The scope of this agreement included <br />development of cost projections for an AB 1826-compliant organics diversion program, for use <br />in the current Solid Waste Services Request for Proposals (RFP) process; assistance with <br />incorporating State -mandated diversion programs into the RFP evaluation process; assistance <br />with CALGreen building standards compliance; and general assistance with solid waste and <br />recycling compliance. <br />This agreement, which is set to expire June 30, 2020, includes a one-year extension option to <br />June 30, 2021. As the State of California continues an active legislative agenda relative to the <br />recycling of solid waste, jurisdictions are increasingly responsible for timely deployment of <br />appropriate programs and implementation of municipal code changes. To assist the City in <br />meeting these legislative requirements, staff desires to exercise the one-year extension in the <br />agreement with ENI to complete the original scope of work. Staff also requests to expand the <br />scope to include municipal code updates related CALGreen building standards compliance, <br />develop enforcement mandates for existing and new State of California mandates (i.e., AB 341, <br />AB 1826, and SB 1383), and add compensation for the additional work. <br />25D-1 <br />
