Addendum 2 – Attachment B. Revised RFP
The City of Renton has revised language in four sections of the main Request for Proposals
document to
• clarify that the contractor is to pay state and City of Renton Business and Occupation (B&O)
taxes on the revenue the contractor generates from contract services, and
• correct section numbering.
Section 2 Background and Current Services – The sixth paragraph of this section is revised as
follows:
The contracted hauler provides all customer service functions for solid waste customers and
serves as the billing agent on behalf of the City, invoicing all customers, receiving payments, and
depositing all retail rate revenue in the City’s account. The City adopts retail solid waste rates by
city council ordinance, usually on a two-year cycle. The City pays the contracted hauler monthly
wholesale contractor rates for services provided. The City also pays the relevant County garbage
disposal costs and hazardous waste bills and pays relevant utility fees and B&O taxes.
Section 3.2 Requested Base Services – The seventh paragraph of this section is revised as
follows:
Under the new contract, the City will return to an in-house billing system where the City bills
customers for all permanent and temporary services, collects all customer payments, and
responds to customer billing questions and concerns. The City will pay disposal costs and related
taxes and fees for all garbage collection services. The contractor will pay state and city B&O taxes
on the revenue they generate from contract services, pay for all processing costs for recyclables
and compostables collected, and pay the processing or disposal costs for collected on-call bulky
waste that is not part of single-family customers’ “Clean Sweep” collections.
Section 5.C.7 Missed Pickup Response – The title of this section is revised as follows:
C.67 Missed Pickup Response
Describe any procedures for handling missed collections and how this approach will minimize
repeat misses, including minimizing misses at off-week single-family garbage and other outlier
service stops. Outline the approach to address customers who repeatedly report justified misses
and a strategy to manage customers who repeatedly report unwarranted misses.
Section 5. I.1 Base Prices – The third paragraph of this section is revised as follows:
Proposed service prices shall include all capital and labor; all collection and operating costs;
recyclables and compostables processing costs and commodity revenues; administration and
management costs; and profit and incidental taxes (e.g., sales tax on capital equipment and
containers, tire and fuel taxes, B&O/excise taxes). The City shall pay all disposal costs from the
garbage collection services, county hazardous waste fees, state solid waste collection taxes, state
B&O taxes on gross revenue from all contract services, and city utility taxes. These costs paid by
the City shall be excluded from the Proposal rates. For on-call bulky waste collections excluding
single-family “Clean Sweep” collections, the contractor shall pay all the disposal or processing
costs as needed.
