City of Santa Ana Proposal to Provide Solid Waste Consulting Services RFP NO.: 18-006 Santa Monica selected the team of HDR Engineering and HF&H Consultants to prepare the Plan and to have HF&H tailor its proprietary Zero Waste/High Diversion Financial Model to Santa Monica. The HDR/HF&H team developed a four -phase approach to assist Santa Monica in realizing their Zero Waste goals: • Establish a baseline of Santa Monica's current diversion and disposal programs. • Formulate Santa Monica's Zero Waste guiding principles and establish milestones for achieving diversion goals and other environmental objectives. • Develop, through a stakeholder process, alternatives for Santa Monica's policy, programs and infrastructure. • Develop a financial analysis and rate review model to be incorporated into the Plan. HF&H Solution Financial and Cost Analysis HF&H developed the financial, cost and rate structure analyses. HF&H performed a robust analysis of implementation costs associated with programs selected by Santa Monica staff following initial analysis. HF&H staff used our Zero Waste/High Diversion Financial Model to: calculate current program performance statistics; compare Santa Monica's program performance to other benchmarks; and estimate implementation costs, and diversion goals for selected programs. Rate Structure Analysis HF&H and Santa Monica determined which programs are logical to fund through customer rates and which programs should be funded through other sources. HF&H calculated the percentage impact on customer rates for each of the selected programs, and modeled the rate impacts over the planning horizon in order to prioritize programs and schedule implementation to manage the associated rate impacts. HF&H was subsequently retained by Santa Monica to perform a rate study including an evaluation of the current rate structure and the impact of Zero Waste programs on customer rates under alternative structures.J[PM1] City of Diamond Bar Contract Negotiations (2008 and 2016) Project Description Client Reference Waste Management provides exclusive residential solid waste Mr. Ryan McLean collection services and Valley Vista Services provides exclusive (909) 839-7016 commercial solid waste collection services in the City of Diamond Bar.
