Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
On August 17, 2010, the Board approved Board of Supervisors (BOS) Agreement No. 10-140, Franchise Agreement Between the County of Mendocino and Solid Wastes of Willits, Inc., for Solid Waste Refuse Collection Area No. Three (Agreement). On March 15, 2011, the Board approved the First Amendment to the Agreement (BOS Agreement No. 11-024). On January 22, 2013, the Board approved the Second Amendment to the Agreement (BOS Agreement No. 10-140-A2). On September 25, 2018, the Board approved the Third Amendment to the Agreement (BOS Agreement No. 10-140-A3). By Resolution 23-062 (March 28, 2023), the Board extended the term of the Agreement, as Amendment Number Four, from December 31, 2024, to December 31, 2029. By Resolution 23-202 (December 19, 2023), the Board approved BOS Agreement No. 23-214 / 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 Franchise Agreement for Solid Waste Franchise Area No. 3 to Redwood Waste Solutions, Inc. By Resolution 24-158 (November 5, 2024), the Board approved the Sixth Amendment to the Agreement (BOS Agreement No. 10-140-A6).
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. The Seventh Amendment to BOS Agreement No. 10-140 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.
