MEMORANDUM <br /> Jan Perkins <br /> To: Deputy City Manager August 21, 1989 <br /> David H. Grosse, Exec. Dire'c- � '' ' k140 <br /> Date: <br /> From: Public Works Agency <br /> AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT WITH GREAT WESTERN RECLAMATION, INC. FOR <br /> Subject:COLLECTION AND TRANSPORTATION OF SOLID WASTE REFUSE <br /> STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE <br /> On November 17, 1986 , the City entered into an agreement with Great <br /> Western Reclamation, Inc. for the collection and transportation of <br /> solid waste refuse. Under this agreement, the amount paid to Great <br /> Western per residential service unit is equal to the average of the <br /> monthly rates paid by or in the six cities of Anaheim, Costa Mesa, <br /> Fullerton, Garden Grove, Huntington Beach, and Orange for similar <br /> curbside residential services performed once per week. The <br /> agreement states that the rates to be compared in each of the six <br /> cities "shall include all disposal fees and costs. " Both Great <br /> Western and the City agree that, because contractor costs are <br /> identified so differently in the six cities, additional language <br /> is needed in Section 21, subparagraph C to better define the <br /> applicable costs, to exclude all administrative or miscellaneous <br /> amounts. <br /> The residential service rate calculation is performed on July 1 of <br /> each year and remains in effect for the 12 months of the fiscal <br /> year. The rate cannot be changed during the fiscal year unless <br /> County landfill fees are increased by 10% or more. According to <br /> Section 21, subparagraph G of the agreement, if County landfill <br /> fees increase by 10% or more, the City and Great Western are <br /> required to meet and confer regarding the impact of the fee <br /> increases and possibility of increasing the residential service <br /> unit rate to offset the County fee increase. <br /> A similar provision was omitted from the commercial service section <br /> of the agreement. Great Western has subsequently requested this <br /> amendment to the contract. The proposed amendment adds <br /> subparagraph "H" to Section 22 and requires the City and Great <br /> Western to meet and confer regarding commercial service rates if <br /> County Landfill fees increase by 10% or more. <br /> ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED <br /> 1. One available option is to not amend the agreement with Great <br /> Western Reclamation, Inc. This is not recommended because <br /> both parties agree that additional language is necessary in <br /> Section 21. Also, a "meet and confer" provision is needed in <br /> Section 22 since County landfill fee increases are beyond the <br /> control of the contractor. <br /> 2 . The recommended alternative is to amend the agreement with <br /> Great Western Reclamation. This will add language to the <br /> agreement and improve Sections 21 and 22 outlined above. <br /> 2 <br />
