SUBJECT: Newport Coast Residential Refuse Collection Services
ISSUE:
Does the City Council want to begin a new Request for Proposal (RFP) process, reject
all previous proposals received, and direct staff to issue the revised RFP which is
attached to this report, and extend the current Agreement with Waste Management of
Orange County for three months- from July 1, 2007 through September 30, 2007?
RECOMMENDATION:
Begin a new Request for Proposals (RFP) process, reject all previous proposals
received, and direct staff to issue the revised RFP which is attached to this report, and
extend the current Agreement with Waste Management of Orange County for three
months- from July 1, 2007 through September 30, 2007
BACKGROUND:
On April 20, 2007, City staff received five proposals for solid waste collection services in
the Newport Coast area. The current contract with Waste Management of Orange
County is set to expire on June 30, 2007. Each proposal was evaluated based on
criteria outlined in the RFP sent to each bidder. These criteria included: the use of
AQMD approved vehicles, fully automated collection experience, ability to meet the
recycling requirement, proposed implementation plan, and proposed cost per unit.
Based on staffs analysis, a report was presented to City Council at its May 8, 2007
meeting, recommending that a ten -year agreement be awarded to CR &R, Inc. to
provide these services. Following discussion, and consideration of presentation by
Ware Disposal including some proposed terms and equipment different than set forth in
Newport Coast Residential Refuse Collection Services
June 12, 2007
Page 2
their proposal, Council voted to award the contract to Ware Disposal, Inc. based on that
firm's lowest cost per unit proposal and agreements to limit number of second
containers and to recycle 40% (May 8th staff report and Council minutes attached).
On May 22, 2007, the City Council voted to reconsider its decision concerning the
contract award to Ware Disposal, Inc. This reconsideration was due to concerns a
majority of the council members had with the process used in evaluating and awarding
the contract.
Request for Proposals (RFP)
During the discussion of the solid waste collection services in Newport Coast, Council
members made several recommendations concerning the RFP and draft contract that
was sent to prospective bidders. The recommended changes will allow for an improved
process that might avoid some of the problems that occurred during the previous
evaluation.
Staff has implemented revisions in the attached RFP. The changes include, but are not
limited to, the following:
• Clearly defined bid cut -off date with a short period of time following the cut -off
date for staff to request bid clarification. No information from bidders will be
accepted or considered following the clarification time frame and unless it is
information that is requested by City staff.
• Established negotiation period. Staff will have 10 days following Council's
selection of the best responsive bid to negotiate terms of agreement, including
defined service levels, with the exception of cost per unit.
• Clear description of the type of collection equipment required for a bid to be
considered responsive.
• Lower cap on annual CPI increases to be consistent with City's existing large
contracts.
• Reporting requirements that include customer satisfaction surveys.
• Mandatory bidders' conference to discuss the RFP with prospective bidders.
• Multi -year extensions past initial term of agreement.
• Cap on the number of extra containers the City will fund.
• Appropriate liability insurance levels reflective of industry risk.
Specific changes are highlighted in the attached RFP document.
In the event that Council rejects the previous bids and directs staff to re- submit the
revised RFP to qualified companies, staff respectfully requests that Council review and
comment on the attached RFP.

Timeframe /Process
If Council rejects all previous proposals, directs staff to re -issue the RFP, and extends
the current contract with Waste Management of Orange County, the following timeframe
would be followed:
June 13- RFP would be mailed to all solid waste companies with valid franchise
agreements on file with General Services Department,
June 19- Mandatory pre -bid conference to discuss RFP and answer any
questions.
June 29- Bids due to General Services Department.
June 29 Staff will evaluate bids and seek clarification /additional information on any
- July 11 items.
July 24- Staff will present recommended contract to City Council for approval.
Following Council approval, staff will negotiate /finalize terms of the
agreement with approved hauler.
August 14- Final Contract is approved by City Council.
October 1- New contractor starts servicing the Newport Coast area.
Waste Management of Orange County, the current provider of services in the Newport
Coast area, has agreed to a contract extension through September 30, 2007, if City
Council decides to solicit bids for this project. A letter from Waste Management is
attached.
Financial Review
The current budget for solid waste services in Newport Coast is $740,000 per year. By
rejecting all bids and extending the current agreement for three months, the potential
cost to the City is approximately $29,000 above what we would pay under a contract
with Ware Disposal.
Environmental Review
This project does not require environmental review.
Public Notice
This agenda item may be noticed according to the Ralph M. Brown Act (72 hours in

