BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS (continued)
NewPoint Group Review
The County entered into an agreement with NewPoint Group to review the Interim Year
Rate Change Application submitted by Garaventa. The result of NewPoint Group's review
is contained in their letter dated June 30, 2008,which is attached as EXHIBIT A. NewPoint
Group conducted their review consistent with the applicable provisions of the Rate Setting
Manual approved by the County for use in the Garaventa Service Area and the results of
this review are detailed in Section C of their letter.
History of Solid Waste Collection Rate Increases
Below is a brief summary of rate increases approved by the County over the past several
years in the Garaventa Service Area:
2003: Base Year Rate Application resulted in average residential & commercial rate
increase of 7.66% and residential rates were standardized
2004: Interim Year Rate Application resulted in increase of commercial rates by an
average of 11.79% (actual increases ranged between 2% - 25% depending on
the level of service) and commercial rates were standardized
2005: Interim Year Rate Application resulted in residential and commercial increase of
3.89%.
2006: Interim Year Rate Application resulted in residential and commercial increase of
2.69%
2007: Base Year Rate Application resulted in residential and commercial increase of
6.44%
Proposed Solid Waste Collection Rate Increase
The standard interim year rate changes are calculated based on a weighted increase in
controlled and uncontrolled costs. The recommended 6.71% increase of the solid waste
collection is comprised of a 5.05% increase of controlled and uncontrolled costs and 1.66%
increase in special extraordinary costs. The 5.05% increase was calculated based on the
9.5% projected increase in uncontrolled costs, 2.89% increase in controlled costs and
special extraordinary cost increases.
Uncontrolled Costs
Uncontrolled costs refer to tipping fees and associated regulatory charges. Garaventa
submitted an Interim Year Rate Change Application showing a projected 9.5% increase of
the tipping fee (also referred to as the gate rate) at the Pittsburg Transfer Station from
$60.50 per ton to $66.25 per ton.
Controlled Costs
Controlled costs include all other costs other than tipping fees and associated regulatory
charges. Controlled costs are adjusted based on the change in the Consumer Price Index
(CPI), which increased by 2.89% between April 2007 and April 2008.
Special Extraordinary Costs
Special extraordinary costs, including fuel costs increases, are also considered in the rate
analysis. Fuel prices for Garaventa increased 46.05% from April 2007 to April 2008. The
data supplied by Garaventa used to calculate this change spans the same time period
used to determine the change in CPI and is also in alignment with annual fuel price trend
data provided by the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Regarding: 2008 Interim Year Solid Waste Rate Review of
Unincorporated Contra Costa County Areas
Served by Garaventa Enterprises
Dear Ms. Dingman:
This letter report presents NewPoint Group, Inc.'s (NewPoint Group) review of the revised
2008 Interim Year Solid Waste Rate Change Application (Application) submitted by Garaventa
Enterprises (Garaventa) for unincorporated Contra Costa County (County). Garaventa submitted its
revised Application to the County on June 9, 2008.
Garaventa submitted an initial 2608 Interim Year Rate Change Application to the County on
April.2.3, 2008. The initial Application requested a rate increase of 5.86 percent for both residential
and cornmercial solid waste rates.
Subsequent to the initial Application, Garaventa submitted its revised Application on June 9,
2008, incorporating an extraordinary rate adjustment due to substantially higher fuel costs than were
anticipated. This revised Application from Garaventa requested a rate increase of 8.58 percent for
both residential and commercial Solid waste rates. Garaventa thins requested an additional 2.72
percent (8.58% - 5.86%) rate increase due to claimed extraordinary fuel costs.
The County regulates rates in the following three (3) unincorporated areas served by Garaventa:
1. Bay Point (part of Bay Point)
2. Brentwood
3. Discovery Bay.
The Ironhotrse Sanitary District, and Byron Sanitary District administer their own franchise
agreements and regulate residential rates for areas within their boundaries. The Ironhotrse Sanitary
District does not regulate commercial rates.
There also are 30 customers in the North Concord—unincorporated Contra Costa County area,served by
Concord Disposal Service,a company affiliated with Garaventa Enterprises.

