Mr. Enrique, Sloan Vazquez responded in the affirmative and stated that the single - pass collection system had not been considered due to it being tried and eventually abandoned because it actually creates more trips because of the different weighted trash items and the collection volume of those items. He stated that few cities practice that system mostly due to it being politically driven rather than efficiency driven. He stated that there is an alternate single -pass collection system whereby the trash materials are not separated until taken to a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF). He stated that in the commercial proposal there is an option for a dirty MRF processing. He indicated that the City would have to implement the programs committed with the State. Mr. Joe Sloan, Sloan Vazquez, stated that there are numerous Bay Area cities that use the single -pass collection system and that it would be most efficient if there was a location in the middle of the collection area where both payloads could be dumped. He commented that past practice indicated that waste division of the single -pass collection system was highly inaccurate, creating additional trips. Mayor Mills commented that the City of Oakland has had success and money savings with the single -pass collection system. Council Member Narain asked about the timeframe of the two citywide household hazardous waste collection events. Mr. Vazquez responded that there would be two household hazardous waste collection events per year. Council Member Narain asked about e-waste collection for single - family dwellings. Mr. Sloan responded that e-waste is included in the bulky item collection section. Mr. Vazquez stated that the term bulky item has become a common phrase to include e -waste and items that cannot be disposed of with the regular trash. Council Member Narain stated that in the workshop discussion, e-waste was not part of bulky item pick -up and should be a separate item. Council Member Narain stated that he has found discrepancies with the RFP, and asked if City staff had reviewed it. Mr. Sloan stated that the City Council has been provided with Sloan Vazquez's best professional opinion and that they would proceed as directed. He stated that e-waste disposal could be listed and cost separately in the RFP. Mr. Vazquez clarified that bulky item pick -up is a service to single - family dwellings and that multi - family dwellings are listed as an additional charge proposal. He clarified that the RFP presented to the City Council tonight is not a final document, and that the City Council has the opportunity to provide input and direction at this time. Council Member Narain stated that there are 12 bulky item pick -ups per year and that e -waste collection could be for small items. Council Member Bailey asked Council Member Narain if his desire is to have bulky item collection regularly or curb -side service for e- waste. Council Member Narain suggested that e-waste collections be held on a more regular schedule yearly such as once a quarter. 5 264 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 28, 2014 Mr. Vazquez stated that e-waste could be done in conjunction with the twice yearly hazardous waste roundup or more frequently, if City Council so desires. Council Member Yarc stated that it was discussed previously that e-waste collections would not be done too frequently as to allow fundraising e-waste collection opportunities for the non - profit organizations. Council Member Narain asked about the non - profit organizations working cooperatively with the trash hauler. Mr. Vazquez stated that many trash haulers have their own arrangements and agreements for working with the non - profit organizations. Council Member Narain requested that a twice per year e-waste collection be included with the hazardous waste collection, as per Section 3.1.1.5 Household Hazardous Waste Collection. Mayor Pro Tem Johnson asked about enhancements that were discussed at the workshop such as extra trucks and impact fees. Mr. Vazquez indicated that the City Council should clarify their desires with regard to enhancements, as per Section 3.12.4 Annual Roadway Maintenance Fee. Council Member Yarc stated that she has concerns with the Annual Roadway Maintenance Fee and the Annual Water Pollution Prevent Fee, and stated that they look as though they are hidden taxes to citizens. She stated that some are necessary and that she has asked Sloan Vazquez to find out what local cities are doing about these taxes. She stated that the former contract had a franchise fee based on a percentage for commercial and residential. She stated that it appears that it would now be a flat fee and that the City would receive $560,000 per year as a franchise fee, which seems high but is what was received last year in order to cover incidental expenses incurred by the City related to the trash such as staff time and street damage, and that it is customary in most cities' contracts. She stated that there would be an administrative fee in that the City would be paid $125,000 to reimburse for this process and a billing reimbursement of $28,000. Council Member Yarc stated that Section 3.12.3 Annual Compliance and Performance Audit Fee indicates that the City shall pay $25,000 annually for a potential