Page 1 of 5 STAFF REPORT CITY COUNCIL DATE: June 16, 2020 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers FROM: Linda Smith, City Manager SUBJECT: Sixth Amendment to the Collection Service Agreement Between the City of Dublin and Amador Valley Industries, LLC Prepared by: Jay Baksa, Assistant Administrative Services Director EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The City Council will consider approval of a Sixth Amendment to the Collection Service Agreement between the City of Dublin and Amador Valley Industries, LLC. The amendment will extend the term for 15 years, revise how the annual rate adjustments are calculated and create new programs to improve the local diversion rate. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Resolution Approving a Sixth Amendment to the Collection Service Agreement Between the City of Dublin and Amador Valley Industries, LLC. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Incorporation of the terms of the amendment to the agreement will result in a 17.5% rate increase in the first year. The overall annual rate adjustment for Fiscal Year 2020-21 will be 21.83% after adjustments for increases to the Consumer Price Index and costs such as labor and waste disposal are factored into the final adjustment. DESCRIPTION: Background On December 6, 2004, the City Council approved a Collection Services Agreement with Amador Valley Industries, LLC (AVI) for the collection and disposal of solid waste in the City of Dublin. The original contract term was seven years, expiring June 30, 2012. Page 2 of 5 Since then, five amendments to the agreement have been executed to include, among other things, collection of recyclable materials produced by commercial units, provision of large item collection services, adjustments to the compensation model and franchise payments, and collection of an annual community benefit payment for small business assistance. On June 1, 2010, the City Council extended the term of the agreement for an additional eight years, terminating on June 30, 2020. The original agreement and first five amendments are included as Attachment 4. At the meeting of August 21, 2018, the City Council discussed a request by AVI to begin negotiations with the City to extend the agreement again in order to make necessary investments in new equipment over the next several years. The City Council dire cted Staff to bring back a review of the existing contract arrangement, along with a brief discussion of potential focus areas of contract negotiations. That item was brought back to the City Council on November 8, 2018, highlighting the main components th at would be included in a contract extension, including capital equipment replacement, operational cost increases, and incorporation of future local and state requirements. The City Council then directed Staff to proceed with negotiations on a contract ext ension. At the April 21, 2020, meeting Staff presented the terms of the final negotiation to solicit feedback in preparation for bringing the amended agreement to the City Council for approval in June of 2020. Sixth Amendment to the Agreement The City’s objective for the Sixth Amendment to the Collection Services Agreement (Amendment) was to continue to keep customer rates low while engaging in a long -term agreement that considers current and future challenges facing the refuse and recycling industry. This was accomplished by resetting AVI’s baseline compensation and creating a new rate model to calculate the annual rate adjustment. In addition, new and enhanced programs were added to help the City increase diversion rates. The New Rate Model As originally structured, the Agreement with AVI provided a lump sum revenue figure. The initial rates were established to generate that lump sum revenue. Thereafter, a procedure was established in which a revised compensation figure would be calculated annually, and the rates adjusted accordingly, to generate the calculated amount. While this approach did work for a time, it became problematic in that it assumes long -term predictability in how a hauler operates and disposes of material. However, over the past few years, recycling markets have become increasingly volatile and unpredictable, and the costs to dispose of certain materials have increased. For example, in 2017, local disposal sites stopped paying for recycling as the commodities market dwindled, leading AVI to absorbing large disposal costs with no offsetting revenue. This subsequently led to their request for an extraordinary rate adjustment, which was approved by the City Council in June 2019. In addition to market volatility, there have been state and lo cal legislative changes in recent years related to the handling of certain recyclable material and compostable waste, and programs that support diversion efforts. In short, locking AVI into a 15 -year contract that incorporates assumptions about uncontrollable and volatile factors would result in a rate increase more than double the amount that Staff and AVI are now Page 3 of 5 projecting with a new model. To factor in this new environment in which haulers operate, a new model approach was agreed to which is a hybrid of annual rate adjustments, component cost separation, and regular financial reviews. The important distinction with the hybrid model is that the cost elements in the service agreement are more separated rather than blended, and while the baseline amounts would continue to be adjusted annually, a third-party administrator would review costs and revenues every three years to confirm reasonableness and to ensure that an industry standard level of operating margin is being maintained by AVI. This type of contact is now becoming the predominate form used in the industry, due to the previously discussed issues. Setting a New Baseline Reviewing the baseline compensation involved Staff and AVI analyzing the actual costs of providing services and comparing the costs to the revenue generated by the rates for the last two years. Furthermore, Staff and AVI reviewed where cost increases were occurring and discussed why the rate model was not adequately generating the required revenue for those expenses. It became appare nt that over the course of the agreement, as previously mentioned, the environment in which haulers operate had evolved in ways not controllable by agencies. Therefore, it became important to create a rate structure that provided the City and AVI the flexibility to adapt to these changes. Next, Staff and AVI realigned expenses into the appropriate cost elements and, when appropriate, created new cost elements. Costs of capital equipment replacement, operational cost increases, additional program costs, and the incorporation of future local and state requirements were calculated and applied to the baseline compensation. It should be noted that the creation of new elements shifts costs that would have otherwise been factored into other elements. Original Cost Elements vs. Updated Cost Elements Original Cost Elements Updated Cost Elements Collection Element Collection Element Commercial Recycling Element Commercial Recycling Element Disposal Element Disposal Element Container Element Container Element Fee Element Fee Element (NEW) Recycling Disposal Element (NEW) Organics Disposal Element (NEW) Vehicle and Admin Asset Element The following is a brief summary of the new cost elements and programs included in the Amendment. New Cost Components 1. Recycling Disposal and Organics Disposal Elements - While the cost to dispose of recycling was included in the FY 2019-20 rates, it was not included as its own element but as part of an extraordinary rate adjustment. The Amendment will Page 4 of 5 take the same methodology used to calculate the extraordinary rate adjustment recycling costs and will include these costs as their own element along with organics disposal costs. Costs will be reviewed annually and adjusted using the rate paid by AVI, multiplied by the total tonnage from the prior calendar year. This proposed methodology will protect the Dublin rate payers should the recycling markets rebound and AVI is able to sell their goods once again. If this does occur, Dublin customers will receive a credit toward their rates. 