Gonzalez, City Manager DATE: June 9, .2010 SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION APPROVING AND HORIZING THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH CHOICE ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, PURSUANT TO REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP) NO. 60-08/09, FOR THE COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL OF RESIDENTIAL SOLID WASTE, YARD TRASH, AND BULK WASTE, AND OPERATION OF THE CITY'S GREEN WASTE FACILITY; SAID AGREEMENT HAVING AN INITIAL TERM OF FIVE (5) YEARS, COMMENCING ON SEPTEMBER 1, 2010, AND ENDING ON AUGUST 31, 2015, WITH THREE (3) ONE-YEAR RENEWAL OPTIONS,. UPON THE SAME TERMS AND CONDITIONS, AT THECITY'S SOLE.DISCRETION. ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION Adopt the Resolution. ANALYSIS At its regular meeting on May 12, .2010, the City Commission considered a proposed service agreement with Waste Pro of Florida (Waste Pro), for the collection and disposal of residential solid waste, yard trash, and bulk waste, and for operation of the City's green waste facility, pursuant to Request for Proposals No. 60-08/09 (the RFP). The May 12, 2010, Commission Item Summary and Commission Memoradum is provided for reference as Attachment 1. Waste Pro, along with Choice Environmental Services (Choice), was one of the two. (2) top ranked proposers recommended by the City Manager at the City Commission meeting of February 3, 2010. At that meeting, the City Commission approved Resolution No. 2010-27338, authorizing the City Manager to negotiate with both Waste Pro and Choice (as the two(2) top ranked proposers) and, in particular, to obtain each proposer's "best and final" offer with respect to their respective final price. In furtherance of the Commission's directive, the Administration undertook an administrative process whereby each proposer was asked to submit a written best and final offer. Based on Waste Pro's submittal of the lowest .best and final price pursuant to this process, the Administration proceeded to negotiate the aforestated agreement with Waste Pro, which was considered by the City Commission on May 12, 2010. Following consideration and discussion of the Waste Pro agreement at the May 12, 2010 City Commission Meeting, the City Commission voted not to approve the agreement and, in the alternative, to commence negotiations with the other recommended proposer, Choice. In supporting its decision, and-as Choice had indicated that it was prepared to match Waste Pro's best and final price-putting price aside and focusing more on the issue of capability, the City Commission cited concerns in proceeding with approval of the Waste Pro agreement, based on such factors as: deficiencies in the proposed agreement document itself; the contractor's proximity to the City and, in particular, whether, in the event of equipment failure (i.e. collection trucks breaking down), the contractor would have the capacity to put replacement Commission Memo Re Residential Waste Hauling Agreement June 9, 2010 Page 2 of 3 equipment into effect in a'timely manner, so as not to disrupt collection schedules and routes; and the contractor's capability with regard to sustainability and green initiatives (which were unclear based on insufficient information so as to be able to make an informed determination as to same). The Administration was directed to meet with Choice, and to bring back a agreement upon the same-or better-- terms than the Waste Pro agreement, for consideration at the June 9, 2010, City Commission Meeting. Accordingly, members of the City Administration met with representatives of Choice, including ' its counsel, on May 21, 2010. At that time, Choice agreed to be bound by the same business and other terms as included in the Waste Pro agreement, which is summarized below: ', 1. The: cost to provide collection and disposal of residential solid waste, yard trash and bulk waste, and operate ,the City's Green Waste Facility, pursuant to the scope of services ..pursuant to the RFP, will be $23.99/month/per unit which is $1.58 /month/per unit less than the current rate of-$25.57, which represents asavings-of $120,832 over the current agreement in the first year. - 2. The .monthly rate is made up of approximately 50% collection costs and 50% disposal costs. Choice has agreed to freeze the collection portion of their monthly rate for the first•three years of the agreement. 'The remaining years are subject to annual increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) not to exceed three (3) percent. 'The City may grant. increases in the disposal portion of the monthly rate for the actual amount of an increase in the Miami-Dade County tipping fee. Using these assumptions and projecting an annual 3% increase in the Miami Dade County tipping fee, will result in projected annual savings over the five year term in excess of $842,000 over the current agreement. Projected Choice ContractCurrent Contract Annual Savings (1) Year 1 $1,834,659 $1,955,491 $120,832 Year2 $1,862,179 .$2,014,156 $151,977 Year 3 $1,890,112 $2,074,580 $184,469 Year4 .$1,946,815 $2,136,818 $190,003 Year 5 $2,005,219 $2,200,922 195703 Cumuative Savings $842,984 (1) The amounts incuded projected increase of 3% per year for potentia increases in the actua cost of tipping fees paid to Miami-Dade County which the City may grant to the contractor. The amounts do not include any increase in collection costs for contract years 1-3 with 3% CPI for years 4 and 5. 