Proclamation
WHEREAS, The year 2025 marks the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, a conflict that engulfed nations across the
globe from 1931 to 1945 and remains the deadliest war in human history; and
WHEREAS, The war claimed between 70 and 85 million lives worldwide and left more than 100 million people wounded,
displaced, or missing, nearly one in twelve people on Earth at that time; and
WHEREAS, Civilian losses were staggering across every continent: more than 20 million in the former Soviet Union, over 20
million in China, and millions more in Poland, Germany, Japan, and throughout Southeast Asia, the Pacific, and
Africa; and
WHEREAS, The Holocaust stands as one of the darkest moral tragedies in human history, in which six million Jews, together
with millions of Roma, Slavs, people with disabilities, and political prisoners, were systematically persecuted and
murdered by the Nazi regime, revealing the catastrophic consequence of hatred and dehumanization; and
WHEREAS, Across Europe, millions of civilians in occupied nations, including Poland, France, the Netherlands, the Soviet
Union, and others, endured bombings, massacres, starvation, and displacement, suffering devastating loss of life
and destruction of entire communities; and
WHEREAS, Among the atrocities of the war was the Nanjing Massacre in China, which lasted approximately six weeks, from
December 13, 1937, to late January 1938, during which an estimated 200,000 to 300,000 civilians and prisoners of war
were killed and tens of thousands of women were subjected to unspeakable violence, leaving the city in ruins and
marking one of the darkest chapters in human history; and
WHEREAS, During the war, an estimated 200,000 to 400,000 women and girls from across Asia, including Chinese, Koreans,
Filipinos, Indonesians, Burmese, Vietnamese, Taiwanese, and others in occupied territories, were enslaved in
military brothels as “comfort women,” subjected to years of unspeakable abuse, loss of dignity, and death; and
WHEREAS, Across Asia, millions of civilians, including Allied prisoners of war, endured forced labor, displacement, famine,
and violence under wartime occupation, where many perished under starvation and brutal conditions; and
WHEREAS, During the war, countless prisoners of war and civilians in both Asia and Europe were subjected to inhumane
medical and scientific experiments, including biological and chemical weapon testing, sterilization, and torture,
inflicting unbearable suffering and violating the most basic principles of humanity; and
WHEREAS, In August 1945, the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki claimed approximately 140,000 and 70,000 lives
respectively by year’s end, with many more suffering in the years that followed from radiation exposure, injury, and
loss; and
WHEREAS, The horrors of World War II, the Holocaust, the Nanjing Massacre, the mass bombings of cities, the atrocities
committed against civilians, and the use of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons, stand as solemn reminders of
our shared responsibility to safeguard peace and protect every human life; and
WHEREAS, We must remember that these acts were committed by militarist and fascist regimes, and not by nations or their
peoples as a whole, for the vast majority of people in every country were, and remain, peace-loving individuals who
wish only to live with dignity, safety, and harmony; and
WHEREAS, Eighty years after the end of the war, humanity’s greatest strength lies in its capacity for healing, compassion, and
cooperation, uniting people of all ancestral backgrounds to build a world founded on understanding, respect, and
love; and
WHEREAS, The City of Cupertino joins the global community in solemn remembrance of the victims of World War II, civilians
and soldiers alike, and in honoring the survivors who endured unimaginable hardship; and
WHEREAS, Remembrance is not only an act of mourning but also a moral responsibility, reminding us that peace can never be
taken for granted and that compassion must be practiced every day; and
WHEREAS, Cupertino’s diverse community includes descendants of those who lived through the war on many sides, now
united in friendship and shared commitment to building a world guided by empathy and mutual respect.
THEREFORE, I, Liang Chao, and the Cupertino City Council do hereby commemorate
The 80thAnniversary of the end of World War II
in the City of Cupertino and calls upon all residents to reflect upon the lessons of World War II, to cherish peace, to stand against hatred and tyranny, to uphold
human dignity in all nations, and to remember the tragedies of the past so that humanity never repeats them.
IN WITNESS THEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the City of Cupertino to be affixed this Tuesday, November 18, 2025.

Discussion
Unlike the Treasurer’s Monthly Investment Reports that require regular reporting within
a specific number of days, pursuant to California Government Code Section 41004 and
53607, the frequency of reporting the City’s Payment Register follows Resolution No. 5939
which provides that the report will be “presented to the City Council not less often than
once a month for ratification.” As such, monthly batches of Payment Registers are
presented to the City Council at the second meeting following the close of the reporting
period to ensure sufficient time to present the previous month's batches within one report.

Subject
Adopt a maximum rate schedule for Rate Period Six (RP 6) for Recology to provide recycling,
organics, and solid waste collection, recycling and organics processing services, and transport
for disposal as calculated using the allowed and approved methodology in the Franchise
Agreement (Attachment A).
Recommended Action
Adopt Resolution No. 25-XXX (Attachment B) to adopt a maximum rate schedule with an
increase of 4.39% ($2.03 per month for average resident) for RP 6 for Recology to provide
recycling, organics, and solid waste collection, recycling and organics processing services, and
transport for disposal pursuant to the Franchise Agreement (Attachment A (FA Exhibit E1)).
Executive Summary
The City of Cupertino has a Franchise Agreement (FA) with Recology for the collection of all
streams of waste and for the post-collection management of recyclables and organics. The FA as
executed includes detailed methodologies for calculating rate adjustments each year based on
multiple economic indices. For the upcoming RP 6 covering February 1, 2026 – January 30, 2027,
Recology conducted and submitted their calculations in accordance with the FA. Those
calculations were reviewed for accuracy, and the result was an inflation-based increase of
4.39%. For the average single-family home with a 32-gallon garbage cart, the rate will change
from $44.30 to $46.33 per month, an increase of $2.03 per month. Detailed explanation is
provided in the Rate Adjustment section below.
The rates shown in Exhibit A to the resolution include the increased landfill disposal and
construction and demolition processing per ton costs as approved by City Council on June 17,
2025. This rate adjustment does not include processing of garbage, which was likewise
approved by City Council in June. The cost adjustment for processing of garbage will go into
effect in a later rate period (anticipated to be RP 7 in February 2027).
This report provides information on the Recology FA, the regulation of maximum rates, review
of the RP 6 application, rate adjustment and smoothing, and rate comparison with neighboring
cities. Additionally, this report describes the need for new master service agreements to provide
expert review and data quality assurance related to solid waste services.

Background
On December 15, 2020, the Cupertino City Council approved a 10-year Franchise Agreement
(Attachment A)1 with Recology South Bay d/b/a Recology Cupertino (“Recology”) to provide
recycling, organics, and solid waste collection, recycling and organics processing services, and
transport for disposal. The FA as adopted included rates for the first three years along with
detailed methodologies to calculate rates for each year through the remainder of the agreement
term.
The methodology to determine the maximum rates for the upcoming RP 6, which begins
February 1, 2026, is a multi-index-based adjustment detailed in Exhibit E.1 to the FA. City staff
and Recology staff calculated the index-based adjustment as specified, and the resulting rates
are hereby presented for approval by the City Council (Exhibit A to the Resolution). Under
Exhibit E to the FA, “City Council shall make a good faith effort to approve Rates by January 1
of each year, and such Rates shall be effective on each subsequent February 1.”
Reasons for Recommendation and Available Options
Effective waste disposal programs that are convenient, well utilized and properly funded are
essential to diverting recyclable and compostable materials from the landfill in accordance with
Assembly Bill (AB) 939 and the City of Cupertino’s Zero Waste Policy, and the programs must
comply with Senate Bill (SB) 1383. The City and Recology partner on many of the diversion and
waste reduction activities described in Cupertino’s Climate Action Plan 2.0 section “Getting to
Zero Waste.”
Regulation of Maximum Rates
The City does not set the rates for Recology’s provision of solid waste services but rather
approves the maximum rates Recology may charge its customers.
Review of the Rate Period Six Application
On August 1, in accordance with Section 8.2.C of the FA, Recology submitted its RP 6
application. To assess the appropriateness of Recology’s proposed rates, the City conducted a
detailed review of the application and engaged a consultant, HF&H, to provide 3rd party review
of the information. The review conducted by HF&H included determining completeness,
compliance with the adjustment methodology, mathematical accuracy, and logical consistency
of the assumptions supporting the projected revenues and expenses. The review found the
calculations were done correctly per the methodology established in the FA.
Rate Adjustment and Rate Smoothing
Per Recology’s RP 6 application and subsequent review, the overall increase to Recology’s Total
Cost of Operations as described in Exhibit E methodology is 2.36%, which is below the allowed
5% cap on increases to Total Cost of Operations in multi-index adjustment years. The maximum
rates approved by Council for the current Rate Period 5 (RP 5) included the use of restricted-use

enterprise funds to smooth and mitigate the increase needed at that time. As a result of that use,
the difference between RP 5 smoothed rates and RP 6 unsmoothed rates will manifest to
residential and commercial customers as a 4.39% increase in rates. Because that increase is
below the allowed cap and keeps rates below average for the region (see Table 2), staff does not
recommend the use of restricted-use enterprise funds to smooth and mitigate the increase for
RP 6, but will evaluate that use in the future, such as when higher costs due to processing of
garbage come into effect.

RFQ for Solid Waste Consulting Services
The process of managing the multiple large agreements that provide for the various services
related to collection, transport, and handling of garbage, recyclables, and organics requires
periodic intensive data collection and review, guidance on requests, detailed review of rate
adjustments, service and process evaluations, performance reviews, and similar activities that
require expertise in solid waste management. The City has a current master service agreement
with HF&H Consulting, LLC. for such services currently scheduled to end August 31, 2026. The
City intends to issue an RFQ to establish one or more new master service agreements to assist
with these services during the remaining years of the FA. Negotiated master agreements will be
brought to City Council later this fiscal year for approval per the purchasing policy.
Sustainability Impact
This item aligns with Cupertino’s Climate Action Plan 2.0 section “Getting to Zero Waste.”
Effective waste disposal programs align with AB 939, the California Integrated Waste
Management Act that requires at least 50% diversion from landfill after 1/1/2020, the City of
Cupertino’s Zero Waste Policy adopted December 19, 2017, and complies with SB 1383 Short-
Lived Climate Pollutants: Organic Waste Methane Emissions Reductions.

