hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (hereinafter
referred to collectively as "the Licensed Equipment") , for a period
of time coterminous with the term of this Agreement. This license
to use the Licensed Equipment shall not be deemed an equipment
lease but, rather, a personal property license to use the Licensed
Equipment pursuant to the specific terms, covenants, obligations
and provisions of this Agreement. CONTRACTOR may not use the
Licensed Equipment for any other purposes or business. This
license is personal to the CONTRACTOR and shall not be assigned.
It is the intent of the parties hereto that the Licensed Equipment
shall be sufficient to permit CONTRACTOR to adequately perform its
9
performance obligations under this Agreement. If at any time, or
from time to time, the Licensed Equipment is not adequate for
CONTRACTOR to meet such obligations, or, the Solid Waste collection
and Recycling vehicles licensed pursuant to this section need to be
replaced for any reason, including loss, CONTRACTOR shall be
responsible for providing any and all additional or replacement
Solid Waste collection and Recycling vehicles and any and all
additional Solid Waste collection and Recycling carts as may be
necessary for the collection, Recycling and disposal of all Solid
Waste for which it is responsible under this Agreement.
(b) FINANCING: The Licensed Equipment being provided to
CONTRACTOR pursuant to section (a) hereunder is being acquired
pursuant to that certain "Installment Purchase Contract" ("IPC")
between the CITY and the California Environmental Finance
Corporation ("CEFC") dated June 1, 1996, a copy of which is on file
with the Clerk of the Council and which is incorporated herein by
this reference. CONTRACTOR hereby acknowledges the flow of funds
and priority of revenues set forth in Section 3 . 06 of the IPC,
which is further summarized on pages 12 and 13 of the Official
Statement accompanying the issuance of the tax exempt Certificates
of Participation ("C.O. P. s") which have been, or will be, issued by
CEFC to raise the funds necessary for it to purchase the Licensed
Equipment. While not required to do so, CEFC has agreed to acquire
the Licensed Equipment in accordance with the competitive bidding
procedures set forth in Section 421 of the CITY' S municipal
charter. The CITY agrees to take all necessary action and execute
all necessary documents to facilitate the issuance of the C.O.P. s
and to approve an excess proceeds certificate authorizing an excess
proceeds prepayment of the C.O.P. s as provided in Sections 3 . 11 and
4 . 01 (b) of that certain "Trust Agreement" by and among the CITY,
CEFC and Harris Trust Company of California, a copy of which is on
file with the Clerk of the Council and which is incorporated herein
by this reference.
(c) MAINTENANCE OF LICENSED EQUIPMENT: CONTRACTOR shall, at
its own expense, maintain and preserve the Licensed Equipment in
good repair and working order at all times and will operate the
Licensed Equipment in an efficient and economical manner and will
pay all maintenance and operation costs of the Licensed Equipment
as they become due and payable. On or before the first day of each
fiscal year, CONTRACTOR will prepare a budget setting forth the
estimated maintenance and operation costs of the Licensed Equipment
for such fiscal year.
(d) OPERATION OF LICENSED EQUIPMENT: CONTRACTOR shall be
fully responsible to the CITY for the storage, operation,
maintenance and management of the Licensed Equipment. CONTRACTOR
shall distribute the Solid Waste collection and Recycling carts
(one for Recyclable Solid Waste, one for Yard Waste and one for
non-Recyclable Solid Waste) to each Curbside Service Unit
throughout the CITY. CONTRACTOR will utilize the Licensed
10
Equipment solely to collect, recycle and/or dispose of Solid Waste
generated within the CITY for which it is responsible pursuant to
this Agreement.