3. An annual contribution to Education Compact Initiatives of $15,000, totaling $75,000 over the initial five year term of the agreement. In addition to agreeing to all the terms and conditions of the proposed Waste Pro agreement, Choice agreed to purchase, and/or donate funding for the City's purchase of, 25 additional Commission Memo Re Residential Waste Hauling Agreement June 9, .2010 Page 3 of 3 garbage cans throughout the first three (3) years of the agreement (13 cans in year one; and 6 cans each in years 2 and 3, respectively). The approximate cost of 25 garbage cans is $20, 000. Choice's pricing, as reflected in the service agreement recommended by the Administration, will provide our residents with no change in service delivery; no increase costs to our residents; a significant savings of more than $120,000 in the first year; and an estimated savings of $842,000 over five years, when compared with the current agreement. Further, had the Administration accepted the lowest offer, resulting from the RFP process, of $29.97 per month/unit, the cost to our residents would have increased by $4.40 per month or $336,495 during the. first year when compared to the existing agreement price of $25.57 and would have increased over an estimated $1,786,000 over the five year term, (assuming annual ~, CPI increases of 3% for each agreement over the term). The Commission's concerns about deficiencies in the Waste Pro agreement such as: • There is no requirement of the contract at the trucks of Miami-Dade or even the County • There is no fine for failure to have trucks out within two hours • There was a discussion of minimum wage and not living wage have been addressed in the Choice agreement. The City Commission also requested that both Waste Pro and Choice submit information regarding .their sustainability programs and .green initiatives. Choice's and Waste .Pro's sustainability and green initiatives were transmitted via Letter to Commission No. 158-2010 dated May 28, 2010 (see Attachment 2). CONCLUSION Concurrent with the Administration's meeting with Choice (on the business terms of the agreement), the City Attorney's Office has again reviewed, and revised, several provisions of the agreement; which review and revisions are intended to give the City broader protection and remedies to ensure that the required collection and disposal services are provided by the contractor in a first class manner. The Administration and City Attorney's Office have complied with the City Commission's directive. The revised service agreement (Attachment 3) with Choice indicates the contractor's . acceptance to provide the services in accordance with the same price and other business points as in the prior proposed agreement with Waste Pro. Additionally, Choice has agreed to other additional business points, as referenced above, and -the overall revised agreement affords the City with additional protection and remedies to ensure compliance and optimum performance of the required services.

ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION Adopt the Resolution. ANALYSIS At its February 3, 2010 meeting, the City Commission's action/directive, accepted the City Manager's recommendation (Option No. 2) pursuant to RFP No 60-08109, and authorized the Administration to enter into negotiations with the two (2) top-ranked proposers, Waste Pro of Florida, Inc. ("Waste Pro"), and Choice Environmental Services, Inc. ("Choice"), in order to obtain their respective best and final offers. Specifically, Option No. 2 recommended the following: Authorize the Administration to negotiate with fhe Committee's two (2) top-ranked proposers, Choice Environmental Services, Inc. and Waste Pro of Florida, lnc., in order to obtain their respective best and final ofifers. Choice Environmental Services, Inc. has proposed a monthly fee of $29.97 per un-t and Waste Pro of Florida, /nc, has proposed a monthly fee of $33.87 per unit. Both proposers have proposed rates that are higher than the current rate of $25.57. "Best and Final Offer" Process In accordance with the City Commission's election of Option No. 2, on February 19,2010, the City's Chief Financial Officer Trish Walker, Public Works Director Fred Beckmann and procurement Director Gus Lopez met with representatives from Waste Pro and Choice (see sign-in sheet at Attachment No. 1) with the intent of having each proposer submit a "best 428 Commission Memo Re Residential Waste Hauling Agreement May 12, 2010 Page 2 of 6 and t'tnal" offer, to be followed by negotiations with the proposer submitting the lowest and best offer. A discussion was held concerning what items would be considered in the "best and final" process. Due to the severity of current economic conditions, and the City's desire to obtain the best service at the lowest possible cost for its residents, it was emphasized to both proposers that they should "sharpen their pencils" and review their costs carefully, looking for ways to reduce their pricing. It was further explained that, following a further due diligence review of each proposer, the Administration would enter into negotiations with the contractor submitting the lowest and best offer. The items discussed and agreed upon at the meeting were as follows: 1. The best and final form to be submitted by Waste Pro and Choice would provide a monthly per unit cost for the following: a. residential solid waste, yard pick-up and disposal, twice a week, to include four (4) bulk pick-ups per calendar year; b. operationa{ of the City's Green Waste Facility; c. total price for (a) and (b) above; and d. residential solid waste, yard pick-up and disposal, twice a week, to include four (4) bulk pick-ups per calendar year. 2. Waste Pro and Choice agreed that their respective best and final offers would be submitted to the Procurement Office, in a sealed envelope, by 1:00 pm on Wednesday, February 24, 2010. 