Fiscal Impact
Recology collects funds from the ratepayers and uses those for their cost of operations, payment
of landfill and recycling and compost processing fees, payment of franchise fees to the City, and
payment of the Solid Waste Fund Operations Fee, which covers the City’s staffing and
management of the waste hauling agreement and compliance with State and local waste
reduction and recycling regulations. Per the Franchise Agreement (section 7.1) the Franchise Fee
will remain the same for the term of the agreement at 12% of Recology’s gross receipts less the
Solid Waste Fund Operations Fee. The Solid Waste Fund Operations Fee was increased by 2.2%
per CPI.
Table 4 shows the fiscal impact to the City since the agreement began. Because the current Rate
Period (RP 5) is not yet complete and RP 6 is projected, some numbers are not known yet and
are shown in italics. Any budget adjustments needed will be brought to Council.

RECITALS 13
This Agreement is entered into with reference to the following facts and circumstances: 14
WHEREAS, the Legislature of the State of California, by enactment of the California Integrated Waste 15
Management Act of 1989 (AB 939) (California Public Resources Code Section 40000 et seq.), has declared 16
that it is in the public interest to authorize and require local agencies to make adequate provisions for 17
Solid Waste Collection within their jurisdiction; and, 18
WHEREAS, the State of California has found and declared that the amount of refuse generated in 19
California, coupled with diminishing Disposal capacity, potential adverse environmental impacts from 20
landfilling, and the need to conserve natural resources, have created an urgent need for State and local 21
agencies to enact and implement an aggressive integrated waste management program. The State has, 22
through enactment of AB 939 and subsequent related legislation including, but not limited to: the Jobs 23
and Recycling Act of 2011 (AB 341), the Event and Venue Recycling Act of 2004 (AB 2176), SB 1016 24
(Chapter 343, Statutes of 2008 [Wiggins, SB 1016]), the Mandatory Commercial Organics Recycling Act of 25
2014 (AB 1826), and the Short-Lived Climate Pollutants Bill of 2016 (SB 1383), directed the responsible 26
State agency, and all local agencies, to promote Diversion and to maximize the use of feasible waste 27
reduction, re-use, Recycling, and Composting options in order to reduce the amount of refuse that must 28
be Disposed; and, 29
WHEREAS, SB 1383 establishes regulatory requirements for jurisdictions, Generators, haulers, Solid Waste 30
facilities, and other entities to support achievement of State-wide Organic Waste Disposal reduction 31
targets; and, 32
WHEREAS, SB 1383 requires the City to implement Collection programs, meet Processing Facility 33
requirements, conduct contamination monitoring, provide education, maintain records, submit reports, 34
monitor compliance, conduct enforcement, and fulfill other requirements; and, the City has chosen to 35
delegate some of its responsibilities to Contractor, acting as the City’s designee, through this Agreement; 36

WHEREAS, pursuant to California Public Resources Code Section 40059(a)(2), the City Council has 38
determined that the public health, safety, and well-being require that an exclusive right be awarded to a 39
qualified contractor to provide for certain Collection, Processing, and Transport of Recyclable Materials, 40
Organic Materials, and C&D, and Disposal of Solid Waste, and other services related to meeting the City’s 41
health, safety, well-being, economic and environmental goals; and, 42

WHEREAS, the City desires, having determined that Contractor, by demonstrated experience, reputation 46
and capacity is qualified to provide for both the Collection of Recyclable Materials, Organic Materials, 47
Solid Waste, and C&D within the corporate limits of the City and the Transportation of such material to 48
appropriate places of Processing, Recycling, Composting, and/or Disposal, and that Contractor be engaged 49
to perform such services on the basis set forth in this Agreement; and, 50
WHEREAS, the City and Contractor have attempted to address conditions affecting their performance of 51
services under this Agreement, but recognize that reasonably unanticipated conditions may occur during 52
the Term of this Agreement that will require the Parties to meet and confer to reasonably respond to such 53
changed conditions; and 54
WHEREAS, under Municipal Code Section 6.24.120, the City Council may enter into an exclusive contract 55
with any Person or entity the Council believes is qualified to perform Collection, Processing, Transport, 56
and Disposal service, and such contract shall require the Contractor to render service to all Residential 57
and Commercial Premises within the City in accordance with the Municipal Code, and otherwise under 58
such terms as the City Council deems necessary to protect the best interests of the City; 59
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants, and conditions contained in this 60
Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the Parties agree as follows: 61
ARTICLE 1. 62
GRANT AND ACCEPTANCE OF FRANCHISE 63
1.1 GRANT AND ACCEPTANCE OF FRANCHISE 64
By the signing of this Agreement the City grants to Contractor and Contractor accepts the exclusive right 65
and franchise, within the corporate limits of the City, to Collect and Transport all Recyclable Materials, 66
Organic Materials, Yard Trimmings, Construction and Demolition Debris, and Solid Waste generated or 67
accumulated within the corporate limits of the City, subject to the limitations described herein and except 68
where otherwise precluded by Federal, State, and local laws and regulations. 69
1.2 LIMITATIONS TO THE FRANCHISE 70
The award of this Agreement shall not preclude the activities specified in this Section 1.2 by Persons other 71
than Contractor, provided that nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall be construed to excuse 72

acknowledges and agrees that the City may permit other Persons besides Contractor to Collect any and 74
all types of materials excluded from the scope of this Agreement without seeking or obtaining approval 75

of Contractor. If Contractor can produce evidence that other Persons are servicing Collection Containers 76
or are Collecting and Transporting Recyclable Materials, Organic Materials, C&D, and/or Solid Waste in a 77
manner that is not consistent with this Agreement or the Municipal Code, it shall report it to the City 78
Contract Manager along with Contractor’s evidence. Contractor shall have primary responsibility to notify 79
the Generator and such Person of Contractor’s rights under this Agreement. 80
A. Recyclable and Organic Materials. Collection and Transport of Recyclable Materials and Organic 81
Materials that have been Source Separated from Solid Waste by the Generator and that: (1) 82
Generator sells or donates to any other Person, provided that there is no net payment made by 83
the Generator to such other Person; or, (2) have a value equal to or more than the cost of 84
Collection. 85
B. Self-Hauled Materials. Transport and Disposal by a Property Owner of Recyclable Materials, 86
Organic Materials, and Solid Waste generated in or on the Premises by the Property Owner or a 87
Person leasing or renting the Premises from the Property Owner, using a vehicle such Person owns 88
or controls. 89
C. Construction and Demolition Debris (C&D). Collection and Transport of mixed material 90
Construction and Demolition Debris (C&D) by a licensed construction or demolition contractor as 91
part of a total service offered by that contractor when removal is performed by an employee of 92
the contractor using equipment owned by the contractor, rather than as a hauling service, and 93
consistent with the Municipal Code and other Applicable Law. C&D materials Source Separated 94
for the purpose of Recycling are considered Recyclable Materials. In cases where Contractor does 95
not have the equipment needed for timely removal of C&D materials or due to other extenuating 96
circumstance, a third party hauling service may be used with advance approval of both Contractor 97
and the City Contract Manager. 98
D. Donated or Sold Materials. Collection and Transport of any items that are Source Separated at 99
any Premises by the Generator and sold or donated to other Persons, including youth, civic, or 100
charitable organizations, as provided in Section 1.2.A. 101

Person from a Food Recovery Organization, for the purposes of Food Recovery, regardless of 105
whether the Generator donates, sells, or pays a fee to the other Person(s) to Collect or receive 106
the Edible Food. 107
F. Food Scraps. Collection and Transport of Food Scraps that are Source Separated by the Generator 108
and used by the Generator or distributed to other Person(s) for lawful use as animal feed, in 109
accordance with 14 CCR Section 18983.1(b)(7). Such Food Scraps may be Self-Hauled by the 110
Generator or Transported by another Person. If Contractor produces evidence to City that use of 111
this exception by Commercial haulers is adversely affecting the value of this franchise, Diversion 112
levels, or compliance with City ordinances, then the Parties shall meet and confer and City will 113
consider in good faith whether to institute a permit system regulating such haulers or take other 114
appropriate action to address the problem. 115
G. Materials That Contractor Does Not Divert. Source Separated materials that Contractor is not 116
required to Collect, Process, and Divert under this Agreement as of the Effective Date that 117
119
CC 11-18-2025
119 of 935
December 3, 2020 -4- City of Cupertino/Recology Franchise Agreement
subsequently, in the City’s reasonable judgment, become economically feasible to Divert. In such 118
event, Contractor shall have the exclusive right to Collect, Process, and Divert such materials if 119
Contractor agrees to do so without any change in Rates. If Contractor is unwilling to Collect, 120
Process, and Divert such materials without any change in Rates, the City may provide for 121
Collection, Processing, and Diversion of such materials in any manner it deems appropriate. Such 122
materials may include, but are not limited to, Organic Materials that Contractor would otherwise 123
Dispose. Contractor may not enforce its exclusive franchise rights in a manner that would prevent 124
the Diversion of new material that Contractor is unable or unwilling to Collect, Process, and Divert 125
without any change in Rates. 126
H. Beverage Containers. Collection and Transport of containers delivered for Recycling under the 127

Transport of Recyclable Materials, Organic Materials, Solid Waste, and Bulky Items removed from 131
a Premises by a contractor (e.g., gardener, landscaper, tree-trimming service, Residential clean-132
out service) as an incidental part of the service being performed, rather than as a separately 133
contracted or subcontracted hauling service, where the removal is performed by such 134
contractor’s employees using only equipment owned by the contractor and in compliance with 135
Applicable Law or if such contractor is providing a service that is not included in the scope of this 136
Agreement. 137
J. On-site or Community Composting. Use of Organic Materials Composted or otherwise legally 138
managed at the Premises where it is generated (e.g., backyard Composting or on-site anaerobic 139
digestion) or Collection and Transport of such Organic Materials by the Generator for use at a 140
Community Composting site. 141
K. Animal, Grease Waste, and Used Cooking Oil. Collection and Transport of (i) animal waste and 142
remains from slaughterhouse or butcher shops, (ii) grease, or (iii) used cooking oil in quantities 143