2. Fleet/Asset Replacement Element - The largest single cost associated with the contract extension is the replacement of two-thirds of AVI’s fleet in the first year. The amounts contained in the Vehicle and Admin Asset Element are estimates. These costs will be tracked as a separate element and once the assets have been purchased the amount will be reconciled and adjusted. This element will not be adjusted annually as part of the annual rate adjustment. AVI will continue to utilize natural gas vehicles with their upcoming replacements, but the contract includes language relating to the future consideration of alternative fuel vehicles. After receiving feedback at the April 21, 2020 City Council meeting, Staff discussed the use of alternative fuel vehicles, such as bio-diesel, with AVI, but the research indicates that the natural gas vehicles currently being used are still the most cost effective and environmentally friendly vehicles available. Hybrid and electric vehicles were also thoroughly researched for the upcoming vehicle replacement cycle but both the City and AVI determined that, given the current technology and functional use of these vehicles, it does not yet make operational or economic sense to pursue them. New Programs The mandates being implemented by the County and the State include the requirement to improve the local diversion rate, or the amount of waste that is diverted from garbage landfills. The proposed Amendment with AVI will increase the minimum diversion requirement from the current 50% to 75% within five years. To help with this effort, the following new/expanded programs have been included: 1. Expanded Large Item Pick-Up - This will focus on outreach and assistance to Multi-Family Dwellings that may be underutilizing the service. 2. Quarterly Residential Textile Collection - Under this program, AVI will work with charities and local companies to recycle and re-use textiles. 3. Enclosure Clean-Up - This will focus on the cleaning of overflowing bins and working with customers to proactively address the issue. 4. Collection of Illegally Dumped Material in the City Right-A-Way - This will focus on the prompt identification and removal of material illegally dumped on City property. Attachment 3 presents a summary of all changes that were made as part of the Amendment. Page 5 of 5 Mandatory Recycling Ordinance (MRO) Update On June 19, 2019, the City Council approved opting into Alameda County Waste Management Authority’s MRO Phase II, which places requirements on businesses and multi-family property owners regarding the handling of certain recyclable material and compostable waste. Participation in the MRO gives City staff, Dublin businesses, and AVI time to expand waste diversion programs before additional state mandates are enacted. As the program continues to expand, additional AVI resources have become necessary, including another hauler and increased staff time. These costs have been incorporated into the Amendment. The costs associated with the MRO will be tracked separately and adjusted as necessary every three years. STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE: None. NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH: None. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

ATTACHMENT 3 Summary of Changes to AVI Collection Service Agreement FINANCIAL CHANGES Extend the term of the agreement for 15 years. Updated Year 1 Baseline Compensation to account for increases in operational costs, capital equipment replacement and new or expended programs, including the need for additional administrative staff. New Hybrid Rate Model was created, in which annual rate adjustments would continue to be made, but regular financial reviews will also be conducted, by a third-party administrator. The third-party administrator will review costs and revenues every three years to confirm reasonableness and to ensure that an industry standard level of operating margin is being maintained by AVI. Administrative compensation costs are capped at $840,000. The cost will be included in the Collection Element and will not be increased by the annual rate adjustment. Three new elements are being created to help separate costs, rather then blended, which the rate model has historically done. Recycling Element will capture the cost to dispose of recycling materials, by taking the prior calendar years tonnage and multiplying that amount by the cost per ton. If the recycling market rebounds and AVI is able to sell their goods, Dublin customers will receive a credit toward their rates. The costs associated with processing recyclables (hauling, bailing etc.) will continue to be reported in the collection element. Organics Elements will capture the cost to dispose of organic materials, by taking the prior calendar years tonnage and multiplying that amount by the cost per ton. The costs associated with organics processing costs (hauling, grinding, floor processing. loading, etc.) will continue to be reported within the Collection Element. Vehicle and Admin Asset Element is being created to track the costs of vehicle and Admin Asset replacements. The amounts contained in the Vehicle and Admin Asset Replacement Element are estimates. Once the assets have been purchased the amount will be reconciled and adjusted. This element will not be adjusted annually as part of the annual rate adjustment. Commercial Recycling Element will continue to be calculated as prescribed in the Agreement, but a credit of $607,266 will be applied to the final compensation calculation each year. PROGRAM/SERVICE CHANGES Enclosure Clean-Up - This will focus on the cleaning of overflowing bins and working with customers to proactively address the issue. Collection of Illegally Dumped Material in the City Right-of-Way - This will focus on the prompt identification and removal of material illegally dumped on City property. Quarterly Residential Textile Collection - Under this program, AVI will work with charities and local companies to recycle and re-use textiles. ATTACHMENT 3 Expanded Large Item Pick-Up - This will focus on outreach and assistance to Multi-Family Dwellings that may be underutilizing the service. Saturday Commercial Organic Collection Services will be available for Commercial Service Units that have a minimum of three (3) service days during the week (Monday through Friday). On June 19, 2019, The City Council opted into participating in the Alameda County Waste Management Authority’s Mandatory Recycling Ordinance Phase II (MRO). As the program continues to expand, additional AVI resources have become necessary, including another hauler and increased staff time. These costs are now being incorporated into the agreement extension. The costs associated with the MRO will be tracked separately and adjusted as necessary every three years. Increase diversion within 5 years from 50% to: • Non Construction & Debris(C&D) – 75% • C&D Portland Cement – 90% • Remaining C&D except as otherwise provided in the City Municipal Code where AVI Collects all material – 75% AVI and the City will continue to look into the feasibility of alternate fuel vehicles, such as hybrid or electric, when purchasing new vehicles. AVI will add an additional recycling coordinator to help implement SB 1383. AVI’s public outreach plan will be created in consultation with the City, at the expense of the Contractor. Specifically, Contractor will promote the Large Item Pick-up program. MINOR ITEMS/CLEAN-UP LANGAUGE Required metal bins and equipment will be washed in a manner that does not allow discharge of wash water into the storm drain system. Required AVI to dedicate a half time-contract manager. Added an Uncontrollable Circumstance(s) clause that excuses the contractor from performance of certain obligations when events outside the control of the contractor are occurring. Added language that requires the City and AVI to meet and confer when any law is enacted that will have a significant impact on Collection Services. Added a clause that allows the City to do performance reviews. Updated assignment language. Updated/Added Definitions. COLLECTION SERVICE AGREEMENT How 80 Whore to Rocyclo I.

