Stillwater <br />The city of Stillwater contracts with Waste Management for all collection services. The City has <br />tended to negotiate and extend contracts (Waste Management purchased the previous contracted <br />hauler) rather than competitively bid. <br />Stillwater is in Washington County and all the information regarding Washington County in the <br />Woodbury subsection applies to Stillwater. <br />4.5 Rate Information <br />As mentioned in Section 3.3, rate information was sought to provide data for comparisons <br />between different management approaches. This section summarizes the billing statement <br />survey results for only the in-depth cities. The corresponding cost data from the ten in-depth <br />cities was included previously in Section 3.3 to provide a broader data base for that analysis. <br />The rate data from the in-depth cities is included separately in this section as well. <br />A total of 82 billing survey responses were received from the in-depth cities. Some of the billing <br />information was collected from city and hauler websites to verify information or obtain <br />information for cities that did not have any billing survey responses. Sixty-nine of the survey <br />responses are from cities with an open MSW collection system. Thirteen survey responses are <br />from cities with an organized MSW collection system. <br />A summary matrix of the rate data for the in-depth cities is provided in Appendix D. Each line <br />in the table represents rate data for a particular city and a particular hauler. The costs for the <br />different levels of service (generally 30, 60 and 90 gallon containers and commonly each size <br />container has variations such as the 30 gallon container sizes range from 30 to 35 gallons) are <br />shown for each city and hauler. The breakdown of the costs is shown for each service using the <br />best data provided. <br />Table 4-3 summarizes the average monthly service rates charged to residents in the in-depth <br />cities. These costs include the base rate for the service, tax, surcharges, and recycling costs as <br />provided by the participants. <br />88 •Foth Infrastructure & Environment, LLC R - Analysis of Waste Collection Service Arrangements.doc <br />June 2009 <br />
