Proposed Resolution 03-2019 Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into a Franchise
Agreement on Behalf of the City of Moab with Monument Waste, Inc. for Residential, Municipal,
and Commercial Solid Waste and Recycling Collection and Disposal. Everitt pointed out there
has been no solicitation for solid waste hauling services since 1999. He mentioned the contract is
required by code and the goals of the agreement are to provide quality service, help to meet the
City’s sustainability goals, and provide value to citizens. He pointed out there was only one bid
and acknowledged the Council has ambitious sustainability goals. Highlights of the bid were
presented including mandatory recycling for residential customers employing a single-stream
methodology which means customers comingle all recyclables in one bin rather than sorting.
Councilmember Jones pointed out the proposal does not criminalize recyclables in the trash bin.
Commercial services were discussed including points about optional recycling service. The
greatly expanded list of what will be recycled was presented. Russo pointed out that 80 percent
of American cities utilize single-stream methods. Everitt stated the Request for Proposals
optioned single stream and the sole bidder prefers that approach. McGann acknowledged that
source-separated was cleaner yet supports single stream and wants an option for voluntary
source separation. Councilmember Guzman-Newton asked about the fate of the Recycling
Center. Everitt presented the proposed rate schedule. Due to the increased cost of tipping fees at
the landfill, it was requested to initiate the new commercial rates effective February 1.
Councilmember Derasary brought up mandatory recycling for commercial customers. Subsidies
for residents were discussed, along with construction waste recycling and cardboard.

motion at the February 12 meeting. The options listed below are followed by additional
direction to staff you may wish to provide, with sample motions written out on the last
page.
Additionally, Monument Waste proposed the following in response to the City’s
requests:
-A revised price schedule for commercial recycling service that increases the
incentive to recycle.
-An option for every-other-week trash service for residential customers at a
reduced rate.
Based on those responses and other suggestions, staff prepared a new version of the
proposed Franchise Agreement for your consideration that includes:
An every-other-week option for residential trash service with a lower residential
blended rate;
Lower commercial recycling rates reflecting what would have been the
“mandatory” rates as proposed by the Service Provider;
A requirement that the City Council review rates annually whether there is a rate
modification request or not;
Clarification that residential trash and recycling requirements apply to all long-
term residential dwellings (e.g., manufactured home parks, apartment
complexes, etc.); and
An earlier start date for implementing commercial rates.

The following are options for your consideration.
Option 1: Establish mandatory recycling service for residential accounts,
with an opt-in approach for commercial accounts.
This was reflected in the originally proposed Agreement.
Option 2: Establish mandatory recycling service for residential accounts,
and mandatory recycling service for commercial after a date certain.
Given container size and frequency of service options available for commercial accounts,
many of the City’s commercial customers as well as Monument Waste need more time to
prepare for mandatory commercial recycling commercial service. Additional options:
a.Establish mandatory commercial recycling service by:
i.June 1, 2020;
ii.June 1, 2022; or
iii.At the term of expiration of this contract.
Option 3: Establish an opt-out option for residential recycling service and
an opt-in approach for commercial.
Additional options for consideration:
a.Limit residential opt-out timing to either:
i.Designated “enrollment periods” – 2x a year, in conjunction with when
residential customers can change bin sizes; or
ii.A one-time option when the new policy begins.
b.Transition by a date certain to either:
i.An opt-out approach for commercial; or
ii.Mandatory participation citywide.
Additional possible direction to staff:
1.Design an offset program to soften price increases to residential customers for
either:
a.Every residential account; or
b.Residential accounts that demonstrate hardship.
2.Propose a code change to require actual recycling by residential and/or
commercial customers – establish a warning and penalty regime for improper
diversion.
3.Propose code change to require recycling construction materials above a certain
threshold (e.g., a construction square footage minimum).
4.Propose a code change to require clean cardboard recycling (commercial only or
for all accounts)
5.Update MCC Chapter 8.04- Solid Waste generally.

to a maximum of two (2) months (without proration) from the date the correction is made. In
the event that the City determines from time to time that a customer account is deemed
uncollectible, then the parties agree that the Service Provider’s 50% share of the uncollected
sums shall be deducted from the Contract Revenue payable on the next succeeding month.
Review of uncollectible accounts shall take place at least annually.
Administrative Fee.