The Collection 900 Compensation Element adjustment consists of two (2) factors, the Refuse Rate 901 Adjustment (RRI) factor and the annual growth (AG) factor. 902 5.05.1.1 RRI Factor. The RRI factor shall be the lesser of five 903 percent (5%) or the sum of the weighted percentage change in the Annual Average of 904 each RRI index number between the second (20d) preceding calendar year and the 905 preceding calendar year, as contained in the most recent release of the source 906 documents listed in Exhibit 2, ("Compensation Model") which is attached to and included 907 in this Agreement. Therefore, the first RRI factor will be based on the percentage 908 change between the Annual Average of the RRI indices for the year ended December 909 31, 2004 (the second (2nd) preceding calendar year) and the Annual Average of the RRI 910 indices for the year ended December 31,2005, (the preceding calendar year). The RRI 911 factor shall be calculated using the Compensation Model included in Exhibit 2. 912 5.05.1.2 Annual Growth Factor. The AG factor for each 913 compensation adjustment shall be the percentage change in the beginning Calculated 914 Revenue and the ending Calculated Revenue. 915 5.05,1.3 Initial Calculation. Calculated Revenue shall be the sum 916 of the product of the Collection Service event census data multiplied by the appropriate 917 Service rate. For purposes of determining the AG factor for the initial compensation 918 adjustment of July 1, 2006, beginning Calculated Revenue shall be calculated using the 919 Collection Service census data as shown on Exhibit 2 and rates as of July 1, 2005 and 920 ending Calculated Revenue shall be calculated using the Collection Service census data 921 as of December 31,2005 and the rates as of July 1, 2005. 922 5.05.1.4 Subsequent Calculations. Calculated Revenue shall be 923 the sum of the product of the Collection Service census data multiplied by the 924 appropriate Service rate. For purpose of determining the AG factor for all subsequent 925 compensation adjustment, beginning Calculated Revenue shall be calculated using the 926 Collection Service census data as of the preceding January 1 s' and rates as of the 927 preceding July 1" and ending Calculated Revenue shall be calculated using the 928 Collection Service census data as of the preceding December 31st and the rates as of 929 the preceding July 1 "'. Therefore to determine the AG factor for the July 1, 2007 930 compensation adjustment, beginning Calculated Revenue shall be calculated using the 931 Collection Service census data as of January 1, 2006 and rates as of July 1, 2006 and 932 ending Calculated Revenue shall be calculated using the Collection Service census data 933 as of December 31, 2006 and the rates as of July 1, 2006. 934 5.05.1.5 Collection Compensation Element Adiustment. The 935 annual Collection Compensation Element adjustment shall be calculated by multiplying T~ J\J)rRÞ~'" Page 27 Collection Service Agreement 936 the Collection Compensation Element times (one (1) plus the AG Factor} and multiplying 937 the result, (the Collection Compensation Element adjusted for growth) times {one (1) 938 plus the RRI factor}, as shown in Exhibit 2. 939 5.05.2 Adiustments to Disposal Compensation Element The Disposal 940 Compensation Element adjustment consists of two (2) factors; the approved tip fee, 941 (ATF), factor and annual tonnage, (AT), factor. 942 5.05.2.1 Approved Tip Fee Factor. The ATF factor shall be the 943 percentage change in the approved tip fee of the Disposal Contractor in effect during the 944 first (1") month of the then current Agreement Year and the approved tip fee to be 945 effective on the first (1") day of the subsequent Agreement Year. Therefore the first (1") 946 ATF factor will be the percentage change in the approved tip fee as of July 1, 2005 and 947 the approved tip fee as of July 1 2006. 948 5.05.2.2 Annual Tonnaqe Factor. The AT factor shall be the 949 percentage change in the Prior Calculated Tonnage and the Current Calculated 950 Tonnage. For purposes of the initial compensation adjustment of July 1, 2006, the Prior 951 Calculated Tonnage shall be the tonnage figure submitted by the CONTRACTOR as set 952 forth in Exhibit 1 to this Agreement.

These items are detailed below. Public Education and Outreach Plan like the City of Dublin, AVI places the utmost importance on effective public education and promotion. Effective outreach efforts are the key to helping residents and businesses understand the irnportance of source reduction, reuse, recycling, and buying recycled-content products. Our commitment to education is reflected in the samples of education materials provided in the Appendix of our proposal. These samples represent public education materials developed and distributed by various companies owned and operated by AVI principals. AVI will provide a strong public education program in the City of Dublin, including sophisticated public education materials, education programs and materials beyond those required by the City. AVl's public education budget for the start-up of the Collection Service programs is $130,000 with an additional $75,000 for the first year, The focus of AVl's public education and outreach program will be to introduce new programs to residents and businesses as well as to increase awareness of the need to reduce, reuse, and recycle, as well as the importance of buying recycled- content products. This awareness will result in increased program participation and decreased waste generation to help the City of Dublin obtain and maintain AS 939 and Measure D compliance. The AVI principals also believe in a total involvement and commitment to the community in all activities, not just industry-related activities. This level of involvement is practiced in all the communities serviced by the companies owned and operated by the principals of AVI and will continue to be practiced in the City of Dublin as well. In addition to education and information about recycling, AVI will educate residents and businesses about other solid waste handling issues such as the correct setout of refuse and the proper handling of household hazardous waste. This information will help preserve a clean, healthy, and safe environment throughout Dublin. AVl's public education and outreach program will be clear and comprehensive and will consistently relay the 4 R's message. This will be done through: 1. Initial start-up activities Introducing AVI as the new provider of solid waste and recycling programs, and 46'(-<1¥1II" l liJ¡,;¡,~v' Page 97 Collection Service Agreement 2. Continuing education activities throughout the agreement term Providing ongoing education and promotion to encourage continued program participation and to promote reuse, waste reduction, and buying recycled-content products. AVI has extensive, recent experience with successful start-ups for new prograrns, including single stream recycling collection, automated compostable materials collection, automated refuse collection, and business recycling programs. Each of these programs experienced smooth implementations - due in major part to the extensive public education and outreach as well as superior operations and customer service - with no confusion or complaint from the public. A description of the public education and outreach program for residents and businesses is provided below. The timeline for these activities has been included in the implementation plan timeline. Costs for these activities have been included in the cost proposal. Residential Education Program Start-Up Activities Initial Mailing AVI will mail an introductory public education piece to all single-farnily residences. This initial mailing will introduce AVI as the new collection contractor. It will provide residents with inforrnation about local AVI staff who will be directly involved with the ongoing day-to-day operations in the City of Dublin and how to contact them, including AVl's website address. The initial mailing will include information about program changes highlighting the addition of the Food Scrap Recycling Program. AVI key staff members have extensive experience in implementing a food scrap program. Our sister company Pleasanton Garbage Service conducted a pilot food scrap recycling program for eighteen months. The program went City wide in March 2004 and has been extremely successful. We attribute this success to the public education program that was conducted before and continues to this day. The brochure will also inform residents about the enhancements made to the Large Item Cleanup and the addition of the ability to recycle household batteries through their curbside recycling program. The information will be presented in a positive, upbeat manner to assure residents that the new programs will be cleaner, easier, and more attractive. The ease of participating in this program and the benefits obtained not only by the resident but also in helping the City meet their required diversion goal will be highlighted in the brochure. The mailer will inform residents of the cart delivery schedule. It will explain to residents that specific program information will be delivered with the residents' Page 98 City of Dublin Collection Service Agreement carts. The mailer will inform residents of the dates, times, and locations of the two scheduled community workshops to