3 Waste Pro and Choice agreed that the sealed envelopes containing their respective best and final offers would be opened and read aloud with representatives from each contractor in attendance. 4. The best and final form also requested that Waste Pro and Choice indicate if they were willing to place public ads on their trucks. 5. Additionally, both proposers were advised that the information contained in their best and final offer would be relied upon by the City in awarding a contract, and that, as always, the City reserved the right to further negotiate with the lowest and best proposer. (See best and final form at Attachment 2). On February 19, 2010, an a-mail from Procurement Director Gus Lopez was sent to representatives of Waste Pro and Choice, which provided each contractor with the best and final form, and instruction on when, where, on how to submit the form. (See a-mail at Attachment 3). On February 24, 2010, representatives from Waste Pro and Choice, hand delivered their respective best and final -farms shortly before 1:00 pm. With representatives from both Waste Pro and Choice present, the best and final offers were opened and read aloud. Representatives from Waste Pro and Choice requested copies of the other's best and final form. 429 Commission Memo Re Residential Waste Hauling Agreement May 12, 2010 Page 3 of 6 The best and final offers submitted were as follows: Waste Pro 1.

Choice's best and final offer of $28.45/ month/unit was: ® $2.88/month/unit or $220,251 per year higher than the existing rate of $25.57/month/unit ; ® $1.52/month/unit or $116,244 per year less than the price in their RFP response; and $3.18/month/unit or $243,194 per year higher than the best and final price offered by Waste Pro. (See Waste Pro's and Choice's Best and Final Offers at Attachment 4.) On February 25, 2010, Attorney Michael Pizzi, representing Choice, submitted (via e-mail), a letter, dated February 24, 2010, in which he stated that °Choice wishes fo register its protest of the decision of the Public Works Sfaff to disregard the parameters of the RFP, the Manager's Recommendation, and the instructions of the Town Council in establishing the procedure for final recommendation of the vendor for residential waste hauling." (See Mr. Pi2zi's a-mail and letter at Attachment 5). 430 Commission Memo Re Residential Waste Hauling Agreement May 12, 2010 Page 4 of 6 On March 11, 2010, the Administration in consultation with the City Attorney's Office, advised Mr. Pizzi that, if intended to be a bid protest, the February 24, 2010 letter was time barred under the City's Bid Protest Ordinance; as the City Commission had already accepted the City Manager's recommendation (to negotiate with both proposers) at its February 3, 2010 meeting. (See letter sent to Mr. Pizzi at Attachment 6). Due Diligence meeting with Waste-Pro On March 11, 2010, the Administration met with Mr. Russel Mackie, Regional Vice President for Waste Pro, and conducted a due diligence meeting on Waste Pro's best and final offer. Mr. Mackie explained that he was able to lower Waste Pro's billing rate by becoming familiar with Waste Management's routes; specifically, as they relate to the high number of residents who actually place their trash at the curbside for pick-up. He also stated that Waste Pro had a better understanding of the operation of the City's Green Waste Facility, and that it was not as much of alabor-extensive operation as they had initially believed. Additionally, Mr. Mackie believed that the Administration had made it clear that negotiations would ensue with the contractor who provided the lowest and best final offer, so he reviewed his costs and lowered his billing rate significantly. Due Diligence Meeting with Choice On March 11, 2010, the Administration met with representatives from Choice, including Choice's General Counsel, Mr. Michael Pizzi. Mr. Pizzi stated that he believed that the City Commission had directed the Administration to conduct "dual" negotiations, and that Choice was ready to lower its best and final offer (from $28.45/month/per unit to $24.50/monthlper unit). Mr. Pizzi then submitted a revised best and final form that reflected the $24.50/month/per unit rate. Mr. Pizzi was informed that, in accordance with the parameters set by City Attorney and the Administration and as explained to both proposers at the meeting on February 19, 2010, a "revised" best and final form could not be accepted, as it was submitted after the February 24th opening date (and particularly after Choice had knowledge of Waste Pro's best and final offer). On March 25, 2010, Mr. Pizzi, submitted a letter to the City Manager, alleging that the Administration had not followed the City Commission's directive (to negotiate with both proposers) and that, as such, Choice should have been allowed to submit a revised best and final offer. The Administration