carts. While not formally scored, additional factors for consideration include the start date of service, number of collection days, and specific collection days of the week. The City Council reviewed the analysis and recommendations from the Organized Collection Subcommittee at a City Council workshop on December 4, 2024. Based on the recommendation of the subcommittee, the City Council Workshop directed staff to proceed with contracts with Republic Services for refuse services (refuse, yard waste, and bulky) and Waste Management for recycling services. PROPOSED REFUSE RATES The rates proposed by Republic Services are before taxes and environmental fees. Collection rates, yard waste, and individual bulk items are bid to be adjusted annually at 4.5%. The new contract will also include one bulky item per year and will be scheduled directly with the hauler. Rates for additional bulky items, carts, and trash bags are also included in the contract. When the Organized Collection Subcommittee analyzed the proposals, the disposal rates were not included. After further review, staff recommends paying disposal fees directly to the Ramsey/Washington Energy Center as a pass-through based on actual disposal costs. PROPOSED RECYCLING RATES The rates proposed by Waste Management are flat-rate recycling with no additional cost for an additional recycling cart. Recycling collection rates are bid to be adjusted annually at 5%. INITIAL TERM The term for both contracts shall be for a period of five years, commencing operations on January 1, 2025, and expiring on December 31, 2029.
