70 Table 2 Residential Collectors' Reported Fees vs. Proposed Fees - Before Taxes (Units: $ per household per month) Sources: (a) Residential Collectors' Annual "Garbage Hauler/Recycling License" applications as submitted to the City (average of three collectors' reported rates, weighted by market share); (b) Table l "Subtotal " of collector proposed fees (trash + recycling) The reported fees as summarized in Table 2 provide one means of comparing proposed contract prices for base trash collection fees in Table 1 (both tables are before taxes). The weighted -average from Table 2 of reported prices is $18.45 per household per week. The average proposed fees (trash + recycling) from Table 1 is $18.00, or about 2% lower than the current reported prices weighted average. Another means of comparison was offered by the collectors. They estimated the "current market prices" for trash + recycling (before taxes). The collectors' estimates of "current market prices" for weekly trash service were: $19.12 for a small trash cart; $20.60 for a medium trash cart; and $21.92 for a large trash cart. This results in a simple (i.e., unweighted), average of $20.55 from the collector's "current market prices" (weekly trash cart service only). The difference between this "current market price" average and the proposed (Table 1) average contract prices for weekly trash + recycling service is $2.55 per household per month ($20.55 - $18.00) or 12% of the collectors' estimate for "current market prices." Our understanding is that the three companies compiled an average of selected trash rates currently charged to City residents for purposes of comparing "current market prices" to their proposed contract prices. The source/raw data were not provided to the City, only a "Summary of Current Monthly Market Price Savings." We understand that `current market prices" include collection and disposal costs but not taxes. It is important to note the collectors are comparing current "open hauling" rates as paid by customers to the proposed prices for the City contract. What residents pay may not be the same as what the City could pay its contractor within a potential future contract. The City will have additional administrative costs (see discussion and estimates above) that are not yet Proposed Percent Current Trash + Change ('/.of Reported Recycling Current Trash Service Level Prices (a) Subtotal (b) Re -ported) Small trash cart (weekly) $17.26 $15.97 -7% Medium trash cart (weekly) $18.61 $17.88 4% Large trash cart (weekly) $19.50 1 $20.14 1 3% Average (weekly levels only) $18.45 1 $18.00 1 -2% Sources: (a) Residential Collectors' Annual "Garbage Hauler/Recycling License" applications as submitted to the City (average of three collectors' reported rates, weighted by market share); (b) Table l "Subtotal " of collector proposed fees (trash + recycling) The reported fees as summarized in Table 2 provide one means of comparing proposed contract prices for base trash collection fees in Table 1 (both tables are before taxes).