Ms. Deidra Dingman Page 2
June 30,2008
Garaventa Enterprises has four subsidiary companies that perform the actual collection activities
for the unincorporated County areas (noted above), as well as Byron Sanitary District and Ironhouse
Sanitary District. These companies are:
• Brentwood Disposal (Brentwood (annexed areas), Byron, other rural County areas)
• Discovery Bay Disposal (Discovery Bay area)
IM Oakley Disposal (Ironhouse Sanitary District area)
Pittsburg Disposal (Bay Point area).
County rate setting is guided by the County's 1998 Rate Setting Process and Methodology Manual
for Residential Solid Waste Charges as Applied to Garaventa Enterprises(Manual). The County's
Manual allows Garaventa to submit an Application during the three years between base years.
Per the Manual, in the interim year, the franchise hauler is responsible for determining the actual
annual change in the CPI for the most recent 12-month period. Also according to the Manual, the
franchise hauler is responsible for estimating and documenting projected changes in tipping fees in
the interim year for which a rate adjustment is requested.
Special extraordinary adjustments are allowed by the Manual outside of annual schedules of the base
year and interim year adjustments.Thus this revised Application from Garaventa includes both an
interim year requested rate change adjustment and an extraordinary requested rate change adjustment.
Interim year rate change applications are more common than extraordinary rate requests. The
review and calculations in this report are different than the County has seen in the recent past for
just an interim application. Also, this rate review required more complex calculations than the
County has seen in the past for just an interim application because of the additional extraordinary
rate request.
The franchise hauler is responsible for providing necessary information and documentation so the
County can make a judgment as to the reasonableness of a special extraordinary rate adjustment. The
County Board of Supervisor's (Board) must ultimately approve a special extraordinary rate adjustment.
On June 12, 2008, we requested from Garaventa supporting detailed documentation for both
the tipping fee rate increase (part of the interim Application) and for the fuel cost increases (the
extraordinary rate request). Garaventa promptly and completely complied with our additional
documentation request on June 16, 2008.

D. Rate Recommendations.
A. Project Background
A base year rate review conducted by NewPoint Group in 2002 resulted in a recommendation
for a rate increase of, on average, 7.66 percent, for 2003. Residential rates regulated by the County
also were regionalized (i.e., made the same) at that time.`
In 2003, a 7.66 percent rate increase ultimately was implemented between March and May of
2003, depending upon the County service area. The Board approved this recommended rate increase
on December 17, 2002.
In 2004, based on an interim year rate review, commercial rates were increased by an average of
11.79 percent and commercial rates were regionalized across east County jurisdictions. There was no
(0.00 percent) increase to residential rates. This increase was approved by the Board on April 22, 2004.
In 2005, based on an interim year rate review, rates were increased 3.89 percent. This increase
was approved by the Board on April 12, 2005.'
In 2006, based on an interim year rate review, rates were increased 2.69 percent. This increase
was approved by the Board on in April, 2006.
In the 2007 base year rate review, rates were increased 6.44 percent. This increase was approved
by the Board on in May, 2007.
Garaventa's revised 2008 Application is provided as Attachment A. In its revised Application,
Garaventa requested a 8.58 percent rate increase for both residential and commercial rates (this
includes the extraordinary fuel cost adjustment request).Attachment B provides an annotated
version of Garaventa's Rate Change Worksheet for their revised Application with additional
explanation footnotes for their calculations.
B. Project Scope
Our review was conducted consistent with the County interim year rate review steps in the
Manual (i.e., Steps 2, 4, and 5). The timing of this'particular review did not coincide with the
schedule shown in the Manual for an interim year review because the revised Application was not
received by the County until June 9, 2008.
2 With the exception of Byron whichdid not have a curbside recycling program. In 2004, Byron adopted a curbside
recycling program and rates in Byron were increased to equal other County area rates.Also,40-gallon rates for the
Oakley/Ironhouse area were set$0.20 below the regional rate because Oakley/Ironhouse instituted its HHW fee
before other County areas.
3 In early 2005, Garaventa increased commercial rates in the Ironhouse Sanitary District area by approximately 5.0
percent. Unlike the County,this district does not require its Board to approve commercial rate changes.
NewPoint Group'
Management Cc:ns.vnt<
Ms. Deidra Dingman Page 4
June 30,2008
The Manual calls for an interim year Application to be submitted by September 1", for
implementation on January 1" of the next year. However, the current base year rates became effective
June 2007. In order for the County to not change rates more than once every twelve months, the
effective date for this interim rate change would have been no sooner than June 1, 2008 (requiring
Garaventa to submit their Application by February 1, 2008).