SUBJECT: Contract Award to CR &R Inc. for Newport Coast Fully Automated
Residential Refuse Collection Services
ISSUE:
Should the City award a ten -year contract agreement to CR &R, Inc. to provide fully
automated residential refuse collection services in the Newport Coast area or should the
City Council go with another provider?
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize a ten -year agreement with CR &R, Inc. through June 30, 2017 to provide fully
automated residential refuse collection services in the Newport Coast area.
DISCUSSION:
Background
The 7,700 -acre Newport Coast community is located at the eastern edge of the City and
contains private residences in six major community associations, including the Newport
Ridge, Newport Ridge North, Newport Coast, Ziani, Pelican Point, and Crystal Cove
Community Associations.
On January 1, 2002, the City annexed the Newport Coast community, and in doing so,
agreed to fund residential trash collection services for area residents. At the time of
annexation, Waste Management of Orange County provided fully automated residential
refuse collection services to the area under an exclusive franchise agreement with the
County of Orange. Pursuant to State law (Public Resources Code Section 49520), the
City was required to continue service with the exclusive franchisee for a minimum of five
Award Contract for Newport Coast Fully Automated
Residential Refuse Collection Services

Page 2
years, and Waste Management has continued to provide this service throughout this
period.
ProlectDescription/Spope of Services
The current contract for residential refuse collection services expires on June 30, 2007.
The scope of work in the proposed contract includes providing collection services to
approximately 4,000 residences in the Newport Coast area of the City. It is projected
that the Newport Coast area will total approximately 5,200 residences at build out The
area served in this agreement includes neighborhoods along Newport Coast Drive from
east Coast Highway to the 73 Freeway in the eastern section of the City. Bin service in
the Newport Coast area will not be included with this agreement.
To ensure that a high standard of service is maintained, specifications for the collection
of materials are detailed in the request for proposal and the proposed agreement.
These specifications include: automated container types and sizes, minimum waste
collection levels, collection days and times, waste disposal and recycling requirements,
insurance requirements, and equipment requirements. Service levels will be monitored
by City staff who will also review the contractor's required reports of collection and
disposal activities.
The term of the proposed contract is for ten years due to the large commitment of
personnel and equipment required to provide initial service. An annual CPI increase is
included after the 1s' year of service. Experience has proven that a multi -year contract
is the most cost- effective means to have solid waste collection services performed for
both the City and the contractor.
Bid Process and Analvsis
A Request for Proposals (RFP) was mailed to a list of the City's franchised commercial
solid waste haulers at the beginning of April. Since this time, staff has received
inquiries and provided clarification on items included in the RFP.
Proposals were due to the City by Friday, April 20th at 12 pm. Prior to this deadline,
the City received 5 bids for solid waste collection services from the following solid waste
haulers:
• CR &R Inc.
• Rainbow Disposal
• Ware Disposal
Waste Management of Orange County
• Waste Resources/Roberfs Waste

