COMMUNICATION FROM THE CHAIR AND MEMBER, ENERGY
AND ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE, relative to terminating the
Removing Barriers to Recycling (RBR) Program component of the
RecycLA solid resources franchise hauling contracts.
SUBMITS WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION the following
recommendations of the City Administrative Officer (CAO):
1. FIND that the City cannot continue funding the RBR Program.
2. INSTRUCT the Bureau of Sanitation (BOS) to:
a. Terminate the RBR Program provision of the RecycLA
personal services contracts for exclusive franchise
commercial and multi-family solid resources collecting and
hauling for all 11 zones Citywide, encompassing the
following agreements:
i. Arakelian Enterprises, Inc. dba Athens Services (C-
128879)
ii. Consolidated Disposal Service, LLC dba Republic
Services (C-128880)
iii. Universal Waste Systems, Inc. (UWS) (C-128881)
iv. USA Waste of California, Inc. dba Waste
Management (C-128878)
v. CalMet Services, Inc. (CalMet) (C-128875)
vi. NASA Services, Inc. (NASA) (C-128876)
vii. Ware Disposal, Inc. (Ware) (C-128877)
b. Provide written notice of termination to the RecycLA
service providers with termination of the RBR to occur on
January 31, 2027, upon the anticipated expiration date of
the current contracts listed above, with notice to occur at
least one calendar year prior to the effective termination
date.
c. Complete all audits of the RBR Program, address any
discrepancies including any reimbursements owed to the
City, issue liquidated damages as appropriate, and pursue
the resolution of outstanding liquidated damages owed by
current RecycLA service providers through the RBR
payment reconciliation process and other means, as
necessary, prior to the termination of the contracts on
January 31, 2027.
Fiscal Impact Statement: The City Administrative Officer (CAO)
reports that adoption of the above recommendations would activate a
required one-year notice period for RecycLA service providers to
terminate the RBR Program by January 31, 2027 and could mitigate
costs to the Citywide Recycling Trust Fund (CRTF) by up to $2.49
million per month should new waste collection contracts not be in
place by February 1, 2027, which may then result in an equal amount
of savings to the General Fund in reduced subsidies and
appropriations required to support CRTF obligations in 2026-27.
Adoption of the above recommendation to instruct the BOS to seek
any owed reimbursements and resolve outstanding liquidated
damages due to the City prior to the expiration of the current RecycLA
contracts may result in additional revenue to the CRTF and further
reduce its reliance on the General Fund, impacts of which are
unknown at this time.
Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that the above
recommendations pursue compliance with the City's Financial
Policies in that, to the extent possible, current operations will be
funded by current revenues, and that special funds are to reimburse
the General Fund for all direct expenditures and related costs
provided to support their programs. |