Persons or has arranged services with Contractor through a separate agreement. 154
This Agreement and scope of this franchise shall be interpreted to be consistent with applicable Federal, 155
State, and local laws and regulations, now and during the Term of the Agreement. If applicable Federal, 156
State, and local laws and regulations limit the ability of the City to lawfully contract for the scope of 157
120

services in the manner and consistent with all provisions as specifically set forth herein, Contractor agrees 158
that the scope of the Agreement will be revised and limited as required by such Applicable Law and that 159
the City shall not be responsible for any lost profits or losses claimed by Contractor to arise out of such 160
revisions or limitations. 161
1.3 OBLIGATIONS OF PARTIES 162
In addition to the specific performance required under the Agreement, the City and Contractor shall: 163
A. Use their reasonable Commercial efforts to enforce the exclusive nature of the franchise. 164

December 3, 2020 -7- City of Cupertino/Recology Franchise Agreement
H. Performing or providing all services necessary to fulfill Contractor’s obligations in full accordance 227
with this Agreement at all times using best industry practice for comparable operations; and, 228
I. Complying with all applicable Federal, State, and local laws and regulations. 229
The enumeration and specification of particular aspects of service, labor, or equipment requirements shall 230
not relieve Contractor of the duty to perform all other tasks and activities necessary to fulfill its obligations 231
under this Agreement, regardless of whether such requirements are enumerated elsewhere in the 232
Agreement, unless excused in accordance with Section 10.7. 233
3.2 USE OF APPROVED FACILITIES 234
Contractor, without constraint and as a free-market business decision in accepting this Agreement, agrees 235
to use the Approved Facilities for the purposes of Processing and/or Disposing of all Recyclable Materials, 236
Organic Materials, Solid Waste, and other materials Collected in the City. Such decision by Contractor in 237
no way constitutes a restraint of trade notwithstanding any Change in Law regarding flow control 238
limitations or any definition thereof. The City may direct Contractor’s use of a Designated Facility, as 239
further described in this Section 3.2. The City exercise of such right shall not constitute a change in scope 240
under Section 3.5. 241
It is the City intent that Contractor arrange for Organic Materials and Recyclable Materials Processing, and 242
subcontract for such services at an Approved Recyclable Materials Processing Facility and an Approved 243
Organic Materials Processing Facility. Upon providing Contractor ninety (90) calendar days’ prior written 244
notice, the City may direct Contractor to use a Designated Recyclable Materials Processing Facility(ies), 245
subject to the Transfer provisions of Sections 4.1.B and 4.2.B, and with adjustment of Contractor 246
Compensation pursuant to a cost-based Rate adjustment as provided in Exhibit E2. City shall separately 247
contract with such Designated Recyclable Materials Processing Facility(ies) or, if mutually agreed by City 248
and Contractor, Contractor shall contract with such facility(ies). 249
The City’s current, separate contract for Disposal and C&D Processing terminates on November 20, 2023. 250
At any time during the Term, on or after August 20, 2023, the City may provide Contractor ninety (90) 251
calendar days’ prior written notice requiring Contractor to use a Designated Disposal Facility(ies) and/or 252
a Designated C&D Processing Facility(ies), subject to the Transfer provisions of Sections 4.3 or 4.5 as 253
applicable, and with adjustment of Contractor Compensation pursuant to a cost-based Rate adjustment 254
as provided in Exhibit E2. City shall separately contract with such Designated Disposal Facility(ies) and/or 255
Designated C&D Processing Facility(ies), or, if mutually agreed by City and Contractor, Contractor shall 256
contract with such facility(ies). 257
3.3 SUBCONTRACTING 258
Contractor shall not engage any Subcontractors for Collection or Transportation of Recyclable Materials, 259
Organic Materials, Solid Waste, or C&D Materials, or for Processing of Organic Materials without the prior 260
written consent of the City Contract Manager. As of the Effective Date, the City has approved Contractor’s 261
use of those Subcontractors identified in Contractor’s Proposal, included herein as Exhibit G4. Upon ten 262
(10) Business Days’ prior written notice by the City, Contractor shall provide the City, or permit the City to 263
inspect, a copy of the fully-executed version of any subcontract. 264
Affiliates may only provide services under this Agreement as Subcontractors. Notwithstanding the 265
foregoing, if Contractor plans to engage an Affiliate as a Subcontractor in the provision of services, other 266
123
CC 11-18-2025
123 of 935
December 3, 2020 -8- City of Cupertino/Recology Franchise Agreement
than those identified in Contractor’s Proposal for the limited purposes described in Contractor’s Proposal, 267
Contractor shall provide the City Contract Manager with thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice of 268
its plans and provide an explanation of any potential impacts related to the quality, timeliness, or cost of 269
providing services under this Agreement. Any Affiliate subcontracted by Contractor under this Agreement, 270
including but not limited to the Approved Organic Materials Processing Facility, shall be deemed to be 271
one and the same as Contractor for the purposes of Contractor’s obligations under this Agreement and 272
the City shall not accept any excuse from performance on the basis of Contractor’s inability to compel the 273
performance of such an Affiliate. 274
Contractor shall be responsible for ensuring that all Subcontractors (including Affiliates) comply with all 275
material terms of this Agreement that specifically apply to the services subcontracted to them. 276
Subcontractors shall be solely responsible to Contractor throughout the performance of the services 277
under this Agreement. Assignment by Contractor of work to Subcontractors shall not relieve Contractor 278
of any obligation to the City for the work performed. 279
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Contractor shall not be responsible for ensuring 280
the compliance of the Designated Disposal Facility or the Designated C&D Processing Facility with the 281
requirements of this Agreement, nor shall the Contractor be responsible for ensuring the compliance with 282
the requirements of this Agreement of any Designated Recyclable Materials Processing Facility that the 283
City may direct Contractor to use pursuant to Section 3.2. 284
3.4 RESPONSIBILITY FOR MATERIALS 285
Once Recyclable Materials, Organic Materials, Solid Waste, and/or C&D are placed in Contractor’s 286
Containers at the Collection location, the responsibility for their proper handling shall transfer directly 287
from the Generator to Contractor, with the exception of Excluded Waste if Contractor can identify the 288
Generator of such Excluded Waste pursuant to Section 5.8.B. Once Recyclable Materials, Organic 289
Materials, Solid Waste, and/or C&D are deposited by Contractor at the appropriate Approved Facility, 290
such materials shall become the responsibility of the Owner or operator of the Approved Facility with the 291
exception of Excluded Waste pursuant to Section 5.8.C. 292
Responsibility for Excluded Waste that has been inadvertently Collected by Contractor shall remain with 293
Contractor if Contractor cannot identify the Generator, and Contractor shall assume all responsibility for 294
its proper Disposal; however, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit any remedies Contractor 295
or its Affiliates may have against the Generator under applicable Federal, State, and local laws and 296
regulations. 297
3.5 CITY-DIRECTED CHANGES TO SCOPE 298
The City may request Contractor to implement modifications to existing services, to provide additional (or 299
reduced) services under this Agreement, or to otherwise modify Contractor’s obligations under this 300
Agreement. In such case, Contractor shall present, within thirty (30) calendar days after the City’s request, 301
unless an alternate schedule is mutually agreed-upon, a written proposal to provide such modified or 302
additional (or reduced) services or obligations, including the proposed manner of providing the modified 303
or additional (or reduced) services or obligations and the incremental cost (increase or decrease) of the 304
modified or additional (or reduced) services, and any proposed change in Contractor’s Compensation. The 305
City and Contractor shall meet and confer to negotiate Contractor’s Proposal and, if mutual agreement is 306
reached, shall amend this Agreement, as appropriate, to reflect the mutually agreed-upon terms and 307
124
CC 11-18-2025
124 of 935
December 3, 2020 -9- City of Cupertino/Recology Franchise Agreement
conditions. If the City and Contractor are unable to agree on terms and conditions within ninety (90) 308
calendar days after the City’s receipt of Contractor’s Proposal for such services, then the cost implications 309
of the modified, additional, or reduced services or obligations under Section 8.3 (Extraordinary Rate 310
Adjustments) will apply, or the City may permit other Persons to provide such services, provided that such 311
services do not conflict with the exclusivity granted to Contractor under Section 1.1. Nothing herein shall 312
prevent the City from soliciting cost and operating information from other Persons in order to inform the 313
City’s evaluation of Contractor’s Proposal. 314
At any time during the Term of this Agreement, the City may solicit proposals from other Persons for 315
services not contemplated under (and outside the scope of) this Agreement, including as provided in 316
Section 1.2.G. In the event that contracting with other Persons for such services will reduce Contractor’s 317
Compensation under this Agreement, as described in Article 8, Contractor shall be offered the opportunity 318
to match any other Person’s proposed pricing and be awarded the added scope of services. Nothing in 319
this Agreement shall prevent the City from contracting with other Persons in the event that Contractor is 320
unable or unwilling to provide such services at or below the cost proposed by the other Person. 321
City-directed changes in scope include, without limitation, any direction by City to use a different 322
Processing, Transfer, or Disposal Facility from the one then being used by Contractor, except those set 323
forth in Section 3.2, for which a cost-based Rate adjustment under Exhibit E2 is provided. 324
ARTICLE 4. 325
SCOPE OF SERVICES 326
Contractor shall perform services described in this Article 4. This Article 4 describes the general 327
requirements for the services to be provided. More specific requirements for how each service shall be 328
provided to each Customer Type are described in Exhibit B. Failure to specifically require an act necessary 329
to perform the service does not relieve Contractor of its obligation to perform such act. 330
4.1 RECYCLABLE MATERIALS 331
A. Collection. Contractor shall provide Recyclable Materials Collection services as described in 332
Exhibit B, for direct Transport to the Approved Recyclable Materials Processing Facility. Contractor 333
acknowledges that acceptable Recyclable Materials, as described in the definition of “Recyclable 334
Materials” in Exhibit A, may be modified by mutual agreement of the City and Contractor from 335
time to time during the Term of this Agreement. 336
B. Transfer. In the event the City directs Contractor to use a Designated Recyclable Materials 337
Processing Facility as provided in Section 3.2, the Parties will meet and confer, and the City will 338
determine if Transfer will be less expensive than direct Transport to the Designated Recyclable 339
Materials Processing Facility. The City will base its determination on a comparison of the 340
incremental added cost of direct Transport above the agreed distance threshold as described in 341
Exhibit G2, to the cost of Transfer including the Transfer tip fee and hourly Transport costs 342
provided in Exhibit G2, as escalated. If the City requires Contractor to provide for Transfer, 343
Contractor shall Transport Recyclable Materials from the Route to the Approved Transfer Facility, 344
at which time Contractor shall unload Recyclable Materials from Collection vehicles and load 345
Recyclable Materials into large-capacity vehicles and Transport such material to the Designated 346
Recyclable Materials Processing Facility. In the event the City approves use of the Approved 347
125
CC 11-18-2025