Evaluation Criteria
Proposals submitted to the City were reviewed by City staff from General Services, the
City Attorney's Office, and the City Manager's Office. As indicated in Section 3 of the
RFP sent to bidders, fee schedules and costs are not the sole criteria for award of this
agreement. Instead, evaluation criteria for the proposals Included several categories.
Based on these criteria, staff compiled the following information from each bidder:
AQMD Approved Vehicles
This section was used to evaluate, the requirement that the bidder provide collection
services using alternative fueled vehicles approved by the South Coast Air Quality
Management District for fully automated refuse collection services.
CR &R
Currently has over 70 AQMD approved alternative fueled vehicles in its fleet. No
additional trucks will be needed to meet the terms of the agreement. In its bid proposal,
CR &R proposed to use AQMD approved alternative fueled vehicles in service collection
for Newport Coast.
Rainbow Disposal
Currently has 10 AQMD approved alternative fueled vehicles in its fleet. In addition, this
hauler is in the process of procuring an additional 14 alternative fueled vehicles to add
to its fleet. In its bid proposal, Rainbow Disposal proposed to use AQMD approved
alternative fueled vehicles in service collection for Newport Coast.
Ware Disposal
Currently has no AQMD approved alternative fueled vehicles in its fleet. In its bid
proposal, Ware Disposal proposed to use a diesel fueled vehicle in service collection for
Newport Coast. Diesel fuel does not satisfy requirements for an alternative fueled
vehicle per SCAQMD Rule 1193. In subsequent communications with City staff after
the close of bids on April 20, Ware Disposal changed their proposal to include the use
of alternative fueled vehicles for the term of the agreement. Ware Disposal now
proposes to purchase AQMD approved alternative fuel vehicles to satisfy the proposal
requirement.
Waste Management
Currently has 48 AQMD approved alternative fueled vehicles in Its fleet. No additional
trucks will be needed to meet the terms of the agreement. In its bid proposal, Waste
Management proposed to use AQMD approved alternative fueled vehicles in service
collection for Newport Coast.

Waste Resources /Robert's Waste
Currently has no AQMD approved alternative fueled vehicles in its fleet. In its bid
proposal, Waste Resources/Roberts Waste proposed to use a bio- dieset fueled vehicle
in service collection for Newport Coast. Bio- diesel does not satisfy requirements for an
alternative fueled vehicle per SCAQMD Rule 1193. In subsequent communications with
City staff after the close of bids on April 20, Waste Resources/Robert's Waste indicated
that they would be willing to acquire alternative fueled vehicles for the term of the
agreement to satisfy the proposal requirement.

Margarita. In addition, CR &R currently has over 15,000 containers in stock that will be
available for Newport Coast residents prior to the July 1 start date.
Rainbow Disposal

Ware Disposal
Hauler has successfully managed a service changeover between solid waste providers
in the City of Laguna Woods. In addition, Ware Disposal proposes to order
approximately 8,000 containers for Newport Coast residents prior to the July 1 start
date.
Waste Management
Hauler is the current service provider for Newport Coast; therefore, no implementation
plan or new containers would be necessary.
Waste Resources /Robert's Waste
Hauler did not provide evidence of a service changeover between solid waste providers.
In addition, Waste Resources/RoberCs Waste proposes to order approximately 8,000
containers for Newport Coast residents prior to the July 1 start date.
A Last Factor for Consideration
City staff has concerns that companies which have not been providing fully automated
.collection services do not have the level of experience with automated vehicles needed
to match the current level of service being provided. The ability to provide the collection
services as "quietly" and as safely as possible, in terms of potential property damage, is
a factor for consideration. Driver inexperience with using automated containers and the
vehicles themselves have the potential to create problems with providing a seamless
transition.

Financial Review /Financial Availability
Funding for this agreement was included in the Fiscal Year 2007 -08 budget. The
current cost for Newport Coast collection services, based on the current monthly fee of
$15.03 per home, Is $739,536. Based on the bid from CR &R Disposal of $13.57 per
home, staff.estimates that the total cost for collection services will be $667,236. This
cost represents a savings of $72,300 next fiscal year and over $700,000 during the life
of the agreement.

