ITEM 3 (1170-07)
SOLID WASTE FRANCHISE
Item introduced by City Manager Bowersox. Staff report by Director of Public
Services Williams. At the January 14, 1992 meeting, the City Council directed
staff to help achieve the mandates of AB 939 by managing solid waste and
recycling services through an exclusive franchise. An agreement was reached with
each of the existing permitted haulers in Poway that they would be the only
bidders in the franchise process. Staff has prepared a final implementation
timeline with recommendations for level of service to be received from the
franchisee. It was noted that although the best method of achieving recycling
goals is to have a volume-based pricing system, no other jurisdiction in the
County is doing that and we should remain consistent with the region for a
variety of reasons. It is anticipated that everyone will go to that type of
system eventually. The timeline calls for a formal bid process starting on May
27, 1994 with a bid opening on August 1 and full implementation of the franchise
on January 1, 1995. Council discussed request for proposal versus request for
bid. Director Williams noted that since the present five haulers were known to
us and could be considered responsible bidders, there was not a need to do a RFP

process. Council concurred there are many issues being discussed at the Solid
Waste Interim Commission that will affect the franchise and the way it is
structured for future changes.
There were representatives from several of the haulers present and Council
encouraged them to contact staff with their input into the process.
