Solid Waste Collection Services Agreement Dated: July 1, 2019
This Agreement for the Provision of Residential and Commercial Solid Waste, Recyclable
Materials and Organics Collection Services ("Agreement") in entered into this 7th Day of May, by and
between the City of Beaumont, a general law city and municipal corporation in the State of California,
("CITY") and USA Waste of California Inc., a Delaware Corporation, doing business as Waste
Management of the Inland Empire, ("CONTRACTOR") on the terms and conditions set forth herein. CITY
and CONTRACTOR may be referred to herein individually as a "Party" or collectively as the "Parties".
RECITALS
A. Article XI, § 7 of the California Constitution authorizes cities to protect public health and
safety by taking measures in furtherance of their authority over police and sanitary matters; and
B. The Legislature of the State of California, by enactment of the California Integrated
Waste Management Act of 1989, ("AB 939" or the "Act") (codified at Public Resources Code §§ 4000 et
seq.) established a solid waste management process which requires cities and other local jurisdictions to
implement plans for source reduction, reuse and recycling as integrated waste management practices for
solid waste attributed to sources within their respective jurisdictions; and
C. The Act provides that aspects of solid waste handling of local concern include but are not
limited to frequency of collection, means of collection and transportation, level of services, charges and
fees, and nature, location and extent of providing solid waste services; and
D. The Act confers discretion on cities to provide for the delivery of refuse services to its
residents by the CITY itself providing the services or by the CITY conferring the authority to do so on
private profit-making entities and when cities confer the authority to provide refuse services on private
profit-making entities; cities are authorized to do so by means which include the award of a nonexclusive,
partially exclusive or wholly exclusive franchise, contract, license or otherwise; and
E. The City of Beaumont's Municipal Code implements Article XI, § 7 of the California
Constitution and the Act in the City of Beaumont and protects public health and safety by authorizing the
City Council to provide refuse service itself or to award one or more franchises, permits or licenses to
provide that service; and
F. The City Council has determined, in the exercise of its legislative discretion, that it is in
the best interests of the CITY and its residents for the CITY to franchise comprehensive refuse service to
a private enterprise with the special skills, knowledge, facilities and other capabilities to ensure a high
level of service and compliance with the existing statutory and regulatory requirements; and
G. The City Council during its regular meeting of May 7, 2019 approved the award of an
exclusive franchise agreement for comprehensive refuse services with CONTRACTOR because the City
Council determined, in the exercise of its legislative discretion, that CONTRACTOR would continue to
provide high quality services to Service Recipients; and
H. CITY and CONTRACTOR are mindful of the provisions of the laws governing the safe
collection, transport, recycling and disposal of residential and commercial Solid Waste, including AB 939,
Page 6 of 114
RI V #4843-5984-1173 v2
Solid Waste Collection Services Agreement Dated: July 1, 2019
the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA"), 42 U.S.C. §§ 6901 et seq., the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), 42 U.S.C. §§ 9601 et. seq.; the
Electronic Waste Recycling Act of 2003 (SB 20, Sher, Chapter 526, Statutes of 2003; SB 50, Sher,
Chapter 863, Statutes of 2004; AB 575, Wolke, Chapter 59, Statutes of 2011), laws governing Universal
Waste, including, but not limited to, Universal Waste Electronics Devices ("UWED"), non -empty aerosol
cans, fluorescent tubes, high intensity discharge lamps, sodium vapor lamps, and any other lamp
exhibiting a characteristic of a hazardous waste, batteries (rechargeable nickel -cadmium batteries, silver
button batteries, mercury batteries, small sealed lead acid batteries [burglar alarm and emergency light
batteries] alkaline batteries, carbon -zinc batteries and any other batteries which exhibit the characteristic
of a hazardous waste), mercury thermometers, mercury -containing switches; and
I. CITY and CONTRACTOR desire to leave no doubts as to their respective roles and to
make it clear that by entering into this Agreement, CITY is not thereby becoming a "generator" or an
"arranger" as those terms are used in the context of CERCLA § 107(a)(3) and that it is CONTRACTOR,
an independent entity, not CITY, which will arrange to collect Solid Waste from SFD, MFD, CITY and
Commercial Service Units in the City of Beaumont, transport for recycling and disposal and dispose of
Solid Wastes which may contain small amounts of household products with the characteristics of
hazardous wastes, collect and compost Organic Waste and collect and recycle Recyclable Materials from
SFD, MFD, CITY, and Commercial Service Units in the City of Beaumont, and collect and recycle or
dispose of Construction and Demolition Materials; and
J. There are no places within the City limits of the City of Beaumont where landfills are
located, or which are suitable for the siting of a landfill and therefore Solid Waste must be exported from
the City; and
K. CITY and CONTRACTOR agree that it is CONTRACTOR, and not CITY, which will select
the landfill or transformation facility destination of the non -recyclable residential and commercial Solid
Waste and Construction and Demolition Materials which Contractor will arrange to collect, that CITY has
not, and by this Agreement does not, instruct CONTRACTOR on its collection methods, nor supervise
CONTRACTOR in the collection of waste and nothing in this Agreement or other action of the CITY shall
be construed to give rise to any inference that the CITY has any title, ownership or right of possession of
such Solid Waste; and
L. CONTRACTOR represents and warrants to CITY that CONTRACTOR has the
experience and qualifications to conduct recycling and waste diversion programs, to provide CITY with
information sufficient to meet the CITY's reporting requirements to CalRecycle and other agencies under
the Act, to meet CITY's other requirements under the Act, to arrange with persons in charge of day-to-day
activities of Service Units in the City of Beaumont for the collection, safe transport and disposal of Solid
Wastes which may contain small amounts of household products with the characteristics of Hazardous
Wastes, in a safe manner which shall minimize the adverse effects of collection vehicles on air quality
and traffic, and that CONTRACTOR has the ability to indemnify CITY in accordance with this Agreement;
and
M. The City Council of the City of Beaumont determines and finds pursuant to California
Public Resources Code § 40059(a)(1) that the public interest, health, safety and well-being, including the
Page 7 of 114
RIV #4843-5984-1173 v2
Solid Waste Collection Services Agreement Dated: July 1, 2019
minimization of adverse impacts on air quality and traffic from excessive numbers of collection vehicles,
the implementation of measures consistent with the City's Source Reduction and Recycling Component,
and in an effort to reduce the CITY's potential CERCLA liability, would be served if CONTRACTOR were
to be awarded an exclusive Franchise for collection, recycling, diversion and disposal of Solid Waste from
Service Units in the City of Beaumont; and
N. Previously, CITY and CONTRACTOR entered into that "Agreement between City of
Beaumont and Waste Management of Inland Valley, A division of Waste Management Collection and
Recycling, Inc.," with term commencing March 1, 1997, for solid waste collection services, as amended
on June 19, 2001, October 7, 2003, and December 21, 2010 (collectively "Prior Agreements"). The
Parties agree that solid waste collection services shall continue to be provided by CONTRACTOR under