AUDIT AND REPORTING PROTOCOLS
The City aspires to be the leader in the community in moving towards zero waste through its
own initiatives in waste reduction and recycling. Auditing -- in other words, evaluating the
contents of trash collection containers and recycling polycarts -- provides an understanding of
the organization's current waste composition, reduction opportunities and employee training
gaps.
The City and Service Provider will work collaboratively to implement audits using the following
specifications:
1. Trash and recycling audits shall commence at one municipal and one commercial site per
year at a minimum and maximum of two per year. Locations to be agreed upon in advance
between City and Service Provider. Service Provider will be responsible for carrying out audits
but will keep the City informed in the event City employees are available to participate.
2. Trash audits will be used to determine how much recyclable material is being
inappropriately discarded.
3. Recycling audits will be used to determine how much foreign material is being
inappropriately placed in recycling polycarts, which creates contamination that reduces the value
of the recyclables.
4. The following categories of materials found during audits will be evaluated:
● Recyclables
● Compostables
● High volume hard-to-recycle items
● Landfill Material
5. Containers will be emptied onto tarps laid on the ground for the purpose of auditing.
Contents may need to be manually spread out for better evaluation. Contents will be quantified
with verbal descriptions and general percentages of the overall sample, and digital photos will be
taken to aid with reporting and assessment. Upon completion of audit, all materials/trash will be
replaced in original containers for collection on the next scheduled pick-up date.
6. A final report will be submitted within four weeks after the audit by the Service
Provider, including pictures of each category of waste found in the trash/recycling container, and
recommendations on how to increase the waste diversion of the facility that was audited.

ATTACHMENT 5
INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
For the duration of the Agreement the Service Provider will provide, from insurance companies
authorized to conduct business in the State of Utah, the insurance coverage designated below and
pay all premiums. Before commencing work under this Agreement, the Service Provider shall
furnish the City with certificates of insurance showing the type, amount, class of operations
covered, effective dates and date of expiration of policies, and containing substantially the
following statement:
“The insurance evidenced by this Certificate will not be cancelled, except after thirty (30) days
written notice has been received by the City of Moab.”
In case of the breach of any provision of the Insurance Requirements, the City, at its option, may
take out and maintain, at the expense of the Service Provider, such insurance as the City may
deem proper and may deduct the cost of such insurance from any monies which may be due or
become due the Service Provider under this Agreement. The City shall be named as additional
insureds on the Service Provider 's general liability and automobile liability insurance policies
for any claims arising out of work performed under this Agreement.
Insurance coverages shall be as follows:
• Workers' Compensation insurance with statutory limits as required by Utah law.
• Commercial General Liability and Vehicle Liability. The Service Provider shall maintain
during the life of this Agreement such commercial general liability and automobile
liability insurance as will provide coverage for damage claims of personal injury,
including accidental death, as well as for claims for property damage, which may arise
directly or indirectly from the performance of work under this Agreement. The amount
of insurance for each coverage, Commercial General Liability and Vehicle, shall not be
less than $1,000,000 combined single limits for bodily injury and property damage.

Memorandum
January 16, 2019
To: Moab City Council
From: David Everitt
Re: Solid Waste Hauling and Disposal Franchise Agreement
Background
The City of Moab requires that all residents and commercial operations within City
limits receive solid waste collection services.1 The collection, transport, and disposal of
solid waste2 in the City of Moab is administered via a franchise agreement with a single
service provider. The City has not solicited formal proposals for service since 1999. The
current contractual arrangement was originally between Bob’s Sanitation and the City,
but was assumed by Monument Waste, Inc. when it purchased Bob’s Sanitation. The
City and Monument Waste extended and modified the agreement several times
subsequently.3
The current agreement requires that all residences and commercial operations
participate in curbside pickup trash service only. Recycling is not considered in the
current contract; if commercial or residential customers desire curbside recycling
service, they sign up for service with a separate provider. The current agreement
contains outdated requirements and language, nor does it list rates.4
In the intervening 20 years, the City embraced broad sustainability practices5 and
established ambitious carbon reduction goals.6 Nationally, emissions from municipal
solid waste account for approximately 14% of methane gas emissions, which are
considered one of the most harmful greenhouse gases. It is estimated that the hauling,
disposal, and storage of unrecycled material within the City accounts for approximately
10-12% of the City’s overall greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, the City’s current
landfill diversion rate of 13% is well below the national rate of 35%, and per -capita trash
volumes exceed the national average by nearly 50%.
1 Moab Municipal Code Chapter 8.04.0 20, “Solid waste shall only be collected within the City limits by the
approved contractor pursuant to the terms of a solid waste collection franchise agreement with the City.
As defined in this chapter, every residence or commercial establishment shall be required to receive and
pay for solid waste collection services from the City.”
2 “Solid waste” for the purposes of this agreement includes non -recyclable material (i.e. “trash”),
traditionally-recyclable materials (such as cardboard, paper, aluminum, tin, some plastics, etc.), and other
materials as described in the draft Agreement.
3 See Attachment 1: Current agreement between Monument Waste, Inc., and the City.
4 Solid waste rates have been historically set by Council resolutions. This dra ft agreement takes a different
approach, which is to include the rates in the agreement itself. Rates will also be incorporated into the
future master fee schedule.

