Refuse and Recycling Proposals: Acceptance of Proposals and Authorizing Award of Contract Kevin Hansen, Public Works Director reported Request for Proposals were sent out to eight contractors, five proposals were received back. The two lowest bids came from Advanced Disposal Services and Waste Management. Jesse Davies, Public Works Office Assistant indicated the main goal of the city's solid waste management program is to reduce trash disposal, especially since the cost will increase to $75 /ton for trash disposal; while there is no cost for recycling. Davies gave an overview of the trends since 2009, and outlined the MPCA's recycling Best Management practices, adopted in April 2017. Comparisons with the cities of Robbinsdale and White Bear Lake were displayed. Columbia Heights offers more services and is priced less than both cities. City staff recommends that Waste Management be awarded the contract and further recommends adding services for curbside bulk recycling and organics collection for the following reasons: 1. Waste Management scored better on the reference surveys and staff evaluation. 2. Waste Management has the better price. 3. Because of the excellent bids we received, the City can offer bulk and organics recycling to the suite of refuse services and still pay 1% less in total than 2017 hauling and disposal costs. City Council Minutes October 23, 2017 Page S of 13 4. Trash disposal is projected to be at a rate of at least $75 /ton in 2018. With the City disposing of 7,000 tons last year equating to over $500,000 annually just for disposal, the City saves money by recycling because it is still $0 /ton for recycling material disposition. The MPCA states that 30 -40% of trash is organic, so if one -third of 7,000 tons was recycled through organics, the City would save at least $175,000 /year. 5. Currently bulk is disposed of in the trash at $75 /ton. If we recycle it, we can use SCORE (recycling grant) to help pay for handling and receive tonnage credit for reporting. Plus some of the items can be donated which is free disposal. 6. The City receives $95,000 /year from SCORE which helps to subsidize recycling operations. Staff has requested Anoka County provide an additional $30,000 /year for our Full Service Curbside Recycling operations, plus an additional $20,000 to subsidize 2018 organic startup costs. Waste Management also proposes an 80% rebate for curbside recyclables which could mean a financial return for the city when the commodity markets go up. Davies reported staff is not recommend any changes to the rate established in Resolution 2015 -98, additionally the price of the yard waste /organics cart will be reduced to $2.50 /month. Director Hansen stated staff recommends entering into a five year contract with Waste Management, and accepting the alternates for organic and bulk recycling. Councilmember Williams questioned how long the City has had organized collection. Hansen indicated it has been over 30 years. The MPCA has included organized collection as a best practice. Mayor Schmitt asked how the Saturday morning organics recycling will be affected. Davies indicated the organics drop -off will be closed once residents are equipped to participate in curbside organic recycling. All other services will remain at the recycling center. Dewayne Morrell -4212 Reservoir Blvd. questioned why the yard waste carts cannot be purchased by the homeowners. Director Hansen stated for safety, maintenance and consistency, the city recommends they continue to manage the carts. Motion by Councilmember Buesgens seconded by Councilmember Williams to accept the proposals for Refuse, Recycling and Yard Waste Services from Waste Management of Minnesota, based upon their low, qualified, responsible bid and, furthermore, direct staff to prepare a 5 -year contract for the base bid, and accept alternate for organics and for bulk recycling and authorize the Mayor and City Manager for the same. All Ayes, Motion carried. B. Bid Considerations C. New Business and Reports 10.