resume pursuant to this Agreement as of 12:00 a.m. July 1, 2019 ("Effective Date") at which time the

be controlling.

referred to as the CIWMB) review every four years, while those jurisdictions not meeting the 50 percent
diversion requirement would continue to be reviewed by CalRecycle every two years.
1.62 SB 1383. State of California Senate Bill 1383, approved September 19, 2016
mandates a fifty percent (50%) reduction in disposal of Organic Materials from the 2014 levels by 2020
and seventy-five percent (75%) by 2025. According to CalRecycle's 2014 Waste Characterization Study,
approximately 20 million tons of organics were disposed in 2014. For the SB 1383 mandates, this
translates to a requirement to limit disposal of organics to roughly 10 million tons by January 1, 2020. A
seventy-five percent (75%) reduction from the 2014 level requires California to limit disposal to roughly
five (5) million tons of organics annually on and after 2025. Further, SB 1383 requires CalRecycle's
regulations to include requirements designed to improve the recovery of edible food that is currently
landfilled by twenty percent (20%) by 2025.

service level. However, in the event that Service Recipients are found to habitually overflow their Solid
Waste Cart(s), Bin(s) or Roll -Off Container(s), CONTRACTOR may take the steps as listed below to
correct Service Recipient's on-going overflow of Solid Waste.
3.10.1.1 Prior Arrangements for Collection. If the Service Recipient has
made prior arrangements with CONTRACTOR for collection of Solid Waste Overages, CONTRACTOR
Page 25 of 114
RIV #4843-5984-1173 v2
Solid Waste Collection Services Agreement Dated: July 1, 2019
must collect such overages as arranged, and may charge the Service Recipient the Solid Waste Overage
fee (prior arrangement) rate set forth in Exhibit 1.
3.10.1.2 No Prior Arrangements. If the Service Recipient has not made
prior arrangements with CONTRACTOR for collection of Solid Waste Overage, (i) CONTRACTOR may
collect such Solid Waste Overage at no additional charge as a courtesy, (ii) CONTRACTOR may not
collect the Solid Waste Overage and leave a Non -Collection Notice explaining the reason for non -
collection of the Solid Waste Overage, (c) CONTRACTOR may collect the Solid Waste Overage and
charge the Service Recipient the Solid Waste Overage fee (no prior arrangement) rate set forth in Exhibit
1 as provided below, or increase the capacity or frequency of collection of the existing Cart(s), Bin(s) and
Roll -Off Container(s) to match documented service needs as provided below. In managing Solid Waste
Overages, the following apply:
3.10.2 SFD Service Recipients.
3.10.2.1 Each Occurrence. For each occurrence CONTRACTOR will not
collect the Solid Waste Overage and CONTRACTOR must provide the following written notice (via e-mail,
U.S. mail, or in person (which may be by Non -Collection Notice) to the Service Recipient: (i) the date,
description and photograph of the Solid Waste Overage. CONTRACTOR's Non -Collection Notice for
SFD Service Recipients shall also contain instructions on (a) how to schedule a Large Item Collection or
(b) request an additional Cart to eliminate future Overages.
3.10.3 Commercial and MFD Service Recipients.
3.10.3.1 Each Occurrence. CONTRACTOR must provide a written notice