December 3, 2020 -10- City of Cupertino/Recology Franchise Agreement
Transfer Facility for Recyclable Materials, any Processing of Recyclable Materials shall be subject 348
to the applicable Processing requirements of Section 4.1.C. 349
Contractor shall keep or cause its Subcontractor to keep all existing permits and approvals 350
necessary for use and operation of the Approved Transfer Facility under the terms of this 351
Agreement. Upon request, Contractor shall provide copies of facility permits and/or notices of 352
violations (obtained from its Transfer Facility Subcontractor if necessary) to the City Contract 353
Manager. If Contractor is unable to use or operate the Approved Transfer Facility, then Contractor 354
shall be responsible for making other Transportation arrangements. In such event, Contractor 355
shall not be compensated for any additional costs, unless Contractor’s inability to use or operate 356
the Approved Transfer Facility was due to a Force Majeure Event, in which case Contractor shall 357
be entitled to recover any additional costs as an “other adjustment” in the next annual Rate 358
adjustment. If Contractor plans to change its Transfer method, Contractor shall obtain written 359
approval from the City prior to making the change. 360
C. Processing. 361
1. General. Contractor shall Transport and deliver all Recyclable Materials Collected in the City 362
to the Approved Recyclable Materials Processing Facility or the Designated Recyclable 363
Materials Processing Facility. All tipping fees and other costs associated with Transporting to 364
and Processing of such Recyclable Materials at the Approved Recyclable Materials Processing 365
Facility or the Designated Recyclable Materials Processing Facility and Disposing of the 366
Residue as required in Section 4.1.H below shall be paid by Contractor. 367
The Approved Recyclable Materials Processing Facility or the Designated Recyclable Materials 368
Processing Facility shall Process Recyclable Paper in a manner deemed not to constitute 369
landfill Disposal pursuant to 14 CCR Section 18983.1(a), which states that landfill Disposal 370
includes final disposition of Organic Waste (including Recyclable Paper) at a landfill or use of 371
Organic Waste (including Recyclable Paper) as Alternative Daily Cover (ADC) or Alternative 372
Intermediate Cover (AIC). 373
Contractor shall observe and comply with all regulations in effect at the Approved Recyclable 374
Materials Processing Facility or the Designated Recyclable Materials Processing Facility, and 375
cooperate with and take direction from the operator thereof with respect to delivery of 376
Recyclable Materials. In the event that the regulations, requirements, or policies of the 377
Approved Recyclable Materials Processing Facility or the Designated Recyclable Materials 378
Processing Facility are in conflict with the requirements of this Agreement, the requirements 379
of this Agreement shall supersede the regulations in effect at the facility with respect to 380
Contractor’s obligations to perform under this Agreement. 381
Contractor guarantees sufficient capacity at the Approved Recyclable Materials Processing 382
Facility or the Designated Recyclable Materials Processing Facility to Process all Recyclable 383
Materials Collected by Contractor under this Agreement throughout the Term of the 384
Agreement. 385
2. Contamination. Contractor shall actively work with the Approved Recyclable Materials 386
Processing Facility and/or the Designated Recyclable Materials Processing Facility, as 387
applicable, throughout the Term of this Agreement to ensure that contamination of the 388
Recyclable Materials Collected under this Agreement and delivered to the Processing Facility 389

applicable regulations or regulatory guidance issued pursuant to SB 1383. 391
3. Permits. Contractor shall keep or cause its Subcontractor to keep all existing permits and 392
approvals necessary for use and operation of the Approved Recyclable Materials Processing 393
Facility under the terms of this Agreement. Upon request, Contractor shall provide copies of 394
facility permits and/or notices of violations (obtained from its Processing Facility 395
Subcontractor, if necessary) to the City Contract Manager. 396
D. Incompatible Materials. 397
If and to the extent 14 CCR Section 17409.5.8 (Incompatible Materials Limit in Recovered Organic 398
Waste) applies to the Approved Recyclable Materials Processing Facility or the Approved Transfer 399
Facility, Contractor shall ensure that such facilities comply with such code section. Such 400
compliance may be achieved via the alternative pathway set forth in Section 17409.5.9. 401
(Alternatives to Measurement Protocols) or any other means permitted by law. Whether each 402
such facility complies with 14 CCR Section 17409.5.8 shall be determined by the facility’s EA (as 403
defined in 14 CCR Section 17402(a)(5)). For convenience, and without limiting the foregoing, the 404
text of 14 CCR Section 17409.5.8 as it exists on the date hereof is as follows: 405
“Section 17409.5.8. Incompatible Materials Limit in Recovered Organic Waste. 406
(a) A transfer/processing facility or operation shall only send offsite that organic waste recovered 407
after processing from the source separated organic waste stream and from the mixed 408
waste organic collection stream that meets the following requirements: 409
(1) On and after January 1, 2022 with no more than 20 percent of incompatible material 410
by weight; and 411
(2) On and after January 1, 2024 with no more than 10 percent of incompatible material 412

organic collection stream and from the source separated organic waste stream 427
by adding the sum of all the weights calculated pursuant to Subdivision (b)(4). 428
(6) Determine the ratio of incompatible materials by taking the total weight of 429
incompatible materials determined pursuant to Subdivision (b)(5) and dividing by 430
the sum of the outgoing weights of the materials recovered from the mixed waste 431
organic collection stream and from the source separated organic waste stream. 432
(7) Determine the percentage of incompatible materials by multiplying the ratio 433
determined pursuant to Subdivision (b)(6) by 100. 434
(c) The recovered organic waste stream shall not be subject to Section 17409.5.8(a) if the 435
recovered organic waste is sent to one or more of the following types of facilities that will 436
further process that waste: 437
(1) A transfer/processing facility or operation that complies with Section 17409.5.8(a). 438
(2) A compostable material handling facility or operation that, pursuant to Section 439
17867(a)(16), demonstrates that the percentage of organic waste in the materials 440
sent to disposal is: 441

(B) On and after January 1, 2024, less than 10 percent. 448
(4) An activity that meets the definition of a recycling center as described in Section 449
17402.5(d). 450
(d) The operator shall conduct a measurement in the presence of the EA when requested. 451
(e) If it is determined by the EA that the measurements do not accurately reflect the records, the 452
EA may require the operator to increase the frequency of measurements, revise the 453
measurement protocol, or both to improve accuracy. 454
(f) For the purposes of this section ‘disposal’ has the same meaning as ‘Activities that 6 constitute 455
landfill disposal’ as defined in Section 18982.” 456

A. Missed Collection Complaints. When handling Customer Complaints related to missed or 1112
incomplete Collections, Contractor shall not question or contest the Customer’s claim that the 1113
Collection was missed or incomplete, even in cases where the Route driver recorded the 1114
Container(s) in question as already “Collected” or “not out”, subject to the limitations of Section 1115

C. Non-Collection, Courtesy Noticing. Prior to the Commencement Date, Contractor shall submit to 1132
the City Contract Manager for review and approval: 1133
1. A template Non-Collection Notice, for use in instances of acceptable non-Collection of 1134
Discarded Materials, and instances in which Prohibited Container Contaminants are observed 1135
by Contractor. Template should be in printable format as well as digital format for the 1136
purposes of digitally communicating the information. 1137
2. A template Courtesy Notice, for use in instances of improper set-out of Discarded Materials, 1138
and/or instances in which Prohibited Container Contaminants are observed by Contractor, 1139
which Contractor, at its sole option, elects to Collect as a courtesy to the Customer. Template 1140
should be in printable format as well as digital format for the purposes of digitally 1141
communicating the information. 1142
The Non-Collection Notice shall, at a minimum: (i) inform the Customer of the reason(s) for non-1143
Collection; (ii) include the date and time the notice was left; (iii) include information on proper 1144
Disposal of Excluded Waste; and, (iv) describe the Rate to Customer for Contractor to return and 1145
Collect the Container after Customer removes the contamination, if applicable. In addition, the 1146
notices shall inform the Customer that Contractor may charge Customer the Rate for such 1147
contamination Processing fee(s). 1148
The Courtesy Notice shall, at a minimum: (i) inform the Customer of improper setout of Discarded 1149
Materials and/or the presence of Prohibited Container Contaminants; (ii) include the date and 1150
time of the incident; (iii) include information on the Customer’s requirement to properly set out 1151
Containers and/or separate materials into the appropriate Containers, and the acceptable 1152
materials and Prohibited Container Contaminants for Collection in each Container; (iv) inform the 1153
Customer of the courtesy pick-up of the improperly set out and/or contaminated materials on 1154
this occasion and/or issue a Non-Collection Notice in the future; and, (v) shall include 1155
photographic evidence (if available). In addition, the notice shall inform the Customer that 1156
Contractor may charge Customer the Rate for such contamination Processing fee(s). 1157
The notice may be left attached to or adhered to the Generator’s Container, or at the Premises’ 1158
door or gate, at the time the violation is detected by Contractor, or may be delivered by e-mail or 1159
text message within one (1) Working Day after the incident, so long as a record of such 1160
communication is retained by Contractor for City review upon request. For Non-Collection 1161
Notices to Commercial or Multi-Family Customers, if Contractor does not have the Customer’s 1162
email address, then Contractor may call the Customer and either speak to the Customer or leave 1163
a voice message to describe the reason for non-Collection, and such call will count as a Non-1164
Collection Notice so long as Contractor documents the call in its reports to the City. 1165
D. Non-Collection of Discarded Materials. In the event that Contractor encounters circumstances at 1166
a Customer Premises, including circumstances described in Section 5.3.A, which prevent 1167
Contractor from Collecting Discarded Materials that have been placed for Collection, Contractor 1168
shall provide a Non-Collection Notice clearly explaining Contractor’s reason for refusal to Collect 1169
the Discarded Materials. Such reasons may also include: (i) overweight Containers (Cart weight in 1170