(e) OPTION TO PURCHASE: At such time as the C.O.P. s used to
finance the Licensed Equipment are paid in full or otherwise
satisfied or demised, the CONTRACTOR shall have a ninety (90) day
option during which it may purchase the Licensed Equipment from the
CITY for the then fair market value thereof. Exercise of this
option shall be made by written notice from the CONTRACTOR to the
Executive Director. CITY and CONTRACTOR shall, within thirty (30)
days after such exercise, each select a licensed appraiser in the
field to determine said fair market value. The appraisers shall
submit their appraisals to both parties within thirty (30) days
after their selection, and the average between their appraised
values shall be deemed to be the fair market value. If CONTRACTOR
desires to purchase the Licensed Equipment, it must tender the full
fair market value to the CITY within forty five (45) days after
both appraisers have delivered their appraisals. If either
appraiser fails to act within the terms of this option or if either
party hereto fails to select an appraiser, the determination of the
sole appraiser shall be binding. The CONTRACTOR shall bear the
expense of both appraisers. The CITY agrees that if CONTRACTOR
elects to exercise this option it will, after tender of the full
purchase consideration, do all things proper and necessary to
transfer full title, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances,
to the Licensed Equipment to CONTRACTOR or its assignors. Should
CONTRACTOR not exercise this option to purchase the Licensed
Equipment then, at the termination of the license granted herein,
CONTRACTOR shall surrender possession of the Licensed Equipment to
CITY in good order and repair to the satisfaction of CITY, normal
wear and tear excepted.

owner and/or person in possession of the property will be required
to increase the number of bins, the size of the bin, or the
frequency of collections, up to the equivalent of two (2) cubic
yards per dwelling unit per week. In the event that this should
occur, the Executive Director shall determine whether to increase

33. TITLE TO SOLID WASTE:

thereof, in any fashion and for any lawful purpose desired by
CONTRACTOR and to retain any benefit or profit resulting therefrom
provided, however, that CONTRACTOR first complies with this
Agreement, the CITY'S SRRE and CIWNA.
34. FAILURE TO COLLECT:
(a) Should the CONTRACTOR fail to collect and recycle, divert
by means of composting, mulching and/or transforming or dispose of
Solid Waste in accordance with this Agreement and the collection

the CONTRACTOR shall be liable for all reasonable expenses thereby
incurred by the CITY.
(b) The CITY may give such notice for any specified
individual omission by CONTRACTOR in which event CONTRACTOR shall
be allowed a reasonable time of not less than forty eight (48)
hours to remedy such omission. In the event of substantial
nonperformance by CONTRACTOR for any reason, including a strike of
CONTRACTOR's employees, the notice shall continue in effect with
respect to Solid Waste originating thereafter as long as the
omission continues. In addition to any other lawful means of
effecting reimbursement from the CONTRACTOR, such expenses may be
deducted by the CITY from money due or which may become due the
CONTRACTOR. In addition, CITY shall be permitted to take control
and possession of the Licensed Equipment it owns pursuant to
Section 11 herein and shall be allowed to use, without charge, any

right of the CITY to enter upon and use facilities and equipment as
specified herein shall extend for a period of ninety (90) days.
(c) Should CONTRACTOR fail to collect, recycle, divert by
means of composting, mulching and/or transforming, and/or dispose
of Solid Waste in accordance with this Agreement, CONTRACTOR shall
be deemed to be in material default in the performance of its
obligations of this Agreement. In the event of such a material
default, the reasonable time for correction pursuant to Section 35
herein shall be seven (7) days.
35. DEFAULT, DAMAGES AND TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT:
(a) In the event CONTRACTOR defaults in the performance of
any of the obligations, covenants or agreements to be kept, done or
performed by it under the terms of this Agreement, or any other
applicable Federal, State, or local law or regulation, the CITY
shall notify CONTRACTOR in writing of the nature of such default.
(b) The Executive Director may, in such written instrument,
set a reasonable time within which correction of all such
deficiencies is to be made. Unless otherwise specified, a
reasonable time for correction shall be thirty (30) days from the
receipt by the CONTRACTOR of such written notice. If the
CONTRACTOR cannot reasonably correct or remedy the breach within
the time set forth in such notice, CONTRACTOR shall still be
required to commence to correct or remedy the violation within such
time as set forth in the notice and shall be required to diligently
achieve such correction or remedy as soon thereafter as possible.
