CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO—REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Agreement/Contract
From: Nadeem Majaj M/CC Meeting Date: 10/17/2011
Prepared by: James Keezell, (909) 384-5140
Dept: Public Works Ward(s): All
Subject:
Resolution of the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San Bernardino Authorizing
Execution of a Professional Services Agreement with Burrtec Waste Industries, Inc., Pursuant to
San Bernardino Municipal Code Section 3.04.010 Paragraph B3, to Allow Burrtec Waste
Industries, Inc., to Provide Commingled Recycling and Commercial Recycling Processing.
Financial Impact:
There is no impact to the General Fund nor the IWM Division
Recommended Motion:
Adopt Resolution.
Synopsis of Previous Council Action:
None.
Background:
On November 6, 2006, the City entered into a Professional Services Agreement with Burbank
Recycling Inc. (BRI) to process recycling materials for the City. Burbank Recycling remits a
payment to the City based upon the overall percentage of curbside recycling materials processed.
The agreement with BRI is not an exclusive agreement to process recycling and the City
currently does not have another agreement in place with an additional processor, thus limiting
the City's operational options. The City currently has multiple disposal options for refuse and
green waste through the County landfill system and private service providers, creating
I operational flexibility. However, the City currently only has the option with BRI for the
processing of recyclable materials.
i
Burrtec Waste Industries, Inc. is willing to enter into an agreement with the City under the same
terms of the current agreement with BRI to process curbside and commercial recycling, and
remit payments to the City based upon the overall recycling percentage (Attachment A). The
City's current disposal agreements for all commodities expire in December 2012 and City staff
anticipates releasing a Request for Proposal which will address all of the City's disposal
requirements.

works, pictures, drawings, sounds, or symbols, or combinations thereof. City shall have
full ownership and control of all such writings delivered by Contractor pursuant to this
Agreement.
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
calculation will apply: 1500 tons less 40% = 900 tons x $15 per ton = $13,500 net 0°
payment. At the end of 60 days, a mutually audited waste characterization will be 3
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, E
the Contractor's payment to the City increases from $15 per ton to $20 per ton. If the a
said waste characterization demonstrates that the City's residual reduces to 25% or a
below, the Contractor's payment to the City increases from $15 per ton to $22.50 per v,
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
to 15% or below, the Contractor's payment to the City increases from $15 per ton to $30 LO
per ton. If the said waste characterization demonstrates that the City's residual reduces r
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 C
happen upon mutual agreement by both parties. At no time during the contract will the .0
Contractor charge the City or increase the residual deduction to more than 40%. d
W
u
a
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. x
Contractor shall be responsible to perform periodic characterizations in accordance with w
best management practices. The City's representatives shall observe any future
characterizations. Any recalculation of revenue from subsequent characterizations shall
not result in the Contractor charging City for receipt of material, nor shall such (D
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).
m
6.2 Payment to City. Contractor shall pay the Compensation for the preceding c
month to the City no later than thirty (30) calendar days from the end of each month. E
Payments to the City will include California Redemption Value applicable to curbside i
Recycling programs. a
w
6.3 Late Payments. Interest on amounts past due will be assessed at the rate
of 1.5% per month.
R
r

report on the overall amount of Recyclable Materials delivered by the City recycling
trucks. Monthly Invoices shall reflect the established percentages of each commodity