145
CC 11-18-2025
145 of 935
December 3, 2020 -30- City of Cupertino/Recology Franchise Agreement
to access Containers. Contractor shall not be required to Collect Discarded Materials that are 1173
reasonably believed to contain Excluded Waste, pursuant to the requirements of Section 5.8. If 1174
Contractor declines to Collect Discarded Materials (including Cardboard overages) that have been 1175
set out, but does not leave a Non-Collection Notice, it shall be considered a Missed Collection per 1176
this Section 4.10.3. 1177
E. Courtesy Collection for Improper Set-Out. In the event that Contractor encounters circumstances 1178
at a Customer Premises that allow for safe Collection of Discarded Materials, but do not otherwise 1179
reflect proper set-out procedures (including, but not limited to over-full Containers, spills not 1180
caused by Contractor, Carts placed too close together, Carts placed in front of one another, Carts 1181
placed too close to parked cars, but excluding overweight Containers, Contractor shall Collect the 1182
material and may leave a Courtesy Notice at the Customer Premises clearly explaining how the 1183
Customer failed to comply with proper set-out procedures. 1184
Contractor may educate the public on proper set-out procedures designed to maximize the 1185
efficiency of Collection (e.g. Carts spaced two (2) feet apart). However, Contractor acknowledges 1186
that such procedures are not practical in all circumstances and failure of the Customer to follow 1187
such procedures does not constitute a reason for non-Collection if the Discarded Materials may 1188
be safely and reasonably serviced. Contractor’s Route drivers shall dismount their Collection 1189
vehicles and reposition Containers as necessary to provide Collection service. Contractor may not 1190
require a Customer to set out the Customer’s Containers in such a manner that would block 1191
vehicle access to Customer’s driveway. Contractor and Customers may mutually agree to 1192
uncommon service locations if necessary for Collection in specific areas. 1193
F. Courtesy Collections for Admitted Late Set-Outs or Documented No Set-Outs. In the event that 1194
a Customer: (i) reports that their Container(s) were placed for Collection after Contractor’s 1195
Collection vehicle had already passed the Premises for regularly scheduled Collection; or (ii) claims 1196
that Contractor missed the Collection, even though Contractor’s driver coded the Customer as 1197
“no set-out”; and in either case requests that Contractor return and Collect their Containers, 1198
Contractor shall return to the Customer Premises and provide a courtesy Collection at no charge 1199
to the Customer, provided that Contractor is not required to provide more than two (2) courtesy 1200
Collections per Customer per calendar year under this paragraph. For Single-Family Customers, 1201
one (1) courtesy Collection represents Collection of up to three (3) Carts (Recyclable Materials, 1202
Organic Materials, Solid Waste) per incident. Contractor shall complete the courtesy Collection by 1203
the end of the following Working Day. 1204
G. Non-Collection Due to Contamination. Contractor may refuse to Collect a Recyclable Materials 1205
or Organic Materials Container that contains more than ten percent (10%) by volume of 1206
Prohibited Container Contaminants, provided that Contractor leaves a Non-Collection Notice in 1207
accordance with Section 4.10.3.C of this Agreement. Contractor shall instruct the Customer to 1208
either remove the Prohibited Container Contaminants, or pay the Rate to have the contents of 1209
the contaminated Recyclable Materials or Organic Materials Container Collected as Solid Waste. 1210
H. Identification of Excluded Waste. If a Collection vehicle driver observes Excluded Waste in an 1211
uncollected Container, the driver shall affix a Non-Collection Notice to the Container in 1212
accordance with this Section and shall not Collect the Discarded Materials. The Non-Collection 1213
Notice shall list the phone number of a facility that accepts the Excluded Waste or a phone 1214
number of an entity that can provide information on proper Disposal of the Excluded Waste. If a 1215
146

146 of 935
December 3, 2020 -31- City of Cupertino/Recology Franchise Agreement
Collection vehicle driver observes Excluded Waste, including instances in which the Container 1216
with the Excluded Waste has been Collected, the Collection vehicle driver shall record that 1217
observation, which shall include photographic evidence (if available), in the on-board computer 1218
system (if available) or some other system approved by the City Contract Manager, and 1219
immediately inform their Route supervisor. The Route supervisor shall investigate and initiate 1220
applicable action, including providing immediate notification to the applicable Approved 1221
Facility(ies) and/or Designated Facility(ies). 1222
I. Communications with Customer. Whenever a Container at the Premises of a Commercial or a 1223
Multi-Family Customer is not Collected, Contractor shall contact the Customer on the scheduled 1224
Collection day to explain why the Container was not Collected. Contractor shall contact such 1225
Customers through the application of a Container tag, by electronic communication, or phone 1226
call, provided that if Contractor does not possess an email address or phone number for the 1227
Customer, Contractor may provide a written communication, which shall include a request for an 1228
email address or phone number for future notifications. Whenever a Container is not Collected 1229
because it contains more than ten percent (10%) by volume of Prohibited Container 1230
Contaminants, a Customer service representative shall contact the Customer to discuss, and 1231
encourage the Customer to adopt proper Discarded Materials preparation and separation 1232
procedures. 1233
J. Contractor Return for Collection. Upon request from Customer, Contractor shall Collect 1234
Containers that received Non-Collection Notices within one (1) Working Day after Customer’s 1235
request if the request is made at least two (2) Working Days prior to the regularly scheduled 1236
Collection Day. Contractor may charge Customer the Rate for the special pick-up (“return trip pick-1237
up”) per section 4.10.3 K if Contractor successfully notifies Customer of the Rate for this service 1238
at the time the request is made by Customer. 1239
K. Rates Related to Non-Collection. Contractor may charge the Customer the Rate for a special pick-1240
up if the Customer elects to have their corrected or contaminated Recyclable Materials or Organic 1241
Materials Container serviced before the next regular Collection day. If the Customer chooses to 1242
have their contaminated Recyclable Materials or Organic Materials Container Collected as Solid 1243
Waste, Contractor may charge the Customer the Rate for the special pick-up. 1244
Six (6) months after the Commencement Date, Contractor and the City shall meet and confer to 1245
discuss the establishment of a Rate for contamination fees for Customers that do not properly 1246
sort their Discarded Materials. If the City elects to utilize contamination fees, Contractor shall be 1247
required to utilize the following approach for assessment of contamination fees. If Contractor 1248
observes Prohibited Container Contaminants in a Customer’s Organic Materials Container or 1249
Recyclable Materials Container on more than two (2) consecutive occasions, Contractor may 1250
impose a contamination fee, in the amount specified by the City, and shall notify the City in its 1251
monthly report of Customers for which contamination fees were assessed. Contractor shall leave 1252
a contamination fee notice on the contaminated Containers, describing the specific material(s) of 1253
issue, explaining how to correct future set-outs, and indicating that the Customer will be charged 1254
a contamination fee on its next bill. The format of the contamination fee notice must be approved 1255
by the City Contract Manager. Contractor shall Collect the contaminated Recyclable Materials or 1256
Organic Materials as Solid Waste and Transport the material to the Approved Facility. Upon City 1257
request, the Parties shall review the amount of revenue generated from contamination fees. 1258

Notices, listing all taggings, the addresses of the parties involved, the date of the notice, the 1268
reason for the notice, and the date and manner of resolution of each instance. Contractor shall 1269

than the City that are serviced outside of this Agreement. If such commingling is approved, Tons 1710
collected from outside the City service area shall be subtracted from the reported Tons Collected 1711
in the City service area by use of estimated Tonnages. In order to achieve accurate estimates, 1712
Contractor shall, at least once per year, arrange to collect materials from all approved non-City 1713
service areas independently for a minimum of one week for the purposes of weighing the 1714
materials by stream or shall provide other data or allocation methods that provide the City 1715
reasonable assurance of accuracy. City hereby approves commingling of the material described 1716

education, community outreach, Commercial and Multi-Family site visits, and technical assistance,
and will be substantially as proposed by Contractor in Exhibit G, Contractor’s Proposal, and in
Exhibit C, Public Education and Outreach Requirements, and notwithstanding Section 2 of Exhibit C,
may also include performing the route reviews contemplated by Sections 4.13 and 4.14, or other

of Gross Receipts and City Payments. Contractor's Compensation shall be the full, entire and complete 2401
compensation due to Contractor pursuant to this Agreement for all labor, equipment, materials and 2402
supplies, Transfer, Processing and Disposal fees, City Fees, taxes, insurance, bonds, overhead, operations, 2403
profit, and all other things necessary to perform all the services required by this Agreement in the manner 2404
and at the times prescribed. Nothing herein shall obligate the City to provide any compensation to 2405
Contractor beyond City Payments. 2406
If Contractor’s actual costs, including fees due to the City, exceed the total of Gross Receipts and City 2407
Payments, Contractor shall not be compensated for the difference. If Contractor’s actual costs, including 2408
fees due to the City, are less than the total of Gross Receipts and City Payments, Contractor shall retain 2409
the difference. 2410
Under this Agreement, Contractor shall have the right to charge and collect from Customers up to the 2411
maximum Rates in Exhibit G3 (as adjusted from time to time in accordance with this Agreement) for 2412
provision of services to Customers. Maximum Rates for Rate Period One are based on Contractor’s 2413
Proposal. Contractor’s proposed costs and operating assumptions for Rate Period One are presented in 2414