CONTRACTOR's representative must also contact the Service Recipient by phone, U.S. mail, e-mail or in
person (which may be by Non -Collection Notice) to ensure that Service Recipient has the appropriate
level of service. CONTRACTOR must notify CITY within ten (10) Business Days of any changes in
Service Recipient's Cart, Bin or Roll -Off Container size or collection frequency. The increased capacity or
collection frequency will remain in effect until CONTRACTOR determines that it is no longer needed to
prevent overages, which may be longer than the one Calendar Year stated above. Such determination
will be in CONTRACTOR's sole but reasonable discretion and will be subject to the dispute resolution
procedure set forth below. CITY will consider, and pursue as applicable, appropriate legal remedies
against offending Service Recipients in order to secure discontinuance of the overages. All CITY costs of
such action shall be recoverable from the offending Service Recipients.

CITY, all required information, reports, notices, and materials including without limitation, the report
required by Health & Safety Code section 5473, the notices required by Health & Safety Code section
5473.1, and paying for any publication costs. In addition, should CITY's City Attorney or special counsel,
determine that placement of eligible delinquencies on the tax roll also required CITY to comply with the
requirements of Proposition 218 and implementing legislation and court decisions (hereinafter "PROP
218), then CONTRACTOR shall timely prepare, at no cost to CITY, all required information, report,
Page 28 of 114
RIV #4843-5984-1173 v2
Solid Waste Collection Services Agreement Dated: July 1, 2019
notices and materials necessary to comply with PROP 218. CITY agrees that it shall within sixty (60)
days after the Effective Date of this Agreement adopt the necessary ordinance authorizing collection of
eligible delinquent SFD Service Recipients on the tax roll, and to hold all hearings, timely publish all
notices, and timely make all filings, required under the above sections, provided CONTRACTOR has
timely provided the required information, reports, notices and materials to CITY. For the purposes of this
section, an "qualifying delinquency" is an SFD Service Recipients that is at least sixty (60) days in arrears
and for which CONTRACTOR has provided at least one written notice delivered to the service recipient

