RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA WAIVING THE BID REQUIREMENTS, REQUESTING
COUNCIL APPROVAL OF THE AGREEMENT AND AUTHORIZING
THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH ORGANIC
RECYCLING WEST, INC. FOR GREEN WASTE, PROCESSING
AND MARKETING SERVICES
WHEREAS, the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (AB 939)
requires that each City and County within the State develop and implement an Integrated
Solid Waste Management Plan that will divert 50% of its annual waste generation from
landfills by the year 2000; and
WHEREAS, to meet the intent and spirit of AB 939, the City established a program to
collect, process and market green waste in 1993; and
WHEREAS, a significant component of the green waste program's success has been
its use of a permitted compost company in the San Diego Recycling Market Development
Zone (RMDZ); and
WHEREAS, the City also participated in the recruitment of an experienced municipal
cornposting business, Organic Recycling West (ORW) to the RMDZ and was involved in the
design of the facility to specifically accommodate Chula Vista's green waste program; and
WHEREAS, RMDZ's are designed to attract new business and encourage existing
businesses to use the "post-consumer" materials generated by recycling collection programs
as feed stock in the manufacture of new products; and
WHEREAS, from the beginning of the residential green waste program, Chula Vista has
sent virtually all its green waste to ORW through a sub-contract with Laidlaw Waste System,
Inc. ("Laidlaw"); and
WHEREAS, Laidlaw and the Resource Conservation Commission has endorsed the
City's entering into a direct contract with ORW for the collection, processing and marketing
of green waste as a means of diversion; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that ORW is uniquely qualified to perform
the City's green waste services as the only fully permitted cornposting facility in the County,
thereby making it impractical to follow the City's normal consultant selection process.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Chula Vista, based
on the findings set forth above, does hereby waive the bid requirements in accordance with
Section 2.56.070 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code and approve the Agreement with Organic
Recycling West, Inc. for green waste, processing and marketing services, in the form
presented, the final version of which shall be kept on file in the office of the City Clerk as
Document No. CO97-051.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mayor of the City of Chula Vista is hereby
authorized and directed to execute said Agreement on behalf of the City of Chula Vista.