Based on the evaluation of bids using the criteria above, City staff believes the proposal
from CR &R Inc. will provide the best value for the City and the residents of Newport
Coast In terms of a combination of service quality and cost.
CR &R has provided solid waste collection and material recovery services in Orange,
Los Angeles, San Bemardino, San Diego, and Riverside Counties for approximately 40
years. Through a subsidiary, CR &R currently provides fully automated solid waste and
recycling collection services to several nearby cities, including Costa Mesa, Allso Viejo,
Dana Point, San Clemente, San Juan Capistrano, and Laguna Niguel, among others.
However, if the City Council believes the cost of the service provided is the most
important factor in selecting the waste contractor, the lowest cost provider would be
Ware Disposal.

S23. CONTRACT AWARD TO CR &R INC. FOR NEWPORT COAST FULLY AUTOMATED
RESIDENTIAL REFUSE COLLECTION SERVICES [381100 - 2007].
Staff Report
General Services Director Mark Harmon gave a PowerPoint presentation and provided
information regarding the Request for Proposals for maintaining the.current level of service.
Staffs recommendation is to contract with CR &R to provide fully automated collection-
General Services Director Harmon responded to Council Member Henn that the contract to
provide seven (7) days notice of termination to a waste hauler could put the City in disarray
unless there was another waste hauler in the wings.
City Attorney Clauson responded to Council Member Curry that the recommendation was for
the waste hauler to provide a Performance Bond and cost basis analysis and that the Council
would have the ability to deal with lack of performance. General Services Director Harmon felt
it would be risky to award a contract based on low cost only.
Council Member Henn said that all of the trucks were to be fully automated. Implicitly Ware is
representing that they will have another fully automated truck and in fact will have two fully
automated trucks.
Mayor Pro Tem Selich asked why the RFP was set up to provide an additional schedule for
additional containers and wondered if the wide spread in cost was because it was an open ended
contract. He also asked why would the City not just ask for a single bid for all services. General
Services Director Harmon explained that there is a cost for additional containers throughout
the industry and a percentage would tend to limit the number of additional containers.
Council Member Gardner asked why there would be a limit of 30% set when the recycling
requirement is 50 %. General Services Director Harmon responded that currently the City is
diverting about 57 %. A lot of recycling comes from commercial and construction waste and it is
more difficult to attain a high diversion rate on residential waste.
Council Member Henn asked if it was typical to include a 13% CPI. City Attorney Clauson said
that over the years the Council has placed a percentage on the CPI adjustment. Council
Member Henn believed there should be 4% ceiling on all CPIs.
David Fahrion, President, Solid Waste Division, CR &R talked about his company�s services and
saw this as an opportunity to expand the company's services. He stated that his company
serves most of the communities in Southern California and 200,000 residences with fully
automated trucks.
Patrick Munoz, a Newport Beach resident speaking on behalf of Ware Disposal, pointed out
that Ware Disposal offered favorable options for consideration - price, vehicles, experience and
recycling. Other areas of concern to the Council should include yearly increases and additional
equipment charges. Mr. Munoz explained to Mayor Rosansky that Ware would agree to a
provision to limit the supply of additional containers to encourage more recycling which would
result in a dramatic savings over time. Ware has always agreed to provide fully automated
AQMD compliant vehicles. Ware has one vehicle and provided the City with copies of invoices
for two additional compliant vehicles that it will receive in the near future. He showed
examples and explained the difference between fully automated and semi- automated vehicles.
Mr. Munoz further explained that the third fully automated AQMD compliant vehicle is due to
arrive in September. It is a smaller vehicle that can more easily traverse the residential routes.
Recycling is an important issue that was not adequately addressed in the RFP. Ware's facility
in Santa Ana will provide the same MERF benefits with a diversion percentage of 43.

