6. Police Department Needs Presentation Presentation information given during tour prior to meeting. 7. Solid Waste/Recycling Report Chairman Wilke introduced Roseville Recycling Coordinator Tim Pratt. Pratt explained that at the direction of the Council and the Commission the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for recycling service. The RFP's asked vendors to submit proposals for a three-year contract with separate pricing for each of three different levels of service—the current every other week collection of material separated into two sorts (paper products and containers), every week collection of material separated into two sorts, and every other week collection of material that is put into one container(single- stream). The RFP's also required vendors to offer every week collection of material separated into two sorts at apartments, condos and other designated multi-family complexes. The final stipulation is that the two-sort collection proposals include a pilot program for single-stream collection. Pratt said the Residential Solid Waste and Recycling Citizen Advisory Committee had been unable to reach a recommendation on which of these levels of service to recommend to the Council. The Council then forwarded the issue to the Commission to decide which level of service to recommend. BFI proposed$2.02 per unit for the multi-family complexes, $2.10 per household for every other week collection of two-sort material, and $2.33 for weekly collection. The prices include an annual increase of 4%or the CPI whichever is less. For every other week collection, BFI would want to divide each daily zone in half. It would collect one half in the first week and the other half in the second week. It chose not to submit a proposal for single-stream collection. E-z Recycling proposed $0.90 per unit for the multi-family complexes, $1.95 per household for every other week collection of two-sort material, and $2.15 for weekly collection. It would also include collection of bagged clothing in its price. It chose not to submit a proposal for single-stream collection. Waste Management proposed$1.05 per unit for the multi-family complexes, $2.05 per household for every other week collection of two-sort material, $2.55 for weekly collection, and$2.49 for single-stream collection(single-stream would be a five-year contract). The prices include an annual increase of 3% or the CPI whichever is less. Waste Management recommended Roseville begin with the current option, conduct the pilot in the second quarter of 2003 and then switch to single-stream if desired. It offered to guarantee its price of$2.49 for single-stream if the City switches at that time. Page 2 of 4
