HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 12042012 - C.71RECOMMENDATION(S):
AUTHORIZE the Director of Conservation & Development, or designee, to negotiate terms of a franchise agreement
extension with Allied Waste Services of Contra Costa County for solid waste and recycling collection in the
unincorporated areas presently served through this agreement, and present for consideration by the Board of
Supervisors in 2013.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The department's cost to negotiate potential terms for an amendment to the franchise would be funded with solid
waste collection franchise fees and will not impact the County General Fund.
BACKGROUND:
Allied Waste Services of Contra Costa County (AWS), a Republic Services company previously known as Pleasant
Hill Bayshore Disposal, has a franchise agreement with the County for solid waste and recycling collection which
expires in 2015. AWS provides refuse, recycling and green-waste collection services for commercial and residential
accounts in the County designated service area. The AWS franchise agreement service area falls within portions of
all Supervisorial Districts

Agreement
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
and includes the following communities:
• Alhambra Valley (portion)
• Bay Point (portion)
• Canyon
• Clyde • Concord, unincorporated (portion)
• Morgan Territory
• Pacheco
• Pleasant Hill, unincorporated
The Board recently approved a 10-year extension to the County franchise agreement with Garaventa Enterprises
(originally approved in May 1995) which was also set to expire in 2015, covering most of unincorporated East
County, including the portion of Bay Point not served by AWS. The other large 20-year County franchise agreement,
covering most of unincorporated West County, has a term ending in 2013 (Richmond Sanitary Service). That
franchise agreement includes an option to extend for 10 years.
On January 25, 2011, the Board of Supervisors directed the Conservation & Development Department to request
direction from the Board regarding each County solid waste and recycling collection agreement three years before
the applicable agreement expires.
Staff is requesting authorization to negotiate with AWS to identify possible terms for a franchise agreement
amendment, including the duration of any extension that would potentially be proposed, for consideration by the
Board of Supervisors in 2013. If the Board of Supervisors prefers that an alternate collection company be identified
to begin providing these franchised collection services when the current agreement ends on July 31, 2015, DCD staff
will need to begin initial phase of the formal bid process immediately, otherwise, this process would not be concluded
until after the expiration of this agreement.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County would need to dedicate resources to identifying and negotiating with an alternate service provider,
presumably involving a formal bid process, for the area being served under the Allied Waste Services franchise.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
NONE.