27
(c) The Executive Director shall review the CONTRACTOR' S
response to the notice of deficiencies and shall either decide the
matter and notify the CONTRACTOR of that decision in writing, or,
refer the matter to the City Council. A decision or order of the
Executive Director shall be final and binding on CONTRACTOR if the
CONTRACTOR fails to file a "Notice of Appeal" with the City Clerk
within 10 days of receipt of the Executive Director' s decision.
Within thirty working days of receipt of a Notice of Appeal, the
City Clerk shall refer the appeal to the City Council for
proceedings in accordance with Chapter three of the Santa Ana
Municipal Code.
(d) In such case, the City Council may set the matter for
hearing. The City Clerk shall give CONTRACTOR written notice of
the time and place of the hearing. At the hearing, the City
Council shall consider the report of the Executive Director
indicating the deficiencies, and shall give the CONTRACTOR a
reasonable opportunity to be heard.
(e) Based on the evidence presented at the public hearing,
the City Council shall determine by Resolution whether this
Agreement should be terminated. If, based upon the record, the
City Council determines that the performance of CONTRACTOR is in
breach of any material term of this Agreement or any material
provision of any applicable Federal, State, or local statute or
regulation, the City Council, in the exercise of its sole
discretion, may terminate forthwith the Agreement. The decision of
the City Council shall be final and conclusive. CONTRACTOR' s
performance under the Agreement is not excused during the period of
time prior to the City Council ' s final determination as to whether
such performance is deficient.
(f) The rights of termination or imposition of liquidated
damages, as set forth in Section 36 hereof, are in addition to any
other rights of CITY upon a failure of CONTRACTOR to perform its
obligations under this Agreement. The CITY further reserves the
right to terminate CONTRACTOR' s Agreement or impose liquidated
damages in the event of any of the following:
(1) If the CONTRACTOR practices, or attempts to
practice, any fraud upon the CITY;
(2) If the CONTRACTOR becomes insolvent, unable, or
unwilling to pay its debts, or upon listing of an order for relief
in favor of CONTRACTOR in a bankruptcy proceeding;
(3) If the CONTRACTOR fails to provide or maintain in
full force and effect the workers ' compensation, liability or
indemnification coverage as required by this Agreement;
(4) If the CONTRACTOR willfully violates any orders or
rulings of any regulatory body having jurisdiction over the
CONTRACTOR relative to this Agreement, provided that the CONTRACTOR
may contest any such orders or rulings by appropriate proceedings
conducted in good faith, in which case no breach of this Agreement
shall be deemed to have occurred;
28
(5) If the CONTRACTOR willfully fails to make any
payments required under the Agreement and/or refuses to provide the
CITY with required information and/or reports in a timely manner as
provided in this Agreement; or,
(6) Any other act or omission by the CONTRACTOR which
materially violates the terms, conditions, or requirements of this
Agreement, CIWMA, as it may be amended from time to time, or any
order, directive, rule, or regulation issued thereunder and which
is not corrected or remedied within the time set in the written
notice of the violation.
(g) In addition to the remedies set forth herein, the CITY
shall have the right to obtain damages and/or injunctive relief.
Both parties recognize and agree that in the event of a breach
under the terms of this Agreement by CONTRACTOR, the CITY may
suffer irreparable injury and incalculable damages sufficient to
support injunctive relief, to enforce the provisions of this
Agreement and to enjoin the breach thereof.
(h) If CONTRACTOR claims default by the CITY in the payment
of any money due or alleged to be due to CONTRACTOR pursuant to
this Agreement, CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to cancel this
Agreement if the CITY, within seven (7) days after receipt of
notice of the claimed default, deposits the amount in controversy
into an interest bearing account in a commercial bank or lending
institution and maintains such deposit until such time as a final
judicial decision or agreement between the parties determines the
rightful disposition of the said amount in controversy; provided
that CONTRACTOR shall be deemed to have waived all claims to the
said amount if no agreement is reached nor any legal proceeding
initiated within ninety (90) days of the CONTRACTOR' s service of
written notice of default on the CITY.
36. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES:
(a) The CITY finds, and the CONTRACTOR agrees, that as of the
time of the execution of this Agreement it is impractical, if not
impossible, to reasonably ascertain the extent of damages which
shall be incurred by the CITY as a result of a breach by CONTRACTOR
of its obligations under this Agreement. The factors relating to
the impracticability of ascertaining damages include, but are not
limited to, the fact that: (i) substantial damage results to
members of the public who are denied Solid Waste collection
services or denied quality or reliable collection service; (ii)
such breaches cause inconvenience, anxiety, frustration, and
deprivation of the benefits of this Agreement to individual members
of the general public for whose benefit this Agreement exists, in
subjective ways and in varying degrees of intensity which are
incapable of measurement in precise monetary terms; (iii) that the
monetary loss resulting from denial of services or denial of
quality or reliable services is impossible to calculate in precise
monetary terms; and, (iv) the termination of this Agreement for
29
such breaches, and other remedies are, at best, a means of future
correction and not remedies which make the public whole for past
breaches.
(b) Accordingly, the CITY may, in its discretion but after
complying with the notice and hearing procedures set forth in
Section 35, assess liquidated damages of Five Hundred Dollars
($500. 00) per day, for each calendar day that collection service is
not provided by CONTRACTOR in accordance with this Agreement. The
amount of the liquidated damages shall be subject to an annual CPI
adjustment computed at one hundred (100%) percent of the CPI for
All Urban Consumers (base years 1982-1984 = 100) for Los Angeles-
Anaheim-Riverside CMSA, published by the United States Department
of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.
(c) The CITY finds, and the CONTRACTOR acknowledges and
agrees, that the above described liquidated damages provisions
represent a reasonable sum in light of all of the circumstances.
Said liquidated damages sums shall be applicable to each calendar
day of delay during which CONTRACTOR has been found by the CITY to
be in default after having been given the proper notice and hearing
set forth in Section 35 of this Agreement. The CONTRACTOR shall
pay any liquidated damages assessed by the CITY within ten (10)
calendar days after they are assessed. If they are not paid within
the ten (10) day period, the CITY may order the termination of this
Agreement.
37. USE BY CITY OF CONTRACTOR'S EOUIPMENT:
Upon cancellation of this Agreement by either party for any
reason prior to the end of the period specified herein as the term
of this Agreement, the CITY shall take possession and control of
all vehicles and equipment which it has licensed to CONTRACTOR
pursuant to Section 11 herein and CITY shall also have the
exclusive right to rent or lease and operate any or all trucks,
trailers, tractors and other items of equipment used by CONTRACTOR
in the performance of the work specified in this Agreement.
Further, the City shall have access to the MRF and composting
facilities used by the CONTRACTOR for the Processing, Recycling and
Yard Waste Diversion of Solid Waste produced or accumulated within
the CITY. The right of the CITY to enter upon and use facilities
and equipment as specified herein shall extend following the date
of cancellation of this Agreement for a period of ninety (90)
consecutive calendar days. The rental prices to be paid the
CONTRACTOR under this section shall be such to adequately reflect
the most current rental prices prevailing in the County of Orange
at the date of termination.
Any moneys due the CONTRACTOR for rental of the equipment
under the provisions of this section may be withheld by the CITY
and used by it for the purpose of paying any outstanding liens or
payments due and unpaid upon the said equipment.
30
38. COMPLAINTS:
(a) The CITY shall record all complaints and communications
received by the CITY from persons and businesses being served under
the provisions of this Agreement and all other incidents of failure
to perform in accordance with this Agreement noted by the CITY.
The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible to resolve such complaints
within two (2) business days of receipt thereof. CONTRACTOR shall
likewise record all complaints received by CONTRACTOR in a daily
log which shall include the complaint, the communication, the date,
time, complainant 's name and address if provided, and the nature,
date and manner of resolution of the complaint. A copy of said log
shall be delivered to the Executive Director on a quarterly basis;
however, the Executive Director reserves the right to require the
CONTRACTOR to deliver, or send via telephone facsimile, such
records to the Executive Director within twenty four (24) hours of
receipt thereof.