be held throughout the City and invite residents to attend one or more of these workshops for more information about the new programs. The initial mailer will include information about available cart sizes (32, 54, and 95 gallon). The mailer will explain that residents may select their refuse cart size and that a 64-gallon cart for recyclables and a 54-gallon cart for organic materials will be provided unless they indicate otherwise. A tear-off, return postcard will be part of the initial mailer for residents to order carts. Residents who do not respond and send back their postcard will be delivered the same size cart that they presently have. Residents will be encouraged to use the smallest size possible for refuse and the largest size they will fill for recyclables and organic materials. These carts will be on display at the community workshops (discussed later in this section) so that residents can make informed decisions about their preferred cart size. Further, residents will be told that they may order a different size cart or an additional recycling or organics cart. The brochure will highlight the used motor oil and filter-recycling program. Residential customers will have the ability to request up to two one gallon used motor oil jugs. These jugs will be similar to a plastic rnilk jug but will be made of a heavier gauge plastic. The jugs will be clearly labeled with the instructions of how to participate in the used motor oil program, Residents will also be instructed that they may recycle their used motor oil filters by placing them in a heavy gauge plastic zip lock bag and placing the bag next to their motor oil jug at the curb. The recycling route driver will collect the motor oil and filter and place them into a holding rack on their truck. The driver will provide the resident with the same number of rnotor oil jugs as picked up for their next use. Finally, the initial mailing will invite residents to volunteer as City of Dublin Recycling Leaders in their neighborhood, homeowners' association, duplex, or triplex. A box will be provided on the tear-off return postcard that residents can check to get more information about this program. During the start-up, recycling leaders will be given special training to answer new program questions raised by their neighbors. Recycling leaders will be given program information materials to provide to their neighbors if needed. Recycling leaders will become an integral part of AVI's ongoing education activities. How-to" Brochure A detailed program "how-to" brochure will be delivered when carts are delivered. This brochure will contain set out instructions for refuse carts, infonmation regarding materials that can (and cannot) be placed in recycling carts, setout information for used oil and oil filters, and information about what can (and cannot) be placed in the compostable materials carts. As reflected in the sample public education materials, AVI will rely heavily on graphics and pictures as the E~.~<.·.···"'. ~.Yí&~'i..' 4,rl/!!Jj,%" Page 99 Collection Service Agreement primary way to convey this message in a simple and understandable way. Text is used minimally and presents information in a concise manner. The number of brochures will be determined based on the customer count with a 10% over run. The "how-to" brochure (as well as other public education materials) will provide supplemental information in other languages and made available to households as needed. The brochure will include an explanation of the on-call cleanup's, and AVl's contact information. The brochure will be printed on heavy, coated stock and residents will be encouraged to save the contact information to hang in a convenient location for future reference. All educational materials distributed before the events will encourage a variety of reuse and recycling alternatives instead of disposal. AVI will contract with Goodwill Industries, Salvation Army, or similar local reuse organizations to provide an outlet for materials that are collected in the cleanup but still have reuse ability. Community Workshops AVI will conduct two community workshops prior to the start of collection services. These workshops will be scheduled in separate geographic areas of the City, making it convenient for all residents to attend at least one workshop. AVI will work with the City and local community organizations to determine the location of these workshops. City of Dublin staff is invited to join AVI staff at these workshops to present new program information and answer questions about the prograrn. AVI will ensure that all public education and outreach materials are at these events, as well as one sample of each cart size. AVI will provide refreshments, make an initial presentation of the program highlighting any changes from the City's current program, and facilitate a question and answer period. Print Media In addition to the public education and outreach required in the RFP, AVI proposes to run print ads in local newspapers as part of the start-up activities. These print ads will correspond with the direct mail piece campaign (i.e., initially introducing AVI and then describing program changes, informing residents of delivery of carts, letting residents know about scheduled community workshops, etc.) These print ads will also include AVI contact information and our website address. Residential Continuing Education Activities Program Presentations AVI will conduct presentations on our program to homeowners associations or other community groups as requested by the public or by the City. In addition, we Page 100 City of Dublin Collection Service Agreement will take the initiative to contact various groups and offer to do presentations on a regular basis throughout the term of the agreement On-Line Quarterly Newsletter AVI will develop and display a quarterly residential newsletter on our website. We feel there's no more effective way to promote source reduction than to make our newsletter available to residents on-line. AVI uses the newsletter format to convey multiple types of information to residents, including source reduction, reuse, recycling, and buying products made with recycled materials. Newsletters will also reflect currently asked questions (and their answers), status reports on diversion levels, information regarding what is being done with the recyclables collected, information about hard-to-rnarket materials, and other program and industry information that will encourage residents to preserve our natural resources. The quarterly newsletter will also be a vehicle to provide information about Alameda County's Household Hazardous Waste Program and to address any issues with refuse collection. Corrective Actions Notice As part of AVl's ongoing operations and custorner services, all collection drivers will be trained in the use of Corrective Actions Notices. These Notices will be bright-colored and of sufficient size to be easily seen and recognized by the public. The tone of these Notices will also be informative and educational rather than punitive. (Perhaps a play on the acronym of "Corrective Actions Notice" or CAN" could be used - "You CAN do it.") The Notices will be used in instances where the resident sets out inappropriate materials and will clearly reflect the nature of the setout problem. As a courtesy to our customers, and to eliminate frustration, drivers will be trained to clean up materials at curbside and go ahead and collect materials, leaving the Corrective Actions Notice to educate and inform the resident. The exception to this will be in the case of hazardous materials placed in containers or frequent contamination of materials at a particular site. In either case, the City will be notified of the non- collection and the resident will be instructed how to resume collection of materials. School Education Programs AVI strongly believes in the education of children. The children of this generation have grown up with recycling as a mainstream. Further, children's behavior patterns are more easily changed than adult behavior patterns and there is an extra benefit of children carrying the message home to their parents. Our sister company Pleasanton Garbage Service was the first corporate sponsor of the Go Green Initiative. We have partnered with the founder of the Go Green Initiative, IQJE$W Page 101 Collection Service Agreement Jill Buck, to develop a comprehensive, full-service recycling program for Dublin schools, which will allow them to achieve maximum waste diversion via on- campus recycling. Together with the Go Green Initiative, we will create a tailor- made public education and recycling system for Dublin schools, based upon the market research techniques that Jill and our company employed with Pleasanton school administrators and custodians. We invest the time and resources necessary to create community pride and enthusiasm for environmentally responsible waste reduction. Non-Program Related Information In all of our public education and outreach materials and activities, AVI will present non-program related information such as source reduction, material reuse, junk mail reduction, proper handling of household hazardous waste, grass cycling, backyard composting, and other integrated waste management techniques. The Alameda County Waste Management Authority, the California Integrated Waste Management Board, and