Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
On August 17, 2010, the Board approved Board of Supervisors (BOS) Agreement Number (No.) 10-138, Transfer Station Operations and Lease between County of Mendocino and Solid Wastes of Willits, Inc. On March 15, 2011, the Board approved Amendment 1 to the Agreement (BOS Agreement No. 11-023). On November 8, 2011, the Board approved Amendment 2 to the Agreement (BOS Agreement no. 10-138-A2). On January 22, 2013, the Board approved Amendment 3a to the Agreement (BOS Agreement No. 10-138-A3). On January 7, 2014, the Board approved Amendment 3b to the Agreement (BOS Agreement No. 10-138-A3). On May 17, 2016, the Board approved Amendment 4 to the Agreement (BOS Agreement No. 10-138-A4). On September 25, 2018, the Board approved Amendment 5 to the Agreement (BOS Agreement No. 10-138-A5). By Resolution No. 23-202 (December 19, 2023), the Board approved BOS Agreement No. 23-214 / Department of Transportation (DOT) Agreement No. 230040, Assignment and Assumption Agreement Among Solid Wastes of Willits, Inc., Redwood Waste Solutions, Inc., and County of Mendocino, which assigned the Transfer Station Operations Agreement and Lease to Redwood Waste Solutions, Inc. (RWS). On February 27, 2024, the Board adopted Resolution No. 24-032, as Amendment 7 to the Agreement.
Summary of Request:
Redwood Waste Solutions (RWS) provides solid waste collection services to all areas of the County, including Solid Waste Franchise Areas 1, 2, 3 and 4, and operates all solid waste transfer stations located within the County. Currently, the expiration dates of the agreements for the solid waste collection services and transfer station operation do not align, rendering future bidding of solid waste services very burdensome and fragmented. DOT staff believes it is in the best interest of the County to extend the expiration dates of all the agreements to align with the furthest date of June 30, 2032, to allow for a streamlined bidding process and likely provide for more competitive bids in the future. RWS is willing to continue providing all services under the agreements until that time. Amendment 8 to BOS Agreement No. 10-138 extends the expiration date of the Agreement from December 31, 2029, to June 30, 2032.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Do not approve amendment and provide direction to staff.