Recyclable Materials including California Redemption Value revenues. Such revenues have been 2417
considered in Contractor’s Proposal and City’s approval of maximum Rates for services provided under 2418
this Agreement. Neither Contractor nor the Approved Recyclable Materials Processing Facility are entitled 2419
to funds available through the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) through its 2420
“City/County Payment Program” pursuant to Section 14581(a)(3)(A) of the California Beverage Container 2421
Recycling and Litter Reduction Act. The City Contract Manager may require Contractor to provide 2422
information to assist City in preparing the requests or applications to CalRecycle for disbursement of such 2423
monies to the City. 2424
8.2 CONTRACTOR’S COMPENSATION AND ANNUAL ADJUSTMENTS 2425
A. General. Table 8-1 summarizes how Contractor’s Compensation will be determined for each Rate 2426

2. City Payments for Rate Periods One, Two, and Three. City shall pay Contractor monthly 2453
amounts for Rate Periods One, Two, and Three equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the annual 2454
City Payment amounts show in Table 8-2 above. Such payment shall be effected by Contractor 2455
netting the monthly amount against monthly payments of City Fees. 2456
3. Changes in Rate Periods One, Two and Three. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other 2457
provision of this Agreement, if before Rate Period Four City (i) sets other City Fees or adjusts 2458
existing City Fees under Section 7.3, (ii) directs or requires Contractor to use a Designated 2459
Facility under Section 3.2, or (iii) initiates a change in scope under Section 3.5, then 2460
Contractor’s Compensation shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect the increased or 2461
decreased costs to Contractor, and the parties shall negotiate such adjustment in good faith. 2462
C. Contractor’s Compensation for Subsequent Rate Periods. Contractor’s Compensation for 2463
subsequent Rate Periods, beginning with Rate Period Four, shall be adjusted annually in 2464
accordance with this Section 8.2 and Exhibit E. For each subsequent Rate Period, calculation of 2465
Contractor Compensation shall include City determination of whether a City Payment is 2466
necessary, and as applicable, the annualized amount of such City Payment for the given Rate 2467
Period. City shall pay the annualized amount of the City Payment to Contractor in equal monthly 2468
installments throughout the given Rate Period, one-twelfth (1/12th) of the annual amount each 2469
month, and such payments shall be effected by Contractor netting the monthly amount against 2470
178
CC 11-18-2025
178 of 935
December 3, 2020 -63- City of Cupertino/Recology Franchise Agreement
monthly payments of City Fees. Regardless of the Rate Period and whether the applicable Rate 2471
adjustment is index-based or cost-based, Contractor may propose that the dollar value of the 2472
calculated adjustment to Contractor’s Compensation be adjusted among sector(s) and/or 2473
material stream(s). 2474
Index-based Rate adjustments, which are described in Exhibit E1, involve use of various cost 2475
adjustment factors (such as the percentage change in the consumer price index and changes in 2476
tonnage and tipping fees) to calculate adjustments to the Rates. The index-based Rate Adjustment 2477
will be the default method used to determine Rates in Rate Periods Five, Six, Seven, Nine, and Ten 2478
(and, if the Term is extended, Twelve, Thirteen, Fourteen, and Fifteen). The index-based Rate 2479
adjustment calculations shall be performed in strict conformance to the procedures described in 2480
Exhibit E1. 2481
Cost-based Rate adjustments, which are described in Exhibit E2, involve review of Contractor’s 2482
actual costs and revenues and projection of costs and revenues for the coming Rate Period. The 2483
cost-based Rate adjustment will be used in Rate Period Four and Eight (and, if the Term is 2484
extended, Eleven). The cost-based Rate adjustment calculations shall be performed in strict 2485
conformance to the procedures described in Exhibit E2. 2486
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the cost-based methodology described in Exhibit E2 shall be used 2487
to set Rates as provided in Sections 3.2, 8.2.D and 8.3 of the Agreement, and the third paragraph 2488
of Section 1 of Exhibit E1. 2489
D. Rate Structure. The City may, at any time during the Term of this Agreement and in its sole 2490
discretion, change the relationship of individual maximum Rates in comparison with other 2491
maximum Rates. Any such changes would occur in conjunction with the annual Rate adjustment 2492
process described in Section 8.2.C or in conjunction with a Rate adjustment resulting from an 2493
extraordinary Rate adjustment in accordance with Section 8.3. Changes to the Rates charged 2494
under the new structure shall be calculated in such a way that the revised Rate structure 2495
generates at least the same amount of total revenue when the current number of accounts at 2496
each Service Level are multiplied by the Rates charged for each Service Level and the total for all 2497
Service Levels are summed. If Contractor can provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to the City 2498
Contract Manager, based on at least six (6) months of data after a change in the Rate structure 2499
under this paragraph, that the change resulted in migration that on an annualized basis resulted 2500
in at least fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) in lost revenue to Contractor, then Contractor may elect 2501
to have the next annual Rate adjustment be a Cost-Based Adjustment pursuant to Exhibit E2. As 2502
part of such adjustment, in addition to establishing Rates for the next Rate Period, Contractor 2503
shall be entitled to recover the Parties’ reasonable good faith estimate of the lost revenue to 2504
Contractor resulting from such migration. 2505
E. Miscellaneous Rates. If at any time during the Term of the Agreement, Contractor determines 2506
the need to add a Rate that does not appear on the Rate schedule in Exhibit G3, Contractor may 2507
propose and the City may approve a maximum Rate. For example, if a Customer requires 2508
Collection of Organic Materials in a fifteen (15) cubic yard Compactor five (5) times per week and 2509
the Rate schedule does not include this level of service, Contractor may propose and the City may 2510
approve a Rate for this level of service. City Council shall approve such Rate prior to Contractor 2511
billing any Customer under that rate. 2512

