Title
Discussion of franchise agreement highlights for residential waste collection service for non-exempted unincorporated areas in Lake County.
Staff Summary
• As part of the landscape waste open burning and landscape waste disposal discussion over the past 2 years at the PWPT Committee, staff identified residential waste franchising (including landscape waste hauling) in non-exempted unincorporated areas as a practical opportunity to provide residents an alternative to open burning of landscape waste.
• Per Committee direction, a Request for Proposal was extended to 14 vendors, and sealed proposals were received from 4 vendors, while 1 vendor was determined to be non-responsive.
• Based on the criteria set forth in the Request for Proposals, the evaluation committee selected two vendors as the most favorable proposals. Vendor 1 will service the northwestern and northeastern quadrants of Lake County and Vendor 2 will service the southwestern and southeastern quadrants of Lake County. Waste collection services would start June 1, 2022.
• Staff will discuss key details from the waste hauling franchise agreements and bring those agreements forward to PWPT and F&A for action on January 5, 2022, and January 6, 2022, respectively.
