Roseville Public Works, Environment and Transportation Commission <br />Agenda Item <br />DATE: November 28, 2023 ITEM: 5.a. <br />ITEM DESCRIPTION: Recycling RFP Discussion <br />Background <br />The City entered into a 3.5 year comprehensive recycling agreement with Eureka Recycling starting on <br />January 1, 2022, and ending on June 30, 2025. <br />Staff started looking towards the next recycling contract, and has met with Ramsey County to discuss the <br />next steps. The high-level points of our current recycling contract are: <br />• Contractor -owned carts. <br />• Every other week servicing for single unit dwellings, weekly servicing of multi -unit dwellings, and <br />a mix of weekly and bi-weekly servicing at our parks and trails. <br />• No revenue/risk share. <br />Questions to think about for discussion purposes: <br />• Should the City own the carts or should the contractor own the carts? Currently, Eureka owns <br />the carts under our contract. There is grant money available to offset the cost of purchasing <br />recycling carts through Ramsey County. Roseville has positioned itself to purchase carts in late <br />2024/early 2025, if required. <br />• Do we stay with every other week servicing, or move to weekly? <br />• Are there points in the last Request for Proposal (RFP) that you like/dislike? <br />• 3 or 5 year term? <br />• Enter into a revenue/risk share model, or not? <br />A tentative schedule for the RFP process is: <br />• Draft RFP for review and comment 1st quarter 2024 <br />• Final RFP for Council consideration by April 2024 <br />• Release of RFP in April 2024 <br />• Proposals due at end of April, early May 2024 <br />• Enter into agreement in July - August 2024 <br />Recommendation <br />Receive update from staff and discuss upcoming Recycling Request for Proposal. <br />Attachments <br />1.
