Attachment 4 Proposal Summary – CR&R INCORPORATED February 9, 2021 4 ‐ 6 City of Santa Ana AB 341, AB 1826, and SB 1383 Implementation Plan AB 341, AB 1826, AND SB 1383 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN Proposed activities beyond draft agreement requirements:  Before April 1, 2022, three recycling coordinators that will be dedicated to the City of Santa Ana will be hired and trained.  The recycling coordinators will conduct door‐to‐door residential outreach and education and multi‐family and commercial site visits. They will be responsible for conducting Community Workshops, the distribution of In‐ Home Kitchen Pails for SB 1383 compliance and arranging delivery of Internal Collection Receptacles for AB 1826/SB 1383 compliance. The Recycling Coordinators will be available to participate in Community Events throughout the year to promote diversion programs.  CR&R will perform an additional six workshops (RFP requires 5): six residential workshops, one in each Council Ward; three multi‐ family workshops, coordinated with ComLink; and two commercial workshops coordinated with the Chamber of Commerce and the City’s Economic Development Department. AB 341 and AB 1826 Implementation Plan CR&R’s proposed implementation plan targets 1,000 of the AB 341 and AB 1826 non‐compliant customers (or 55% of the non‐ compliant customers) prior to the start of the new contract. Each of the three Recycling Coordinators will be given an outreach goal of approximately 6 site visits per day. Combined, the Recycling Coordinator team will be tasked with reaching 90 customers per week, over a 13‐week transition period. Outreach will consist of verifying if customers have any internal programs and identifying any opportunities for source separated collection programs or the need to implement a short‐term mixed waste processing program if selected by the City. SB 1383 Implementation Plan CR&R will offer co‐collection and co‐digestion of residential food waste combined in a single cart with green waste for energy recovery and nutrient production (Anaerobic Compost) with 100% capture of methane emissions as prescribed by SB 1383. Residential Trash Cart Auditing and Education CR&R began a residential trash cart auditing program in 2008 to increase recycling awareness and diversion. The following steps are used for the auditing and education program: 1. Survey contents of trash carts for recyclable materials exceeding threshold of 10% 2. Monitor for contamination in recycle cart greater than 10% threshold 3. Provide education reminder tag of what could be recycled 4. Follow up survey to identify any change in habits 5. Results in similar programs have reduced recyclables found in trash carts by 15% Proposed Exceptions to Franchise Agreement NUMBER OF EXCEPTIONS DESCRIPTION OF EXCEPTIONS TAKEN 5 1. Article 4.4.2 Construction and Demolition from City Government Operations CR&R proposes to remove the word “significant” from the language, because the term is subject to differing interpretations. 4.4.2 Construction and Demolition from City Government Operations The City will implement procedures to separate wood, Organics, metals, and inert materials from mixed waste generated through City construction projects, from City government operations. Contractor is not required to Collect, transport and Divert Construction and Demolition Debris from significant City construction and demolition projects performed by contractors. The separation procedures will be applied to inbound loads that readily lend themselves to manual separation. The implementation of the procedures may, from time‐to‐time, be hampered by City Yard logistics or by personnel availability. The separation procedures will be incorporated by the City as a standard operating procedure and will be reasonable and practicably applied.