City Council Regular Meeting
Page 2 of 3
Mayor Pro Tem Selich asked if Ware were awarded a contract would it guarantee a 43%
diversion rate.
Council Member Webb said he was confused because the proposal was supposed to have hated
the equipment. Mr. Munoz said that the intent of Ware's proposal was always to provide
AQMD compliant trucks.
Council Member Henn asked how Ware intended to maintain the trucks in order to keep them
operational. Mr. Munoz responded that Ware has mechanics that are capable of working on
these trucks with the exception of the fuel system and the trucks will be serviced under
warranty as it relates to the fuel system.
Mayor Pro Tem Selich said when he first looked at the proposal he saw a base rate that was
substantially lower than that of other bidders. He asked what assurance Ware would give that
they would not request a rate increase in a year or two. Mr. Munoz stated that Ware would not
ask the City for an increase. The rate proposed is not an abnormally low rate and it is a fair
rate for the work proposed.
Council Member Gardner liked the fact that the homeowner would be given an extra recycling
container if needed. Mr. Munoz stated that in his professional experience he believed the
number proposed by staff was high.
Mayor Rosansky stated that the CC &R contract does not provide for additional recycling bins.
General Services Manager Harmon said to his knowledge the extra recycling container was not
free with CC &R, City Attorney Clausen explained to Mayor Rosansky that this was not a "low
bid" situation but a contract negotiation and often staff can go back and negotiate certain
points. The decision the Council needs to make should be based on the response to proposal
and it would be unfair to not allow other bidders to meet the requirements. If the Council
wanted to change the terms of the RFP it should go back out for bid again. City Attorney
Clausen suggested the Council ask CC &R whether it could guarantee 43% diversion since
CC&R is the recommended hauler.
Council Member Curry asked if the Council could select a carrier and negotiate with that
carrier. City Attorney Clausen responded that the Council would need to give the selected
carrier an opportunity to renegotiate the contract with the selected bidder.
Steven Sebrey, Nixon Peabody LLP, attorney representing CR&R said that this is a contract
proposal. What is happening here is that CC &R in a timely fashion met the City s RFP
requirements and staff is recommending that the Council accept staff recommendation.
Council Member Henn said he was very uncomfortable negotiating on the fly and would rather
make a decision based on the proposals.
Jay Ware, General Manager, Ware Disposal, reiterated Mr. Munoea statements and noted that
the Ware family and business reside in Newport Beach and that the company has drivers and
vehicles that can immediately step in to provide service to Newport Beach. The proposal stands
and if there is a need to change the diversion rate for recycling, Ware would agree to 43% or
provide free containers.
Ally. Ware responded to Mayor Rosansky that within the RFP there was no container amount
and he felt 141 containers was too much. If someone needs an additional container they need to
know how to recycle and Ware is committed to working with the City to teach residents how to
recycle.
Motion by Council Member Curry to authorize a ten -year agreement with Ware Disposal
through June 30, 2017 to provide fully automated residential refuse collection services in the
Newport Coast area with additions and changes to the contract to include the following: the

reports; provide vehicle citation reports to the City Council; and, provide liability insurance to

County with a population of 85,000 residents. The community is home to a 21
square mile harbor area and over 23 miles of ocean beach. The City uses a mix
of services to perform residential and commercial solid waste collection
throughout the community. Commercial solid waste collection is performed
through a non - exclusive system with approximately 25 trash haulers offering
fixed and temporary route service to customers. 85% of residential solid waste
collection is performed by City staff, with the remainder being managed by
private solid waste hauler firms through exclusive franchise agreement.
The 7,700 -acre Newport Coast community is located at the eastern edge of the
City and contains private residences in six major community associations,
including, the Newport Ridge Community Association, Newport Ridge North
Community Association, Newport Coast Community Association, Ziani
Community Association, Pelican Point Community Association, and Crystal Cove
Community Association.
In January 1, 2002, the City annexed the Newport Coast community, and in
doing so, agreed to assume trash collection services for area residents.
Currently there are approximately 3,478 homes (as of February 2007) in the
Newport Coast area of the City. Since the area is still in development, it is
expected that several hundred homes will be added over the next 5 years. As
new homes are built, they will also require fully automated residential trash
collection services. Bin service in the Newport Coast area will not be included
with this agreement.
Current service areas include neighborhoods along Newport Coast Drive from
Coast Highway East to the 73 freeway in the eastern section of the City.
