CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT
A resolution authorizing the execution of an agreement with Taormina Industries, L.L.c. for the
provision of commingled recyclables processing.
BACKGROUND
OnJuly 10,1995 Council approved the execution of an agreement betWeen the City of San
Bernardino and Taormina Industries, L.L.c. for the processing of commingled recyclables from the
residential waste stream. This Agreement was for a period of two (2) years with three (3) one-year
options. The original agreement ended on July 27,2000. On July 24,2000 Council approved the
execution of the First Amendment to the above Agreement to extend the term to October 27, 2000.
Requests for Proposal for Commingled Recyclables Processing, RFP F-01-39, were sent to four (4)
vendors, the San Bernardino Area Chamber of Commerce, and advertised in The Sun Newspaper
and the City Web page on August 15, 2000. Two (2) proposal packages were received on September
18,2000 from Buntec Waste Industries, Inc of Fontana, California and Taonnina Industries, L.L.c.
located in Anaheim, California.
Proposal packages consisted of two separate parts; the services proposal, and cost and pricing data.
An Evaluation Team consisting of Arlington Rodgers, Solid Waste Manager, Linda Ceballos,
Environmental Projects Coordinator and T eri Baker, Administrative Analyst reviewed and evaluated
the services proposals. A scoring criteria using six categories was used to evaluate each proposal and
each evaluator was asked to assign a rank of 0 being no response to 5 being best qualified to each of
the six categories.
Each respondent to the RFP was asked to provide cost and pricing data by completing two tables
within the RFP and to submit this data in a sealed envelope separately from the written proposal.
Upon completion of the proposal evaluations, cost and price forms were opened, declared, and
evaluated as follows:
Table 1 requested Commingled Recyclables Pricing on sixteen (16) commodities such as papers,
metals, plastics and glass that are separated and marketed from the commingled recyclables stream.
This form includes information regarding the cost per ton to process this material stream, a
transportation cost per mile for transferring this material from one location to another, if applicable,
and a cost per ton for disposal of any unrecyclable residuals that would need to be disposed of at a
landfill.
Table 2 requested Floor Prices For Commingled Recyclables for the same 16 commodities. Floor
pricing is the minimum price paid to the City for each commodity and protects the City against a
collapse of market value for each commodity for which a floor price is provided. For example, if
the floor price for old corrugated cardboard is $20.00 per ton, but the market goes to $1.00 per ton,
the City will receive the floor price for it's material stream.
In order to determine the best dollar value for the City, staff used the floor pricing to determine
each vendor's net average cost. The floor pricing is used since this is a guaranteed lowest net cost to
the City; actual market prices vary greatly based upon an individual vendor's arrangements with end
users of the processed recyelables and global economic conditions. The City may experience higher
revenues than those calculated by using the floor prices. Taormina provided floor pricing on
seventeen (17) commodities while Burrtec provided floor pricing on twelve (12) commodities. In
order to calculate a total revenue per ton, each commodity was assigned a quantity of one ton and a
total revenue was calculated. From this total revenue, the total tonnage of recyelables, seventeen
(17) tons for Taormina and twelve (12) tons for Burrtech, were multiplied by each vendor's
processing fee cost. TIlls cost was then subtracted from the total revenue to calculate a net revenue
or expense. TIlls net revenue/expense number was then divided by the tonnage number (17 or 12,
respectively) in order to calculate a net cost number for each of the years. The following tables
summarize these calculations:
TAORMINA FLOOR PRICING YEAR: 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004

