This contract is modeled after the <br />Ramsey-Washington Counties contract with RR T and is consistent with the regional waste <br />management master plan. This contract extends through December 31, 2012. <br /> <br />RRT has agreed to contract directly with haulers for the delivery of waste to the facility and <br />will set the tipping fee that will be paid by haulers. The county will pay RRT a processing fee <br />and will pay a quarterly hauler rebate for waste delivered from Anoka County. Each year, the <br />county's payment to RRT is reduced. In addition, the county has been advised by Great River <br />Energy, the operator of the renewable waste-to-energy power plant, that it is negotiating with <br />RRT to purchase the processing facility and work directly with the haulers. <br /> <br />In the new processing contract, the county has included two key provisions that are intended <br />to protect municipalities. First, a "most favored nation" provision requires that garbage <br />managed directly by or pursuant to a contract with a public entity be charged the lowest <br />tipping fee offered at the facility.. Second, haulers are required to provide a credit to public <br />entities equal to the licensed hauler rebate paid by the county for each ton of the public <br />entities' waste delivered to the facility. <br /> <br />1_, f"2 ~ ~--.' r! nn I-S: [:i <br />"\ l-J fG- [ l! \1: ,~ ii,: <br />1\1: -~ ~J ,'-' '--' II\il <br />,,) ,,; <br />!:\ ,_._ .I,! <br />i. ~ i "I ::: 1 2 I!ir\\,g II'i <br />-- I" hU<.J _ L...,..