8.3 EXTRAORDINARY RATE ADJUSTMENTS 2513
The City does not guarantee stability in the cost of providing services; changes in facility conditions or 2514
availability of facilities; the Service Levels requested by Customers; the quantity or composition of 2515
materials subject to this Agreement; the business, legal, policy, or regulatory environment in which 2516
Contractor operates; availability of labor; or other similar matters. The Parties acknowledge that these 2517
inputs will be impacted during the Term of the Agreement based on a number of unpredictable factors, 2518
including the state of the economy; the number of residents and the number and type of businesses; 2519
participation levels of Residential and Commercial Customers in Diversion programs; changes in 2520
technology; and impacts of new bans or policies on the use and Disposal of materials, product 2521
stewardship, and extended producer responsibility. City may be directly or indirectly responsible for such 2522
impacts, including through its on-going efforts to increase Diversion. It is understood that Contractor 2523
expressly accepts the risk (and reward) for changes in such factors over the Term, unless other provisions 2524
of this Agreement provide specific consideration for or alternatives related to such factors. 2525
Except as provided in Section 3.2, the sole potential basis for Contractor to seek an extraordinary Rate 2526
adjustment in excess of the annual adjustment described in Section 8.2 shall be either: (A) a Change in 2527
Law after the Effective Date; or (B) City-directed change in scope pursuant to Section 3.5, if the Parties do 2528
not mutually agree on the Rate adjustment as provided in such section. 2529
In either of the above circumstances, Contractor may petition the City for an extraordinary Rate 2530
adjustment to the extent the Change in Law increases Contractor’s costs of performing its obligations 2531
under this Agreement. However, Contractor shall not request an adjustment under this Section 8.3 unless 2532
the total amount requested exceeds fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) in at least one (1) Rate Period. For 2533
purposes of determining whether the threshold is met, Contractor may aggregate the cost of multiple 2534
Changes in Law and/or changes in scope. 2535
Contractor shall prepare an application for the extraordinary Rate adjustment. Such submittal shall be 2536
prepared in compliance with the procedures described in Exhibit E2 and shall provide all information 2537
reasonably requested by the City Contract Manager specific to the nature of the request being made. 2538
Contractor shall pay all reasonable costs incurred by the City, including the costs of outside accountants, 2539
attorneys, and/or consultants, in order to make a determination of the reasonableness of the requested 2540
Rate adjustment. Such costs paid by Contractor shall be recoverable as “other adjustments” in the 2541
adjustment granted under this Section 8.3, or if no such adjustment is granted, the earliest possible annual 2542
Rate adjustment. The application shall clearly document the reason for the proposed adjustment, include 2543
calculation of the proposed Rate adjustments, and provide supporting documentation. 2544
In the event of such an application for extraordinary Rate increase, it is understood that Contractor shall 2545
have the burden of demonstrating to the reasonable satisfaction of the City that the failure of the City to 2546
adjust Rates will result in Contractor’s financial loss or failure to achieve reasonable profitability due to 2547
the Change in Law or City-directed change in scope, where reasonable profitability is the profit level 2548
determined by applying the Operating Ratio to Forecasted Total Annual Cost of Operations as provided in 2549
Exhibit E2. If Contractor meets the above burden, the City shall approve the adjustment of Rates so as to 2550
meet such profit level. Contractor will have to demonstrate financial loss or a failure to achieve reasonable 2551
profitability by allowing for the City Contract Manager review of financial statements and supporting 2552
documentation. 2553
The City Contract Manager shall have the right to request any other information that they, in their sole 2554
but reasonable judgment, determine is necessary to establish the reasonableness or accuracy of 2555
180
CC 11-18-2025
180 of 935
December 3, 2020 -65- City of Cupertino/Recology Franchise Agreement
Contractor’s request for an extraordinary Rate increase. Such information may include, but is not 2556
necessarily limited to, cost of service information required for the City to conduct analysis to satisfy the 2557
requirements of applicable Federal, State, and local laws and regulations related to municipal rate 2558
regulation. Contractor’s failure to fully cooperate in a timely manner with any reasonable request for 2559
information by the City Contract Manager may result in delay in the approval of the request for an 2560
extraordinary Rate adjustment. 2561
For purposes of this Section 8.3: (i) the Transfer, Processing, Composting, or Disposal services provided 2562
under this Agreement that are performed by any subcontractor or Affiliate of Contractor, shall be deemed 2563
to be services performed by Contractor under this Agreement; (ii) the costs incurred by any such 2564
subcontractor or Affiliate in performing such services shall be deemed to be costs of Contractor in 2565
performing this Agreement; and (iii) any Change in Law or City-directed change in scope affecting any such 2566
subcontractor or Affiliate shall be deemed to be a Change in Law or City-directed change in scope affecting 2567
Contractor. 2568
ARTICLE 9. 2569
INDEMNITY, INSURANCE, AND PERFORMANCE 2570
BOND 2571
9.1 INDEMNIFICATION 2572
A. General. Contractor shall indemnify, defend with counsel reasonably acceptable to the City, and 2573
hold harmless (to the full extent permitted by law) the City and its officers, officials, employees, 2574
volunteers, and agents (collectively, “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims, liability, 2575
loss, injuries, damage, expense, and costs (including without limitation costs and fees of litigation, 2576
including attorneys’ and expert witness fees and costs) (collectively, “Losses”) of every kind and 2577
description arising out of or in connection with Contractor’s performance under this Agreement, 2578
or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in the Agreement, except to the extent 2579
such Losses were caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the City. 2580
B. Excluded Waste. Contractor acknowledges that it is responsible for compliance during the entire 2581
Term of this Agreement with all Applicable Laws. Contractor shall not Collect, store, Transport, 2582
Process, use, or Dispose of any Excluded Waste except in strict compliance with all Applicable 2583
Laws. 2584
In the event that Contractor negligently or willfully mishandles Excluded Waste in the course of 2585
carrying out its activities under this Agreement, Contractor shall at its sole expense promptly take 2586
all investigatory and/or remedial action reasonably required for the remediation of such 2587
environmental contamination. Prior to undertaking any investigatory or remedial action, 2588
however, Contractor shall, if practicable, first obtain the City’s approval of any proposed 2589
investigatory or remedial action. Should Contractor fail at any time to take such action promptly 2590
after notice from City, the City may undertake such action at Contractor’s sole cost and expense, 2591
and Contractor shall reimburse the City for all such expenses within thirty (30) calendar days after 2592
being billed for those expenses, and any amount not paid within that thirty (30) calendar day 2593
period shall thereafter be deemed delinquent and subject to the delinquent fee payment 2594
provision of Section 7.4. These obligations are in addition to any defense and indemnity 2595
181
CC 11-18-2025
181 of 935
December 3, 2020 -66- City of Cupertino/Recology Franchise Agreement
obligations that Contractor may have under this Agreement. The provisions of this Section shall 2596
survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement. 2597
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Contractor’s duties under this Section 9.1.B shall not extend to 2598
any claims arising from the Disposal of Solid Waste at the Designated Disposal Facility, including, 2599
but not limited to, claims arising under CERCLA, unless such claim is a direct result of Contractor’s 2600
negligence or willful misconduct or Contractor owns or operates the Designated Disposal Facility. 2601
C. Environmental Indemnity. Contractor shall indemnify, defend with counsel reasonably 2602
acceptable to City, and hold harmless (to the full extent permitted by law) the Indemnitees from 2603
and against Losses of every kind and description attributable to the negligence or willful 2604
misconduct of Contractor in handling Excluded Waste. 2605
D. Related to AB 939, AB 341, AB 1826, and SB 1383. Contractor’s duty to defend and indemnify 2606
herein includes all fines and/or penalties imposed by CalRecycle, if the requirements of AB 939, 2607
AB 341, AB 1826, and/or SB 1383 are not met with respect to the waste stream Collected, 2608
Transported, and/or Processed by Contractor under this Agreement, and such failure is: (i) due to 2609
the failure of Contractor to meet its obligations under this Agreement; or, (ii) due to Contractor 2610
delays in providing information that prevents Contractor or the City from submitting reports to 2611
regulators in a timely manner. 2612
E. Related to Proposition 218. Should there be a Change in Law, including, but not limited to, a new 2613
judicial interpretation of Article XIII C and D of the California Constitution (commonly Proposition 2614
218), and such Change in Law directly, materially, and adversely impacts Rates for the services 2615
established in accordance with this Agreement, Contractor agrees to meet and confer with the 2616
City to discuss the impact of such Change in Law on either Party’s ability to perform under this 2617
Agreement. 2618
The City shall not be in default of this Agreement if it is determined by a court of competent 2619
jurisdiction that the City lacks the authority to set new maximum Rates or increase maximum 2620
Rates as contemplated under this Agreement, or if a majority protest under Proposition 218 2621
prevents City from doing so. In any such event, Contractor’s obligations under this Agreement 2622
shall be reduced so as to reduce Contractor’s costs of performing this Agreement by a dollar 2623
amount equivalent to the dollar amount of the Rate adjustment that could not be implemented. 2624
The Parties shall negotiate in good faith to determine the change in Contractor’s obligations, and 2625
shall use best efforts to complete such negotiation, and reflect the mutually-agreed changes in a 2626
written amendment to this Agreement, within ninety (90) days after the court decision or majority 2627
protest. The change shall be consistent with the court’s decision, if any, the majority protect, if 2628
any, and applicable Federal, State, and local laws and regulations. 2629
Nothing herein is intended to imply that California Constitution, Articles XIIIC or XIIID, apply to 2630
Rates established for services provided under this Agreement; rather this Section is provided 2631
merely to allocate risk of an adverse judicial interpretation between the Parties. 2632
This provision (i.e., Section 9.1) will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement 2633
and shall not be construed as a waiver of rights by the City to contribution or indemnity from third 2634
parties. 2635

activities hereunder. At the City Contract Manager’s request, Contractor will promptly provide 2704

10.2 OPPORTUNITY TO CURE 2773

which, in the City Contract Manager’s sole opinion, creates a potential public health and safety threat. 2775
Contractor shall be given ten (10) Business Days after written notification by City to cure any default 2776
arising under Section 10.1.C, E, F, I, and J; however, the City shall not be obligated to provide Contractor 2777

December 3, 2020 -71- City of Cupertino/Recology Franchise Agreement
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a breach/default is curable, but Contractor cannot reasonably cure the 2786

reasonable period, provided Contractor promptly commences to cure the breach/default and diligently 2788
pursues the cure to completion. However, this paragraph shall not be deemed to limit the first sentence 2789
of this Section 10.2. 2790
10.3 CITY’S REMEDIES IN THE EVENT OF DEFAULT 2791
Upon Contractor’s default, the City has the following remedies in the event of Contractor default: 2792
A. Waiver of Default. The City may waive any event of default or may waive Contractor’s 2793
requirement to cure a default event if the City determines that such waiver would be in the best 2794
interest of the City. The City’s waiver of an event of default is not a waiver of future events of 2795
default that may have the same or similar conditions. 2796
B. Suspension of Contractor’s Obligation. The City may suspend Contractor’s performance of its 2797
obligations if Contractor fails to cure default in the time frame specified in Section 10.2 until such 2798
time Contractor can provide assurance of performance in accordance with Section 10.8. 2799
C. Liquidated Damages. The City may assess Liquidated Damages for Contractor’s failure to meet 2800
specific performance standards pursuant to Section 10.6 and Exhibit F. 2801
D. Termination. In the event that Contractor should default, and subject to the right of Contractor 2802
to cure, in the performance of any provisions of this contract, and the default is not cured within 2803
the time periods specified in Section 10.2, then the City may, at its option, terminate this 2804
Agreement and/or hold a hearing at its City Council meeting to determine whether this 2805
Agreement should be terminated. In the event the City decides to terminate this Agreement, the 2806
City shall serve twenty (20) calendar days’ prior written notice of its intention to terminate upon 2807
Contractor. In the event the City exercises its right to terminate this Agreement, the City may, at 2808
its option, upon such termination, either directly undertake performance of the services or 2809
arrange with other Persons to perform the services with or without a written agreement. This 2810
right of termination is in addition to any other rights of the City upon a failure of Contractor to 2811
perform its obligations under this Agreement. 2812
Contractor shall not be entitled to any further revenues from operations authorized hereunder 2813
from and after the date of termination. 2814
E. Other Available Remedies. The City’s election of one (1) or more remedies described herein shall 2815
not limit the City from any and all other remedies at law and in equity including injunctive relief, 2816
etc. 2817
10.4 POSSESSION OF RECORDS UPON TERMINATION 2818
In the event of termination for an event of default, Contractor shall furnish the City Contract Manager 2819
with immediate access to all of its business records, including without limitation, proprietary Contractor 2820
computer systems, related to its Customers, Collection Routes, and billing of accounts for Collection 2821
services, to the extent required to enable City to perform or have a third party perform the Collection 2822
services contemplated by this Agreement to be performed by Contractor. 2823

