services to the City of Cape Canaveral. Spare/backup equipment ratio of 1 spare to 7 front
line vehicles is adequate. The equipment is not listed specifically for servicing the commercial
front load accounts.
• Although the firm states they will purchase and provide the required types of vehicles, the
equipment list outlining the number of collection vehicles and support vehicles by type is
not stated.
• The proposer needs to verify the equipment list by type and quantity for each. They did list
the number of drivers and helpers they would anticipate to provide the services to the City.
• The recycling marketing plan is not specific.
• The plan for handling customer service complaints as stated has numerous customer service
representatives (CSR) which logs complaint calls into a log type system and requires call
in's from customers who can choose to leave a message. There is no mention of an internet
access to a web base tracking system for entering complaints or requests which would be
accessible by residents and commercial businesses.
• Republic submitted a Facility Emergency Response Plan whicli is generic but with events
detailed as to their part within certain actions.
• The key personnel within management and operations are highly qualified within the waste
collection field with numerous years of service.
• The transitioo plan is detailed and specific as to dates by category.

or directed to the City of Cape Canaveral.
• References checked with other municipalities.
• References: The quality and level of service provided is satisfactory for the City of Oviedo,
Joe Grusaukas, Polk County Public Works, Hillsborough Solid Waste Department, Palm

Waste Management Inc. of Florida:
• Complied with all of the specifications of the RFP requirements.
• This firm submitted the next to lowest pricing for residential collection for all options.
• This firm's operational plan, list of equipment, manpower, transitional plan and recycling
marketing plan is outlined in detail with some statements regarding the inspection of
commercial containers being inspected every collection day. I question this statement.

reference to the make, model or age of the backup vehicles. The amount of equipment
offered within the submittal will be adequate.
• The staffing as listed by this company is somewhat confusing since they state the residential
waste will be collected by the use of an automated side loader which has a one man crew,
the driver only. The company states they will have three (3) residential rear load drivers
plus a spare driver and will only have two (2) automated side loader collection vehicles_

The pricing seems to have a substantial variance among the proposer's with regards to the
residential and commercial pricing. In post proposal interviews with the two proposer's who bid very
high on all components. We wanted to have a clear and certain understanding why such a large
disparity in the pricing. Both Republic and Veolia stated their EBINTDA requirements for a new
start up company was high without a base in place to absorb the cost of capital. This requirement
makes it difficult to bring the pricing more in line to a competitive range. Waste Management and
Waste Pro both have existing operations within the area, therefore, their pricing is a competitive and
market rate range.
Based on our review and analysis of the submittals, the following will outline for the City
Manager, Mayor and City Council a synopsis of the matenal and pricing submitted.
In all four (4) RFP scenarios Waste Pro submitted the overall lowest and most responsive
proposal.
July 2, 2009
Page 5
Waste Management's submission is ranked as next highest pricing proposal and the response was
less detailed in many aspects of the RFP requirements.
Waste Pro's total cost submitted ranges from 16.79% to 19.52% lower than the next lowest
submission which is Waste Management.
Waste Pro's submitted annual dollar amount is lower tl-an Waste Management which ranges
from S 179,100.04 to 5208,869.64.
Under Alternate 03, Waste Pro is S 180,801,16 annually lower than Waste Management and
$58,784.28 or 6.7% lower than the City's current cost.
Under Alternate 03, Waste Management's pricing, which is their lowest pricing alternative, is
S 122,016.88 or 14% higher than the City's current cost.
Based on all of the factors reviewed within the submissions by the four proposer's overall
responses, quality of service offered, and lowest total contract price, our recommendation is to seek
approval from the Mayor and City Council to negotiate a final contract with Waste Pro of Florida,
Inc.
If there are any questions please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
William S. Redman, Jr.
