Burrtec and Republic
Background:
The City's ability to take refuse and other materials to County landfills ceased when the Waste
Disposal Agreement("WDA") expired 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.

17.0 Compensation for Recyclable Materials And Accounting.
17.1 Revenue Calculation. Revenue calculation for City Recyclable Materials
shall be calculated as set forth below:
N
Contractor will pay City $15 per ton less a 40% weight deduction for residual. N
Example: If the City delivers 1500 tons during a given month to Contractor the
following year-one calculation will apply: 1500 tons less 40% = 900 tons x $15
per ton = $13,500 net payment. At the end of 60 days, a waste characterization will
be performed that will potentially increase the Contractor payment to the
City. If the said waste characterization demonstrates that the City's residual r
reduces to 30% or below, the Contractor's payment to the City increases from $15 m'
per ton to $20 per ton. If the said waste characterization demonstrates that the E
City's residual reduces to 25% or below, the Contractor's payment to the City N
increases from $15 per ton to $22.50 per ton. If the said waste characterization n
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 o
characterization demonstrates that the City's residual reduces to 15% or below, the 5
Contractor's payment to the City increases from $15 per ton to $30 per ton. If the o
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 per 0
ton. Quarterly waste characterizations and potential per ton price change will
happen upon mutual agreement by both parties. At no time during the contract M
will the Contractor charge the City or increase the residual deduction to more than
40%. a
CL
CL
The parties agree that the characterization of 40% residue is material to this
Agreement and that the City relied on such characterization in entering into E
the Agreement. Contractor shall be responsible to perform periodic v
characterizations in accordance with best management practices. The City's
representatives shall observe any future characterizations. Any recalculation CO
of revenue from subsequent characterizations shall not result in the Contractor
charging City for receipt of material, nor shall such characterization cause the W
level of residue to exceed 40%. In no event, shall the value of the City's material,
net of residue disposed, be less than $zero ($0). e

N
6.0. COMPENSATION AND ACCOUNTING
6.1. Revenue Calculation. 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 3:
calculation will apply: 1500 tons less 40% = 900 tons x $15 per ton = $13,500 net d
payment. At the end of 60 days, a mutually audited waste characterization will be r
performed that will potentially increase the Contractor payment to the City. If the said m'
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 3
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 a
20% or below, the Contractor's payment to the City increases from $15 per ton to $25 0
per ton. If the said waste characterization demonstrates that the City's residual reduces
to 15% or below, the Contractor's payment to the City increases from $15 per ton to $30 a
per ton. If the said waste characterization demonstrates that the City's residual reduces c
to 10% or below, the Contractor's payment to the City increases from $15 per ton to $40
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
Contractor charge the City or increase the residual deduction to more than 40%. r
M
N
N
The parties agree that the characterization of 40% residue is material to this Agreement
and that the City relied on such characterization in entering into the Agreement.
Contractor shall be responsible to perform periodic characterizations in accordance with m
best management practices. The City's representatives shall observe any future
characterizations. Any recalculation of revenue from subsequent characterizations shall a
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
of the City's material, net of residue disposed, be less than $zero ($0).
6.2 Payment to City. Contractor shall pay the Compensation for the preceding m
month to the City no later than thirty (30) calendar days from the end of each month.
Payments to the City will include California Redemption Value applicable to curbside M
Recycling programs. N
6.3 Late Payments- Interest on amounts past due will be assessed at the rate o
of 1.5% per month. N
6.4 Monthly Summary Reports. Contractor will provide the City with a monthly E
report on the overall amount of Recyclable Materials delivered by the City recycling
trucks. Monthly Invoices shall reflect the established percentages of each commodity a
type. Contractor shall submit the weight tickets and monthly summary report to the City

Re: Amendment To The Professional Services Agreement
For Processing Recyclable Materials
Dear Mr. Smith,
Burrtec Waste Industries would once again like to thank you and Integrated Waste
Division Manager Todd Housley, for meeting with us on Tuesday regarding the
proposed amendment to the Professional Services Agreement For Processing
Recyclable Materials. Burrtec has strived to accommodate the City of San Bernardino
with its solid waste needs. Our joint efforts in our negotiations with city staff have
resulted in two viable options to address the City's solid waste disposal and processing
requirements.
Below please find our recommendations to be included in the Agreement Amendment
based on our discussions.
Scope of Services
• The City will deliver a minimum of 50% of their waste stream to include;
refuse recyclables and green waste, to the East Valley Recycling and
Transfer, Burrtec's facility located at 1150 & 1250 South Tippecanoe
Avenue, San Bernardino CA.
• Refuse and Non-recyclable Residue will be disposed at a permitted
disposal facility selected by Contractor.
• There is no longer a requirement for the SB County Waste Delivery
Agreement.
• The East Valley Recycling and Transfer will be the only Burrtec location
for off-loading City Refuse, Recycling and Green Waste loads as of
January 1, 2013.

delivered. (This rate only applies to the terms included in option #1.)

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