Ton
Using the 1999 waste diversion information that provides tons and each proposer's floor pricing, the
City has calculated that the Taormina proposal may have a maximum first year fmancial impact on
the Refuse Fund, Account 5179 Dump Fees of $428,684.31 based on delivery of 11,100.76 tons of
conuningled recyelables. Under the Taormina proposal, the cost of this expense will be offset by
80% of the revenues from the sale of recyelables. This represents a minimum estimated revenue
stream of $435,354.14, resulting in a net income to the City of $6,669.83 through the Taormina
proposal. The Burrtec proposal would have a maximum fIrst year fmancial impact of $564,621.85
based on delivery of 11,100.76 tons. Under the Burrtec proposal, this cost of this expense may be
offset by 85% of the revenues from the sale of recyclables. This represents a minimum revenue
stream of $227,730.77, resulting in a net expense cost to the City of $336,891.08 through the
Burrtec proposal.
2
The results of both the proposal evaluation and the price comparison were entered into a
spreadsheet that assigned a weighted value to each of the six categories. (See Proposal Evaluation
Scores - Staff Report Attachment #1). As a result of this process, Taonnina Industries, L.L.c.
received a 14.100 rating while Burrtec Waste Industries received an 8.4 rating.
As a result of this process, it is recommended that this agreement be awarded to Taormina
Industries, L.L.C. for the following reasons:
1. Based on the results of the RFP process, Taormina is the best qualified vendor to perform
this service for the City.
2. Taormina's trans-load facility is located closer to the City's collection operation (3.6 miles
from the City Yard) while Burrtec's closest facility is located 9 miles from the City yard.
Both facilities are located within the City of San Bernardino.
3. Taormina offers guaranteed floor pricing for seventeen (17) commodities while Burrtec
offers guaranteed floor pricing for twelve (12), thus increasing the City's ability to divert a
larger quantity of materials during poor market conditions.
4. The City has had five (5) years of experience with this particular vendor and has been
satisfied with the vendor's performance on the existing contract. From JanuaJY 2000 through
August 2000, the City delivered 8,665.98 tons of recyclables to Taonnina under its current
contract. The total cost of processing and disposal of these materials was $2,245.71 or
approximately 26 cents per ton.
The RFP and resulting Agreement, if approved, would be for a period of two (2) years, with three
(3) one-year options to a maximum of five (5) years. This Agreement may be terminated by either
party with cause. Upon a ninety (90) day written notice.
FINANCIAL
The first year dump fees are estimated at $428,684; the first year revenue, 80%of the sale of
recyclables, are estimated at $435,354. Therefore, the estimated net income to the Refuse Fund in
the first year is $6,670. The FYOO/01 Budget, Refuse Fund, Account 5179 Dump Fees, includes
funds to cover the above.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute the agreement with Taormina Industries,
L.L.c. to process the City's residential commingled recyclables for a two (2) year period, with three
(3) one.year options for a maximum of five (5) years.

A. WORK PLAN AND METHODOLOGY
Taormina Industries plans to continue operation of its transloading facility
located at 1939 N. Lincoln Street in San Bernardino until April, 2001. At
this time, Taormina Industries is scheduled to open a new facility to be
located at 2059 Steel Road in the City of Colton.
Lincoln Street Facilirv (3.6 miles trom the Cirv's Coroorate Yard):
We would propose no change in the City of San Bernardino's current route
delivery operation. Residential and Commercial selected loads would be
delivered by the City's collection route drivers to the Lincoln Street
transloading facility. There would be no changes in the operating hours,
dumping area or any other operating concerns for the City of San
Bernardino. The City's route trucks would continue dumping between the
hours of 7:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Early, late or
weekend hours (holiday collection) can be arranged with advance notice at
no additional cost to the City. The route vehicles would weight in on our
scale and receive a computerized load receipl The trucks would then dump
inside our facility and exit through the main gate. The time away from the
collection route should be less than five minutes.
The material will then be transported via walking floor transfer trucks to
Taormina's Regional Material Recovery & Processing Facility in Anaheim.
The material will then be processed to achieve maximum recovery, with all
recovered materials marketed from the processing facility. Taormina
Industries not only has guaranteed long-term markets for the material
recovered, but also guaranteed floor pricing. Any residue material will be
transferred via transfer vehicle to the San Bernardino County landfill located
in the City of Colton. If any hazardous waste would be found during
roonnina Industm.

Steel Road Facility (3.9 miles from the City's Coroorate Yard)
This new facility, operational in April, 200 I, will require no operational
changes in the City's collection operation. Residential and Commercial
selected loads would be delivered by the City's route drivers to the Steel
Road facility. The City would not be required to store and transload any
material from its corporate yard. All dumping procedures will remain the
same. The City's route vehicles would continue dumping between the hours
of 7:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. The new facility will
be operational Saturday to process Saturday Commercial Collection Routes.
Additional operating hours can be arranged with advance notice at no
additional cost to the City. The route vehicles will continue to receive a
computerized load receipt. After being weighted, the trucks would dwnp
inside the facility and exit onto Steel Road. The time away from the
collection route should again be less than five minutes.
The material delivered by the City will now be processed onsite. This new
facility will employ a number of residents from the local community. The
technology of processing will be discussed in Section 4.b.(4). Hazardous
waste, if encountered, will be properly disposed of through licensed
professionals under contract with Taonnina Industries. Disposal of spoiled
or rejected materials will be the responsibility of Taonnina Industries. All
residue waste from the processing of the City's material will be landfilled

B. PROJECT ORGANIZA nON AND STAFFING
(1) Taormina Industries was founded in 1949 as the commercial hauler for
the City of Anaheim. Taormina Industries' sister company, Anaheim
Paper Mill Supplies, was founded shortly thereafter to market the
cardboard and paper recovered from the commercial waste stream.
Taormina Industries has been recovering and marketing recyclables for
over 50 years.
CVT, a new processing division of Taormina Industries, was
established in 1984 at the time of the opening of the Taormina
Industries Material Recovery Facility. For the past 16 years, CVT has
been processing and marketing materials worldwide, serving over 60
local municipalities.
(2) Taormina Industries, L.L.C., a Limited Liability Company, a wholly
owned subsidiary of Republic Services, a Delaware Corporation,
operating in Southern California, provides municipal solid waste
collection, disposal and recycling services to over 500,000 residents
and businesses weekly. There are no creditors owed a debt greater
than 10% of the company's assets. Officers within California are:

