SURVEY QUESTION

The following question will be used in the Citizen’s Survey regarding Trash and Recycling Collection
Services:
“How would you rate garbage and recycling collection provided by the City’s trash and recycling
contractor, Republic Services, in the past 12 months? (Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair or Poor)”
EXHIBIT “E”
RESIDENTIAL RECYCLING
Page 35
City and Contractor agree to negotiate each year, an annual adjustment to the Residential Recycle Rate based on the
provisions set forth in this Exhibit.
I. Definitions
a. Annual Recycle Audit – means a process by which, Contractor will annually conduct an audit of loads
received from the City at Contractor’s Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) over a period of one week.
Contractor will take a portion of a load from each route on each collection day of the week, separate and
weigh each Material Type to produce the percentage of each Material Type contained in the delivered
materials. Republic will produce a weighted average of each Material Type from all samples collected, to
include in its annual reporting requirements as later described in this Exhibit.
b. Commodity Value- means the average amount Contractor receives per 12-month period on the sale of
Contractor Materials processed at the facility receiving the City’s Recyclable Material.
c. Material Type - means the various types of materials contained in the residential recycle stream collected
from the Residential Units located in the City, including, but not limited to; Old Corrugated Cartons (“OCC”),
Mixed paper products, plastic containers, glass bottles and jars, steel and tin cans, aluminum cans, aseptic
packaging (wax coated milk and juice cartons), non-recyclables, non-marketable materials and residual
materials that are unable to be sorted and captured for resale.
d. Net Processing Rate – means the Commodity Value minus the Processing Rate.
e. Initial Net Processing Rate – means the Commodity Value minus the Processing Rate as of the effective date
of this agreement, or the effective date of any renewal terms.
f. Processing Rate – means the current rate Contractor’s MRF charges to process Recyclable Materials.
g. Residential Recycle Rate – The total rate to be charged to City by Contractor for residential recycling
collection and processing, which includes the Collection Component and the Processing Component.
II. Calculation of the Net Processing Rate – For the purposes of this Agreement, the base value of the Processing
Rate is $80 per ton, and the Commodity Value is $46.98 per ton, resulting in a base Net Processing Rate of
($33.02) per ton.
III. Residential Recycle Rate – The rate established herein for residential recycling shall be based on two separate
components that collectively comprise the Residential Recycle Rate; a) the collection and hauling rate
(“Collection Component”) and, b) the recycling processing and commodity sales component (“Processing
Component”). The calculation for determining the base amount for the Collection Component and the Processing
Component shall be as follows:
Residential Recycle Rate effective October 1, 2018 - $4.70
Annual tons of residential recycle materials collected - 3,624 (Aug-2017 through July-2018)
Net Processing Rate ($33.02)
Net annual processing cost ($119,664)
Monthly Cost ($9,972)
Number of Homes 9,401
Monthly Processing Component per home $1.06
Monthly Collection Component per home $3.64
Total Residential Recycle Rate $4.70
IV. Annual Residential Recycle Rate Adjustment. – On each anniversary of the Effective Date of this Agreement,
Contractor will be allowed to adjust the Collection Component of the Residential Recycle Rate by the Increase
Percentage as detailed in Section V., subsection (b).
Contractor shall also evaluate the Processing Component of the Residential Recycle Rate based on any changes
in Commodity Value and Processing Rates. The Contractor shall submit the adjusted Processing Component and
the calculation used to determine the Net Processing Rate and Processing Component, to the City in conjunction
with the Annual Rate Adjustment The Net Processing Rate over the most recent twelve month period shall be
compared to the last identified Net Processing Rate to determine the change in the Processing Component
Page 36
portion of the Residential Recycle Rate, if any. Contractor shall provide the City a report on a monthly basis
detailing the commodity value by material type and processing rate of the Contractor’s processing facility for the
City’s recyclable materials. This report should capture the Contractor’s cost and be in an acceptable form to the
City. The calculation of the twelve month period Net Processing Charge should be based on the data reported to
the City in this report.
V. Initial Recycle Audit – Contractor and City agree to conduct an initial audit of the materials collected from the
City’s residential curbside recycling program sometime in October of 2018, which will establish the base
percentage of Material Type’s contained in the recovered materials.
VI. Annual Recycle Audit – Contract shall conduct an audit of the Material Type’s each April or May beginning in
2019 and annually thereafter throughout the initial term of the Agreement, and any renewal terms.
VII. The calculation used to determine the Residential Recycle Rate shall be as follows:
Example 1
Collection Component
Current Monthly Collection Component per home $3.64
Increase Percentage 3.0%
Increase to Monthly Collection Component $ .11
New Monthly Collection Component $3.75
Processing Component
Current Monthly Processing Component $1.06
Current Commodity Value $45.00 per ton

Net Processing Rate - ($37.00) per ton
Annual tons collected 3,700 tons
Annual Processing Cost $136,900
Monthly Processing Cost $11,408
Number Homes 9,401
New Monthly Processing Component $1.21
New Monthly Collection Component $3.75
New Monthly Processing Component $1.21
New Residential Recycle Rate $4.96
Total Increase % 5.53% (4.96-4.70)/4.70
Example 2
Collection Component
Current Monthly Collection Component per home $3.64
Increase Percentage 3.0%
Increase to Monthly Collection Component $ .11
New Monthly Collection Component $3.75
Processing Component
Current Monthly Processing Component $1.06
Current Commodity Value $50.00 per ton
Current Processing Rate $80.00 per ton
Net Processing Rate - ($30.00) per ton
Annual tons collected 3,700 tons
Annual Processing Cost $111,000
Monthly Processing Cost $9,250
Number Homes 9,401
New Monthly Processing Component $.98
Page 37
New Monthly Collection Component $3.75
New Monthly Processing Component $.98
New Residential Recycle Rate $4.73
Total Increase % .0064% (4.73-4.70)/4.70
In the event the Net Processing Rate for any current year is greater than zero, Contractor agrees to share 50% of
the savings with the City through either; a monthly reduction in the Monthly Residential Recycle Rate, or a lump
sum payment to the City. The justification for the share percentage is to provide an equal partnership with the City
that incentivizes Contractor to invest in, and engage in aggressive marketing efforts for the recovered
commodities, and incentivizes the City and Contractor to engage in community educational outreach efforts to
reduce the contaminates in material stream, which could lead to lower processing costs and higher commodity
sales.
City and Contractor agree that any rate adjustments related to the Residential Recycling Rate exceeding the
maximum annual increase of 3% are subject to the terms and conditions of Section V., subsection b., the
“Extraordinary Increase.”
EXHIBIT “F”
FUEL SURCHAGE
Page 38
Fuel Surcharge percentage shall be in addition to any rate increase as
determined by Section V - Fees and Rates, (b) Modification of Rates. The
average price per gallon for diesel fuel for the period since the previous
price adjustment and the schedule below shall be used to determine the
applicable fuel surcharge percentage. The fuel prices published by the
Department of Energy for the Gulf Coast Region shall be used to
determine the average fuel price. Beginning October 1, 2018, and every
year thereafter, the fuel surcharge percentage shall be the applicable
percentage as determined from the schedule below less any fuel surcharge
percentage which was implemented in prior year(s). See Example for how
to apply Fuel Surcharge.
