Directions were made to effect some changes or modifications to that proposed contract. Changes have been made and the major change that was made was an adjustment in the language so that bulky items would be picked up at anytime they are placed out for collection. As a result of Council review and Staff review several minor changes were also made. Mayor King stated that the changes with respect to the second draft were so noted. Council then discussed different items within the proposed contract and made the following suggestions and directions: Regarding financial records on page 39 39D) delete beginning with, City agrees to contest vigorously....", and insert that, The City of Baldwin Park will treat in strictest confidentiality". Council concurred. Regarding temporary default on page 34, Council recommended requiring a $200,000 performance bond from the franchisee, council concurred. Regarding rate increases Council recommended that the first two years be the initial rate indicated in the contract, barring any emergency type adjustments. After two years the franchisee can come in for normal increases using the calculations in the contract Regarding length of contract Council recommended that a seven 7) year contract be negotiated. Council requested that representatives from any refuse firm, that were present, to come forward with any com- ments that they might have. John Summer, Assistant General Manager, Websters Refuse Disposal, stated that from the hauler's perspec- tive a seven year contract is very useful, because the set-up is very expensive. Cost of equipment and depreciation over a five year period would be expensive and would raise the rates. He also stated that he had not seen the proposed contract that Council is discussing. Dale Newton, President, Best Disposal, Monrovia, home address, 943 Balboa Drive, Arcadia, stated that he had not seen the proposed contract and questioned whether this was a Request for Proposal or a Request for Bid. He also stated that the seven year contract is much preferable and explained the difficulty in projecting costs over a two year period, because refuse companies are most effected by insurance costs and tipping fees.