audit, which has not been done for several years. She stated that as a City Council Member she has no objection to the City obtaining monies for the benefit of the community, however as a resident she has concerns with the fees. She stated that the roadway fee would be $156,250 annually in addition to the annual $54,750 water pollution prevention fee. She commented that the City would be making $800,000 plus annually and asked if those fees would be rolled into residential rates. Mr. Sloan stated that the fees would be rolled into the service costs. He indicated that the roadway maintenance fee and the water pollution prevention fee are not unusual and that there are municipalities that have invoked those fees. He commented that none of the adjoining cities have that fee, however the cities of Fountain Valley and Brea have both of the fees, along with several cities in the Bay Area. Council Member Yarc asked if the fees were in the last contract. Mr. Sloan responded no, and indicated that it is anticipated that the rates would be favorable due to the competitive process, and that if the franchise fees remained the same, it would be a significant revenue decrease to the City. He assured that the $560,000 franchise fee is average among Orange County cities and that roadway fee and water pollution prevention fee amounts are placeholders in lieu of single -axle payload calculations that would have to be done based on real time data which would not be determined until the hauler selection has been made. The City Attorney stated that the roadway fee was a staff motivated item and that concerns were raised with regard to an adverse impact on the life of City streets. He spoke of a study done by another consultant, whereby the impact calculations were 6 265 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 28, 2014 266 measured. He stated that is it not a hidden tax of Cypress residents who are paying for street maintenance to have a fee built into its rate structure in order to maintain a certain level of service. He indicated that this fee is intended to be a revenue neutral measure to cover the costs of the impact of multiple trucks on a weekly basis on City streets in order to source recycle. Council Member Bailey stated that he did attend the workshop and that a lot of time was spent on the evaluation criteria and that alternative evaluation percentages were presented by Council Member Narain. He indicated that Council Member Narain also presented the alternative franchise fee, and that he does not remember discussing a roadway fee or a water pollution prevention fee. He stated that he does not support the establishment of a separate new fee, however he would support encompassing all of the fees as a franchise fee. Council Member Yarc indicated that she was informed that the $560,000 franchise fee would be for the roadways and that it would cover incidental costs related to the franchise contract. She stated that her understanding was that price would be the number one priority with State regulation compliance the next priority. The City Attorney stated that at the conclusion of the workshop, traffic impact fees were discussed. He clarified that the contract would increase from two trucks every other week to three trucks every week and that there would be significant impact on the roadways. He stated that the cost of that many trucks be included into the franchise fee, however in terms of transparency, a scientific analysis is recommended. He stated that for an estimated $7,500 an independent study could be done to measure the roadway impact. The Interim City Manager clarified that the increase in the franchise fee is due to doubling the number of truck vehicle miles on residential streets and that $560,000 includes administration for street work, and that there would be additional costs to the City. He stated that the question is how to pay for that additional annual cost impact. Mayor Pro Tem Johnson asked about fuel sales tax that is used for roads, and the monetary benefits of Measure M2. The City Attorney responded that that net income would be part of the calculation from which the roadway impact would be measured. Council Member Narain asked if the fees would be revenue neutral or profitable for the City, or if they are unnecessary charges. The Interim City Manager replied that the goal is to be cost neutral, whereby the revenues and the costs would match up. He stated that there may be times that the City makes money and that the audit may cost more than the $25,000 annual set aside. He stated that the roadway fee and water pollution prevention fee are based on costs with an analysis depicting that there is a cost attached to those fees. Council Member Bailey commented that the numbers are place holders and that consideration should be given to allow for amendments to the franchise fee. He expressed concerns with the establishment of two new forms of fees which still does not address the administrative fee. He stated that Sloan Vazquez's fee was originally $75,000 and now it appears to be $125,000, and he asked about the additional $50,000. The City Attorney stated that the administrative fee includes the consultant's hours, staff hours, and City Attorney hours. Mr. Sloan stated that $50,000 has been added into the administrative