10.5 CITY'S REMEDIES CUMULATIVE; SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE 2824
The City's rights to terminate the Agreement under Section 10.3 and to take possession of Contractor's 2825
records under Section 10.4 are not exclusive, and the City's termination of the Agreement and/or the 2826
imposition of Liquidated Damages shall not constitute an election of remedies. Instead, these rights shall 2827
be in addition to any and all other legal and equitable rights and remedies that the City may have. 2828
By virtue of the nature of this Agreement, the urgency of timely, continuous, and high-quality service; the 2829
lead time required to effect alternative service; and, the rights granted by the City to Contractor, the 2830
remedy of damages for a breach hereof by Contractor is inadequate and the City shall be entitled to 2831
injunctive relief (including but not limited to specific performance). 2832
10.6 PERFORMANCE STANDARDS AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES 2833
A. General. The Parties find that as of the time of the execution of this Agreement, it is impractical, 2834
if not impossible, to reasonably ascertain the extent of damages that shall be incurred by the City 2835
as a result of a breach by Contractor of its obligations under this Agreement. The factors relating 2836
to the impracticability of ascertaining damages include, but are not limited to, the fact that: (i) 2837
substantial damage results to members of the public who are denied services or denied quality or 2838
reliable service; (ii) such breaches cause inconvenience, anxiety, frustration, and deprivation of 2839
the benefits of the Agreement to individual members of the general public for whose benefit this 2840
Agreement exists, in subjective ways and in varying degrees of intensity which are incapable of 2841
measurement in precise monetary terms; (iii) that exclusive services might be available at 2842
substantially lower costs than alternative services and the monetary loss resulting from denial of 2843
services or denial of quality or reliable services is impossible to calculate in precise monetary 2844
terms; and, (iv) the termination of this Agreement for such breaches, and other remedies are, at 2845
best, a means of future correction and not remedies which make the public whole for past 2846
breaches. 2847
B. Service Performance Standards; Liquidated Damages for Failure to Meet Standards. The Parties 2848
further acknowledge that consistent, reliable Collection services are of utmost importance to the 2849
City and that the City has considered and relied on Contractor's representations as to its quality 2850
of service commitment in awarding the Agreement to it. The Parties recognize that some 2851
quantified standards of performance are necessary and appropriate to ensure consistent and 2852
reliable service and performance. The Parties further recognize that if Contractor fails to achieve 2853
the performance standards, or fails to submit required documents in a timely manner, the City 2854
and its residents and businesses will suffer damages, and that it is, and will be, impractical and 2855
extremely difficult to ascertain and determine the exact amount of damages that the City will 2856
suffer. Therefore, without prejudice to the City’s right to treat such non-performance as an event 2857
of default under this Section, the Parties agree that the Liquidated Damages amounts established 2858
in Exhibit F of this Agreement represent a reasonable estimate of the amount of such damages 2859
considering all of the circumstances existing on the Effective Date, including the relationship of 2860
the sums to the range of harm to the City that reasonably could be anticipated and the 2861
anticipation that proof of actual damages would be costly or impractical. 2862
Contractor agrees to pay (as Liquidated Damages and not as a penalty) the amounts set forth in 2863
the Performance Standards and Liquidated Damages, Exhibit F. 2864
188
CC 11-18-2025
188 of 935
December 3, 2020 -73- City of Cupertino/Recology Franchise Agreement
Before assessing Liquidated Damages, the City shall give Contractor notice of its intention to do 2865
so. The notice will include a brief description of the incident(s) and non-performance. The City 2866
may review (and make copies at its own expense) all information in the possession of Contractor 2867
relating to incident(s) and/or non-performance. The City may, within ten (10) Business Days after 2868
issuing the notice, request a meeting with Contractor. The City may present evidence of non-2869
performance in writing and through testimony of its employees and others relevant to the 2870
incident(s) and non-performance. The City Contract Manager will provide Contractor with a 2871
written explanation of their determination on each incident(s) and non-performance prior to 2872
authorizing the assessment of Liquidated Damages under this Section 10.6. The decision of the 2873
City Contract Manager shall be final. 2874
C. Amount. The City may assess Liquidated Damages for each calendar day or event, as appropriate, 2875
that Contractor is determined to be liable in accordance with this Agreement in the amounts 2876
specified in Exhibit F. 2877
D. Timing of Payment. Contractor shall pay any Liquidated Damages assessed by the City within ten 2878
(10) Business Days after the date the Liquidated Damages are assessed. If they are not paid within 2879
the ten (10) Business Day period, the City may proceed against the performance bond required 2880
by the Agreement, treat the failure as a breach under Section 10.1, or all of the above. 2881
10.7 EXCUSE FROM PERFORMANCE 2882
The Parties understand and agree herein that the services provided under this Agreement are essential 2883
to the protection of public health and safety and that Contractor may be required to perform these 2884
services under difficult, adverse, and unforeseen circumstances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party 2885
shall be excused from performing their obligations hereunder (except payment obligations, including any 2886
obligation to pay Liquidated Damages) to the extent and for the period of time it is prevented from so 2887
performing by reason of floods, earthquakes, other acts of nature, fires, epidemic/pandemic, war, civil 2888
insurrection, riots, acts of any domestic governmental body (including judicial action), and other events 2889
arising after the Effective Date that could not with reasonable diligence be controlled or prevented by the 2890
Party affected by the event ( “Force Majeure Events”). However, performance shall only be excused in the 2891
event that the Party requesting relief from performance can specifically demonstrate that it is prevented 2892
from performance of a specific obligation, and shall only be excused from those requirements that it 2893
demonstrates it is prevented from performing and only for such time as it is prevented from performing. 2894
All other performance obligations shall be required to continue. 2895
In the case of labor unrest or job action directed at a third party over whom Contractor has no control, 2896
the inability of Contractor to provide services in accordance with this Agreement due to the unwillingness 2897
or failure of the third party to: (i) provide reasonable assurance of the safety of Contractor's employees 2898
while providing such services; or, (ii) make reasonable accommodations with respect to Container 2899
placement and point of Delivery, time of Collection, or other operating circumstances to minimize any 2900
confrontation with pickets or the number of Persons necessary to make Collections shall, to that limited 2901
extent, excuse performance. The foregoing excuse shall be conditioned on Contractor's cooperation in 2902
performing Collection services at different times and in different locations. Further, in the event of labor 2903
unrest, including but not limited to strike, work stoppage or slowdown, sickout, picketing, or other 2904
concerted job action conducted by Contractor’s employees or directed at Contractor, or a subsidiary, 2905
Contractor shall not be excused from performance. In such case, Contractor shall continue to provide a 2906
reasonably satisfactory level of performance during the pendency thereof, but Contractor shall not be 2907
189
CC 11-18-2025
189 of 935
December 3, 2020 -74- City of Cupertino/Recology Franchise Agreement
required to adhere strictly to the specific requirements of this Agreement regarding Routes, Collection 2908
times or similar matters; provided, however, that in no event shall more than seven (7) calendar days 2909
elapse between Collections for any Customer. Any labor action initiated by Contractor, including but not 2910
limited to a lock-out, shall not be grounds for any excuse from performance and Contractor shall perform 2911
all obligations under this Agreement during the pendency of such Contractor-initiated labor action. 2912
The Party claiming excuse from performance shall, within two (2) calendar days after such Party has notice 2913
of such cause (or, if later, has notice of the impossibility or impracticability of performance), give the other 2914
Party notice of the facts constituting such cause and asserting its claim to excuse under this Section. 2915
If either Party validly exercises its rights under this Section, the Parties hereby waive any claim against 2916
each other for any damages sustained thereby. 2917
The partial or complete interruption or discontinuance of Contractor's services caused by one (1) or more 2918
of the events described in this Article shall not constitute a default by Contractor under this Agreement. 2919
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if Contractor is excused from performing Collection services 2920
hereunder for any of the causes listed in this Section for a period of thirty (30) calendar days or more, the 2921
City shall nevertheless have the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement by giving ten (10) 2922
Business Days’ prior written notice to Contractor, in which case the provisions of Section 10.4 shall apply. 2923
10.8 RIGHT TO DEMAND ASSURANCES OF PERFORMANCE 2924
The Parties acknowledge that it is of the utmost importance to the City and the health and safety of all 2925
those members of the public residing or doing business within the City who will be adversely affected by 2926
interrupted waste management service, that there be no material interruption in services provided under 2927
this Agreement. 2928
If Contractor: (i) is the subject of any labor unrest including work stoppage or slowdown, sick-out, 2929
picketing or other concerted job action; (ii) appears in the reasonable judgment of the City to be unable 2930
to regularly pay its bills as they become due; or, (iii) is the subject of a civil or criminal judgment or order 2931
entered by a Federal, State, regional or local agency for violation of an applicable Federal, State, and local 2932
laws and regulations, and the City believes in good faith that Contractor's ability to perform under the 2933
Agreement has thereby been placed in substantial jeopardy, the City may, at its sole option and in addition 2934
to all other remedies it may have, demand from Contractor reasonable assurances of timely and proper 2935
performance of this Agreement, in such form and substance as the City believes in good faith is reasonably 2936
necessary in the circumstances to evidence continued ability to perform under the Agreement. If 2937
Contractor fails or refuses to provide satisfactory assurances of timely and proper performance in the 2938
form and by the date required by the City, such failure or refusal shall be an event of default for purposes 2939
of Section 10.1. 2940
10.9 DISPUTE RESOLUTION 2941
In the event of dispute between the City Contract Manager and Contractor regarding the interpretation 2942
of or the performance of services under this Agreement which results in a material impact to 2943
Contractor’s revenue and/or cost of operations, as defined in Section 5.9, the provisions of Section 2944
10.9 shall apply.A. Meet and Confer. In the event of dispute between the Parties regarding 2945
the interpretation of, or the performance of any obligation under, this Agreement which results 2946
in a material impact to Contractor’s revenue and/or cost of operations, the City and Contractor 2947

accordance with Section 10.9.A, the City and Contractor agree that such dispute shall be 2951
submitted to mandatory, non-binding mediation by a mutually agreed upon independent third 2952
party. 2953
C. Period of Time. Insofar as allowed by applicable Federal, State, and local laws and regulations, 2954
the period of time otherwise applicable for filing claims against the City under applicable Federal, 2955
State, and local laws and regulations shall be tolled during the period of time for which meet and 2956
confer or mediation procedures are pending, in accordance with Sections 10.9.A and 10.9.B. 2957
D. Litigation. Litigation may be commenced only after efforts to resolve the dispute(s) pursuant to 2958
Sections 10.9.A, 10.9.B, and 10.9.C have failed and any necessary administrative claim(s) to City 2959
