December 8, 2005 Norm Schiferl Saint Paul -Ramsey County Department of Public Health Environmental Health Section 1670 Beam Avenue, Suite A Maplewood, MN 55109 Subject: Roseville's Final Report Dear Norm: [)r~ ~~~I~~I(!~ ~ ~ ~.~ ~,,,~,i;--':rr~ The project team of R. W. Beck, Inc. and Dan Krivit and Associates (Project Team) is pleased to submit this final report entitled, City of Roseville Recycling Pilot Program Summary. This summary report includes analyses and documentation from previously published reports by the City of Roseville (City), Ramsey County (County), and the Project Team. In addition to the results contained within this report, there are some additional observations that we will summarize within this cover letter for your consideration. Post-Pilot and the Competitive Marketplace After the City's pilot project concluded, the City issued its Specifications and Request for '~ Proposal for Comprehensive Recycling Service on August 26, 2005. The Project Team, together ' with County staff, monitored the City's overall recycling services procurement process and related policy decisions. The City's request for proposal (RFP) included key variables tested in the Roseville pilot program and allowed potential vendors to propose on a variety of collection methods including: Dual-stream and/or single-stream collection; Bi-weekly and/or weekly collection frequency ;and ^ Current, 18-gallon curbside recycling bins and/or alternative larger recycling bins or carts. The City utilized the competitive environment of the Twin Cities marketplace for recycling services to encourage best value proposals in response to the City's RFP. Multiple proposal scenarios were allowed. For example, companies could submit a proposal for single-stream collection as well as adual-stream proposal alternative. This system of "alternative proposals" followed a similar practice used successfully by the City of Maplewood in June 2005. On September 21, 2005, the City of Roseville received proposals from four companies. One proposal was selected by the City Council in October 2005 and a final contract was negotiated by City staff based on this selection. The Project Team has not yet received copies of the proposals submitted, as these are being retained by City staff as confidential until the final contract is fully executed and such documents are made publicly available. As you know, the Project Team did not participate in the City's proposal review.
