Roseville Public Works, Environment and Transportation Commission Agenda Item Date: February 23, 2016 Item No: 6 Item Description: Recycling RFP Discussion (Continued from January Meeting) Background: The City's current contract with Eureka Recycling for city wide recycling services expires at the end of 2016. The City must now request proposals from recycling contractors for services beyond 2016. Staff has been working with Ramsey County to update the Request for Proposals (RFP) that was distributed in 2013 and ultimately resulted in the City awarding a three year contract with Eureka Recycling. Attached is the proposed RFP for services beyond 2016 (with edits from the last meeting), as well as the RFP from 2013. Also attached is the current contract with Eureka Recycling. There are several items we will discuss related to the RFP, some of which include (some of these already discussed in January): • Should the City own the carts or should the contractor own the carts? Currently Eureka owns the carts under our contract. There is a memo from Ramsey County's consultant, Foth Infrastructure and Environment, with some background on this item • How should we handle recycling in parks? • We are proposing to stay with every other week service. • Organics Collection: We are simply asking for a proposal from the contractor on how this could be done. It is very likely we will not be able to offer organics collection initially, but would negotiate a collection later in the contract term. The RFP is scheduled to be released in late March or early April. Proposals would be due at the end of April. Staff plans to present the RFP to the City Council on March 14th for their consideration. Recommended Action: Receive presentation, discuss RFP and make recommendations to the City Council.
