Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:

By Resolution Number (No.) 04-074 (May 11, 2004) the Board approved Board of Supervisors (BOS) Agreement No. 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 No. 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) and reissue with an Agreement start date of July 1, 2022.  On April 20, 2021, the Board approved Amendment No. 15 to BOS Agreement No. 04-049, extending the expiration date from June 30, 2021 to June 30, 2022.                      

 

Summary of Request

Mendocino County Department of Transportation (MCDoT) issued, in conjunction with the City of Fort Bragg, a Request for Proposals for residential and commercial garbage, recyclable material and organic waste collection for County Solid Waste Franchise Area No. Two on June 15, 2021, with a due date of July 30, 2021 (later amended to August 3, 2021).  MCDoT received three proposals from Waste Management Collection and Recycling, Inc., Solid Wastes of Willits, Inc., and C&S Waste Solutions of California, Inc. (C&S) After a thorough analysis of all proposals, including technical proposals, qualifications, and proposed cost rates, as well as follow up interviews, the evaluation committee unanimously chose C&S as their recommended vendor.  The City of Fort Bragg evaluation committee also chose C&S as their recommended vendor for solid waste collection services within the city limits.  MCDoT staff recommends and requests authorization from the Board to enter into contract negotiations with C&S and return at a later date with a draft Franchise Agreement for the Board’s review and approval.      

 

Alternative Action/Motion:

Do not authorize staff to enter into contract negotiations with C&S Waste Solutions of California, Inc., and give further direction to staff.                     

 

How Does This Item Support the General Plan? Resulting Franchise Agreement will facilitate waste diversion in the County, including education and enforcement mechanisms to increase diversion rates.