other city and county jurisdictions have developed materials that relay important messages that can easily be adapted to City of Dublin needs. AVI will use such materials when possible to maximize the impact of the education budget or to present a consistent message for countywide programs such as household hazardous waste. Attendance at Community Events AVI will ensure that a portable display, program information, and any other appropriate items (e.g., recycling trucks, carts, etc.) are available at a rninimum of three comrnunity events each year. AVI's staff will be available to answer questions from the public and to encourage participation in the programs. This personal involvement with the community is important to our culture and is an intrinsic part of the culture of A VI. Committed to the Community AVI knows how important it is to support the community and be personally involved, We are an active member of the Dublin Chamber of Commerce and have supported local programs such as GFWC Dublin/San Ramon Women's Club, Friends of the Dublin Library, Green and White Gala Ball, as well as a Corporate Sponsor for the Dublin Chamber of Commerce Golf Tournament held at the new Dublin Ranch Golf Course. We recently co-sponsored the Dublin Chamber BBQ held at Rowell Ranch. Not only have we supported these events monetarily but also AVI staff have volunteered and participated in many of these events. Recycling Leader Network AVI will work diligently to establish a network of residential recycling leaders. This type of program has worked successfully in many jurisdictions. Recycling leaders Page 102 City of Dublin Collection Service Agreement will be trained to provide program information and non-program information (such as source reduction) to their neighbors. Recycling leaders will always have a full supply of all education materials to provide to residents. AVI will meet with recycling leaders a minimum of three times each year to address any program concerns or questions, discuss the status of each of the programs, and develop a community-based, grass-roots network of recycling enthusiasts. Upon award of the contract, AVI would like to discuss with the City ways to publicly recognize recycling leaders or incentives to encourage residents to volunteer as recycling leaders. Large Item Clean Up Events AVI will inform residents of the three annual on-call cleanup events available to each resident. This information will be included in all brochures and newsletters that AVI produces. The brochure will explain how easy it is for residents to pick up the phone and request the cleanup at their convenience. Quarterly Report of Education Activities As required by the Agreement, AVI will provide the City of Dublin with a quarterly report of education activities. The report will, at a minimum, include public education materials and the total numbers distributed; dates, times, and group names of all meetings attended and presentations given; and all other public education activities for the preceding quarter. Commercial Education Programs AVI understands that a new approach is being launched through the new commercial recycling program. Commercial and industrial refuse customers will receive information that clearly explains the benefits of recycling with AVI. Since the fee for all recycling services is included in the solid waste rate a simple message can be sent such as "More Recycling'" Cost Savings" Initial Maller AVI will mail an introductory public education piece to businesses, including property owners and managers of multi-family complexes who utilize a common garbage bin. This initial rnailing will introduce AVI as the new collection contractor. It will provide businesses with information about the local AVI staff who will be directly involved with the ongoing day-to-day operations in Dublin and how to contact them, including AVl's website address. The number of brochures will be detenmined based on the customer count with a 10% over run. Multi-family complexes will now have the ability to recycle used motor oil and filters. AVI will provide those buildings that request this service with a motor oil- recycling caddy. Each caddy will be constructed to hold ten (10) one gallon jugs. The building manager will request the appropriate number of caddies needed for K:,~~" uQ@·-;P Page 103 Collection Service Agreement their specific building. This will allow building managers to place the caddy in a convenient location for tenants. The building manager must place the motor oil- recycling caddy by the recycling containers when ready for collection. The recycling route driver will collect the full used motor oil jugs and filters from the caddy and replace with the appropriate empty jugs. Businesses will be informed that staff from AVI will be contacting them soon to offer any help possible in setting up a recycling program or improve an existing recycling program if necessary. The mailer will also inform businesses that AVI will be providing new refuse collection containers (bins, debris boxes, compactors) and/or recycling carts to businesses. A tear-off return postcard will be part of the initial mailer for businesses to ask questions, request that the recycling coordinator contact them, or request that the recycling coordinator make a presentation at their business. Those businesses that request assistance will be put at the top of the list for the recycling coordinator to contact. Finally, the initial mailing will invite businesses to enroll an employee in the City of Dublin's Business Recycling Leader Network. Business recycling leaders will meet quarterly as explained in the Continuing Education Activities Section of this proposal. Business recycling leaders will become an integral part of AVl's ongoing business education activities. How-To" Brochure AVI will oversee design of the "How-To Recycle" Brochure specific to the business types described in the RFP (multi-family dwellings, restaurants, office/commercial buildings, strip malls, and large commercial businesses) and any other business type identified during start-up activities. AVI proposes to do the initial mailing of the "How~To-Recycle" brochure in phases to ensure that businesses receive a timely follow-up if they ask for irnmediate assistance. Receipt of this brochure will trigger a desire for action in some businesses. If too many responses come in at once (which may happen if the brochure is sent out Citywide), it will delay our ability to respond to interested businesses in a timely manner. This would not be good customer service and may result in a business not setting up a recycling program at all. These brochures will be delivered to businesses as follows. Phase 1 Each business that requested information by sending the return postcard from the initial mailer will receive the "How-To-Recycle" brochure. The recycling coordinator will follow up with these businesses to perform a waste audit and offer any technical assistance needed to set up a recycling program. Page 104 City of Dublin Collection Service Agreement Phase 2 Based on data obtained from the City, the former franchise hauler, mail house(s), the Chamber of Commerce, etc. during start-up activities, AVI will build a database of businesses by business type. This database will reflect the size of the business and note those businesses that currently have a recycling program. How-To-Recycle" brochures will be sent to the 50 largest businesses based on subscripted solid waste services. The recycling coordinator will follow-up with these businesses to perform a waste audit and provide technical assistance in setting up a recycling program. The database will be updated accordingly. Phase 3 How-To-Recycle" brochures will be sent to the next 50 largest businesses, based on subscripted solid waste services, in each business type. Again, the recycling coordinator will follow-up with the businesses who respond to perform a waste audit and provide technical assistance in setting up a recycling program. Mailing of the "How- To-Recycle" brochure will continue in phases until all businesses have been contacted and those businesses responding have been followed up on by the recycling coordinator. Promote and Conduct Training Meetings In the initial mailing to businesses (described above), AVI will promote the availability of staff to do recycling presentations at businesses. As described above, businesses can indicate their interest in this type of presentation by returning the tear-off postcard. The recycling coordinator will follow-up with these requests and conduct recycling training rneetings. In addition, as responses are received to the "How-To-Recycle" brochures, the recycling coordinator will offer to rnake recycling presentations at businesses and will follow-up with any requests to do so. If the combination of these two contacts with businesses does not result in conducting a significant number to attend training meetings, the recycling coordinator will call businesses and offer this service. Business Association Groups The commercial/industrial recycling coordinator will contact the Chamber of Commerce and other business organizations in the City to offer to do presentations to educate businesses on the recycling program available to businesses. AVl's principals are actively involved in local business organizations and will be able to facilitate these presentations. A minimum of four presentations will be made to local business association organizations within the first six months of the new agreement. r VUi,)t'.'