1.0 Preface

The County of Siskiyou General Services Department is seeking the services of a qualified firm to

evaluate the current Solid Waste Disposal Fee structure and develop a revised methodology and

fee schedule for County transfer station operations that more accurately reflects the cost of

providing solid waste services.

Fee studies shall describe, document, and illustrate the estimated cost of services, the revenue

requirements, and relevant calculations and evidence used to determine the specific fee

recommendations. Cost and reserve requirements shall be projected over a period of not-less-

than three years with the intent that fee recommendations are based upon a multiyear projection.

2.0 Background

Pursuant to Siskiyou County Ordinance Sec. 5-6.102. – Fee Established and Sec. 5-1.30. –

Disposal of Tires, the County adopts and maintains a fee schedule for solid waste facilities

operating within Siskiyou County, including County transfer station operations. These established

Solid Waste Disposal Fees are intended to support the ongoing operation, maintenance, and

management of the County’s solid waste system.

3.0 Scope of Work

The primary goal of the Solid Waste Disposal Fee setting process and methodology is to

determine whether a fee is fair to residents and businesses and provides adequate revenue to

the County to provide services to those agencies. The consultant shall prepare a

comprehensive fee analysis and report.

The Contractor will be responsible for collecting data required to complete the Solid Waste

Disposal Fee analysis. At a minimum, this may include:

• Investigate and Data Collection.

• Work with the Franchise Haulers to determine and evaluate the current revenue streams.

• Survey other regional agencies as examples of fee methodology.

• Review existing Solid Waste Disposal Fee Methodology.

• Evaluate Solid Waste Disposal Fee Alternatives.

• Develop a cost-of-service fee analysis.

• Provide recommendations for collection of Solid Waste Disposal Fees.

• Present Recommendations to the Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors.

The final report shall address the following:

• The Solid Waste Disposal Fee schedule must be justifiable.

• The Solid Waste Disposal Fee schedule should ensure adequate revenue to fully meet the

cost-of-service requirements of the Siskiyou County Department of General Services.

• The Solid Waste Disposal Fee schedule methodology should provide for ongoing review and

fee stability to the customer.

Page 3 of 7

• The Solid Waste Disposal Fee schedule should be easy to understand and administer.

• Costs should be allocated to each specific item to ensure a nexus with

costs-of-service.

The Solid Waste Disposal Fee Review Methodology should clearly identify at a minimum the

following costs/revenue category:

• Costs-of-service for residential/commercial.

• Revenue for the current fee year and a three-year projection.

• Current annual cost of operations.

• Forecast cost of operations.

The Contractor should become familiar with the project to the extent that, if necessary, they

can assist in performing associated tasks with adopting a new fee including, but not limited to:

• Preparing a Solid Waste Disposal Fee schedule narrative and fee recommendations

reflective of the Study Objectives above.

• Meeting to confer with stakeholders as needed.

• Supplying a time schedule for the length of the study to include all deliverables.

• Presenting final report and recommendations at a public hearing to the Siskiyou County

Board of Supervisors.

necessary to achieve the goals of this RFP.
