Re: Resolution 40-26 – Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into Agreements with
Rumpke of Ohio, Inc. for the Collection, Transportation, and Delivery for
Disposal or Processing of Solid Waste, Recyclable Materials, and Yard Waste
Generated by Residential Units, Residential Unit Equivalents, Municipal Facilities,
and During Special Events; and Acceptance and Processing of Recyclable
Materials
Background
Council approved Resolution 48-21 on August 30, 2021, authorizing two separate agreements with
Rumpke of Ohio, Inc. for (1) the Recycling Processing Agreement for an initial two-year term with
three optional one-year extensions, and (2) the Collection Services Agreement for an initial three-
year term with two optional one-year extensions. The terms of the current Recycling Processing
Agreement and Collection Services Agreement are set to expire on December 31, 2026.
Staff has worked with the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio (“SWACO”), Consortium One
members, and Eastman & Smith Ltd., who provides legal counsel to the Consortium, to conduct
competitive bid processes for Collection Services and Recycling Processing Services. The city has
partnered with SWACO and other Central Ohio communities to solicit bids for solid waste services
collaboratively since 2003. The Consortium currently comprises ten
communities representing approximately 60,300 households: the cities of Dublin, Bexley, Gahanna,
New Albany, Reynoldsburg, and Westerville; and Blendon, Mifflin, Plain, and Washington
townships.
On April 9, 2026, the City of Dublin and Washington Township received and opened bids for
Collection Services. Two responsive bids were received from Rumpke of Ohio, Inc. and Waste
Management of Ohio, Inc. On July 17, 2026, the City of Dublin and Washington Township received
and opened bids for Recycling Processing Services. Two responsive bids were received from
Rumpke of Ohio, Inc. and Waste Management of Ohio.
Bid Results
Collection Services
Bids for Collection Services were opened on April 9, 2026. Rumpke and Waste Management
both submitted bids. Rumpke’s bid was deemed the lowest at $28.58 monthly, per household, fixed
for five years (2027-2031). The five year term was agreed upon by the Consortium and provides
pricing stability and greater budget predictability. The City currently has 14,771 households

covered by the Collection Services Contract. Waste Management’s bid was $50.00 monthly, per
household, fixed for five years. Rumpke is the City’s current Collection Services provider. The
current 2026 rate is $24.22 monthly, per household. The contract includes incremental annual cost
increases. From 2022 through 2024, the City’s fixed collection rate was $22.61 monthly, per
household. The City exercised two one year extensions, with rates of $23.40 monthly, per
household in 2025 and $24.22 monthly, per household in 2026. The rate increased by 7.12% from
2022 through 2026. The proposed 2027 rate of $28.58 monthly, per household represents an
18.0% increase over the 2026 rate. However, the $28.58 monthly rate would remain fixed for the
five year agreement term, from 2027 through 2031. For comparison purposes, the proposed
18.0% increase is equivalent to approximately 3.37% annually on a compounded basis if it were
spread evenly over the five year contract term.
Recycling Processing Services
Bids for Recycling Processing Services were opened on July 17, 2026. Rumpke and Waste
Management both submitted bids. Rumpke was deemed the lowest bidder, with a maximum
tipping fee of $35.00 per ton. This contract would run concurrently with the Collection Services
Contract and the bid pricing is consistent with the City’s current Recycling Processing Contract. As
under the existing contract, the bid includes a revenue-sharing mechanism for recyclable materials.
Rumpke’s bid provides a maximum rebate of $20.00 per ton. If the calculation yields a positive net
value per ton, the City and Rumpke will share that value equally, up to a maximum rebate of
$20.00 per ton to the City. If the calculation yields a negative net value per ton, the City will pay
the full amount, up to the maximum tipping fee of $35.00 per ton.
The maximum rebate remains unchanged from the previous Recycling Processing Contract. For
example, if Rumpke’s processing cost is $85.00 per ton and the market value of the recyclable
material is $55.00 per ton, the City would pay the $30.00 difference. In all cases, the City’s cost
would not exceed $35.00 per ton.
The proposed pricing model is intended to provide a reliable processing solution at a fair,
consistent and sustainable price. Such models adjust pricing in response to recycling markets,
helping the Consortium communities and processors sustain local recycling programs.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that City Council approve Resolution 40-26, authorizing the City Manager to
enter into two (2) five-year (5) agreements with Rumpke of Ohio, Inc.: (1) a Collection Services
Contract for the collection, transportation, and delivery for disposal or processing of residential
solid waste, recyclable materials, and yard waste generated within the City of Dublin; and (2) a
Recycling Processing Services Contract for the acceptance and processing of recyclable materials.