the Riverside County property tax roll, and shall pay CONTRACTOR money collected from payment of
the delinquency, less the CITY's cost to administer the tax roll lien process.
4.04.2 CONTRACTOR's Reservation of Legal Rights and Remedies.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, CONTRACTOR reserves its right to, and may take such action as is
legally available to collect or cause collection of such past due amounts. Provided however, that
CONTRACTOR must not discontinue Collection Services on any SFD Service Unit; either (1) in the event
that CONTRACTOR has elected not to pursue the procedure described in section 4.04 above and
CONTRACTOR has received the express written permission of the Agreement Administrator; or (2) in the
event that CONTACTOR has elected to pursue the procedure described in section 4.04 above, but there
is a valid and successful protest hearing as provided in Health & Safety Code section 5473.2 rendering
the CITY legally unable to pursue placing and collecting qualifying delinquencies on the tax roll in any
particular year or years. CONTRACTOR may cease provision of Collection Services to any MFD Service
Unit or Commercial Service Unit due to non-payment, including late fees and interest in the amounts set
forth in Exhibit 1, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Service Recipient and the Agreement
Administrator. Collection of delinquent MFD and Commercial Service Recipients shall not be eligible for
placement and collection on the tax roll.
4.05 Adjustments to Maximum Service Rates using Refuse Rate Index (RRI),
4.05.1 Adiustments to SFD Maximum Service Rates July 1. 2019 - June 30. 2024.
4.05.1.1 For the period July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2021, SFD
Maximum Service Rates are firm and fixed as reflected in Exhibit 1, and no adjustments shall be allowed.
4.05.1.2 For the periods July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2024, SFD
Maximum Service Rates may only be adjusted based on documented changes in the County of
Riverside's landfill disposal per ton rate as approved by the Riverside County Board of Supervisors. No
other changes will be allowed to SFD Maximum Service Rates until July 1, 2024 other than pursuant to
Section 4.05.1.3.
Page 29 of 114
RIV #4843-5984-1173 v2
Solid Waste Collection Services Agreement Dated: July 1, 2019
4.05.1.3 For the periods July 1, 2021 through, June 30, 2022, July 1,
2022 through June 30, 2023, and July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024 only if Riverside County increases
the per ton disposal rate, adjustment to SFD Maximum Service Rates can be made as follows:
For each 12 -month period as listed above by April 1st, CONTRACTOR shall provide CITY with
written documentation of the following: (a) Calculating the percentage of the total SFD Maximum Service
Rate directly attributed to landfill disposal per ton tipping fee; (b) subtracting the direct disposal cost from
the total SFD Maximum service Rate, (c) calculating the percentage change in County of Riverside
approved per ton disposal fee for the prior Agreement Year, (d) calculating the dollar amount adjustment
to the disposal costs by applying the percentage change in disposal costs to the disposal costs, (e)
calculating the new per ton disposal fee for subsequent Agreement Year; and (f) calculating the new SFD
Maximum Service Rates by adding the new disposal cost (e) to the collection cost (b). Below is an
example:
$24.99/month = SFD Maximum Service Rate — 64 -gallon Service Recipient (July 1, 2019 —
June 30, 2021 SFD Maximum Service Rate)
(a) $4.50/month disposal cost = 18% of direct disposal cost of 64 -gallon Service Recipient
(b) $20.49/month = collection/operating costs of 64 -gallon Service Recipient.
(c) 3.5% = the percentage change in the approved Riverside County Disposal per ton tipping
fee for July 1, 2021, July 1, 2022 and July 1, 2023 (July 1, 2021 = $40.00/ton compared to
July 1, 2022 = $41.40/ton.
(d) $0.16/month increased disposal cost/month = 3.5% of $4.50 (old disposal cost).
(e) $4.66/month = new disposal cost by adding the $0.16 (disposal cost increase) + $4.50 (old
disposal cost).
$25.15/month = July 1, 2021 SFD Maximum Service Rate by adding the $20.49
(collection/operating cost) + $4.66 (new disposal cost).
4.05.1.4 Starting July 1, 2024, and each July 1St thereafter, SFD
Maximum Service Rates shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 4.07.
(f)
4.06 Adiustments to MFD and Commercial Maximum Service Rates on July 1 2020. The
MFD and Commercial Maximum Service Rates shall be adjusted on July 1, 2020 and thereafter as
provided in Section 4.07 and following.
4.07 Adjustment of Maximum Service Rates.
4.07.1 Adjustments Using the Refuse Rate Index (RRI). Beginning on July 1, 2020
for MFD and Commercial Service Units and July 1, 2024 for SFD Service Units, and annually thereafter,
CONTRACTOR shall, subject to compliance with all provisions of this Section, be eligible to receive an
annual adjustment to all Maximum Service Rates set forth in Exhibit 1 to this Agreement. The maximum
increase in any one year shall not exceed four percent (4.0%) over the prior reporting period as indicated
by the RRI and the minimum increase shall not be less than one percent (1.0%) over the prior reporting
period as indicated by the RRI. In any year in which the RRI indicates an increase of more than four
percent (4%) ('overage") or an increase of less than one percent (1%) ("underage"), over the last
Page 30 of 114
RIV #4843-5984-1173 v2
Solid Waste Collection Services Agreement Dated: July 1, 2019
reporting period, the amount of overage or underage will not be included in the adjustment for the subject
year nor shall the amount of overage or underage be carried over into any succeeding year.
4.07.2 12 -Month Annual Average. The RRI adjustment shall be the sum of the
weighted percentage changes for all RRI indices. The percentage change in each RRI index shall be
calculated using the change in the 12 -month annual average of RRI index values between the base year,
which shall be the prior preceding 12 -month period ending December 31, and the preceding 12 -month
