Attachment 4 Proposal Summary – CR&R INCORPORATED February 9, 2021 4 ‐ 5 City of Santa Ana Outreach and Education: CR&R will conduct direct outreach to each multi‐family community to discuss collection options, monitor programs for any updates or adjustments needed, and send an annual notice to all communities regarding program availability. Partnership with Goodwill: CR&R has met with Goodwill Industries in Santa Ana to discuss future opportunities for partnership in support of the Bulky Item program. Provision of Recovered Organic Waste Products PROVISION OF RECOVERED ORGANIC WASTE PRODUCTS CR&R will process an estimated 29,000 tons of organics materials at the CR&R ROAR Anaerobic Digestion facility located in Perris California, producing 13 Gasoline Gallon Equivalent (GGE) for every ton of organics processed, or 373,000 GGE (29,000 tons x 13 GGE). Source‐separated yard waste will be recovered as compost at CR&R's composting site in Yuma. CR&R will provide 40 tons of compost for the City's Annual Compost Giveaway event. Employment of Prior Contractor Employees PLAN Drivers for both CR&R and the current hauler belong to the same Teamsters union. CR&R will provide a written offer of employment to qualified and properly licensed drivers as well as mechanics, recycling coordinators, and any other personnel working for the incumbent hauling company assigned to serve Santa Ana. Optional Program: Processing of Commingled Refuse and Recyclables OPTIONAL PROGRAM – PROCESSING OF COMMINGLED REFUSE AND RECYCLABLES CR&R proposes the short‐term use of commingled refuse and recyclables, from July 1, 2022 to December 31, 2023. The purpose of the program is to maximize diversion rates for customers who do not choose to participate in source‐separated recycling and organics services and to ultimately incentivize participation in the source‐separated program by charging less for the source‐ separated program. Short‐Term Impact: Instead of landfill disposal of 100% of the refuse collected, approximately 20‐45% diversion of the material would be achieved through the Mixed Waste Processing program. Long‐Term Impact: Through the incentive of monthly cost savings, and with the impact of the CR&R Recycling Coordinator outreach program, participation in AB 341 and AB 1826 program is expected to increase over the term of the 18‐month program timeframe. Attachment 3‐L: 18% proposed increase for customers without an AB 341 compliant program. Optional Program: Citywide Construction and Demolition Debris Collection and Diversion OPTIONAL PROGRAM – C&D COLLECTION AND DIVERSION CR&R will offer 10‐ and 40‐cubic yard container sizes and will also collect from customer‐provided containers. CR&R proposes to use their two C&D processing facilities; however, CR&R will use a facility within Santa Ana if requested by the City.