(b) The failure of the CONTRACTOR to pick up Solid Waste
which has been set out in the proper manner shall be considered a
missed pick-up, and the CONTRACTOR shall collect the material from
the service recipient within twenty-four (24) hours of the
CONTRACTOR's receipt of notification of the missed pick-up. If the
CONTRACTOR is notified of a missed pick-up by 9: 00 a.m. the
following business day, the missed pick-up will be collected that
same day. The CONTRACTOR shall maintain a written record of all
calls related to missed pick-ups and the service response provided
by the CONTRACTOR. Such records shall be made available for
inspection upon request by the Executive Director.
39. COMPENSATION REDUCTION DURING STRIKE PERIOD:
In the event that there occurs any period in which CONTRACTOR
fails to maintain substantially complete regular collection
services pursuant to this Agreement and the collection schedules
then in effect, by reason of a strike or CONTRACTOR's failure to
pay his employees, and only if such period includes more than ten
(10) normal collection days (weekdays) , then the following shall
apply.
(a) The City Council may assess damages against the
CONTRACTOR in an amount which does not exceed the sum of the
following:
(1) The expenses incurred by the CITY in providing
collection, Recycling, Yard Waste Diversion and/or disposal
services pursuant to Section 34; and,
(2) Fifty percent (50%) of the amount by which CITY
revenue from fees collected for curbside service by the CITY from
the public is reduced due to any reduction or refund of such fees
granted by the City Council to compensate such fee payers for the
inconvenience experienced by them due to CONTRACTOR' s failure to
furnish full performance during such period.
31
(b) In assessing damages, the City Council shall take into
account the CONTRACTOR's efforts to mitigate the inconvenience to
the public receiving curbside service. In particular, CONTRACTOR
shall be given credit for Curbside Service Unit collections made by
CONTRACTOR by having damages assessed, subject to the above said
maximum, in approximately the same proportion to the compensation
due CONTRACTOR for curbside service during the subject period as
the number of Curbside Service Unit collections which CONTRACTOR
failed to make bears to the total number of Curbside Service Unit
collections which should have been made pursuant to this Agreement.
(c) In addition to any other lawful means of effecting
recovery of the damages assessed against CONTRACTOR the amount
thereof may be deducted by CITY from money due or which may become
due to the CONTRACTOR either in single sum or in installments. In
the event CONTRACTOR objects to such assessment or set-off, it
shall nevertheless maintain full performance under this Agreement,
reserving all rights to subsequently litigate the propriety or
amount of the damages assessed.
(d) Refunds or reduction of payments of CONTRACTOR' s
Customers shall be the sole responsibility of CONTRACTOR.
CONTRACTOR covenants for the benefit of each such Customer to grant
a reasonable and fair refund or reduction or compensatory service;
provided, however, that the CONTRACTOR may condition such refunds
or reductions or compensatory service upon the Customer' s filing of
a claim for the same with the CONTRACTOR. To the extent Bin or
Roll-Off Service collections are made at CITY 'S expense in the
absence of CONTRACTOR' s performance, CONTRACTOR shall be liable to
CITY for a proportionate amount of the Customers ' payments due to
the CONTRACTOR.
40. FEES AND GRATUITIES:
CONTRACTOR shall not, nor shall it permit any agent, employee
or subcontractor employed by it to, request, solicit, demand, or
accept, either directly or indirectly, any compensation or gratuity
for the collection of Solid Waste otherwise required to be
collected under this Agreement, except such compensation as is
provided for in this Agreement. However, CONTRACTOR may make
available to Bin Service users special services as provided for in
Section 28 hereof. CONTRACTOR may make a direct charge in each
instance for such service under a written agreement which shall be
subject to the approval of the Executive Director and at such rates
as are reasonable, just and uniform for all persons requesting such
additional services. All such charges shall be collected by
CONTRACTOR. Nothing in this section or in this Agreement shall be
construed, however, to require CONTRACTOR to render services of any
kind to any person to the extent such services are not specifically
required by the provisions of this Agreement, or to require that
CONTRACTOR having rendered special or additional services not
provided for herein to one or more persons, to offer or render the
same services to any other person or entity.
