City Council Meeting 1-9-96 Santa Monica, California
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: City staff
SUBJECT: Agreement with Southern California Disposal Company
to Provide As-Needed Solid Waste Transfer
station Services
Introduction
This report recommends that the City Council waive competitive
bidding requirements and authorize the city Manager to enter into
an agreement with Southern California Disposal company to provide
solid waste transfer station services on an as-needed basis to the
city.
Discussion
Southern California Disposal Company operates a solid refuse
transfer station at 1908 Frank Street, approximately 1 block from
the City's solid waste transfer station. It would be useful for
the City to use the SCD transfer station from time to time in the
future as a backup to the city transfer station, whenever the city
transfer station is overloaded or inoperable as a result of vehicle
or equipment outages, personnel shortages, or for any other reason.
SCD currently owes the City the sum of $73,504.63 for use of the
City's transfer station prior to construction and permitting of its
own transfer station. SCD has agreed to accept 1,671 tons of the
City'S solid waste at no charge, which will relieve SCD of .tAN 0 9 1996

-:r -
outstanding obligation to the city. Additionally, SCD has agreed
to accept a portion of the City's solid waste at a specified rate
after the above-described obligation has been satisfied. The rate
to be paid by the City will be below the city's transfer station
public rate and will reflect current costs for processing,
transportation and disposal of solid waste in the region.
Before the city can deliver solid waste to the SCD transfer
station, SCD will require a permit review by the County of Los
Angeles, Department of Health Services, which, is the Local
Enforcement Agency for transfer station permitting. The County, in
turn, will require a resolution from the City Council, confirming
that the City agrees to a revision to SCD's permit to allow them to
accept solid waste from City vehicles. This permit revision
process should be completed within the next two months.
An agreement has been prepared between the City and SCD. It
provides the City flexibility and reliability in handling solid
waste, while protecting the city's interests with regard to SCD
transfer station operations.
BUDGETARY/FINANCIAL IMPACT
Entering into this agreement will provide a means for the City to
recover the $73,504.63 obligation owed by SCD, without the
necessity for legal action. Additional utilization of SCD's
services on an as-needed basis will be paid for from existing
2
budgeted funds in Solid Waste Management account number 27-500-441-
00000-5507-00000.
RECOMMENDATION
Since there are no other transfer stations reasonably able to
accept solid waste from City vehicles, it is recommended that the
City Council adopt the attached resolution waiving the competitive
bidding requirements for transfer station services, and authorize
the City Manager to enter into an agreement with SCD to accept
solid waste from City vehicles at SCD's transfer station at agreed
prices.