year or other dates as indicated by the Participating Community and provide the survey
results to the Participating Community and the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio no
later than May 31st and November 30th of the survey year. The participation survey shall
delineate the total number of households that participate in the recycling program by
documenting whether a Recycling container is placed out for collection on a regularly
scheduled collection day. The Collection Contractor shall conduct the survey for all

release of funds held by the Collection Contractor, or invoice the Collection Contractor,
one hundred dollars ($100.00) per service call plus fifty dollars ($50.00) per hour for
cleanup services performed by the Participating Community. If the Collection Contractor

times in any ninety (90) day period, the Participating Community may, at the Participating
Community’s discretion, withhold or invoice two hundred dollars ($200.00) per occasion,

6.5 Adjustment for Changes in Cost of Fuel. Either the Collection Contractor or the
Participating Community may request a quarterly per Residential Unit fuel price
adjustment for Collection Services in a form approved by the Participating Community.
For purposes of this provision, a request for fuel price adjustment, upon approval by the
Participating Community or Collection Contractor, as applicable, will result in an
adjustment to the Collection Contractor’s invoice received by the Participating Community
or Residential Units. All fuel price adjustment requests and approvals shall be in writing
and a copy shall be provided to SWACO. The form of invoice shall include a fuel price
adjustment as an increase or decrease in the quarterly price per Residential Unit for the
collection of Solid Waste, Recyclable Materials or Yard Waste.
The invoice shall include the base bid price per Residential Unit, and a separate fuel price
adjustment amount to be added or subtracted for each Residential Unit. The price may be
adjusted when the price of diesel fuel has changed during the preceding period in
increments of at least twenty-five cents ($.25) per gallon. (For example: an increase or
decrease in the price per gallon of diesel fuel between $.25 and $.49 shall be equal to $.25
per gallon for purposes of the fuel price adjustment formula provided; an increase or
decrease in the price per gallon of diesel fuel between $.50 and $.74 shall be equal to $.50
per gallon for purposes of the fuel price adjustment formula, etc.).
The base price for fuel to be utilized in determining whether a fuel price adjustment is
appropriate shall be the average price per gallon of diesel fuel on April 6, 2026 (the Monday
preceding the Bid opening), as determined by the Weekly On-Highway Retail Diesel Fuel
Price, All Types, for the Midwest Region, as maintained by the Energy Information
Administration of the United States Department of Energy (“EIA”).
The per Residential Unit fuel price adjustment may first be adjusted, if necessary, on the
Collection Services commencement date contained in the Notice to Proceed. Thereafter,
the per Residential Unit fuel price adjustment may be made at the end of each quarter
(quarters being January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December) of the contract period, when the price per gallon of diesel fuel,
as published by the EIA each Monday, or Tuesday when Monday is a Federal Holiday, has
changed by an average amount during the preceding quarter of at least twenty -five cents
more or less ($0.25) per gallon from the base price. Each twenty -five-cent incremental
($0.25) change in the average price per gallon of diesel fuel, when compared with the base
price per gallon for diesel fuel, shall adjust the per Residential Unit fee as follows:
M = total number of miles traveled by the Collection Contractor in one month for the
Participating Community, (including miles traveled on the Collection Route, and average
number of round trips to: the Franklin County Sanitary Landfill, Designated Recycl able
Materials Facility, and Participating Community-Designated Yard Waste Facility), divided
by three (3) (the average number of miles per gallon for collection vehicles) multiplied by
