HomeMy WebLinkAbout16 - Beach Refuse CollectionCITY OF NEWPORT BEACH CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT Agenda Item No. 16 January 11, 2011 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: Municipal Operations Department Mark Harmon, Director 949 - 644 -3055 mharmon @newportbeachca.gov SUBJECT: Contractor Agreement With Rainbow Disposal To Provide Refuse Collection Service At City Beaches ISSUE: City Council should consider an agreement with Rainbow Disposal to provide collection of beach refuse containers on City beaches. Staff recommends that the City Council approve the ten year agreement with Rainbow Disposal for the collection of beach refuse containers at a cost of $127,441 per year. DISCUSSION: City staff from the Operations Support Division currently collects trash from 168 bins located on ocean front beaches from the Santa Ana River Jetty to the Corona Del Mar State Beach on a regular basis, two to five times per week, depending on the season. This operation is critical to ensuring the cleanliness of City beaches that attract residents and visitors in large numbers, especially during the summer months. The specialized diesel trucks used to drive onto the sand in order to empty the bins have far exceeded their useful life and will require additional equipment in order to be AQMD- compliant. Last year, one of the trucks, a 1981 model, was permanently removed from service and the other, purchased in 1989, was unavailable for several weeks due to needing a replacement part custom fabricated in order to complete the repair. During that period a front - loading residential refuse truck was temporarily modified and the time needed to complete the collection route was. noticeably lengthened, as bins Contractor Agreement With Rainbow Disposal To Provide Refuse Collection Service At City Beaches January 11, 2011 Page 2 had to be moved off the beach with a loader to be dumped. This operation is not sustainable in its current form within the approved budget. In preparation for the upcoming summer season, the Municipal Operations Department consulted with the Office of the City Attorney on developing a Request for Proposals (RFP) that includes successful completion of a pilot phase as a condition of continuance of the long -term agreement. On November 3, the RFP was mailed to ten franchised waste haulers who attended the Mandatory Pre - Proposal Meeting on November 10; five proposals were received by the deadline of November 18. The summary of the submitted costs are listed in Attachment 1. Rainbow Disposal was selected as the lowest responsive proposer and invited to an on -site equipment demonstration on December 3 at Huntington State Beach and the area of the Balboa Pier. Staff completed negotiations with Rainbow Disposal on December 7 and is confident that Rainbow Disposal will be able to meet requirements set forth in the agreement. The critical aspect of this agreement is the 12 -week pilot phase that will be used to evaluate Rainbow Disposal, who proposed the automated collection of plastic containers. This type of service is already performed in Los Angeles County, the City of Santa Monica, and at Huntington State and City Beaches. Rainbow Disposal has proposed to replace the City's aging metal bins with hinged -lid plastic containers of comparable capacity. There are several advantages of using the plastic bins: reduced litter around the bin due to the lid, the ability to use an automated collection vehicle, and a lower replacement cost. Sixty new containers will be deployed in Areas #5 and #6 stretching from the Santa Ana River Jetty to the Newport Pier for duration of the pilot phase. The pilot phase will begin in February and collection will be on the non - summer schedule, occurring in the morning on Mondays and Fridays. Prior to the conclusion of the pilot phase, Rainbow Disposal will be notified of the City's intent to exercise its option to extend the term of the Agreement through December 31, 2020 or to terminate the agreement. Assuming successful pilot phase performance, Rainbow Disposal will replace the remaining 108 metal bins in Areas #1 through #4 continuing from the Newport Pier to the Corona del Mar Main Beach. The new containers will be in place prior to the start of the summer schedule. Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, the containers will be collected Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, on the same schedule as currently performed by City staff. As currently performed, beach refuse collection does not require a full -time employee to perform the work. Staff estimates it consumes 40% of a single employee's time on an annualized basis, taking into account the time included in collection of the waste, and the off - season maintenance of the metal beach bins. If this agreement is executed with Rainbow Disposal, the Department will be able Contractor Agreement With Rainbow Disposal To Provide Refuse Collection Service At City Beaches January 11, 2011 Page 3 to delete a Maintenance Worker I position in the FY 2011 -12 budget, which is currently vacant. FISCAL IMPACT: The current cost of the beach bin trash service utilizing City staff is budgeted to be $145,594 for FY 2010 -11. The majority of the costs for the service are related to the maintenance and replacement of the specialized vehicles and the existing metal bins. New CNG versions the same six -wheel drive trucks are approximately $450,000 each. The replacement cost of a metal bin with a useful life of approximately ten years is $750. The budget adopted for this year included the transfer of $600,000 from the Equipment Replacement Fund to the General Fund, a large portion of which was from the accumulated savings for the replacement of these two beach trucks. The cost to complete the work under the agreement will total approximately $35,200 for the remainder of FY 2010 -11. Funds are available within the Operations Support Division budget from charges to the Internal Services Fund for the maintenance and replacement of the beach trucks as well as fuel savings. In following years, the collection will be funded from savings from the vehicle charges, as well as the savings from the deletion of the Maintenance Worker I position noted above. In addition to the one -time transfer of $600,000 from the Equipment Replacement Fund, there will be a projected one -time savings of approximately $200,000 in new equipment purchases in FY 2011 -12. Subsequent on -going annual savings will be $127,000 and any increase in conjunction with the annual Employer PERS Contribution Rate increases. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: This action requires no environmental review, as it is not a project pursuant to CEQA. PUBLIC NOTICE: This agenda item may be noticed according to the Ralph M. Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the public meeting at which the City Council considers the item). FUNDING AVAILABILITY: As noted above, funding exists within the Operations Support Division budget for the work.
