Hilton <br /> <br /> <br />July 28, 2023 <br /> <br />Jennifer Auletta <br />Deputy Public Works Director <br />City of San Leandro <br />Department of Public Works <br />14200 Chapman Road <br />San Leandro, CA 94578 <br /> <br />Via email: jauletta@sanleandro.org <br /> <br />Subject: Proposal to Support the City’s Recycling Program During Staff Transition <br />Jennifer Auletta, <br />HF&H Consultants, LLC (HF&H) is pleased to provide this proposal to continue providing technical <br />assistance to the City of San Leandro (City) regarding various components of SB 1383 and Solid Waste <br />Program Management. Primarily, our role will be to supplement City staff by a) taking on duties to ensure <br />the City maintains compliance with state regulations, including SB 1383, and b) supporting the overall <br />operation of solid waste programs and services administered by the City. <br />In Fiscal Year (FY) 2022/23, HF&H participated in a collaborative partnership with the City’s franchised <br />hauler, Alameda County Industries (ACI), to support the City in reaching full compliance with AB 341 and <br />AB 1826. These efforts included coordinating site visits and technical assistance to non-compliant entities, <br />assisting the City in navigating CalRecycle’s enforcement process , and ongoing coordination with ACI. <br />Additionally, HF&H is actively supporting the City with planning and implementing a procurement process <br />for collection and post-collection solid waste, recycling, and organics services. Our history with the City <br />will allow HF&H to provide coordinated and efficient support to the City during their upcoming staffing <br />transition. <br />This proposal includes work to be performed during FY 2023/24. During that time, HF&H will build from <br />our current work with the City to further develop and implement the City’s SB 1383 regulatory compliance <br />plan for FY 2023/24, support ongoing management of solid waste programing, and maintain flexibility to <br />support the City in addressing issues as they arise. The below tasks represent a sample of the scope of <br />work HF&H may undertake as part of this engagement. We will work closely with City staff to develop the <br />specific details of any task, as needed, prior to beginning the work. We appreciate the strong working <br />relationship that the City and HF&H have developed over the years and look forward to providing further <br />assistance in these important areas.
