such agreements, change, expire or are re-negotiated, current copies of all agreements shall be provided to the City." Waste Management feels that our agreements with our vendors for sale of recyclable materials are confidential and vital to our recycling business. We negotiate agreements for all material received not just the City of Roseville's so ou� pricing is based oi�those quantities. We also do not feel that the Marketing Agreements are even necessary information to the City of Roseville. The RFP goes onto state that revenue sharing should be based on published indexes rather than actual sale amount. Marketing agreements are not applicable to this contract. Revenue Sharing Page 29 Section 8.04. Revenue sharing requires use of published indexed versus actual sale price. Waste Management participates in what is called hedging to guarantee both a stable price and a stable market. We do not always get the published rate, but we are guaranteed a r��arket for our materials. We do not feel that published indexes are valid to revenue sharing. Revenue sharing should be based on what the facility actually gets for the material not a published rate. Processing Facilities Page 25 Section 7.01. The section on materials processing specifies that "The Contractor shall dispose of no more than 5% of material (by weight) as process residuals as part of recyclable materials processing operations." Waste Management's processing facility processes approximately 14,000 tons of recyclable materials each month. The recycling comes from programs that are source separated, dual stream, and single strearx�, multi- family progran�s, comfaa�rcial businesses, and so�rcc separated colnrnercial fibers. We have done extensive studies of our facility aasc� have dete��ni�led that we currently ope��at� at approximately a 6 percent residual for the whole plant. 'This is t��e same plant that has been processing Roseville's recycling since 2001. Curbside Dual Stream Collectivn Scenario Page 44 Section 10.06. If Contractors propose under dual stream scenario, they should assume materials would be both collected and processed in a dual stream mode....It is not acceptable to propose to collect materials in a dual stream mode and then process them in a single stream mode. The City's current program is a dual stream program. Paper products are sorted across Waste Management's Single SortSM line and rigid� are sorted on our rigid only line. The draft RFP as it stands states that this method is unacceptable to the city. This indicates that our current program has been unacceptable to the City of Roseville. That is not the feedback that we have received previously from the City Council. Waste Management is currently providing recycle service to 71 coi�iracts in the Twin Cities area. All of the material that Waste Management collects is processed through our recycling facility. These communities are satisfied with the efficient, safe recycle progran� that Waste Management provides. We have invested r��r $10 million in