reviewed Choice's letter with the City Attorney's office. As with Choice's February 25, 2010 letter, the March 25, 2010 letter. cannot be viewed as a bid protest, since it too is time barred under the City's Bid Protest ordinance. The Administration responded to Mr. Pizzi in a letter from Procurement Director Gus Lopez, dated May 5, 2010. (See letter sent to Mr. Pizzi at Attachment 7). CBTY iVIANAGER'S ADDiTIOiVAL DUE DILLIGENCE Since Waste Pro has not done any business with the City, or in Miami-Dade County, the Administration engaged the services of JM Advisory Group ("Consultant") to conduct a due diligence investigation of Waste Pro. The Consultant's report indicated that Waste Pro's clients expressed a high level of satisfaction. The Consultant also obtained and reviewed databases of actual complaints 431 Commission Memo Re Residential Waste Hauling Agreement May 12, 2010 Page 5 of 6 recorded by the Palm Beach County Solid Waste Authority and Seminole County; both clients of Waste Pro. Said counties went. on record to say that their complaints were reduced significantly with Waste Pro as their service provider, when compared to the previous service provider. The Consultant also conducted a search for all litigation history on Waste Pro and found that there was no litigation relative to Waste Pro's contractual obligations with any of their clients. There were other cases, which have been concluded, relating to allegations of discrimination and labor violations. Overall, the Consultant provided a favorable due diligence summary of Waste Pro. Results of Negotiations Following the completion of the meetings, with both proposers and their representatives, to review the best and final offer with each proposer and their explanation of the change in price, it was determined that Waste Pro had submitted the lowest responsible "best and final" proposal. On March 23, 2010, negotiations with Mr. Russell Mackie of Waste Pro were held. The following individuals participated in the negotiations: Trish Walker, CFO; Fred Beckmann, Public Works Director; AI Zamora, Sanitation Director; and Gus Lopez, Procurement Director. After discussion, Mr. Mackie agreed to the following: 1. The cost to provide collection and disposal of residential solid waste, yard trash and bulk waste, and operate the City's Green Waste Facility, pursuant to the scope of services pursuant to the RFP, will be $23.99/month/per unit which is $1.58 /month/per unit less than the current rate of $25.57, which represents a savings of $120,832 over the current contract in the first year. 2. The monthly rate is made up of approximately 50% collection costs and 50% disposal costs. Waste Pro has agreed to freeze the collection portion of their monthly rate for the first three years of the contract. The remaining years are subject to annual increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) not to exceed three (3) percent. The City may grant increases in the disposal portion of the monthly rate for the actual amount of an increase in the Miami Dade County tipping fee. Using these assumptions and projecting an annual 3% increase in the Miami Dade County tipping fee, will result in projected annual savings over the five year term in excess of $842,000 over the current contract. 432 Commission Memo Re Residential Waste Hauling Agreement May 12, 2010 Page 6 of 6 Waste Pro Contract Current Contract Projected Annual Savings {1) year 1 $1,834,659 $1,955,491 $120,832 year 2 $1,862,179 $2,014,156 $151,977 year 3 $1,890,112 $2,074,580 $184,469 year 4 $1,946,815 $2,136,818 $190,003 year 5 $2,005,219 $2,200,922 $195,703 Cumulative Savings $842,984 ill i ne amounts ~ncwae proieaea increase or s~ per year ror potential increases m the aauai cost of tipping fees paid to Mlami Dade County which the City may grant to the contractor.

An annual contribution to Education Compact Initiatives of $15,000, totaling $75,000 over the initial five year term of the agreement CONCLUSION Waste Pro's "best and final" offer, as reflected in the service agreement recommended by the Administration, will provide our residents with no change in service delivery; no increase costs to our residents; a significant savings of more than $120,000 in the first year; and an estimated savings of $842,000 over five years, when compared with the current contract. Further, had the Administration accepted the lowest offer, resulting from the RFP process, of $29.97 per monthlunit, the cost to our residents would have increased by $4.40 per month or $336,495 during the first year when compared to the existing contract price of $25.57 and would have increased over an estimated $1,786,000 over the five year term, (assuming annual CPI increases of 3% for each contract over the term). The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission, adopt the attached Resolution, which approves and authorizes the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the attached Agreement with Waste Pro of Florida, pursuant to Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 60-08!09, for the Collection and Disposal of Residential Solid Waste, Yard Trash, and Bulk Waste, and Operation of the City's Green Waste Facility; said Agreement having an initial term of five (5) years, commencing on July 1, 2010, and ending on June 30, 2015, with three (3) one-year renewal options, upon the same terms and conditions, at the City's sole discretion.