C. Interim Year Review Results
We prepared an annotated worksheet for our recommended interim year and extraordinary rate
change. This worksheet is provided as Attachment C.
Attachment D summarizes differences between Garaventa's worksheet model assumptions, and
those recommended by NewPoint Group. Attachment D also shows the resulting percentage rate
change rate calculation if NewPoint Group assumptions were used in Garaventa's model.
We separated costs in our worksheet review by change in extraordinary fuel costs, change in
controlled costs, and change in uncontrolled costs. These costs are discussed below.
1. Extraordinary Fuel Costs
Garaventa estimates their total fuel costs and applies a 57.66 percent rate increase to fuel costs
based on published data for "California No. 2 Diesel Retail Sales by All Sellers". The time period
Garaventa used for this fuel cost•increase was May 2007 to May 2008.
Wee reviewed actual Garaventa fuel costs, in addition to published fuel cost data. We recommend
using Garaventa actual fuel cost information for the extraordinary fuel cost request as we believe it is
more accurate and relevant than the published retail data. We calculated that Garaventa's actual
average total fuel (both diesel and gasoline) cost per gallon increased 46.05 percent from April 2007
to April 2008. We recommend using this April 2007 to April 2008 time period as it is consistent
with the time period for the most recently available relevant CPI data.
As shown below, Garaventa fuel prices increased 46.05 percent during the April 2007 to April
2008 period.
Fuel Average Price as of April 2007 $2.91
Fuel Average Price as of April 2008 $4.25
Change in Fuel Average Price $1.34
Percent Change in Fuel Average Price 46.05%
Attachment E provides a graph of annual fuel price percent change trends for "California No. 2
Diesel Retail Sales by All Sellers". The April 2007 to April 2008 time period of these data shows a
-ate
NewPoint Group`
\4rn:gf=meat :orisu:*n^?s
Ms. Deidra Dingman Page 5
June 30,2008
42.88 percent increase in diesel fuel prices, which is consistent with Garaventa's total fuel price
increase of 46.05 percent for this same time period.
Attachment F provides a graph of annual fuel and diesel price trends for Garaventa. Garaventa
fuel prices trend very closely to the published diesel price retail sales data.
We recommend allowing an extraordinary fuel cost rate increase. This rate increase is
recommended to be based on using Garaventa's actual fuel price changes from April 2007 to April
2008, and applying this fuel price change to non-Transfer Station fuel costs and to also not apply the
CPI index on top of the fuel index. Garaventa used a slightly higher fuel cost index in their
calculation, and Garaventa applied the index to total fuel costs (including Transfer Station fuel costs).
2. Controlled Costs
Controlled costs are increased by the rate of change in the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose
Consumer Price Index (CPI).' In its revised Application, Garaventa proposed to increase controlled
costs by the CPI change of 3.84 percent. We determined that the time period used for Garaventa's
CPI requested change was December 2006 to December 2007.
Based on the requirement in the Manual, the C:PI that the County is required to use is the
"annual change in the CPI" (page V-11). Page IVA of the Manual states that the CPI is to be
determined for the most recent 12-month period. At the time of this writing, the most recent 12
month period with published relevant CPI data is April 2007 to April 2008.As shown below, the
CPI increased 2.89 percent during the April 2007 to April 2008 period.
Consumer Price Index as of April 2007 215.842
Consumer Price index as of April 2008 222.074
Change in Consumer Price Index 6.232
Percent Change in Consumer Price Index 2.89%
CPI source data is provided in Attachment G.Attachment H provides a graph of recent annual
CPI change trends.
We recommend that a one-year CPI period still be used in order to maintain consistency
between interim years. We do not recommend that the County adjust this one-year convention
based on timing of the Application's submission. We also recommend the use of no adjustment
factor from a prior interim year because this is the first interim Application since the 2007 base year.
4 The CPI convention for interim years has been the October to October period.The October 2006 to October 2007
time period yielded a CPI change of 3.29 percent.

NewR:nt Group",
Ms. Deidra Dingman Page 6
June 30,2008
In our opinion, Garaventa unknowingly (because,of the complexity of the calculation) applies
their assumed CPI change to total controlled costs without accounting for already adjusted fuel cost
increases which used another index (Le.;California No. 2 Diesel Retail Sales data). One of the
several changes we made to Garaventa's Interim Application model was to make this adjustment to
avoid double counting of fuel cost increases.