· Page 105 Collection Service Agreement Commercial/Industrial Continuing Education Activities Waste Audits AVI is proficient in conducting business waste audits in all of the companies owned and operated by its principals. We will work cooperatively with the Alameda County Waste Management Authority and the Stop Waste Program. The Stop Waste Program has successfully assisted businesses to greatly reduce their solid waste bills by identifying areas not only for recycling but also for source reduction. The businesses to be audited will be identified, in part, through the distribution of the initial mailing and "How-To-Recycle" brochures as discussed in the start-up activities section earlier in this proposal. In addition, businesses will continually be made aware of the availability of this service through the business newsletters that will be produced and distributed by AVI. Reports of the results of these waste audits will be provided to the City on a quarterly basis. Business Newsletter AVI will produce and distribute a business newsletter with invoices sent to Dublin businesses and post this newsletter on-line as well. The newsletter will include pertinent program information, frequently asked questions and answers, tips for waste reduction for businesses, information regarding handling of hazardous waste for small business generators, and other information pertinent to businesses and the season in which the newsletter is published. This newsletter will also be used as a vehicle to recognize businesses that have made particularly notable progress in recycling or source reduction programs. Corrective Actions Notice One of the unique challenges in collection programs for businesses and multi- family complexes is the increased level of contamination in recyclables and the lack of good housekeeping in the centralized collection site area. This is due in part to the transient nature of the persons sharing this site (either as tenants of multi-farnily complexes or employees of businesses) and the anonymity that comes with using a centralized site. It is nearly impossible to determine who is contaminating recyclables or dumping refuse on the ground in a centralized collection center. These same issues make it difficult to change behavior or reach program compliance by leaving a Corrective Actions Notice. Many individuals may see the notice but it is possible that no one will take personal responsibility in complying with the notice. Page 106 City of Dublin Collection Service Agreement AVI will implement a process used in the other companies owned and operated by its principals. When a Corrective Actions Notice is left for a business or multi- family complex, a follow-up call will be made to the business (to a specific contact person, if known) or to the multi-family complex manager or owner to discuss the nature of the Corrective Actions Notice and offer assistance in reaching compliance with the notice. As in the residential cart collection program, drivers will clean-up the contamination and collect the materials prior to leaving the Corrective Actions Notice. If the problem is recurring, or hazardous waste materials are present in the refuse or recyclables, the driver will leave the materials and the Corrective Actions Notice and contact the City immediately. AVI staff will contact the appropriate person at the collection location to explain why the rnaterials were left and what needs to be done to resume collection. Public Education Summary We hope it is apparent from the public education programs described above, the sample materials provided in the Appendix, and the strength of our public education staff that AVI takes public education and outreach seriously. We are convinced that public education is the only way to maximize diversion and ensure compliance with collection guidelines. Further, we believe that this is best done through establishing a partnership with our customers. Lastly, the above- proposed public education programs represent the baseline for AVl's programs. As our experience in the City of Dublin develops, other needs for public education and outreach will become apparent and will be met. e i[' ß&,_t,~"IKã.rA~\>;! IJ Page Collection Service Agreement Exhibit 9 City of Dublin, CA AMADOR VALLEY INDUSTRIES DIVERSION PLAN FOR THE CITY OF DUBLIN e Diversion Programs The following is an outline of diversion programs that Amador Valley Industries will implement at the start of the Dublin Solid Waste, Recycling and Organics Collection Agreement: Residential Single Stream Curbside Recycling & Organics Program Residents will receive a 54-gallon cart for recyclables, a 54-gallon cart for organic materials and a one gallon food scrap pail. A tear~off, return postcard will be part of the initial mailer for residents to order carts other than default cart sizes. Residents will be encouraged to use the smallest size possible for refuse and the largest size they feel they will fill weekly for recyclables and organic materials. These carts will be on display at the community workshops so that residents can make informed decisions about their preferred cart size. Further, residents will be told that they may order a different size cart or an additional recycling or organics cart. A comprehensive and on-going public education plan will continually remind residents about the 4 R's and other waste diversion programs such as home composting, buy recycled, smart packaging ideas, just to name a few. Residential Used Motor Oil & Filter Collection Program Residential customers will have the ability to request up to two one gallon used motor oil jugs. These jugs will be similar to a plastic milk jug but will be rnade of a heavier gauge plastic. The jugs will be clearly labeled with the instructions of how to participate in the used motor oil program. Residents will also be instructed that they may recycle their used motor oil filters by placing them in a heavy gauge plastic zip lock bag and placing the bag next to their motor oil jug at the curb. The recycling route driver will collect the rnotor oil and filter and place them into a holding rack on their truck. The driver will provide the resident with the same number of motor oil jugs as picked up for their next use. Large Item Collection Service AVI recognizes that a significant amount of rnaterial is collected in the clean-up events. We are committed to recycling the highest percentage of the materials possible. Using resale organizations to donate reusable items to and processing the remaining materials at the Pleasanton Transfer Station/MRF will significantly reduce the amount of discarded material taken to the landfill. AVI will inform residents of the three annual on-call cleanup events available to each resident. e Page 108 City of Dublin Collection Service Agreement This information will be included in all brochures and newsletters that AVI produces. Residential Curbside Christmas Tree Recycling Program Christmas trees will be collected from all SFD service units on their regular service day. AVI will not compete with the Boy Scouts Program but will provide an opportunity to publicize their program as well. The Christmas Tree Collection Program will begin the first collection day after Christmas Day and continue through the last collection day in January. All non contaminated trees will be recycled; all contaminated (flocked, tinsel, decorations) will be disposed of. Drop-Off Christmas Tree Recycling Program Three different drop-off sites each supplied with a drop-off box will be available for Christmas tree drop-off from the first business day after Christmas Day until the third Monday of January. These roll off boxes as well as the area surrounding them will be monitored and boxes will be emptied as necessary and the area will be kept free of debris. Multi-Family Recycling Program Recycling service will be made available to all eligible MFD service units. A site survey will be conducted and the type and number of recycling container(s) will be determined. In addition the building owner or manager will be made aware of the Organics Program that is available. Multi-Family Used Oil & Filter Collection Program Multi-family complexes will now have the ability to recycle used motor oil and filters. AVI will provide those buildings that request this service with a motor oil- recycling caddy. Each caddy will be constructed to hold ten (10) one gallon jugs. The building manager will request the appropriate number of caddies needed for their specific building. This will allow building managers to place the caddy in a convenient location for tenants. The building manager must place the motor oil- recycling caddy by the recycling containers when ready for collection. The recycling route driver will collect the full used motor oil jugs and filters from the caddy and replace with the appropriate empty jugs. Commercial Recycling & Organics Recycling Program Businesses will be informed that staff from AVI will be contacting them soon to offer any help possible in setting up a recycling program or improve an existing recycling program if necessary. The recycling coordinator will meet with customers to explain the various services