This change will not interfere with Staff’s ability to <br />complete required reporting. <br /> <br />• Language regarding credits and reporting for revenue sharing was removed. Walters’ bid <br />did not include revenue share. Many communities are moving away from revenue sharing <br />because it is difficult to budget for and the market is unpredictable. <br /> <br />Hauler Transition Roll Out <br /> <br />Walters will continue the current collection schedule days and residents will continue to use the <br />carts they have now. Walters has a strong contingency plan, with an account manager who will <br />“own” the relationship with the City and be the day-to-day Senior-level contact at Walters as we <br />make this transition. Walters has provided the following tentative transition schedule to prepare <br />for the change in haulers. Staff provided the most updated address and container size information <br />received from the current recycling hauler to Walters on February 6, 2025. <br /> <br />Item Lead Time Projected Date <br /> <br />RDU Address List (provided by city) 90 Days 2.3.25 <br /> <br />RDU Container Sizes (provided by city) 90 Days 2.3.25 <br /> <br />Hauler Transition Mailer 30 Days 4.3.25 <br />- Developed by Walters, approved <br /> by City <br />- City Promote Transition and Walters <br /> App in City communications and website <br /> <br />Coordinate extra cart inventory exchange 14-21 Days 4.14.25 – 4.21.25 <br /> <br />Hauler Transition Postcard to Residents Deployed the Week of 4.21.25 <br /> <br />Budget Impact <br /> <br />The recycling budget is an enterprise fund that receives revenues from the annual household fee <br />that is assessed to the property taxes and from the SCORE grant provided by Ramsey County. <br />Most of the expenses are from the services provided by the Recycling Hauler. Since there are no <br />other dedicated funding sources, the revenue must be balanced with the expenses. The recycling <br />fee is set annually by the City. Under the proposed contract, any rate increase shall not exceed <br />five (5) percent. <br /> <br />Attachments Attachment A: Draft Comprehensive Recycling Services Contract <br />Attachment B: CPI-U 10-Year Lookback Data <br />Attachment C: Sample Price List for a Clean Up Event
