HF&1I has provided solid waste consulting services to the City of Lawndalc since 1997. In 1997 and 2002,14r&H assisted the City in the preparation of two Requests for Proposals ("RFF) and franchise agreements for solid waste collection, curbside recycling and yard waste collection services. • During the first procurement process in 1997, the City's ratepayers saved approximately $130,000 in the first year and $651,000 over the contract term, an 11% decrease over prim rates. The RFP process in 2002 further lowered the City's first year costs by $171,000, resulting in savings of $1.2 million over the contract temr and a 16% decrease over prior rates. As a result of these procurement processes, the City also increased residential recycling and yard waste services, and improved the City's overall diversion pereenlage. • In 2002, HF&H assisted in the establishment of a commercial permit system to track commercial hauling activities in Lawndale, and. the revision of the City's solid waste ordnance to establish new AB 939 fees. Through pomit management activities performed by I-IF&H, the City has collected an additional $100,000 per year in AB 939 fees, and all nine haulers are up-to-date in their fee payments to the City. HF&H has also Provided assistance to the City by evaluating programs for implementation to increase the City%s diversion rate. These programs were included in a Plan of Correction developed under the guidance of HF&H wTiich was submitted and subsequently approved by the California Integrated Waste Management board. An important, contributing factor to our increased diversion rate and collection of fees is the residential contract and commercial permit program oversight performed b7 HF&H. 'through I-1F&H's procurement and negotiation assistance, and FIF&H s ongoingg assistance with AB 939 program implementation, contract and permit oversight, our City's residential diversion rate has increased from 16% in 2003 to 38% to -date.