18
8648948.1
P, where P = fuel price adjustment in $.25 per gallon increments, divided by RU plus RUE,
where RU = the number of Residential Units and RUE = the number of Residential Unit
Equivalents .
Per Residential Unit base-line charge + M/3 x P
RU+RUE
The base price for fuel to be utilized in determining whether a fuel price adjustment is
appropriate shall be the average diesel gallon equivalent of CNG fuel ($3.11) as
determined by the average diesel gallon equivalent (“DGE”) in the Midwest Region on
April 6, 2026 (the Monday preceding the Bid opening), or the most recent price published,
as determined by the U.S. Department of Energy, Clean Cities Alternative Fuel Price
Report (energy.gov), for the Midwest Region (Table 6). In the event, this resource is not
available, the Participating Community and Collection Contractor shall agree to an
alternative resource to determine the average price for CNG fuel.
If there is a mixed fleet, CNG and Diesel trucks, a weighted average, for example, would
be: 10 CNG trucks 5 diesel, so diesel goes up $0.50 and CNG stays the same 1/3 of fleet
gets an increase meaning its $0.50/3 =$0.17 as a weighted average. So instead of P (in the
formula) equaling $0.50, P would equal $0.17.
The Collection Contractor shall notify owners and/or tenants of Residential Units or
Residential Unit Equivalents of any fuel price adjustment made pursuant to this Section.
Such notification shall be given no later than 30 days following approval of the fuel price
adjustment and may be included in the notice required by Section 4.4 herein.
6.6 Permissible Pass-Through Charges. The following fees, rates, or charges shall be passed
on by the Collection Contractor:
a) Any and all Governmental Fee increases or decreases for disposal or processing of
Solid Waste at the Franklin County Sanitary Landfill or at the Participating
Community-Designated Recycling Processing Facility and Yard Waste Services
Facilities. A Governmental Fee is a fee applied to the disposal or processing of
Solid Waste levied by the United States Federal Government, State of Ohio,
Franklin County, or SWACO;
b) Any increase or decrease in a rate or charge for the disposal of Solid Waste at the
Franklin County Sanitary Landfill; and
c) Any increase or decrease in a rate or charge incurred for disposal or processing of
organics, Food Waste or Yard Waste at a Designated Facility or SWACO-approved
facility.
The Collection Contractor shall give the Participating Community and Residents as much
notice as is practicable before adjusting for Governmental Fee, rate or charge
modifications. In the event an adjustment is necessary, the Collection Contractor charge
per Residential Unit shall be adjusted by an amount to be determined as follows:
19
8648948.1
For Solid Waste Disposal: per ton price difference ÷ 12
For Recyclable Materials Processing: (1/4) (per ton price difference) ÷ 12
For Yard Waste Composting: (1/5) (per ton price difference) ÷ 12
Any charge for contaminated loads or excessive residuals by the Recyclable Materials
processing designated facility or yard waste processing facility shall be the sole
responsibility of the Collection Contractor, including charges assessed at a yard waste
processing facility for residual solid waste disposed as a result of failure to adequately clean
out a collection vehicle that was previously used for collecting solid waste prior to the
collection of yard waste. If any such charges are assessed to the Collection Contractor, the
Collection Contractor shall notify the Participating Community within 48 hours of
receiving the charge.
6.7. Data Collection and Monthly Reporting. The Collection Contractor shall prepare and
report the following data on the Collection Services provided by the Collection Contractor
on forms provided or approved by the Participating Community:
a) A record of the number and addresses of Residential Units and Residential Unit
Equivalents within the Participating Community collected by the Collection
Contractor on each regular collection day;
b) A record of the number of collection container types by volume and address within
the Participating Community collected by the Collection Contractor on each regular
collection day;