and containers available. Single stream or source separated recycling will be available with either carts or bins depending on the quantity of materials. The organics/food scrap recycling Q! '(fu. d~iIJ~lm)tlf Page 109 Collection Service Agreement service may require additional training with employees and will be conducted by the AVI staff, A tear-off return postcard will be part of the initial mailer for businesses to ask questions, request that the recycling coordinator contact thern, or request that the recycling coordinator make a presentation at their business. Those businesses that request assistance will be put at the top of the list for the recycling coordinator to contact. The following outlines the Phases that will be implernented to set up recycling at a business: Phase 1 Each business that requested inforrnation by sending the return postcard frorn the initial mailer will receive the "How-To-Recycle" brochure. The recycling coordinator will follow up with these businesses to perform a waste audit and offer any technical assistance needed to set up a recycling program, Phase 2 Based on data obtained from the City, the former franchise hauler, mail house(s), the Chamber of Commerce, etc. during start-up activities, AVI will build a database of businesses by business type. This database will reflect the size of the business and note those businesses that currently have a recycling program. How-To-Recycle" brochures will be sent to the largest 50 businesses. The recycling coordinator will follow-up with these businesses to perform a waste audit and provide technical assistance in setting up a recycling program. The database will be updated accordingly. Phase 3 How-To~Recycle" brochures will be sent to the next largest 50 businesses in each business type, Again, the recycling coordinator will follow-up with the businesses who respond to perform a waste audit and provide technical assistance in setting up a recycling program. Mailing of the "How-To-Recycle" brochure will continue in phases until all businesses have been contacted and those businesses responding have been followed up on by the recycling coordinator. Household Hazardous Waste Drop-Off Program AVI will conduct an annual Household Hazardous Waste Drop-Off Program for residents of Dublin. The location for the event will be determined in conjunction with the City. AVI will utilize Phillips Service Corporation (PSC) as the sub- contractor to provide the actual services. Please see separate attachment with PSC scope of services. Page 110 City of Dublin Collection Service Agreement City Facility Recycling AVI will provide recycling, organic and large item collection to all City service units. Site visits will be conducted and the level and type of recycling service will be determined to maximize recycling services. Special Events Recycling Solid waste, recycling and portable toilet service will be made available for up to three city sponsored events at no cost to the City. Services will be based on the needs of the event. 1;''''7'!ti~jæ,iiØ' Page 111 Collection Service Agreement Exhibit 10 City of Dublin, CA HHW Disposal Event Plan A. Operation of Reservation System AVI, through PSC, will provide and maintain a complete reservation system. The system will consist of a toll-free phone number and e-mail address for residents to access for information on the event and to schedule an appointment The hotline will be manned during regular business hours by a dedicated HHW custorner service representative. If the hotline is on another line or unavailable, caliers will have access to an automated voice mail system. The voice mail system (Panasonic KX-TVS200) includes two dedicated mail boxes for the City of Dublin event; additional mailboxes can be added upon request. Each mail box has a maximum capacity of 100 messages. Alternatively, residents may send an email to the AVI dedicated account requesting an appointment or further information. All voice mail messages and emails will be returned within one business day. Our hotline operator will screen residents according to eligibility criteria established by the City of Dublin. All qualifying residents will receive a designated time slot to participate in the temporary collection event. Once the appointment has been established, PSC will mail a confirmation flier to the resident. This flier will contain the residents' name, address and appointment time, a map and written directions to the site, and information on acceptable and unacceptable items as well as handling and transportation instructions, On the reverse side of the flier PSC can include a participant survey. This survey will be submitted to the City of Dublin for approval prior to its use. Obtaining Event Permits AVI, through PSC, will prepare and submit all required State documentation, permits and notifications for operation of each temporary HHW collection event As the generator City of Dublin) will be required to complete and sign specific portions of the Permit By Rule Notification form, two copies of all permit information will be submitted to the City for review and signature as soon as possible after site selection is finalized. The PBR must be submitted to the DTSC at least 45 days prior to the scheduled collection event. AVI, through PSC, will prepare and submit all permitting and notifications as required by local agencies. Furthermore, AVI, through PSC will meet with all appropriate local agencies in a pre-event emergency responders planning meeting. Once sites are selected, AVI, through PSC, will visit each site, review the site for operational acceptability, and meet with the site owners to assess concerns and issues with utilization of the site for HHW purposes. AVI, through PSC, will stay in contact with the site owner throughout the duration of the project. We will provide evidence of Page 112 City of Dublin Collection Service Agreement insurance coverage as required, and will follow up after collection activities to ensure that the site owner and neighbors have no outstanding concerns or issues with the site and event. Operations, Health & Safety, and Contingency Plans AVI, through PSC, will provide the appropriate site specific Operations, Health & Safety, and Contingency Plans thirty days prior to each scheduled temporary collection event. This plan is reviewed and updated annually and immediately following any significant regulatory or client program changes, The Table of Contents for a standard plan has been included on the following page. This plan is available for review by the City of Dublin at any time.

All sites must be readily accessible to the public and contain paved surfaces. A dedicated PSC Project Manager will accompany Amador Valley Industries and the City of Dublin on all site~walks and provide an evaluation of potential event locations. Turnkey Services The following will summarize the AVI on-site operations, on-site personnel responsibilities, and off·site waste transportation and managernent plans for a temporary collection event. Site Set-up and Event Preparation Permit applications will be prepared by PSC, submitted and permits acquired by the District. Labor needs and specific equipment requests will be confirmed between PSC, Amador Valley Industries and the City one-week in advance. Vendors and subcontractors will be notified in writing of event details. City staff may review these notifications if requested. With the aid of technicians, equipment and materials will be loaded onto equipment trucks the day prior to the event day. Equipment will be delivered to the site the morning prior to the HHW collection. PSC staff will complete set-up of the entire site. The Amador Valley Industries representative will specify site set-up details. Packaging areas will be double lined with 6 mil. visqueen by technicians, Sorting tables will be lined with visqueen and placed per the set-up plan. Durnpsters will be lined with dumpster liners and prepared for use. r~j¡;, iIJ.~IltIti;.'