White Bear Lake, MN 55110 Re: Renewal of Organized Collection Contact .MAYOR Michael 1. Fahey COUNCIL Beverly Scalze Jim LaValle Matt Anderson Rick Montour ADMINISTRATOR Joel R. Hanson Attached is our proposed contract for organized collection services. The key points are as follows: • The rates are based upon BFI's contract in North St. Paul coupled with your proposal for disposal costs in Little Canada with a tipping fee of $34.00 per ton. While this is less than your proposal, we feel it is a fair amount given our similarities with North St. Paul and based on the fact that other jurisdictions have rates lower than this amount (White Bear Lake). Furthermore, rates have not been adjusted downward since the October tipping fee reduction! • Provisions for increases in the annual cost are built into the rate schedule in Attachment A (this again follows the North St. Paul contract as well as other contracts we reviewed). No other allowances for fee increases, except for disposal costs associated with tipping fees, were provided for in this document. • We have expanded our discussion of service problem areas and imposed a liquidated damages schedule for continued violations. This follows other contract documents we reviewed. ® We have provided for the option of the City billing residents for the services you provide with a .50 cent reduction in each rate category. We are not implementing it at this time as we are in the process of converting our utility billing system to another Page 140