6 Resolution 2017-13: Resolution Establishing Renewable Energy and Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Reduction Goals for Moab City
Page 39 of 194

Accordingly, the City desires to implement a waste minimization program that places a
high emphasis on diverting more material away from landfill disposal and reducing the
overall waste stream by increasing recycling volumes .
Therefore, in order to ensure the best combination of service, value, and achievement of
stated sustainability and greenhouse gas emission goals , the City decided to engage in a
formal bidding process for trash and recycling services for residential and co mmercial
customers within the City as well as municipal facilities. At the regular council meeting
on September 25, 2018, staff presented a draft request for proposals (“RFP”) with broad
response parameters for the collection, transport, and disposal of solid waste for the City
Council to evaluate.7 Staff incorporated Council feedback and published an RFP8 that
closed on October 8, 2018.
The RFP assumed that residential and commercial trash service would continue to be
mandatory, but request ed pricing options for mandatory and opt-in recycling services
for commercial and residential accounts. The RFP did not specify that respondents must
use a particular approach for processing recyclable materials.
The City received one qualified proposal, submitted by Monument Waste. The Council
was briefed on that proposal at a regular council meeting on November 13, 2018.9 Based
on that discussion, staff negotiated terms with Monument Waste and drafted a new
agreement for Council consideration.
Draft Agreement Terms
Below are highlights of the draft Agreement , in anticipation of a June 1 start date for the
change to residential service.10
Residential service:
• Residents have two trash container size options – 95 gallon and 65 gallon.
• All residents will receive a 95-gallon recycling container.
• Trash service occurs weekly; recycling service occurs every other week.
Commercial service:
• Commercial customers are required to participate in curbside trash service;
recycling is optional.
7 See Attachment 2: Agenda Summary Sheet for the September 25, 2018 council meeting discussion about
the draft RFP
8 See Attachment 3: Final RFP
9 See Attachment 4: Agenda Summary Sheet for the November 13, 2018 council meeting discussion about
the RFP results and recommended approach. The Council discussed the proposed rate increases (in part
because of landfill tipping fees were increasing), the idea of a lower collection frequency for commercial
service, the recommendation of mandatory residential recycling, and potential impacts to Recycling
Center.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
I. GENERAL INFORMATION:
The City of Moab (City) is seeking proposals from qualified Service Providers to perform
residential and commercial solid waste disposal and recycling for customers within the City as
well as City buildings and facilities. The City currently contracts with a solid waste hauler for
commercial and residential service within the City . An independent business currently
provides recycling services to subscribers including the municipal government (A nnual cost -
$14,580). The City seeks to combine those functions. Additionally the City desires to
implement a waste minimization program that places a high emphasis on diverting more
material away from landfill disposal towards recycling, as well as systematic reduction of the
overall waste stream. The current diversion rate of 13% is well below the national rate of 35%
and per capita trash volumes exceed the national average by nearly 50%.
The City seeks to partner with a single entity (i.e., single company may bid with
other entities i.e. subcontractors but must act as the managing point of contact)
that will coordinate trash removal and recycling service, in order to optimize
collection efficiencies and track progress toward waste reduction goals. All
proposals must include both trash and recycling services at the unit prices listed
in Exhibits (A-D & G) with a fee structure aimed at increasing diversion.
Contractors must include bids for both subscription (opt-in) and mandatory
recycling services. The City is paying over $30,000 in landfill fees (Parks: 10%;
Water: 3%; Streets: 4% and WRF: 83%), in addition to $ 25,416 of collection fees.
The selected contractor should indicate strategies to lower those costs.
Contractors that can provide special collection and drop off services (Exhibit G)
are preferable.
We do not consider the full potential for recycling to have been realized yet. The City is seeking
to work closely with a Service Provider who is able to draw upon a range of skills and
capabilities, including: recycling technical expertise; familiarity with industry best
management practices; and, introduction of new waste reduction technologies and approaches.
The Service Provider is requested to assist the City in developing and implementing a more
integrated, comprehensive process of managing its waste stream which is characterized by
accurate measurement, reporting, cost efficiencies, and innovation. To this end, a yearl y audit
must be performed in accordance with data inputs specified in Exhibit H. The City intends to
allow the Service Provider to retain payments for all recyclable commodities included in the
contract.