The Miami-Dade facility is able to sort paper, cardboard, .plastics, wood, and metals and reduce the quantity of the materials sent to the landfill by 90°!0. The permits and licenses for the facility and the operators are included in this presentation. "Comaressed Natural Gas Fuel" Choice Environmental operates the only "CNG" fueled refuse trucks in South Florida. The fuel station is located in Pompano Beach and provides clean natural gas as fuel for the truck fleet that services the City of Ft. Lauderdale. Press releases and news .articles associated with this one of a kind facility are attached, along with a testament letter from the City'of Ft. Lauderdale. "Miami-Dade County Public Schools" Choice Environmental in partnership with Miami .Dade Public Schools has developed the most comprehensive recycling programs in the State of Florida. This program fias allowed 360 schools and 300,000 students to participate and innovate in the recycling effort. A letter of appreciation from the School District is attached. Miami Beach Specific Green initiatives and Measures These "Green Initiatives and Measuresu are specifrcatly for the City of Miami Beach, not initiatives done in other parts of the State or Nation. These measures will directly affect the quality of life for the residents of Miami Beach. They are sustainable and attainable goals which Choice Fnvironmenta! can track and report firm results from these efforts. "Comaressed Natural Gas cowered vehicles" Choice Environmental Services, Inc. has applied through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act a Grant in the amount of $360,000. Issued by the Executive Office of the Governor and Florida Energy and Climate Commission, Choice will use the grant to build its second compressed natural gas ("CNG") plant in the state of Florida. The proposed CNG pant wiH be located in Choice's Opa-Locka, Florida facility, and will be available for public and private use. The proposed CNG plant will cast approximately $2.5 Million dollars. The contractor for the project will be Clean Energy (Nasdaq: CLNEj, the leading provider of CNG for transportation in North America. It has a broad customer base in the refuse, transit, ports, shuttle, taxi, trucking, airport and municipal fleet markets. Clean Energy fuels more than 17,200 vehicles at 1$4 strategic locations throughout the United States and Canada. "Recvcline of Green Waste" Choice wilt undertake a project to sort the green waste "landscape debris" from the transfer site on Miami Beach, as well as the green waste picked up in the curbside bulk pickups. Once sorted, -the acceptable vegetation will be turned into mulch and provided to landscape companies'in the metro- South Florida area. "Recycline of the Bulk aickua items" As the green waste is sorted from the bulk pickup stream, other items will be sorted as well, and recycled at the highest level of reuse as possible. Useable furniture items will be donated to local ,charities or disaster stricken areas, as the need should arise. Metal items wilt be taken to specific metal recycling specialists, and then shipped to mills far reuse in the manufacturing process. Electronics will be separated and sent to facilities that will "demanafacture" the items and keep harmful components out of the local landfills and Waste to Energy burn Facilities. "Recvcline of engine oil" The fleet of refuse vehicles in the Miami-Dade Division is equipped with the'b P 5 "System. This system extends the useful life of the oil used to lubricate the engines of these vehicles, thereby reducing the waste oil that need disposal need disposal on an annual basis. The 75 refuse vehicles in the Miami-Dade Division have reduced their oil consumption by 24,300 quarts per year, lowering the need for .new oil and keeping waste ail out of the environment. "Coastal Cieanun" This annual event chose Choice Environmental. as its only provider of pickup and disposal services for Miami -Dade County in 2009. This is a worldwide volunteer effort to clean the beaches and waterways of trash and debris that is hazardous to the environment and .coastal wildlife. Choice -was proud to provide not only waste services to this effort, but for the first time in South Florida, to provide recycling containers as well. Any materials that had the potential for. recycling were placed by the volunteers in special containers and taken back to one of our two "Materials Recycle facilities" for sorting and reuse. Choice Environmental was proud to provide aN these services to "Coastal Cleanup" at no charge and we look forward to doing the same in 2010. t i "Rewards for Recvcline" A program designed-to-increase participation in the curbside .recycling by single family homes on Miami Beach. This program will be coordinated with Miami-Dade County to bring emphasis to the residents of the Miami Beach and :connect them with merchants on Miami Beach who will offer discounts and promotions to those residents .who :increase .the level of their participation. Tracking features will be added to the recycle containers, with the County's approval, to allow the resident and the: City of Miami Beach to see the progress of this program. This program. will need the administrative approval of the Miami-Dade County Solid Waste Department.'The first presentation of this program has been made to the senior management at that department: ~, ,~ .
