77 <br />78 Staff is asking that the City Council receive a presentation from staff summarizing the <br />79 proposals and scores, then select a contractor and options for the Recycling Services <br />80 contract beyond 2025. Staff will then negotiate a final contract with the selected contractor <br />81 and return to the Council at a future meeting for final approval of the contract. <br />82 <br />83 Policy Objectives <br />84 Chapter 403 of the City Code establishes a system of curbside recycling as a public utility <br />85 for Residential Dwellings and Multi-Family Complexes in the city. In order to meet the goals <br />86 and requirements of this Chapter, the City must contract with a private contractor for the <br />87 collection of recyclable materials. <br />88 <br />89 Equity Impact Summary <br />90 There should be no equity impacts associated with the Recycling RFP, as the recycling <br />91 program is citywide and offered to all residents. <br />92 <br />93 Budget Implications <br />94 Proposer 4 has the lowest average annual collection cost, which is also slightly lower than <br />95 our current 3-year average collection cost. This cost assumes the City purchases the carts <br />96 which would incur an additional cost that would be taken up as a separate council action <br />97 later in the meeting. Staff has been using an estimated contract price that included a <br />98 potential cart purchase for the 2025 budget process, but a more detailed fee analysis will <br />99 be performed and presented to Council after a final contract has been negotiated. <br />100 <br />101 The costs associated with the recycling program are paid for out of the Environmental <br />102 Fund, and the City has established a Recycling Fee that all residential properties pay on <br />103 their Utility Bill. This fee is analyzed annually in order to fund the citywide recycling service. <br />104 This fee will be adjusted as a result of the final cost for recycling services as provided by <br />105 the selected contractor. <br />106 <br />107 Based on the proposed pricing, including the City purchasing carts, the quarterly Recycling <br />108 Fee would increase from $14.55 to $14.99 (~3%). <br />109 <br />110 Staff Recommendations <br />111 Staff recommends that a motion be made to authorize staff to negotiate a contract with <br />112 Proposer 4 for a three-year term, with City-owned carts. <br />113 <br />114 Requested Council Action <br />115 Motion to Authorize staff to negotiate a contract with Proposer 4 for a three-year term, with <br />116 City-owned carts. <br />117 <br />118 <br />Ryan Johnson, Environmental Manager <br />Prepared by: <br />1.
