Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
By Resolution Number (No.) 04-074 (May 11, 2004) the Board approved Board of Supervisors (BOS) Agreement 04-049, Franchise Agreement between the County of Mendocino and USA Waste of California, Inc., dba Empire Waste Management (EWM) for Solid Waste Collection Area Number Two. From time to time, the Board of Supervisors has authorized amendments to the Agreement to adapt to changing conditions and new information and to make rate adjustments per the terms of the Agreement. On August 23, 2011, the Board approved Amendment No. 11 to BOS Agreement No. 04-049, extending the expiration date from June 30, 2011 to June 30, 2021. On March 9, 2021, the Board gave direction to staff to negotiate a one-year extension to the Franchise Agreement with EWM and, if successful, to cancel the ongoing Request for Proposals (RFP).
Summary of Request:
The Franchise Agreement with EWM for Solid Waste Collection Area No. 2 will expire on June 30, 2021. Up until December 8, 2020, the Department of Transportation (MCDoT), was working in collaboration with the City of Fort Bragg (City), whose Agreement with EWM also expires on June 30, 2021, in recommending the Board extend the current Franchise Agreement with EWM for a period of five years. At that time, EWM was only willing to direct negotiate new agreements with both the County and the City with minimum terms of five years. On December 8, 2020, the Board directed staff to initiate a RFP for solid waste collection services beginning July 1, 2021. MCDoT was informed on February 3, 2021, that EWM was now offering a one-year extension to the City. On March 9, 2021, the Board gave direction to staff to negotiate a one-year extension to the Franchise Agreement with EWM and, if successful, to cancel the ongoing RFP. Therefore, MCDoT recommends approval of Amendment No. 15 to the Franchise Agreement, which extends the termination date of the Agreement from June 30, 2021 to June 30, 2022.
Alternative Action/Motion:
