AGENDA REPORT
TO: James Antonen, City Manager
FROM: Shann Finwall, Environmental Manager
Alan Kantrud, City Attorney
Charles Ahl, Assistant City Manager
DATE: September 30, 2011
SUBJECT: Trash Collection System Analysis – Review of Trash Collection
System Proposals
INTRODUCTION
On September 13, 2011, the Trash Hauling Working Group ranked the six responses received
by the City in response to the Comprehensive, Residential Trash Collection System Request for
Proposal (RFP). As a result of the Working Group’s careful proposal evaluations, Allied Waste
Services (“Allied”) was ranked as the number one proposer.
On September 26, 2011, the Trash Hauling Working Group recommended that the City Council
authorize staff to negotiate with Allied for city-wide residential trash collection services. The City
Council tabled the item until October 10, 2011, and requested a City Council Workshop to be
held on October 5. The purpose of the workshop is to allow all City Council Members an
opportunity to review the proposals, not just the City Council Members who were part of the
Trash Hauling Working Group.
As part of an RFP procurement process, the Council has been provided a staff report and all
attachments. These documents are considered confidential and will be reviewed by the Mayor
and City Council only. Alan Kantrud, City Attorney, has given his legal opinion on the release of
these documents to the City Council. It is anticipated that the Council will review and discuss
each of the proposals, as well as the standards of the original Request for Proposals [RFP] and
will refer to each proposal by reference letter or number and not discuss the individual
responses.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council review the proposals received for a Residential Trash
Collection System . No action will be taken as part of this Work Session.
