Managing Tomorrow's Resources Today Ms. Christy Kindig April 4, 2018 Page 2 of 3 4. Our significant local experience provides us with an understanding of the contracting arrangements and regional and State issues facing all Orange County cities. HF&H has been assisting Orange County cities with their solid waste needs for the past twenty-five years. Our Orange County clients have included: • City of Aliso Viejo • City of Anaheim • Costa Mesa Sanitary District • City of Dana Point • City of Fullerton • City of Garden Grove • City of Irvine • City of Laguna Niguel • City of La Habra • City of Lake Forest • City of La Palma • City of Mission Viejo • City of Newport Beach • City of Orange • County of Orange • City of Placentia • City of Rancho Santa Margarita • City of San Clemente • City of San Juan Capistrano • City of Santa Ana • City of Tustin • City of Yorba Linda 5. We are experts in the procurement and negotiation of solid waste services agreements, having assisted more than 100 California jurisdictions with the development of RFPs and agreements, evaluation of proposals, and negotiation of solid waste services agreements for refuse, recycling and organics collection, material processing services, and disposal. In some of our competitive procurements, costs to the ratepayers have been reduced by as much as 41 %. 6. HF&H Guides a structured process with high integrity that can withstand scrutiny from the public, elected officials, and proposers. The key to a successful contracting experience is a smooth, well managed process. As described in some of our client testimonial letters, city staff and elected officials have appreciated our guidance and successful results. 7. HF&H does not provide solid waste consulting services to waste haulers in order to avoid conflicts of interest that may arise in firms that attempt to serve public agencies and haulers. We believe this independence is particularly important for objective proposal evaluation and effective negotiations during the procurement of a solid waste services agreement. Additionally, our municipal focus ensures that we are aware of the unique requirements of public officials. 8. We are well acquainted with the solid waste rates, services, and programs implemented throughout Southern California as a result of our previous projects and on- going surveys of 200 cities in the counties of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and Ventura. We understand current trends in the local solid waste industry and we are familiar with the capabilities of the potential proposers. 9. The engagement will be managed from our Irvine office, making our staff readily available to participate in project meetings in a cost-effective manner.