32
41. LEGAL RELATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
(a) Applicable Laws: CONTRACTOR shall at all times comply
with all applicable provisions of the Code, as now in effect or
hereafter enacted, as well as all other applicable County, State

to pick up and collect any material or matter which is not Solid
Waste as defined in this Agreement or to decline to pick up and
collect Solid Waste which does not comply with the standards and
limitations set forth in this Agreement, or otherwise operate to

of CONTRACTOR' s operations and CONTRACTOR shall have this clause
endorsed on their Workers ' Compensation policies.

performed pursuant to this Agreement, whether such operations be by

subcontractors. Such policy or policies shall contain severability
of interests clauses so that the rights and duties of the CITY are
clearly separate from CONTRACTOR' s interests. Said policy or
policies shall also contain a provision that no termination,
cancellation or change of coverage of insured or additional insured
shall be effective until after thirty (30) days prior written

✓/ RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt a resolution establishing the refuse collection curbside
rate at $14 . 02 per month for FY 1996-97 .
2 . Adopt a resolution approving the agreements required to
finance the City' s recycling project.
3 . Authorize the City Attorney to prepare and the Mayor and the
Clerk of the Council to execute an agreement with Great
Western Reclamation reflecting the changes in the City' s
recycling program, the change in the program surcharge and
extending the contract through June 2008 .
DISCUSSION
In 1989 the State legislature passed Assembly Bill (AB) 939 which
became known as the California Integrated Waste Management Act.
The Act requires each city and county in the State to develop a
plan for reducing the amount of refuse disposed of in the county
landfills . The law mandates a 25% reduction in the amount of
refuse taken to the landfill by 1995 and a 50% reduction in the
amount of refuse taken to the landfill by 2000.
The City of Santa Ana adopted the required Source Reduction and
Recycling Element (SRRE) in June 1992. This plan includes the
recycling and composting programs required to meet the mandatory
reductions .

Resolution Establishing Curbside Rate
April 1, 1996
Page 2
In 1993 the City Council sought competitive proposals for refuse
collection, disposal and recycling services. Great Western
Reclamation submitted the lowest prices and was awarded a five year
agreement (from 1993 through 1998) .
In July 1993 the City began implementing its recycling program. At
that time, one-third of the City' s refuse was taken to a materials
recovery facility for processing. Two-thirds of the refuse was
processed beginning in January 1994 . The entire system was
processed beginning in July 1994 . Residents have been required to
separate only their newspapers and yard waste.
The City has met the required reduction by 25% in 1995. However,
the City needs to review and refine its system in order to meet the
50% requirement in 2000.
In preparing the FY 1996-97 budget, staff is projecting a deficit
in revenues as compared with expenditures. Each agency has sought
ways to reduce the deficit. Staff from the Public Works Agency has
met with Great Western Reclamation and requested long term
solutions for eliminating the City' s projected deficit. The
proposed changes in the City' s recycling program are designed to
meet the City' s obligation of AB939 , to address the City ' s budget
deficit and to stabilize the rates to the customer.
Residential (Curbside) System
Great Western Reclamation currently collects the curbside waste
manually, using front-loading vehicles. Residents are required to
bag their green waste and sort their newspapers; all other
materials are mixed. All materials are taken to a materials
recovery facility where the recyclables are pulled out and sold.
The non-recyclable waste is hauled to the landfill for disposal .
With the proposed system, Great Western will use automated
collection vehicles. Three carts with wheels will be provided to
each household - for green waste (96 gal . ) , for recyclables (64
gal . ) and for garbage (96 gal. ) . The recyclables which will be
sorted by the residents will be taken to the MRF for further
sorting and sale. Green waste will be hauled to a composter.
Garbage will be taken directly to the landfill. This system has
the advantage of having less contamination of the recyclables and
reduces the cost of sorting the trash with no recyclable content.