period ending December 31. Therefore, as applied to the adjustment for Commercial and MFD and by
way of example only, the first RRI adjustment (effective July 1, 2020) for MFD and Commercial Service
Rates will be based on the percentage changes between the average 12 -month index values for the
period of January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019 (the previous year) and the average index values
for the period January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018 (the prior previous year).
4.07.3 The weighted percentage change the RRI index shall be calculated using
the RRI methodology as described below which specifically weights each sub -index for use in the
calculation of RRI:
(a) 48% of the Total Maximum Service Rates to be adjusted by changes in the U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Cost Index Series Id#
CIS20140000000001, all US Cities, not seasonally adjusted.
(b) 40% of the Total Maximum Service Rates to be adjusted by changes in the U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics Commodity Index Series Id# PPI -SW PCU562111, all
US Cities, not seasonally adjusted.
(c) 12% of the Total Maximum Service Rates to be adjusted by changes in the U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics Transportation Industries Series Id#
PCUATRANSATRANS, all US Cities, not seasonally adjusted not seasonally
adjusted.
4.07.3.1 RRI Financial Information. On or before February 1, 2020, and
annually thereafter on February 1st during the Term of this Agreement, CONTRACTOR shall deliver to
CITY financial information and all calculations sufficient to allow the CITY to verify the accuracy of
CONTRACTOR's RRI adjustment.
4.07.4 Rounding. Adjustments to the overall Maximum Service Rates shall be
made only in units of one cent ($0.01). Fractions of less than one cent ($0.01) shall not be considered in
making adjustments. All RRI indices shall be rounded at two (2) decimal places for the adjustment
calculations.
4.08 CITY Verify Calculation of Maximum Service Rates. On or before February 1, 2020,
and annually thereafter during the term of this Agreement, CONTRACTOR shall notify CITY's Agreement
Administrator in writing of the RRI adjustments to the affected Maximum Service rates to take place on
the subsequent July 1St and the calculations such adjustments are derived from. The Agreement
Administrator shall verify the calculations and the adjustment and shall resolve discrepancies in the
calculation or adjustment with CONTRACTOR. The Parties agree that verification of the calculation and
Page 31 of 114
RIV #4843-5984-1173 v2
Solid Waste Collection Services Agreement Dated: July 1, 2019
adjustment by CITY's Agreement Administrator shall constitute an amendment of rate sheets as reflected
in Exhibit 1 of the Agreement. This process shall not apply to Extraordinary Adjustments as provided in
Section 4.10.
4.09 Recyclable Materials Processing and Marketing Adjustment. From July 1, 2019
through June 30, 2020 CONTRACTOR shall determine baseline values for collection, processing and
return to market for recyclable materials collected from CITY for SFD and for Commercial/MFD in the
aggregate, will meet and confer with CITY with regard to these calculations and CITY and
CONTRACTOR will mutually agree to the SFD and Commercial/MDF baseline values ("Baseline
Values"). After July 1, 2024, if CONTRACTOR experiences a positive or negative change of more than
10% in the Baseline Values, CONTRACTOR may request to meet and confer with CITY to discuss
possible adjustments to the Maximum Service Rates not covered under Section 4.07 above.
CONTRACTOR must provide verifiable documentation to the CITY's satisfaction of the change in
Baseline Values if the CITY is to consider any adjustments to the Maximum Service Rates not covered
under Section 4.07. Any such adjustment under this Section 4.09 shall be considered as an Extradentary
Adjustment to Maximum Service Rates as provided for in Section 4.10.
4.10 Extraordinary Adjustment to Maximum Service Rates. In addition to adjustments to
the Maximum Service Rates made in accordance with Section 4.07, CONTRACTOR may petition CITY in
writing in conjunction with the annual rate adjustment application, or at such other times as are
reasonably necessary, but not more often than once during any Agreement Year for an adjustment in the
Maximum Service Rates in the event of a Change in Laws or a negative 10% or more change in the
Baseline Values under section 4.09 above., resulting or reasonably anticipated to result in a material
increase in the cost of services provided under this Agreement or the revenue received from such
services ("Extraordinary Adjustment"). However, such changes shall not include circumstances within the
control of CONTRACTOR, such as changes in the purchase price of new equipment, amounts
reimbursed by insurance companies, rebates of any type, or inaccurate estimates by CONTRACTOR of
its cost of operations.
Extraordinary Adjustments will only be effective after approval by City Council and may not be
applied retroactively.
CONTRACTOR's request for an Extraordinary Adjustment must contain substantial proof and
justification to support the need for the adjustment including a description of the Change in Laws and how
the Change affects costs of service or revenue. For each request brought pursuant to this section,
CONTRACTOR must prepare a schedule documenting the costs and how they are necessitated by the
Change in Laws. Such request must be prepared in a form acceptable to CITY with support for
assumptions made by CONTRACTOR in preparing the estimate.
CITY may request from CONTRACTOR such further information, as it deems necessary to fully
evaluate the request and make its determination. CITY is entitled to a reimbursement of its costs in
reviewing a request for an Extraordinary Adjustment. CITY will review CONTRACTOR's request and, in
CITY's reasonable judgment, make the final determination as to whether an adjustment will be made, and
if an adjustment is permitted, the appropriate amount of the adjustment.

