WHEREAS, Algona has inadequate facilities to properly handle the Waste Materials produced as a result of their Public Works street sweeping and Vactor maintenance activities; and WHEREAS, Auburn has sufficient capacity at their decant facility to handle the Algona Waste Materials. NOW, THEREFORE, for the consideration stated in this Agreement, Algona and Auburn do agree as follows: 1. PURPOSE The purpose of this Agreement is to provide for proper handling, processing and disposal of Street Sweeper and Vactor truck materials, herein referred to as "Waste Materials" generated by Algona. 2. RESPONSIBILITIES The City of Algona shall deliver Waste Materials to the decant area of the City of Auburn Maintenance & Operations facility (hereafter, the "Facility'), currently located at 1305 C Street SW, during the hours of 7:00 am and 3:00 pm. The unloading of the Waste Materials by Algona at the Facility is to be done under the supervision of an Auburn employee at the Facility. Algona will only send operators to use the decant facility that have been properly trained by Auburn on the safe and efficient use of the facility and dumping of Waste Materials. If conditions at the Auburn Facility require, Auburn reserves the right to request Algona to retain its Waste Materials until such time as the conditions at the Facility allow Auburn to accept the Waste Materials again. Auburn will give Algona as much advance Resolution No. 4998 Exhibit 'A' October 21, 2013 Page 1 of 6 notice of these conditions as is practicable. Auburn further reserves the right to reject any individual shipment of Waste Materials. Auburn will provide for the dewatering and the disposal of the Waste Materials in compliance with all local, state, and federal permits pertaining to the dewatering and disposal of such Waste Materials. 3. VOLUME Auburn shall accept from Algona's Waste Materials in the following volumes: not to exceed 20 tons per month or a total of 150 tons per year as measured at Auburn's truck scale. Auburn may accept Waste Material from Algona that exceeds these volumes upon the review of a written request from Algona. All such requests shall be made to Auburn's Public Works Maintenance and Operations Manager thirty (30) days in advance of proposed delivery of such additional Waste Materials. 4. COST FOR SERVICES A. Waste Materials. Algona shall pay Auburn $30.00 per month base fee for administration costs and $70.00 per ton of Waste Materials for handling, processing, testing and disposal fee (measured as scale weight). Auburn will bill Algona on a quarterly basis. B Sweeping Services. Auburn will provide street sweeping services on an as needed basis to Algona at the rate of $98.00 per hour for sweeper and operator; this does not include fees for the handling, processing, testing and disposal of Waste Materials generated from sweeping, as referenced in Paragraph 4 A, above. Auburn reserves the right to increase these fees in response to increases in labor, disposal, and regulatory costs. Auburn shall give Algona at least sixty (60) days' advance written notification of any proposed fee increases. S. DECANT FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS Algona recognizes that the capacity of Auburn's Facility is limited and that additional capacity will need to be provided, as both Cities' waste disposal needs continue to grow, in order to provide long-term service to Algona. Algona will also agree to participate in planning and funding of long term capacity improvements to the decant process in Auburn, including but not limited to improvements to the existing facility, installation of additional facility or other means to add additional capacity. By way of example only, and not by way of limitation, Algona Resolution No. 4998 Exh i bit'A' October 21, 2013 Page 2 of 6 and Auburn contemplate that subsequent amendments or agreements might address the following types of issues: planning, design and construction costs for potential improvements to the existing Facility or construction of a new decant facility. The parties agree that Auburn will act as lead entity in the all aspects of any proposed improvement project. Auburn will consult in advance of any final decisions with Algona for the purposes of determining Algona's future needs and Algona's desire to participate in funding for an improved facility or a new facility. 6. TERM The duration of this Agreement shall be for an initial term of three (3) years beginning January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2016, and may be extended thereafter for an optional, additional term of three (3) years beginning January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2019, by written amendment of the Parties, including but not limited to mutual agreement on proposed changes — increases or decreases —to the cost for services in Section 4 of this Agreement, not later than sixty (60) days prior to the end of the initial term.