Participating Community shall provide notice to the Collection Contractor, by certified
mail, return receipt requested, of the alleged material failure of the Collection Contractor
to comply with the Collection Agreement. The Collection Contractor shall have ten (10)
days to provide the Participating Community with written assurance, which can be
substantiated by reasonable proof, that the material failure(s) issues identified in the notice
have been corrected. In the event that the Collection Contractor fails to provide such written
assurance and substantiating proof within the ten (10) day period for corrective action, or
there are ongoing or continuing failures to perform the Collection Services, the
Participating Community may terminate this Collection Agreement. Any such termination
shall not take effect until the Participating Community is able to secure alternate or
substitute performance for the Collection Services. The Participating Community may
commence the process to obtain an alternate or substitute service provider for the
Collection Services following the failure of the Collection Contractor to cure the alleged
material failure to the satisfaction of the Participating Community, in the exercise of the
reasonable discretion of the Participating Community.
7.2. Surety or Participating Community Cover in the Event of a Material Failure. In the
event of termination, the Collection Contractor’s surety shall have the right to take over
and perform under the Collection Agreement. However, if the surety does not commence
performance, the Participating Community shall take over performance by contract or
otherwise at the expense of the surety. In the event there is no surety -provided cover, or
the Participating Community is unable to provide or obtain cover, the effective termination
date may be delayed by the Participating Community until the Participating Community
completes the process of obtaining a substitute service provider of the Collection Services.
21

In such event, the Collection Contractor shall continue to perform its responsibilities under
this Collection Agreement until the effective date of termination. Material failure includes,
but is not limited to, the Participating Community’s receipt of more than forty (40) bona
fide complaints in any given week regarding the Collection Services. A bona fide
complaint is a complaint that the Participating Community has investigated and determined
that the complaints represent failures of the Collection Contractor to provide the required
Collection Services. Material failure also includes the failure of the Collection Contractor
to provide the Performance Bond and proof of insurance as required, or payment of the
Participating Community income taxes.
7.3. Termination for Change of Control of Collection Contractor. The award of this
Collection Agreement is based on the ownership and control of the Collection Contractor
as of the time of the award. Such ownership and control is a material term in such award.
If during the term of this Collection Agreement, the Collection Contractor shall be merged
or sold, the Participating Community shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate
this Collection Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ written notice of termination to the
Collection Contractor. In the event of such notice of termination, the Collection Contractor
shall continue to perform under the terms of this Collection Agreement until such time as
the Participating Community is able to obtain alternate or substitute service.
7.4. Termination for Excessive Fuel Price Adjustment. In the event that the fuel price
adjustment provision results in a twenty percent (20%) increase in the price per Residential
Unit per month for the Collection Services from the initial price per Residential Unit per
month accepted by the Participating Community, the Participating Community may, in the
exercise of its sole discretion and without liability to the Collection Contractor, terminate
this Agreement and issue a replacement Invitation to Bid. In the event of termination by
the Participating Community as provided herein, the effective date of any such termination
shall be the date of the Notice to Proceed in the replacement Invitation to Bid.
7.5. Expiration or Termination of Participating Community-Designated Facility
Agreements. The Collection Contractor is required to deliver materials collected pursuant
to the Collection Services to certain Participating Community-Designated Facilities. In the
event of the expiration or termination of an agreement with a Participating Community -
Designated Facility, and until notification by the Participating Community of an alternative
facility selected by the Participating Community, the Collection Contractor shall be
excused from delivering materials to the Participating Community-Designated Facility and
may deliver such materials to an alternate facility selected by the Collection Contractor.
Upon the Participating Community’s designation of an alternate facility, the Collection
Contractor shall deliver all applicable materials to the alternate Participating Community-
Designated Facility. Any increase or decrease in the cost of providing Collection Services
as a result of utilizing an alternate facility due to the expiration or termination of a
Participating Community-Designated Facility agreement shall be documented and
provided to the Participating Community. Any additional reasonable costs as determined
by the Participating Community incurred by the Collection Contractor may be invoiced as
an authorized increase in the price for that service on a per Residential Unit basis. In the
event that any such increase in price requires that the Participating Community obtain
competitive bids for the Collection Services, the Collection Contractor shall continue to
provide the Collection Services at the increased price as authorized until the Participating
22
8648948.1
Community is able to issue a replacement Invitation to Bid. In the event of termination by

emailing whenever possible , as well as posts on social media. We will also support
the municipality in getting the message out via their own channels and methods.
