Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
On January 25, 2011, the Board approved Board of Supervisors (BOS) Agreement Number (No.) 11-008, Caspar Transfer Station Operations and Lease between County of Mendocino and Solid Wastes of Willits, Inc. On November 15, 2011, the Board approved Amendment 1 to the Agreement (BOS Agreement No. 11-008-A1). On January 24, 2012, the Board approved Amendment 2 to the Agreement (BOS Agreement No. 11-008-A2). On January 22, 2013, the Board approved Amendment 3 to the Agreement (BOS Agreement No. 11-008-A3). On April 19, 2016, the Board adopted Resolution No. 16-047. On May 17, 2016, the Board approved Amendment 4a to the Agreement (BOS Agreement No. 11-008-A4). By Resolution 17-102 (July 18, 2017), the Board approved Amendment 4b to the Agreement (BOS Agreement No.11-008-A4). On September 25, 2018, the Board approved Amendment 6 to the Agreement (BOS Agreement No. 11-008-A6). On May 21, 2019, the Board approved Amendment 7 to the Agreement (BOS Agreement No. 11-008-A7). On May 4, 2021, the Board adopted Resolution No. 21-062, as Amendment 8 to the Agreement. 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, as Amendment 9 to the Agreement, which assigned the Caspar Transfer Station Operations Agreement and Lease to Redwood Waste Solutions, Inc. (RWS). On January 7, 2025, the Board adopted Resolution No. 25-018, as Amendment 10 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. Section 4 of BOS Agreement No. 11-007, Joint Powers Agreement Between the County of Mendocino and City of Fort Bragg for Caspar Landfill and Solid Waste Transfer Station, specifies that any amendments to the Operations Agreement (BOS Agreement No. 11-008) that pertain to the Caspar Transfer Station require prior written consent of the City of Fort Bragg. As required, on January 27, 2025, the Fort Bragg City Council passed Resolution No. 4889-2025, which recommended and concurred that the County extend the term of the BOS Agreement No. 11-008 until June 30, 2032. Accordingly, Amendment 11 to BOS Agreement No. 11-008 extends the expiration date of the Agreement from December 31, 2029, to June 30, 2032.
