� Managing Tomorrow's Resources Today Ms. Jennifer Auletta April 29, 2015 Page 11 of 14 Table 9: Projected Future Rate Impacts to Single Family Residential Service Due to Special Rate Review (Without Profit and City Franchise Fees) Survey of Comparable Rates Attachment 1 shows the results of HF&H's survey of solid waste rates for jurisdictions located throughout Alameda County as of March 4, 2015). We have applied the recommended rate increases specific to each service level for purposes of comparing ACI's rates to other jurisdictions. It should be noted that the comparable jurisdictions will be considering rate increases either July 1, 2015 or January 1, 2016, but they are unknown at this time. Residential rates for a 30-35 gallon container range from $18.10/month (Emeryville) to $51.88/month (Piedmont), while ACI's proposed rate ranges from $27.33/month to $28.72/ month. Commercial rates for a 1 -yard bin serviced one time per week range from $86.95/month (Fremont) to $261.83/month (Castro Valley Sanitary District), while ACT's proposed rate ranges from $119.83/month to $125.94/month. We caution the City that this survey is presented for information only. They should not draw conclusions from this information, because rate comparisons are intrinsically difficult and often misleading. This difficulty results from differences in items such as: • Services provided by ACI that may not be provided (or only partially provided) to other jurisdictions; • The terrain in which the service is performed; • Disposal costs; • Rate structures (as illustrated in the rate survey where eleven jurisdictions have higher 32 -gallon rates than the highest San Leandro's proposed 32 -gallon rate; however, only e !� jurisdictions have a higher rate for commercial 1 cubic yard bin serviced once per week); and, 0 Governmental fees (e.g., franchise fees, vehicle impact fees, etc.)