4.11 Performance Standards for Adiustments to Rates. In order to be eligible for an RRI
adjustment under Section 4.07 or an Extraordinary Adjustment under Section 4.10, CONTRACTOR must
not then be in default of the Agreement, but CONTRACTOR may be in the process of curing a default if
prosecuting timely, as provided under Article 23 of this Agreement.
4.12 Adjustments Due to Changes in Fees. Payments, or CITY Services. In the event that
CITY elects to increase or decrease the amount of fees or payments beyond those amounts provided for
in Section 2.6, or City Services, the CITY and CONTRACTOR shall meet and confer to determine the
appropriate adjustment in the Maximum Service Rates in accordance with Section 24.01.
4.13 Procedures in Event of Invalidation of Rate Adjustment. In the event that CITY is
unable by operation of Applicable Law to approve or implement an Extraordinary Adjustment ,
CONTRACTOR will have the right, within thirty (30) days after notice of any such inability to approve or
validate an approved Extraordinary Adjustment, or to request, in writing, that CITY negotiate in good faith
regarding reductions in programs, services, or fees to compensate for any negative impact from the
unapproved or invalidated rate increase. If CITY fails to commence negotiations in good faith or
negotiations are not completed within forty-five (45) days following the date of receipt of CONTRACTOR's
request, CONTRACTOR may terminate this Agreement no earlier than eighteen (18) months after written
notice to the other.
ARTICLE 5. Diversion Requirements
5.01 Minimum Requirements. CITY requires CONTRACTOR to achieve a minimum
annual Franchised Diversion rate and assist CITY in complying with CalRecycle diversion standards as
described in Section 5.02 and 5.03 below. CONTRACTOR must provide documentation to CITY within
forty-five (45) days of the end of each calendar year stating and supporting that calendar year's diversion
rate as set forth in Section 5.03. CONTRACTOR's Diversion Plan is outlined in Exhibit 7.
5.01.1 On July 1, 2021, and not more often than once every two (2) years,
thereafter CONTRACTOR may request waiver or revision of Franchised Diversion requirements, the
parties agree to meet and confer, and negotiate in good faith, regarding adjustments to the minimum
diversion requirement, the availability of permitted facilities that are capable of processing material to
achieve the required levels of diversion, the availability of commercially viable markets for Recyclable
Materials or Organic Waste, and international trade embargoes. CITY may not unreasonably withhold
approval of the waiver or revision provided that CONTRACTOR has presented sufficient documentation
for its request.
5.01.2 If CITY fails to comply with CalRecycle diversion standards due to
CONTRACTOR's failure to implement the Franchised Diversion and public education programs provided
for in this Agreement and CONTRACTOR fails to achieve a minimum annual Franchised Diversion Rate
as described in Section 5.03, CONTRACTOR must submit a corrective action plan to assist CITY to
comply with Section 41780 and other Applicable Laws, by May 15th following the year the diversion
requirements were not met. CONTRACTOR's corrective action plan is subject to approval by the
Agreement Administrator, and to be approved must constitute a good faith corrective action plan to allow
CITY to comply with Public Resources Code section 41780 and other Applicable Laws. Implementation
Page 33 of 114
RIV #4843-5984-1173 v2
Solid Waste Collection Services Agreement Dated: July 1, 2019
of the corrective action plan will be at CONTRACTOR's sole cost and expense. If CONTRACTOR fails to
submit a corrective action plan acceptable to the CITY, CONTRACTOR may be subject to Administrative
Charges as specified in Section 19.04. Provided that CONTRACTOR has implemented all required
CONTRACTOR diversion and public education programs required under this Agreement, and has
submitted a corrective action plan acceptable to the CITY, CONTRACTOR's failure to meet the
Franchised Division requirements under Section 5.03 shall not constitute and event of default under this
Agreement.
5.01.3 If CONTRACTOR fails to meet its Franchised Diversion requirements or if
CITY fails to comply with CalRecycle diversion standards, and CONTRACTOR has implemented all
required CONTRACTOR diversion programs, the CITY may direct CONTRACTOR to modify its
programs, or implement new diversion programs. Any such modification of CONTRACTOR's existing
diversion programs or addition of new diversion programs done at the CITY's request would be in
accordance with Section 24.01.
5.01.4 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
where CalRecycle has determined that there are no commercially viable markets for a specific type of
Recyclable Materials, or with written notice to CITY, CONTRACTOR is unable to identify a market for one
or more Recyclable Materials despite the exercise of commercially reasonable efforts to process and
market the material, and determines, in the interest of safeguarding public health, to dispose of the
Recyclable Material(s), such a determination shall not constitute a failure to implement service, a failure to
implement a program, or an event of eefault hereunder.
5.02 Diversion Rate Calculation.
5.02.1 Franchised Diversion Rate Calculation. For purposes of determining
whether CONTRACTOR has met its Franchised Diversion requirements under this Agreement, CITY and
CONTRACTOR agree the annual Franchised Diversion rate will be calculated using the following formula:
"the tons of materials Collected by CONTRACTOR from Collection Services in CITY that are delivered to
a Materials Recovery Facility, Organic Waste Processing Facility, or any other processing facility, or that
are otherwise handled in a manner that counts as diversion under applicable CalRecycle regulations (in
each case, net of all residue from processing), divided by the total tons of materials Collected in the CITY
by CONTRACTOR from the provision of Collection Services in each Calendar Year."
5.02.2 CalRecycle Diversion Requirement Calculation. For purpose of determining
whether CONTRACTOR has met its CalRecycle diversion requirements under this Agreement, CITY and
CONTRACTOR agree the CalRecycle diversion requirement rate will be calculated using the following
formula: "CITY's Pounds Per Person Per Day disposal allowance divided by the Pounds Per Day
generated in each Calendar Year."
5.03 CONTRACTOR's Diversion Requirements. For purposes of Article 5,
CONTRACTOR's Franchised Diversion requirements are:
Page 34 of 114
RIV #4843-5984-1173 v2

