to the County of San Bernardino of the City's Intention Not to Extend the Waste Delivery
Agreement(WDA).
November 19, 2012 - Approval of a Month-to-Month Extension to Existing Agreements with
Burrtec Waste Industries, Inc. And Republic Services of Southern California, LLC, and Direct
Staff to Further Negotiate with Vendors for Five and Ten Year Pricing.
January 1, 2013 -Approval of a Five-Year agreement with one Five-year Extension with
Republic Services of Southern California, LLC.
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. As such,the City made
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 vendors, one of which was
Republic Services of Southern California, LLC.
On January 1, 2013, Council approved a five-year agreement,with one five-year extension
option with Republic Services of Southern California, LLC, for processing of waste,recyclable
and green waste. The parties negotiated the agreements, and while Republic Services of Southern
California, LLC,would not agree to a 30-day nor a 12-month termination clause because their
pricing structures are based on a five-year agreement,they did agree to a "New Technology"
provision that allows the City to avail itself of new technologies that arise during the course of
4
' the contract.
` The current purchase order is set at$2,500,000. This amount is not based on a contractual value
as the agreement does not indicate a fixed value, only a per-ton price. The proposed amendment
will incorporate a not-to-exceed value of$3,000,00 per year. This amount is based on tonnages
and per ton pricing over a 12-month period.
Staff recommends that the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San Bernardino authorize
and direct the Director of Administrative Services to authorize an amendment of the professional
services agreement with Republic Services of Southern California, LLC, for the processing of
organic materials,recycling materials, and municipal non-recyclable solid waste.

17.1 Revenue Calculation. Revenue calculation for City Recyclable Materials
shall be calculated as set forth below:
a
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 3
following year-one calculation will apply: 1500 tons less 40% = 900 tons x $15 a
per ton = $13,500 net payment. At the end of 60 days, a waste characterization will a.
be performed that will potentially increase the Contractor payment to the
City. If the said 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 said waste characterization demonstrates that the E
City's residual reduces to 25% or below, the Contractor's payment to the City a
increases fi-om $15 per ton to $22.50 per ton. If the said waste characterization CO
demonstrates that the City's residual reduces to 20% or below, the Contractor's
IL payment to the City increases from $15 per ton to $25 per ton. If the said waste N
characterization demonstrates that the City's residual reduces to 15% or below, the Z
Contractor's payment to the City increases from $15 per ton to $30 per ton. If the w
said waste characterization demonstrates that the City's residual reduces to 10% or LU
below, the Contractor's payment to the City increases from $15 per ton to $40 per a
ton. Quarterly waste characterizations and potential per ton price change will N
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 U
M
40%. D
a
w
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 a)
the Agreement. Contractor shall be responsible to perform periodic
characterizations in accordance with best management practices. The City's w
representatives shall observe any future characterizations. Any recalculation a
of revenue from subsequent characterizations shall 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).

17.0 Compensation for Recyclable Materials And Accounting,
1.7.1 Revenue Calculation. Revenue calculation for City Recyclable Materials
2
shall be calculated as set forth below:
CL
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 3
following year-one calculation will apply: 1500 tons less 40% = 900 tons x $15 a
per ton = $13,500 net payment. At the end of 60 days, a waste characterization will a.
be performed that will potentially increase the Contractor payment to the
City. If the said 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 said waste characterization demonstrates that the CD
City's residual reduces to 25% or below, the Contractor's payment to the City a
increases from $15 per ton to $22.50 per ton. If the said waste characterization CO
demonstrates that the City's residual reduces to 20% or below, the Contractor's M
payment to the City increases from $15 per ton to $25 per ton. If the said waste N
characterization demonstrates that the City's residual reduces to 15% or below, the Z
Contractor's payment to the City increases from $15 per ton to $30 per ton. If the 2
said waste characterization demonstrates that the City's residual reduces to 10% or LU
below, the Contractor's payment to the City increases from $15 per ton to $40 per a
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 m
40%. a
W
The parties agree that the characterization of 40% .residue is material to this W
Agreement and that the City relied on such characterization in entering into 0
the Agreement. Contractor shall be responsible to perform periodic
characterizations in accordance with best management practices. The City's
representatives shall observe any future characterizations. Any recalculation a
of revenue from subsequent characterizations shall 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).