fee that is not being paid to Sloan Vazquez for staff hours and City Attorney hours. He stated that, prior to the workshop, the Public Works Director requested consideration for roadway impact fees that were erroneously omitted by Sloan Vazquez. He stated that the City Council could choose to include or not include the impact fees. 7 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 28, 2014 Council Member Yarc expressed concern with justifying new charges and that no other surrounding cities have those charges which would be incurred by the residents. The Interim City Manager clarified that following staff's review of the proposals, Sloan Vazquez would be expected to incorporate into the final proposal amendments such as sales tax language, impact fees, and the park facilities to be serviced. He stated that possible concerns include matching up a City contract with this contract as it relates to liability, and requested that Sloan Vazquez provide an explanation as to blank areas in the proposal for liquidated damages. He stated that after conferring with the City Attorney, that further changes be permitted prior to the release of the final document. The City Attorney stated that the RFP has been refined and that it is brought to the City Council for consideration of additions and deletions, and that the language needs to be strengthened. He stated that attached to the Agenda Report is a sample franchise agreement that would have to be negotiated with a successful collector. He indicated that there is a standard form agreement typically used in professional services agreements with two provisions of a standard service agreement that are not found in the collection agreement that the City Council should be aware of. He indicated that a professional services vendor would be required to provide errors and omissions insurance, which would not be required of this type of service. He stated that it is standard in agreements that there be a termination for convenience provision and that the consultant is recommending against it, of which he does not object, however it is important for the City Council to be aware of. The City Attorney indicated that if the City Council has concerns with add -on fees and possible adverse effects, the City Council could direct the consultant to amend the RFP except for the basic franchise fee to indicate that the City is considering imposing a fee for the services, what the proposed fee would be and the basis for the calculation. He stated that these numbers are not intended to be profit making for the City and that there will be a Proposition 218 process in an abundance of caution. He stated that the City Council has the final decision with regard to impact fees, and that if the City Council is in general pleased with the RFP, a motion should be made to release it subject to City staff and the City Attorney working with the consultant on final language, with a section added for residential e- waste, deletion or rewording of the section regarding audit fees and traffic impact fees to consider them conceptually without proposing a dollar amount. He indicated that the City Council could request that the process be started over, if that is within their purview. Council Member Bailey recommended the removal of Section 3.12.4 Annual Roadway Maintenance Fee and Section 3.12.5 Annual Water Pollution Prevention Fee, and the amendment of Section 3.12.3 Annual Compliance and Performance Audit Fee to include verbiage that if an audit was to be done, those costs would be incurred by the hauler. He expressed concern with the one -time $125,000 reimbursement to the City for its staff time and out -of- pocket costs incurred in awarding this franchise, as stated in Section 3.12.1 Administrative Fee. The City Attorney responded that if the City Council is not willing to recover staff time, there could be a fee to negotiate reimbursement of City staff time that would be billed separately, with the City made whole from all of its out -of- pocket costs associated with the procurement process. Mayor Mills stated that the sections add a breakdown of cost visibility and that he disagrees with their elimination. Council Member Yarc clarified that the City Attorney's suggestion was for the franchise fee to remain the same and that she agreed with the City Attorney's language suggestions. She stated that she does not want the rates affected by costs. Mayor Mills asked for clarification on the City Attorney's language with regard to the single - family dwelling billing reimbursement and the annual compliance performance audit. 