Ø Page 115 Collection Service Agreement Canopies will be set-up over all waste processing areas. Emergency eye wash and shower stations will be established and set-up. A decontamination station and break area will be set·up. Signage (no smoking etc.) and spill response stations will be established. Waste packaging segregation zones will be established and clearly marked. Bulking berms will be set-up for material bulking areas. Vehicle ingress, egress and queuing will be established and marked with cones. A full drum staging area will be identified and lined with visqueen. The site will be ready for operation 1/2 hour prior to the first scheduled appointment A site safety meeting will be held prior to event opening conducted by the PSC Project Manager Event Operations PSC will provide staffing for the following event positions/tasks. Unloading (Technician) The unloader will have the following responsibilities. Once the vehicle has stopped, and the engine has been turned off, the unloader will remove the waste material from the vehicle. It will be the responsibility of the unloader to ask the participant the identity of the material being unloaded, Special attention will be given to unlabeled materials, and those with conflicting markingsllabels. The unloaders will be careful not to accept any of the materials on the unacceptable list. Lab grade chemicals coming from homeowners or businesses will be identified as they are unloaded as these could be the source of explosives or radioactive materials. Unloaders will only put the materials on the top of the waste carts for movement into and around the facility. It will be the responsibility of the unloader to communicate to the sorters, labpackers, and HazCat personnel any information on the identity of each customer's waste. In the event of an evacuation, like the greeter, the unloading personnel will instruct the customers to exit their vehicles and accompany them to the evacuation assembly area. Sorting/Screening (Chemist) Sorting personnel will sort materials from the carts into the appropriate loosepack, labpack, and bulk waste streams. They will utilize their experience Page 116 City of Dublin Collection Service Agreement with materials management and material cheat sheets to determine the appropriate segregation of each material. The sorting personnel will be responsible for a majority of the facility packaging. Materials will be moved from the screening area to packaging areas and packed by the sorters. Laboratory/Unknown Identification (Chemist) In this area personnel will characterize unknown materials using HazCat techniques. Care will be taken while running these tests that incompatible materials are not mixed, and that the testing apparatus is not creating additional hazards. Persons working in this area will pay close attention to the materials being tested to avoid hazardous reactions. Once identified, the materials will be returned to the sorting area to be packed. It is the responsibility of the HazCat personnel to communicate to the sorting personnel the hazardous nature of the materials being returned. Waste Packaging After screening has occurred, the wastes will be packaged in various. Packaging activities may include bulking latex paints, oil and antifreeze, labpacking pesticide materials or loosepacking oil base paints. Waste Acceptance Protocol Unacceptable Waste PSC treatment facilities are permitted by the federal and state government to accept most types and hazard classes of waste including dangerous waste, extremely hazardous waste, liquid, solid and compressed gasses, The few types of waste we are not permitted to handle at HHW sites include: Explosives or explosive waste, with the exception of surface flares Ammunition Biological, biohazard or medical waste, with the exception of syringes Radioactive waste Large compressed gas cylinders Business generated waste (unless CESQG) Solid Waste (household garbage) Water Reactives Residents will not be allowed to bring in more than two (2) 30-gallon size bags of asbestos Jtftwy Page 117 Collection Service Agreement PSC has the ability to subcontract and manage the above waste streams if they are inadvertently accepted at the facility. Disposal pricing for the above wastes will be the responsibility of AVI. Site Tear-down All collected wastes are shipped from the sites on the date of collection. While wastes are being loaded for shipment, the site will be torn down and returned to its original condition before PSC leaves the site that afternoon or evening. Although de-mobilization is a priority for PSC, the time it actually takes may vary depending on participation and waste volumes. Material Reuse Table Should the City of Dublin elect to include a reuse table as part of temporary event operations, the following operations and procedures will be initiated. PSC personnel responsible for unloading, sorting and packaging of waste will have direction and protocols for the identifying and segregating of potentially reusable materials. All rnaterials to be sorted for potential reuse should have legible labels, be legal products, be over one half full and in uncrushed, non-leaking, original containers. Such products will be segregated onto a special cart, which will then be taken to the Reuse Table and made available to the public. PSC will require that the City of Dublin provide the final decision on exchanging of materials. As good business practice and recent legislative activity require, PSC has developed, and includes as part of our standard site work plan, operations and quality control procedures for operating reuse programs as described below. Waste Management PSC recognizes the commitment to the waste management hierarchy that promotes source reduction, reuse, and recycling above other management methods such as incineration and landfill. PSC will ensure that the most appropriate waste disposal methods are available for the household waste collected. PSC will evaluate each waste stream received on an ongoing basis.

Statement of Experience PSC Overview PSC is a fully integrated resource recovery and industrial services company providing steel, copper and aluminum processing and recovery service, solid and liquid by- products recovery, and industrial and rernediation services throughout North America. PSC currently employs over 5,000 people and operates 120 facilities and offices across North America. e Page 120 City of Dublin Collection Service Agreement The PSC entity, which will service this project, is 21" Centurv EMI. a whollv owned subsidiary of PSC. The parent company, PSC, holds the overall insurance, bonding and liability coverages for the companies. Operationally, 21" Century EMI will provide Project Management and Waste Transportation Services. PSC operates the primary TSDF facilities to which the City's waste will be sent and initially processed, treated and recycled. PSC Transportation and Disposal Qualifications PSC will Philip Transportation & Remediation Inc. (PTR), a PSC company, as the primary transporter for the City of Dublin's Program. PTR has been building this transportation fleet since 1969 and is one of this country's safest hazardous waste transportation companies. PTR is licensed in all 50 United States. Disposal Facilities PSC treatment facilities carry all the necessary local, state, and federal permits, licenses, and certifications to manage the City of Dublin's household hazardous waste. As the owner and operator of a large network of Treatment and Recycling facilities, PSC guarantees that, once shipped, the waste will be accepted immediately off the transportation vehicle and managed as soon as possible thereafter. Primary Receiving Facilities PSC possesses extensive in-house capabilities for the consolidation, processing, treatment and recycling of hazardous waste. Waste will be recycled, treated or rendered non-hazardous within one receipt at our own treatment facilities. If waste requires final processing or disposal, PSC has contracts and relationships with all major firms and a number of specialty waste disposal firms throughout the United States. Upon request by the City, PSC will provide complete facility audit information including a detailed physical description of each primary receiving facility, its capabilities, materials accepted, licenses, permits, and compliance history. Secondary Receiving Facilities Once accepted into a PSC facility, wastes will be processed as soon as possible utilizing waste management hierarchy (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Fuel Blend, Treatment, Incinerate, Landfill) by treating and recycling as much waste as possible in the plant. If the materials cannot be managed in plant, such as those items requiring incineration or hazardous waste landfilling, they will be sent on to companies with which PSC has had long-standing relations and who have met our external audit requirements. The end disposal firms we use all have long-standing contracts with PSC Services. Each facility is audited on a routine basis and is approved for a specific end disposal function. PSC believes it is prudent to have at least two end disposal subcontractors for each disposal function to ensure both management capacity and variety of waste management options for our customer's waste. 5':[:)lI.·fr\:-'Ø\\~i Page 121 Collection Service Agreement List of Primary Facilities e Facility Location Facility Description EPA ID Number INGLEWOOD, CA 425 Isis Avenue Inglewood, CA 90301 RCRA Part B facility, with a bulk storage capacity of CAD 008-364-432 276,000 gallons and drum storage of 2,156 drums.

By way of illustration, the Calendar Year 2007 reported commercial recycling tonnage is 1,831.62, and the Calendar Year 2006 reported commercial recycling tonnage is 1,454.34. Therefore, the ATG factor used for the Agreement Year 2008-2009 adjustment to the Commercial Recycling Element is as follows: (1831.62 - 1454.34) /1454.34 = 0.2594. 5.05.7.3 Commercial Recyclino Compensation Element Adiustment. The annual Commercial Recycling Compensation Element adjustment shall be calculated by multiplying the Commercial Recycling Compensation Element times (one (1) plus the sum of the RRI factor and the ATG factor). For example, if the Commercial Recycling Compensation Element is $100,000, the RRI factor is .045 and the A TG factor is .12, the Commercial Recycling Compensation Element adjustment would be calculated using the following formula: 100,000 (1 + .045 + .12) = 116,500. 5.05.7.4 Commercial Recyclino Compensation Element. For Agreement Year 2008-2009, the Commercial Recycling Compensation Element shall be 205,130. The Commercial Recycling Compensation Element adjustment for the following Agreement Years shall be calculated with reference to this amount.