Page 95 of 194
17
STREAM
The City aspires to be the leader in the community in moving towards Zero Waste through its
own initiatives in waste reduction and recycling. Auditing -- in other words, evaluating the
contents of trash collection containers and recycling bins -- provides an understanding of the
organization's current waste composition, reduction opportunities and employee training
gaps.
The City will work with its contracted vendor to implement audits using the following
specifications:
1. Schedule trash and recycling audits of at least one municipal and commercial building
per year
● Locations to be agreed upon in advance between City and vendor.
● Vendor will be responsible for carrying out audits but will keep the City
informed in the event City employees are available to participate.
2. Trash audits will be used to determine how much recyclable material is
being inappropriately discarded.
3. Recycling audits will be used to determine how much foreign material is being
inappropriately placed in recycling bins, which creates "contamination" that
reduces the value of the recyclables.
4. The following categories of materials found during audits will be evaluated:
● recyclables
● compostables
● high volume hard-to-recycle items
● trash
5. Containers will be emptied onto tarps laid on the ground for the purpose of auditing.
● contents may need to be manually spread out for better evaluation
● contents will be quantified with verbal descriptions and general
percentages of the overall sample
● digital photos will be taken to aid with reporting and assessment
● upon completion of audit, all materials/trash will be replaced in original
containers for collection on the next scheduled pick -up date
6. A final report will be submitted within four weeks after the audit by the vendor,
including pictures of each category of waste found in the trash/recycling container,
and recommendations on how to increase the waste diversion of the facility that was
audited.

Title: Options regarding Residential and Commercial Solid Waste and Recycling
Collection and Disposal
Date Submitted: November 5, 2018
Staff Presenter: Rosemarie Russo, Sustainability Director
Attachment(s):
●Residential and Commercial Solid Waste Collection, Disposal & Recycling
Request for Proposal
Recommended Motion: N/A – discussion purposes only at this time
Background:
(The goal of this briefing is to solicit informal direction from the City Council in advance
of negotiating a contract with the proposed service provider. Once that happens, staff
will bring a formal contract proposal back to the Council for approval.)
The City’s waste hauling services have not been subject to a competitive bid process for
close to twenty years. In order to ensure the best combination of service and value, the
City solicited proposals for garbage and recycling services for residential and
commercial customers within the City as well as municipal facilities.
Additionally, the City desires to implement a waste minimization program that places a
high emphasis on diverting more material away from landfill disposal towards recycling,
as well as systematic reduction of the overall waste stream. The current diversion rate of
13% is well below the national rate of 35% and per capita trash volumes exceed the
national average by nearly 50%.
The City currently contracts with a solid waste hauler for commercial and residential
service within the City, and separately for recycling services. The City sought to combine
those functions in order to optimize collection efficiencies and track progress toward
waste reduction goals. The RFP asked respondents to provide pricing options for
mandatory or optional curbside recycling services, as well as a host of other “a la carte”
services.
The City received one qualified response to the request, which came from Monument
Waste, the current service provider.
Recycling services include:
●Newspaper (ONP) - including all inserts
●Cardboard (OCC) - boxes should be broken down flat
●Chipboard Boxes - Cereal & Tissue type
●Magazines and Glossy Print
●Junk Mail / Bulk Mixed paper
