Page 2 <br />added value services should increase. The City should leverage the strategy of synergistic <br />competition to help improve value of services. <br />Increase Use Of Resource Recovery Facilities <br />In compliance with state and county requirements, the City will continue to implement <br />strategies to direct Refuse to resource recovery facilities and reduce direct landfilling of <br />unprocessed Refuse. <br />Lessen Environmental Impacts <br />The City will continue to develop strategies that reduce air pollution emissions, noise, and <br />litter from Refuse and Recycling Collection operations. This will also reduce truck fuel <br />consumption and improve overall environmental sustainability of the system. <br />Minimize Disruption To Residents <br />If any change is made to the solid waste Collection system, the City should consider how to <br />minimize disruptions to residents. This includes (but is not limited to) minimizing changes <br />to service operations such as day of the week and frequency of Collection. <br />Optimize Administrative Efficiency <br />The administrative costs to the City of Saint Anthony shall be kept to a minimum. This <br />includes costs of planning, designing, implementing, managing and overseeing the solid <br />waste system. This criterion shall also be applied to evaluating the most efficient means to <br />manage any new solid waste contracts, including any billing and payment systems. <br />Promote Local Economic Development <br />The City will strive to grow jobs related to and supported by the solid waste management <br />industries. The City will continue to encourage innovative start-up businesses that improve <br />local market development for reusable and recoverable resources. <br />Reduce Road Wear Impacts <br />The City will work closely with the solid waste and Recycling industry to reduce road wear <br />impacts of heavy Collection trucks. One measure of this criterion is to reduce the number of <br />truck miles driven in the City to collect solid waste materials. <br />1.TERM OF CONTRACT <br />The term of this Contract relating to the commencement of services to Customers shall begin on <br />April 1, 2023, and terminate on March 31, 2028.
