amount of such disposal cost savings realized by the Contractor for the preceding quarter. The
parties agree to provide the other party with reasonable documentation necessary for the parties
to make the determination on any additional disposal costs or disposal cost savings to the Con-
tractor regarding the use of a Disposal Site specified by the City. In the event the City designates

ignation of a Disposal Site to be utilized by the Contractor such rescission shall be in writing. In

ARTICLE 3—MODIFIED VOLUME BASED PROGRAM
1. IN GENERAL
Contractor shall provide the services described in this Agreement on a "modified volume
basis" as defined in Article 2, Section 2(m) herein, and in this Article 3.
2. REFUSE
Each eligible household stop shall receive 64 gallons of weekly refuse collection service
by the Contractor as described herein below.
(a) Curbside Households:
Each dwelling unit within a curbside household will be provided with a 64-gallon
wheeled refuse cart under the terms of Article 3, Section 11 to correspond with the base level
service provided by the City. Residents shall have the option of substituting a 35-gallon cart at
no additional cost to the City or resident. Residents shall also have the option to upgrade to a 96-
gallon cart for a monthly fee. The monthly fee for the larger cart shall follow the same volume-
based pricing specified herein based on the following formula:
96-Gallon Cart Upgrade: The Rate for One (1) Disposal Sticker x 4.33
The Contractor shall invoice the resident directly for the cost of these larger carts.
These additional carts shall remain the property of the Contractor.
The Contractor shall provide and make available additional carts to residents upon re-
quest for a fee. The monthly fee for this service will be the cost of the additional volume of
waste to be disposed of figured as follows:
35-Gallon Cart: The Rate for One (1) Disposal Sticker x 4.33
64-Gallon Cart: The Rate for Two (2) Disposal Stickers x 4.33
96-Gallon Cart: The Rate for Two (3) Disposal Stickers x 4.33
29
The Contractor shall invoice the resident directly for the cost of these additional
carts. These additional carts shall remain the property of the Contractor.

provided, residents will be required to place a pre-paid disposal sticker on each disposal unit of
refuse in excess of the provided cart(s) for collection by the Contractor. Residents who opt to
downgrade to a 35 gallon refuse cart, shall be allowed to place one additional disposal unit of
refuse, yard waste, household construction or demolition debris, or non-white good bulk item out
for collection each week by the Contractor without a sticker. The Contractor will also make pre-

disposal units in addition to the cart at the curb for collection by the Contractor with a pre-paid
disposal sticker attached to each unit.
(b) Multi-Family Dumpster Stops:
The Contractor shall provide multi-family stops serviced by dumpsters with a 64-gallon

lons = 1 cubic yard. The Contractor shall receive payment from the City for the base level of
service provided to each multi-family complex based on the number of household units served.
Example:
54 (number of household units)
x 64 gallons (base level of service per unit)
3,456 gallons or 16.8 cubic yards of service per week = Base Level Service
30
The Contractor shall provide a sufficient number of dumpsters serviced at specific collec-
tion intervals in order to meet the established base service level.

SUBJECT: Contract Amendment with Waste Management for a Change to the Yard Waste
Collection Program
PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with
information to consider approving an amendment to the City's residential solid waste contract
with Waste Management, Inc. to provide yard waste collection services in April that are fully
paid by the City,rather than utilizing the pre-paid sticker provision in the contract.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the amended agreement with Waste
Management, Inc. that incorporates yard waste collection during the month of April each year
that is fully paid by the City and is free to residents.
BACKGROUND
Since the implementation of the City's new solid waste program in November, 2002, residents
are required to purchase refuse stickers to dispose of all bagged yard waste outside of the City's
official Fall Leaf Collection Program. The revenue from the prepaid stickers goes directly to
Waste Management to help offset the cost of collecting and disposing of these additional
materials. Many residents have voiced concerns about the impact of this new requirement,
particularly during April, the first month of yard waste pickup, when citizens are cleaning up
large volumes of organic debris left over from the winter months.
As part of the 2004 Budget, Council approved providing free, unlimited yard waste collection
during the month of April in an effort to assist residents during their spring yard cleanup. Prepaid
refuse stickers will not be required to dispose of yard waste during this period. Waste
Management will be responsible for collecting and composting all yard waste that is collected as
part of this program. Information about the special yard waste collection service will be included
on utility bills, the City's website, as well as a newspaper insert scheduled to run in late March.
Rather than creating an amendatory rider to the current contract agreement for this new service
as was done in the past, the amendments have been incorporated into a single, amended
Contract Amendment With Waste Management

document that supersedes the original agreement. In addition to the requested amendment
regarding the yard waste collection, several obsolete provisions from the original agreement have
also been deleted from the amended agreement. It is attached for your review.
COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED
None.
03 FINANCIAL IMPACT
The City currently pays a monthly fee of$11.06 per household stop per month for solid waste
collection services that include refuse, recycling and limited yard waste disposal. In order to
make yard waste collection free to residents during the month of April, the City must offset the
lost revenue to Waste Management from the pre-paid stickers that will not be required. Staff
negotiated a flat rate of$56,442 with Waste Management for this additional service. This rate is
based on the volume of yard waste collected in April 2003, plus an anticipated increase in
volume of least ten percent as residents take advantage of the no cost opportunity.
A total of $3,316,770 was budgeted in the 2004 General Fund Budget, in the Public
rWorks/Refuse Services cost center, account number 010-3331-754.33-02, "Disposal Services"
for residential solid waste and recycling program services. Sufficient funds are available in this
account to cover this additional service.
*At LEGAL IMPACT
The amended contract was approved by the Legal Department.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Approve the amended contract as recommended to include free yard waste collection for
residents in April.
2. Direct Staff to make additional contract amendments, subject to approval by Waste
Management, Inc.
3. Not approve the amended contract,thereby not providing the free yard waste collection.
Respectfully submitted for Council consideration.
