7 WHEREAS, the City filed for bankruptcy protection in August 2012:
8 1. As a result, a Recovery Plan in support of a Plan of Adjustment has been filed
9 with the federal bankruptcy court and approved by the Common Council in May
2015 that indicated the Council's approval to seek more cost effective approaches
10 to providing services to the public; and
11 2. The court and creditors expect the City to implement the Plan in good faith and are
12 closely monitoring the City actions toward implementation; and
13 WHEREAS, the City currently provides solid waste and recycling, street sweeping
14 and right-of-way clean-up services to the public using city staff;
15 1. The City would need to invest almost $20 million just to replace its outdated
equipment used to support these activities;
16
2. The private sector performs these services more cost effectively due to economies
17 of scale including capital acquisition, fleet maintenance, workers compensation,
18 employee recruitment, safety and training programs, customer service and billing,
technology and management; and
19 3. Most municipalities contract these services to the private sector; and
20
21 WHEREAS, the City Manager sent out Requests for Proposals in June, 2015 seeking
proposals for a 10-year agreement for solid waste and recycling, street sweeping and right-of-
22 way cleanup services with the option for a five-year renewal;
23 1. Four companies responded to the RFP; and
24 2. A team of professionals with no ties to any of the companies reviewed and rated
25 the proposals;
26 3. The companies were rated on a review of their financial strength, proposed
27 customer rates, technical proposal, financial proposal, and references; and
28
1
1 4. Each company was interviewed and confirmed the customer rates and financial
2 proposal provided to the City and to identify guaranteed savings; and
