RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Environmental Science Associates, Inc., to increase the payment limit by $250,000 to a new limit of $750,000, and extend the term from December 31, 2022 through December 31, 2025, for continued technical consulting services associated with waste diversion programs.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No impact to the General Fund. The work performed under this contract will be funded by Solid Waste and Recycling Collection Franchise Fees and City/County Beverage Container funding.

BACKGROUND:

The proposed contract amendment will allow Environmental Science Associates, Inc. (ESA), to continue to provide Department of Conservation & Development (DCD) staff with technical consulting services that are needed to assist with solid waste diversion programs in the unincorporated areas of the County. ESA will continue to provide assistance with a variety of implementation and reporting activities under this contract, including but not limited to:




BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
  • Programs/activities targeting recycling and compostable waste streams generated by businesses and schools as mandated by AB 341, AB 1826, and SB 1383. For example, ESA will conduct waste assessments, analyze waste streams and prepare customized recommendations targeting opportunities to divert waste being generated by each business.
  • Programs/activities funded or required under the State funded Used Oil, Oil Filter and Beverage Container Recycling Programs.
  • Activities related to diversion and disposal reporting required to comply with State laws and regulations.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

ESA would not continue to perform technical consulting services associated with waste diversion programs for the County, which could result in some tasks not being completed to comply with state laws.