(3) The size of the transloading facility currently in use for San
Bernardino recyclables is 11,550 square feet in size with a 200 tons
per day operating capacity. Our processing facility is planned to be
fully operation in April, 200 I has a 2 1,000 square feet processing area.
(4) Processinfl Procedures
All material delivered to the processing facility will be weighted with
the driver given a computerized dump receipt. The driver would be
directed to a flat deck dumping area. After dumping the driver would
be able to immediately exit and return to his route (in less than five
minutes).
Both processing facilities will use multiple floor mounted conveyors to
move material onto processing conveyors where vibrating finger
screens will size the material. The automated system is designed to
accept all recyclable and non-recyclable solid waste material and
separates them by size and type. The new facility will be designed to
process 1,900 tons per day, regardless of whether the material arrives
commingled, three-bin separated or unsorted. After the material is
separated and sized, the sorting crew will manually pull individual
material types (listed in the Appendix) off the moving conveyors lines
into catch basins or source specific recovery conveyors. Wheel
loaders and forklifts will be used to move various segregated and

possible prices. We are able to guarantee not only the highest prices
possible, but guaranteed markets for the materials Taormina Industries
recovers. We are able to offer the City of San Bernardino these
guarantees based on long-term market agreements and base pricing
Taormina Industries has been able to established over the past twenty
years of quality broker/end-user relationships.
All residue waste from the processing operation will be transferred to
the Colton landfill, part of the San Bernardino landfill system.
Hazardous waste, if encountered, will be properly disposed of through
licensed professionals under Taormina's direct supervision.
Waste Characterization Procedures
When the waste stream from the City of San Bernardino anives at the
new processing facility, a total and complete new baseline
characterization will be done on 100% of the material. Separate waste
characterizations will be developed for the curbside residential
material, selected "dry" conunercialloads, mixed commercial loads
and industrial roll-off loads based on type of material.
Once a complete characterization of 100% of the waste stream has
been completed and the results have been validated, the information is
inputted into the facility's database. When a City vehicles enters the
processing facility the net weight and type of load is recorded into the

computer and the appropriate characterization is applied to the tonnage
in the vehicle.
On a daily basis the inflow of material is balanced against the amounts
of recyclables actually recovered from the waste stream. In addition to
the ongoing reconciliation of actual recovery against the
characterization in the data base, Taonnina will perfonn ongoing
random sampling of various loads to validate the characterizations on
file. The City may at any time take part in these waste
characterizations.
The methodology described above is a very accurate, statistically
correct procedure for ensuring that the characterizations assigned to
each waste stream matches the actual material brought to the
processing facility.
(5) Taonnina Industries has assembled a management and operations team
that is unsurpassed in the solid waste industry. The combination of
traditional refuse collection experience, recycling expertise, innovative
management systems, and the integration of new technological
advances places Taonnina Industries in the best position to continue to
serve the processing needs for the City of San Bernardino. Our team
remains 100% committed to the overall success of the waste reduction
programs of the City of San Bernardino. To underscore our
commitment to serve the City of San Bernardino, the following key
management and operations personnel will personally oversee the

Response To City o/San Bernardino Request For Proposal Commingled R~C)'CJables Processing
ATTACHMENT TO TABLE 1
TRANSPORT A nON COST PER MILE
Taormina Industries will pay all transportation costs to transload and.
transfer material to be processed from San Bernardino to its facility in
Anaheim until the Steel Road Facility is operational. At that time aU
processing will be done locally, requiring no additional transportation costs.
The City of San Bernardino will incur no transportation cost with
Taormina's processing proposal.
RESIDUAL DISPOSAL COST PER TON
Taormina Industries will charge the City of San Bernardino the actual
contracted "Flow Control" gate fee per ton. There will be no additional
transfer costs added to the City's disposal costs. Current rate was stated to
be $29.52 per ton.
PRICING FORMULA AND PUBLISHED PRICE BASE
The City of San Bernardino will have a "Triple Price Option". Taormina
Industries will establish a current market price per ton using the actual
monthly income per ton for each commodity sold by Taormina Industries.
This rate per ton will then be compared with the monthly "Offidal Board
Market" (Yellow Sheet) price listing for the greater Los Angeles area. These
rates will then be compared with the guaranteed "Floor Rates" from our
proposal, Taormina Industries will use the highest ofthe three rates to
establish the monthly commodity value for the benefit of the City of San
Bernardino. Taormina Industries will then credit the City of San
Bernardino with 80% ofthe resulting income. Taormina's operating margin
will come from successfully recovering and marketing the material processed
to cover our costs with 20% return on the material that is marketed.