3. Uncontrolled Costs
In its Application, Garaventa requested the tipping fee rate for the Pittsburg Transfer Station
(Transfer Station) be increased $5.75 per ton, from $60.50 per ton, to $66.25 per ton. This transfer
station/recycling center is owned and'operated by Garaventa, and is located in the City of Pittsburg.
On April21, 2008, the Pittsburg City Council approved a resolution to increase the total service
rate to $66.25 per ton at the Transfer Station. Staff in the City of Pittsburg reviewed the Contra
Costa Waste Services (a Garaventa company) request to increase the'Transfer Station service rate.
The".Transfer Station rate increase request to the City of Pittsburg vas intended to off-set
increased costs for transportation (fuel), power (electricity), and labor (staff salary) for facility
operations. This rite increase also included increasing the Recycling and Local Enforcement Agency
(LEA) Program Fee (recycling surcharge) $0.75 per ton, from $1.50 per ton, to $2.25 per ton.
According to Garaventa, the $5.00 per ton ($5.75 per ton total - $0.75 per ton for Recycling
and LEA Program Fee) increase for the Transfer Station service fee was comprised of the following
approximate components:
IM 38 percent of increase Due to CPI paid on disposal ripping fee at landfill (Republic
Services owns and operates the landfill in Solano County where
Transfer Station waste is transported)
12 32 percent of increase Due to new required diversion equipment and additional operating
costs"
20 percent of increase Due to additional transportation fuel costs
10 percent of increase Due to increased'labor costs
13 100 percent
Besides the Unincorporated County, several other entities use the Transfer Station, including the
City of Concord and the City of Pittsburg. Both of these Cities are charged the same$66.25 per ton
Transfer Station service rate. Also self--haul customers will be charged this same Transfer Station
service rate. We recon nnend that the County allow this $5.75 per ton, 9.5 percent, increase in
uncontrolled Transfer Station costs.

Ms. Deidri Dingman Page 7
June 30, 2008
For comparability purposes, a total of six other neighboring disposal facilities were surveyed for
their service rates..Tip E)Ing fee rates for self-haul weighed loads are shown below:
11 Davis Transfer Station (Oakland) —$110.00.per ton
Berkeley Transfer Station (Berkeley) — $105.00 per ton
West County LandfilUTransfer Station (Richmond) —$75.25 per ton
Contra Costa"Transfer.& Recover Station (Martinez) — $68.00 per ton
12 Pleasanton Transfer Station (Pleasanton) —$53.00 per ton
Altamont Landfill- $55.50 per ton.
These rates average $77.79 per ton for weighed loads. Our disposal facility survey confirms that the
$66.25 per ton tipping fee rate charged at the Pittsburg Transfer Station is still below average of
weighed tipping fee rates charged to self-haul customers at other neighboring disposal facilities.
D. Rate Recommendations
Based on our Application review, extraordinary worksheet model refinements, and changes in
CPI assumptions,.we recomy area
mend a 6.71 percent rate increase to unincorporated Count
residential and commercial customers. The corresponding residential rates are shown below in Table
1 (and oil page 1 of the.NewPoint Annotated Worksheet).
This rate increase represents an average of$1.81 per customer, per month, increase for 40-gallon
County customers, and a $.1.47 per customer, per month, increase for 20-gallon customers. All
Customers pay an additional $3 per customer, per month, for a 90-gallon toter rental.
Attachment I shows a graph of residential solid waste Unincorporated County rate increases for
the past six years. From 2003 through 2008, assuming our recommended rate increase of 6.71
percent, residential County rate increases have averaged 4.57 percent.
Tlae NewPoint Group recommended rate increase of 6.71 percent is less than the 8.58 percent
rate increase requested by Garaventa in its revised Application. The NewPoint Group recommended
rate increase is comprised of a 5.05 percent rate increase for the interim year Application, and a 1.66
percent rate increase for extraordinary fuel costs (5.05% .+ 1.66% = 6.71%). The Garaventa total
percentage rate increase request was comprised of a 5.56 percent rate increase for the interim year,
and a 2.72 percent rate increase for the extraordinary fuel cost request (5.86% + 2.72% = 8.58%).