Diversion rate requirement will be fifty percent (50%) and CalRecycle diversion standards will be sixty-five
(65%). For Calendar Years 2028, and for each Calendar Year thereafter during the term of this
Agreement, the minimum annual Franchised Diversion rate requirement will be fifty percent (50%) and
CalRecycle diversion standards will be seventy-five percent (75%).
5.04 Warranties and Representations. CONTRACTOR warrants that it is aware of and
familiar with CITY's waste stream, and that it has the ability to and must provide sufficient programs and
services designed to ensure CITY will meet or exceed the diversion requirements as set forth in this
Section 5.01, as well as the diversion requirements of the Applicable Laws (including, without limitation,

19.03 CONTRACTOR Representative. CONTRACTOR must designate a Representative
(CONTRACTOR's Representative) and must provide the name of that person in writing to CITY within

19.04 Administrative Charges; Liquidated Damages. Should CONTRACTOR be in material
breach of the requirements set forth in this Agreement, it is mutually understood and agreed that the
public will necessarily suffer damages and that such damages, from the nature of the default in
performance will be extremely difficult to value and impractical to fix. CITY finds, and the CONTRACTOR
agrees, that as of the time of the execution of this Agreement, it is impractical, if not impossible, to
reasonably ascertain the extent of damages or the costs related thereto which will be incurred by CITY as
a result of a material breach by CONTRACTOR of its obligations under this Agreement. The factors
relating to the impracticability of ascertaining damages include, but are not limited to, the fact that: (i)
substantial damage results to members of the public who are denied services or denied quality or reliable
service; (ii) such breaches cause inconvenience, anxiety, frustration and deprivation of the benefits of this
Agreement to individual members of the general public for whose benefit this Agreement exists, in
subjective ways and in varying degrees of intensity which are incapable of measurement in precise
monetary terms; (iii) services might be available at substantially lower costs than alternative services, and
the monetary loss resulting from denial of services or denial of quality or reliable services is impossible to
calculate in precise monetary terms; and (iv) the termination of this Agreement for such breaches, and
other remedies are, at best, a means of future correction and not remedies which make the public whole
for past breaches.

22.01 General Indemnification. CONTRACTOR must indemnify, defend and hold harmless
CITY, CITY's contractors, and the public officials, officers, directors, employees, agents and other

losses and damages (including but not limited to all fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys
and other professionals as well as all court or other dispute resolution costs), liabilities, expenditures or
causes of action of any kind (including negligent, reckless, willful or intentional acts or omissions of the
CONTRACTOR, any subcontractor, any supplier, any person or organization directly or indirectly
employed by any of them to perform or furnish any services or anyone for whose acts any of them may
be liable), arising from, relative to or caused by the performance of the services. (collectively, "Claims")
This indemnity includes but is not limited to Claims attributable to bodily injury, sickness, disease or death
and to injury or destruction of tangible property. CONTRACTOR agrees, at CONTRACTOR's expense,
after written notice from the CITY, to defend any action against the CITY Indemnitees that falls within the
scope of this indemnity using counsel selected by CONTRACTOR and approved by CITY in its
reasonable judgment. Additionally, if CONTRACTOR, after receipt of written notice from the CITY, fails to
make any payment due under this Agreement to CITY, CONTRACTOR must pay any reasonable
attorneys' fees or costs incurred by CITY in securing any such payment from CONTRACTOR. Payment
of any amount due pursuant to the foregoing indemnity must, after receipt of written notice by
CONTRACTOR from CITY that such amount is due, be made by CONTRACTOR prior to CITY being
required to pay same, or in the alternative, CITY, at CITY's option, may make payment of an amount so
due and CONTRACTOR must promptly reimburse CITY for the same, together with interest thereon at
the rate of 12% per annum simple interest from the date of receipt by CONTRACTOR of written notice
from CITY that such payment is due.
22.02 Diversion Indemnification. Subject to the requirements of Public Resources Code
section 40059.1, which will control in the event of any conflict with the provisions of this Section,
CONTRACTOR agrees to protect and defend CITY Indemnitees with counsel selected by

Indemnitees harmless from and against all fines or penalties imposed by the California Integrated Waste
Management Board if the diversion goals specified in California Public Resources Code section 41780,
as it may be amended, are not met by CITY with respect to the materials Collected by CONTRACTOR
and if the lack in meeting such goals are attributable to the failure of CONTRACTOR to implement and
operate the recycling or diversion programs or undertake the related activities required by this
Agreement. In the event CalRecycle provides an administrative process to challenge the imposition of a
compliance order or a fine or fines, CONTRACTOR will be responsible for engaging any consultants or
attorneys necessary to represent CITY in any challenge. CONTRACTOR will be responsible for the
retention of and payment to any consultants engaged to perform waste generation studies (diversion and