Most importantly, the proposed program is expected to increase
curbside diversion from 19% to 40%
75 % 342
Resolution Establishing Curbside Rate
April 1, 1996
Page 3
To implement the system Great Western Reclamation is proposing that
the City finance the carts and new vehicles through the California
Environmental Finance Corporation (a non-profit entity formed to
assist local government with capital financing) by issuing 12 year
Certificates of Participation (COP' s) . The City is eligible for
tax exempt financing (which translates into lower borrowing
interest rates) , which in turn will increase the savings paid to
the City. The costs of COP' s will be paid by GWR (subtracted from
the fees paid to Great Western for the curbside program) . The City
must extend Great Western' s agreement for 10 years to guarantee the
payment of the COP' s. In addition, the City must execute
agreements specifying the terms and arranging for the issuance of
the COP' s for the program.
The program will take several months to implement. Before the
program can begin, the new trucks and carts must be ordered and
delivered, and the public must be educated. The new system is
expected to begin in the Fall .
The rates paid by the curbside customer were considered as a key
part of this proposal . The proposal includes a rate stabilization
plan. The proposed rates for the curbside customer will be as
follows:
1996-97 decrease of $. 97 per month (from
$14 . 99 to $14 . 02)
1997-98 no increase in GWR' s rates*
1998-99 no increase in GWR' s rates*
1999-2000 no increase in GWR's rate *
2000-2001 no increase in GWR' s rate *
Future 75% of CPI ; maximum 7%
* unless the CPI exceeds 4% - maximum increase of 3%
The rate for FY 1996-97 reflects a recent decrease in the landfill
rate (determined by the County of Orange) and an increase of one
percent in the consumer price index. The County has indicated that
it intends to maintain the landfill rate at the same level ($27 per
ton) for the next five to seven years, although there is no
guarantee of that intention. Any changes in the landfill rates
will be passed through to the customer.

Commercial/Residential Bin Service
Great Western Reclamation currently collects the bin waste using
front-loading bin trucks. All of the City' s commercial and
residential bin waste is currently being hauled to a Materials
Recovery Facility (MRF) for sorting.
With the proposed system, Great Western will continue using the
same vehicles, however, they will revise their bin routes so that
all "dry" loads (those that are high in recyclables) will go to MRF
and all "wet" loads (those that are low in recyclables) will go
directly to the landfill. This system has the advantage of having
less contamination of the recyclables and reduces the cost of
sorting the trash with no salvage content. The proposed program
expected to increase bin service diversion from 16% to 19% .
The changes in the City' s bin services require a much shorter
implementation period. Great Western Reclamation can reroute the
system within eight to twelve weeks. The program, if approved this
month, will be implemented by July 1, 1996 .
The proposed rate paid by the commercial bin customer (3 yard bin,
once-per-week pickup) will be decreased by $2 . 59 per month (from
$73 . 57 to $70 . 98) ; the proposed rate paid by the residential bin
customer will be decreased by $2 .79 per month (from $89 . 86 to
$87. 07) . These decreases reflect the reduction in the landfill
rate and a one percent increase in the program surcharge to cover
the increase in the consumer price index. In future years, changes
in Great Western Reclamation' s rate will be 75% of the consumer
price index, up to a maximum increase of 7% .
Payment to the City
The proposed system is expected to generate a savings of
$2, 581, 200 . The cost of the COP' s is expected to be $1, 199 ,700.
The difference - which is equal to the savings - is to be paid to
the City. Great Western Reclamation has estimated the savings at
$1, 381, 500 per year and is willing to guarantee the savings each
year of the contract.
Requirements of AB939
The proposed changes in the City' s curbside and bin recycling
program are estimated to greatly increase the percent of refuse
that is diverted from the landfill. With these changes and the two
construction and demolition agreements recently approved by the
City Council, Santa Ana ' s diversion is expected to reach 48%.
Public education efforts to encourage the community to generate
less waste are estimated to improve the City' s diversion by 2%.
Together these improvements will allow the City to reach its AB939
goal of reducing its waste stream by 50% by the year 2000.
