December 3, 2012 -Approval of a Five-Year Amendment or agreement with one Five-year Extension with Burrtec and Republic Background: The City's ability to take refuse and other materials to County landfills ceases when the Waste Disposal Agreement("WDA")expires on December 16,2012. The City must make arrangements to properly dispose of the waste not only for health and safety reasons but also to comply with the law. Council directed staff to negotiate with Burrtec and Republic to allow those companies to accept and process the City's municipal waste. On December 3,2012, Council approved a five-year amendment or agreement,with one five- year extension option with Burrtec and Republic for processing of waste,recyclables and green waste. The parties negotiated the agreements, and while Burrtec and Republic would not agree to a 30 day termination clause or a 12 month termination clause because their pricing structures are based on a 5 year agreement,they did agree to a "New Technology"provision that allows the City to avail itself of new technologies that arise during the pendency of the contract. The agreements lead to a cost savings over current costs associated with the County's WDA of approximately$166,400 per year in tonnage alone. Additional costs savings related to mileage and wear and tear on the City's vehicles approach a savings of close to a million dollars annually.

Revenue calculation shall be calculated as set forth below: Contractor will pay City $15 per ton less a 40% weight deduction for residual. Example: If the City delivers 1500 tons during a given month to Contractor the following year-one N calculation will apply: 1500 tons less 40% = 900 tons x $15 per ton = $13,500 net payment. At the end of 60 days, a mutually audited waste characterization will be v performed that will potentially increase the Contractor payment to the City. If the said r waste characterization demonstrates that the City's residual reduces to 30% or below, the Contractor's payment to the City increases from $15 per ton to $20 per ton. If the E said waste characterization demonstrates that the City's residual reduces to 25% or below, the Contractor's payment to the City increases from $15 per ton to $22.50 per a ton. If the said waste characterization demonstrates that the City's residual reduces to 20% or below, the Contractor's payment to the City increases from $15 per ton to $25 per ton. If the said waste characterization demonstrates that the City's residual reduces m to 15% or below, the Contractor's payment to the City increases from $15 per ton to $30 N per ton. If the said waste characterization demonstrates that the City's residual reduces to 10% or below, the Contractor's payment to the City increases from $15 per ton to $40 N per ton. Quarterly waste characterizations and potential per ton price change will happen upon mutual agreement by both parties. At no time during the contract will the E Contractor charge the City or increase the residual deduction to more than 40%. rn a The parties agree that the characterization of 40% residue is material to this Agreement c and that the City relied on such characterization in entering into the Agreement. o Contractor shall be responsible to perform periodic characterizations in accordance with .2 best management practices. The City's representatives shall observe any future c characterizations. Any recalculation of revenue from subsequent characterizations shall d not result in the Contractor charging City for receipt of material, nor shall such characterization cause the level of residue to exceed 40%. In no event, shall the value y of the City's material, net of residue disposed, be less than $zero ($0). n N 6.2 Payment to City.

(This rate only applies to the terms included in option #1.) • The City shall pay Contractor a rate of$37.50 per ton for each ton delivered. (This rate only applies to the terms included in option#2.) • Refuse and Non Recyclable Residue Disposal Rate Adjustment o Annual CPI (LA, Orange and Riverside County Area Index— September year over year) and Fuel Adjustments effective January 1, 2014. • Green Waste Disposal and Processing Rate o The City shall pay Contractor a rate of $37.22 per ton for each ton delivered. (This rate applies to both term options.) • Green Waste Disposal and Processing Rate Adjustment o Subject to the current disposal and processing pass through costs. • Termination o The agreement may be terminated for cause only, with a 30 day notice to cure. • Payment to Contractor o Contractor will invoice City in 15 day time periods for the transportation and disposal all refuse and green waste delivered to Contractor for disposal under this agreement. Total invoice shall be due and payable upon receipt and considered late 15 days from receipt. Unpaid invoices will be assessed a late fee of 1.5% per month and may subject the City to suspended disposal privileges.
