Chair Ficek thanked Metro Transit for the presentation. 6. Recycling RFP a. 2024 Recycling RFP Proposal Discussion Environmental Manager Ryan Johnson presented the 2024 Recycling RFP proposal to the Commission. Chair Ficek asked what the base price was used to determine this. Mr. Johnson explained that the base proposal gave them a three-year or five-year lease, city -owned or vendor -owned, and no revenue share. Those were the significant components the staff was looking for in that. Mr. Johnson continued his presentation on the 2024 recycling RFP proposal review of current annual costs and proposed a low bid for three-year and five-year comparing city -owned carts and vendor -owned carts. Member Rudolf asked if the City went with City -owned carts, would there be a cost to the mobilization part? Mr. Johnson indicated that it is already included in the cart quote. He reviewed how the plan would work. Member Mueller asked how the cart replacement would work if the carts were City - owned. Mr. Johnson explained the process the City would follow to add more carts and replace carts in the program. Mr. Freihammer noted that the Toter quote the City received included a twelve- year warranty, which was higher than the other quotes. The warranty would cover repairs and replacements, and there would not be a mass cart purchase like this the first time. Mr. Johnson reviewed random notes that each proposer brought to the table and the price escalator from each one. Vice Chair Hodder asked where the different recyclers dispose of the material. He wondered if they were all disposed of in the same place if these were set up differently, and what the market was for the materials that were sent off. Mr. Johnson reviewed the different recycler sites that are used. Page 3 of 5
