This option would see <br />the City forgo the 6-month negotiation and move to an RFP process early in 2026. <br /> <br /> <br />EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY <br />As a full-service municipality, the City provides a wide range of services and programs to meet <br />the needs of all members of the community. The waste and recycling program takes into <br />account both equity and sustainability considerations to ensure fair access to services and <br />promote environmentally responsible waste management practices. Consulting assistance for <br />waste disposal is vital to ensuring that the services the City provides are available in a healthy <br />and safe manner to all members of the Pleasanton community. <br /> <br />OUTREACH <br />On September 23, 2025, a publicly noticed City Council Waste and Recycling Subcommittee <br />meeting was held. <br /> <br />STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT <br />This action advances the ONE Pleasanton strategic plan goal of Investing in Our Environment <br />to continue to implement priority items from the Climate Action Plan 2.0 (CAP) to lead by <br />example in environmental sustainability. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />There is no immediate fiscal impact associated with receiving this update or directing staff to <br />initiate the Request for Proposals (RFP) process. However, future fiscal impacts are <br />anticipated depending on which course of action the City Council directs. Funding will be <br />needed for consultant services associated with either a competitive RFP process or a sole <br />source RFP negotiation with PGS. <br /> <br />Any consultant costs associated with preparing and administering the RFP or a sole source <br />RFP negotiation with PGS will be funded through the Solid Waste Reserve (Fund 171) within <br />the existing FY 2025-26 budget for professional services. <br /> <br />Future franchise terms will determine rate structures and any required capital investments, <br />which will be addressed during contract award. <br /> <br />Prepared by: Submitted by: Approved by: <br /> <br />ZeeLaura Page, Waste & <br />Recycling Manager <br />Siew-Chin Yeong, Director of Public <br />Works <br /> <br />Gerry Beaudin, City <br />Manager <br /> <br />Attachments: <br />1.
