Discussion and Possible Action Including Direction to Staff Regarding Solid Waste Collection for Area #2; Either Continue with Ongoing Proposal Solicitation or Direct Possible Contract Extension to Match 1-Year Contract Extension Approved by the City of Fort Bragg (Area #2 serves the unincorporated areas near Fort Bragg and Ukiah)
(Sponsors: Supervisor Gjerde and Transportation)
End
Recommended Action/Motion:
recommendation
Direct the Department of Transportation (MCDOT) to negotiate a 1-Year Contract Extension with Empire Waste Management (WM) for Area #2 Curbside Solid Waste Collection Franchise Agreement Expiring June 30, 2021 (unincorporated Coastal areas near Fort Bragg and inland areas near Ukiah); if WM is unwilling to sign a 1-Year extension then MCDOT is to proceed with the ongoing proposal solicitation.
End
Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
On December 8, 2020, the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors (BOS) was presented with a recommendation to extend the WM Area #2 Curbside Solid Waste Collection Franchise Agreement Expiring June 30, 2021 for five years or until June 30, 2026. The BOS discussed a shorter extension because five years was too long then gave direction for staff to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Franchise Agreement for Area #2.
Summary of Request:
• Franchise Area #2 Ongoing Proposal Solicitation vs Seeking One Year Contract Extension - The Franchise Agreement for Franchise Area #2 with Empire Waste Management (WM) 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 WM also expires on June 30, 2021, in recommending the Board extend the current Franchise Agreement with WM for a period of five years. At that time WM was only willing to direct negotiate new agreements with both the County and the City, with five years being the minimum term to which WM would agree. MCDoT was informed on February 3, 2021, that WM was now offering a one-year extension to the City. Supervisor Gjerde requests the Board’s direction on the options to direct negotiate a short-term extension with WM or proceed with the re-procurement process for which proposals are due March 12th. Supervisor Gjerde additionally requests Board’s direction regarding authorization to coordinate the re-procurement for County Area #2 (with separate proposal options to separate the coast and inland sub areas in Area #2) with the City if, in fact, MCDoT finds that WM is willing to also offer the County a one-year contract extension. If WM will not offer the County a one-year extension, then Supervisor Gjerde recommends proceeding with receiving the proposals that are due March 12th.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Do not provide direction to Department of Transportation and continue with RFP.