8 267 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 28, 2014 268 The City Attorney responded that his language suggestion would be, "the City anticipates an annual audit" and not delete the paragraphs. He clarified that the questions to the hauler would be if they were willing to pay for such an audit and what a reasonable fee would be. Mayor Mills agreed to the City Attorney's suggested language. The City Attorney stated that the additional fees could be rewritten in more generic terms and Sloan Vazquez could state what the fees would be if added to the rate. Mr. Vazquez stated that they agree with having Section 3.12.4 Annual Roadway Maintenance Fee and Section 3.12.5 Annual Water Pollution Prevention Fee as potential offers by the proposers. He stated that if a cost is known it is beneficial to state it in the proposal so that it could be priced better. He encouraged real pricing and that if the pricing is not known, then the proposer could offer a proposal. Council Member Yarc asked for clarification on the memorandum regarding anticipated roadway costs from the Public Works Director. The Public Works Director stated that costs were not calculated and that there are concerns with the impact of trash trucks on the residential roads, and that the arterials are designed for heavy -duty truck impacts. He spoke of the importance of conducting an impact analysis at a cost of $7,500 and stated that approximately $800,000 is budgeted in the City's General Fund for preventative residential road maintenance. Council Member Bailey asked about the road impacts from trash trucks versus large mail package delivery trucks. The Public Works Director replied that a trash truck is equivalent to 9,400 cars and a large package delivery truck is equivalent to 442 cars. Council Member Yarc asked what the current franchise fees are used towards. The Interim City Manager stated that a portion of the franchise fees go towards the $800,000 annual residential street maintenance. Council Member Bailey asked about gas tax funds. The Interim City Manager stated that gas tax funds are used for the arterial roads. The Public Works Director stated that most of the gas tax funds and Measure M2 funds are used for arterial roads and that the residential component of the dedicated General Fund has helped to keep the roads maintained. He stated that the proposed impact fees would merely be preservation of the roads. Council Member Bailey stated that he is not receptive to Section 3.12.4 Annual Roadway Maintenance Fee and Section 3.12.5 Annual Water Pollution Prevention Fee. He stated that those fees should be included within the franchise fee. The City Attorney clarified that the City Council would authorize the consultant to issue the RFP with the incorporated additional comments from staff and legal counsel, including semi - annual residential e-waste events. He stated that Section 3.12.1 Administrative Fee would be rewritten so that the City recovers its out -of- pocket costs; Section 3.12.2 Franchise Fee would remain the same; Section 3.12.3 Single Family Dwelling Billing Reimbursement would remain the same; Annual Compliance and Performance Audit Fee shall be rewritten generically to include that the City is considering a semi - annual or periodic audit of compliance with the franchise agreement, if so, what amount would be contributed towards the cost of the audit; Section 3.12.14 Annual Roadway Maintenance Fee would indicate that the City conduct an impact study of three trash trucks weekly on residential streets and is considering imposing a maintenance fee, and if the proposer would be willing to reimburse the City its actual impact costs as calculated, and if yes, how much would be contributed towards that; and Section 3.12.5 Annual Water Pollution Prevention Fee could be rewritten generically to state that the City is considering the fee and if the proposer 9 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 28, 2014 269 would be willing to reimburse the City its actual impact costs as calculated, and if yes, how much would be contributed. Council Member Bailey suggested that Section 3.12.3 Annual Compliance and Performance Audit Fee include verbiage that the hauler shall pay the audit fee and that the audit be done every three years as per the RFP. The City Attorney responded in the affirmative. Mayor Mills asked if Sloan Vazquez understood the City Attorney's language amendments. Mr. Vazquez responded in the affirmative. The City Attorney stated that the agreement states that only minor changes would be made to the franchise agreement and that it may change depending upon City Council direction. He stated that this is a template subject to detail negotiations upon award of contract. Mr. Vazquez stated that the contract would be subject to negotiations and that if it is substantial, the proposer may respond with a proposal modification. The City Attorney stated that that would be a risk the proposer runs if there are substantial modifications. Mr. Vazquez stated that a termination for convenience and errors and omission is not recommended because the language states that the City may terminate in six years without reason and that pricing beyond that timeframe would not be obtained. The City Attorney responded that it is acceptable to the City. Mayor Mills asked if the errors with regard to the paragraph numbering would be corrected. Mr. Vazquez responded in the affirmative, and stated that they have done a quality check on all of the references and numbering. It was moved by Council Member Narain and seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Johnson, that the City Council approve the Solid Waste and Recycling Services Request for Proposal (RFP), as amended, and authorize the solid waste and recycling services consulting firm, Sloan Vazquez, to release the RFP to solicit responses.

She stated that this would be a Federal crime and that incidents should be reported to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration.
