Walters had the lowest Residential Dwelling Unit (RDU) cost in both the three- and five-year contract terms. They also provided an affordable option for the City's Multi -Dwelling Units (MDUs) to "opt -in", if they so choose. There are no MDUs opting in with our current recycling provider. The Residential Dwelling Unit costs per household are summarized below. A detailed cost comparison was provided by Foth Infrastructure and Environment, LLC and is included as Attachment A. The three-year cost proposals are as follows: 3-Year Contract Term Year 1 (5/5/25 to 5/4/26) Year 2 (5/5/26 to 5/4/27) Year 3 (5/5/27 to 5/4/28) Eureka WM Walters Eureka WM Walters Eureka WM Walters $8.98 $970 58-24 1 $9.22 $10.19 $8.48 1 $9.47 $10.69 $8.73 The five-year cost proposals are as follows: 5-Year 4antract Term Year 1 (5jVZ5to 514/25� 1 Year Z(5j5jZ6IDV4f27] Year (515 lbo 514129) Year 415/5IZBto 514129) Tear 5 to 514130] Eureka WM Walters Eureka WN!

The price change shall go into effect on May S of each year. The City will notify the Contractor by the last week of January of the compensation rate for the subsequent contract year." This language exists in our current contract and staff has been told by Foth Infrastructure and Environment, LLC that this is a typical standard for increases. The pricing above includes a 3% increase over the contract years. Therefore, it could be less if the CPI is lower than 3%. It should be noted that the above proposed monthly rates are not reflective of administration costs that are charged monthly as part of the final assessed rate to residents on their property taxes. Based on the negotiations with the selected hauler, staff will bring forth the 2025 rate to the Council at your January 131h City Council meeting. There were factors, other than cost, that contributed to the Committee selecting Walters. • Walters is the only respondent to provide an optional quote to discuss collaboration with the City for a curbside bulky waste collection or possibly a City -run cleanup day. • Walters provided a transition and cart management plan that allows the City to retain ownership of the recycling carts with the storage and servicing of carts performed by the hauler.