Page81 of 114
RIV #4843-5984-1173 v2
Solid Waste Collection Services Agreement Dated: July 1, 2019
CERCLA, the Health & Safety Code or other similar federal, state or local law or regulation, with respect

Safety Code to defend, protect, hold harmless and indemnify the CITY Indemnitees from all forms of
liability under CERCLA, the Health & Safety Code or other similar federal, state or local law or regulation.
22.04 Propositions 218 and 26 Release. CITY intends to comply with all applicable laws
concerning the Maximum Service Rates provided under this Agreement. Upon thorough analysis, the
parties have made a good faith determination that the Maximum Service Rates for the Solid Waste

XIIIC and XIIID because, among other reasons, such services are provided by a private corporation and
not by CITY pursuant to Article 4, CONTRACTOR independently establishes the rates for services within
the limits established in this Agreement, the receipt of services is voluntary and not required of any
property within CITY, and any owner or Service Recipient of property within CITY has the opportunity to
avoid the services available under this Agreement either through self -hauling or use of property in such a
manner that Solid Waste is not generated. Accordingly, CONTRACTOR agrees to hold harmless and
release the CITY Indemnitees from and against any and all claims CONTRACTOR may have against the
CITY Indemnitees resulting from the Maximum Service Rates provided for under this Agreement or in
connection with the application of California Constitution Article XIIIC and Article XIIID to the imposition,
payment or collection of the rates under this Agreement. This Section will survive the expiration or
termination of this Agreement for Claims arising prior to the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

to CONTRACTOR for the execution of this Agreement consists of the promises, payments, covenants,
rights and responsibilities contained in this Agreement.

indemnification and release provisions; however, the collateral obligation of providing insurance must also
be complied with as set forth in this Agreement.
22.07 Subcontractors. CONTRACTOR must require all subcontractors performing work in
the CITY to enter into an Agreement containing the provisions set forth in Section 22.01 in which
Agreement the subcontractor fully indemnifies CITY in accordance with this Agreement.
22.08 Exception. Notwithstanding other provisions of this Agreement, CONTRACTOR's
obligation to indemnify, hold harmless and defend CITY, its officers and employees will not extend to any
loss, liability, penalty, damage, action or suit arising or resulting from acts or omissions constituting sole
or active negligence, willful misconduct, material breach of this Agreement, or violation of law on the part
of CITY, its officers or employees.
22.09 Damage by CONTRACTOR. If CONTRACTOR's employees or subcontractors cause
any injury, damage or loss to CITY property, including but not limited to CITY streets or curbs, excluding
normal wear and tear, CONTRACTOR must reimburse CITY for CITY's cost of repairing such injury,
damage or loss. Such reimbursement is not in derogation of any right of CITY to be indemnified by
CONTRACTOR for any such injury, damage or loss. With the prior written approval of CITY,
RIV #4843-5984-1173 v2
Page 82 of 114
Solid Waste Collection Services Agreement Dated: July 1, 2019
CONTRACTOR may repair the damage at CONTRACTOR's sole cost and expense. Any injury, damage
or loss to private property caused by the negligent or willful acts or omissions of CONTRACTOR to
private property must be repaired or replaced by CONTRACTOR at CONTRACTOR's sole expense.
Disputes between CONTRACTOR and its Service Recipients or private property owners as to damage to
private property are civil matters and complaints of damage will be referred to CONTRACTOR as a matter
within its sole responsibility and as a matter within the scope of Section 22.01 (Indemnification).

the terms, conditions or covenants in this Agreement or any of the rules and regulations promulgated by
CITY pursuant thereto or has wrongfully failed or refused to comply with the instructions of the Agreement
Administrator relative thereto and such default is not cured within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of

Administrative Charges under Article 19, to be kept and performed by CONTRACTOR three (3) or more
times in any twenty-four (24) month period, and regardless of whether the CONTRACTOR has corrected
each individual condition of default, CONTRACTOR will be deemed a "habitual violator", will be deemed
to have waived the right to any further notice or grace period to correct, and all such defaults will be
considered cumulative and collectively will constitute a condition of irredeemable default. CITY will
thereupon issue CONTRACTOR a final warning citing the circumstances therefore, and any single default
by CONTRACTOR of whatever nature, subsequent to the occurrence of the last of such cumulative
defaults, will be grounds for immediate termination of the Agreement. In the event of any such
subsequent default, CITY may terminate this Agreement upon giving of written final notice to
CONTRACTOR, such cancellation to be effective upon the date specified in CITY's written notice to
CONTRACTOR, and all contractual fees due hereunder plus any and all charges and interest will be

Agreement.

cease, and CITY will have the draw down on the Letter of Credit and will be free to negotiate with other
