Anyone 17 else to testify on Bill No. 190465? 18 (No response.) 19 COUNCILMAN GREENLEE: I know we 20 have an amendment to that also. 21 Thank you. 22 We're going to call the next 23 three bills up together because they're 24 all basically related. 25 Mr. McMonagle, you want to read STREHLOW & ASSOCIATES, INC.

Yes, sir. Thank you. 8 Good afternoon, Councilperson 9 Squilla, Council Chairperson Greenlee, 10 and the honorable members of the Streets 11 and Service Committee. My name is 12 Carlton Williams, Streets Commissioner. 13 Joining me today are Deputy Commissioner 14 of Sanitation, Keith Warren; Recycling 15 Director, Kyle Lewis; and Environmental 16 Planning Director, Scott McGrath. We are 17 pleased to provide testimony in support 18 of Bill Nos. 190468 and 190469 related to 19 the municipal solid waste disposal 20 contracts for the City of Philadelphia. 21 The proposed contracts were 22 negotiated under the new Best Value 23 process comprised of a committee of 24 several key departments, including 25 Streets Department, Law Department, STREHLOW & ASSOCIATES, INC. (215) 504-4622 Committee on Streets and Services June 5, 2019 Page 120 1 6/5/19 - STREETS - BILL 181004, ETC. 2 Procurement Department, Office of 3 Economic Opportunity, and the Zero Waste 4 and Litter Cabinet. I would like to take 5 a moment to acknowledge their commitment 6 and hard work throughout the entire 7 process. The contracts were evaluated 8 based on factors including disposal 9 costs, solid waste experience, 10 operational efficiency, equal opportunity 11 participation, waste reduction, and 12 litter prevention strategies. Each 13 proposal was given a rating based on the 14 factors above and scored accordingly by 15 the evaluation committee. The committee 16 rated and selected Waste Management of 17 Pennsylvania, Inc. and Covanta for the 18 City's municipal solid waste disposal 19 contract with terms and conditions. 20 The terms contain a four-year 21 contract agreement with three one-year 22 renewable option years at the City's 23 discretion. The blended disposal cost 24 per ton in year one is $64.49, which is 25 less than the Streets Department STREHLOW & ASSOCIATES, INC. (215) 504-4622 Committee on Streets and Services June 5, 2019 Page 121 1 6/5/19 - STREETS - BILL 181004, ETC. 2 projection of $65 a ton. The blended 3 rate under the current contract is $63 a 4 ton. The total value of the contracts 5 over the seven-year period is $295 6 million, with a cost of 38.1 million 7 beginning year one. Under year one of 8 this contract, Waste Management is 9 awarded 25.9 million to dispose of 10 397,000 tons of MSW and Covanta is 11 awarded 12.8 million to dispose of 12 203,000 tons of MSW. 13 The City is committed to equal 14 opportunity participation, and this 15 contract represents a significant award 16 with $15.4 million paid to MBE/WBE firms 17 in the first year of the contract. This 18 award is 39 percent of the total contract 19 and exceeds OEO goals, which established 20 ranges between 25 and 32 percent for 21 MBE/WBE firms. 22 The RFP also included 23 opportunities to meet the City's zero 24 waste and litter prevention goals. We 25 are pleased that both companies provided STREHLOW & ASSOCIATES, INC. (215) 504-4622 Committee on Streets and Services June 5, 2019 Page 122 1 6/5/19 - STREETS - BILL 181004, ETC. 2 favorable proposals to support our zero 3 waste and litter initiatives. Covanta's 4 contract committed to pay 25 cents per 5 ton for zero waste and litter reduction 6 and Waste Management's contract includes 7 an opportunity to pilot and test organic 8 waste processing into a renewable energy 9 source. These initiatives will help the 10 City meet our zero waste goal by 11 diverting waste from landfills and 12 waste-to-energy facilities and help keep 13 our city clean while reducing the amount 14 of litter on city streets. 15 There have been recent concerns 16 expressed regarding the use of WTF 17 facilities to dispose of the City's MSW. 18 Waste Management of Pennsylvania, Inc. 19 and Covanta both utilize waste-to-energy 20 technology. The Streets Department, 21 Office of Sustainability, and the Zero 22 Waste and Litter Cabinet have concluded 23 that waste-to-energy is preferable over 24 landfill for waste disposal, as 25 waste-to-energy results in fewer STREHLOW & ASSOCIATES, INC. (215) 504-4622 Committee on Streets and Services June 5, 2019 Page 123 1 6/5/19 - STREETS - BILL 181004, ETC. 2 long-term environmental impacts. We 3 believe that the proposed waste disposal 4 agreements provide the best available 5 opportunities to responsibly dispose of 6 our waste and incorporate advancements in 7 technology that will further mitigate 8 environmental issues as compared to using 9 landfills. 10 Waste-to-energy produces more 11 energy per ton than methane recovery from 12 landfill, uses less physical space for 13 waste, and waste-to-energy facilities 14 recover ferrous and non-ferrous metals 15 for recycling. For example, in 2018, the 16 Covanta Chester facility produced 711,000 17 megawatt hours of electricity, enough to 18 provide electricity for 60,000 homes. It 19 also recycled 59,000 tons of metals. 20 Waste-to-energy reduces the amount of 21 greenhouse gas emissions in the 22 atmosphere compared to landfilling by 23 producing little or no methane. A 24 landfill, even one that collects methane, 25 will release a significant amount of STREHLOW & ASSOCIATES, INC. (215) 504-4622 Committee on Streets and Services June 5, 2019 Page 124 1 6/5/19 - STREETS - BILL 181004, ETC. 2 methane from decaying organic material 3 since landfill gas management systems are 4 about 80 percent efficient.

As you well know, our nation is facing disastrous economic fallout from the necessary shutdown of business activity as a result of the COVID-19 crisis. In Philadelphia – a minority majority city with among the highest poverty levels of any major U.S. city – our small and minority-owned businesses are shuttering their doors and our people are at risk of losing everything. We need your support now more than ever before if our local economy is to survive. We respectfully ask that you bring to a vote a minimum of $908 billion for a COVID emergency relief package before the December 11th deadline and commit to the $160 billion in direct and unrestricted funding to cities like Philadelphia. We understand the many challenges you face in managing the competing interests in both chambers of our federal government, but we cannot afford to leave our local businesses, especially the hospitality industry and the thousands of people they employ without the financial safety nets to get them through the winter.

Executive Director [email protected] 215-592-1513 x112 May 11, 2021 Darrell Clarke, Council President Philadelphia City Council City Hall Philadelphia, PA 19107 RE: Fully Funding Proposed Bill 210074 (Citizens’ Police Oversight Commission) Eastern Region Office Dear Council President Clarke: PO Box 60173 Philadelphia, PA 19102 On November 3, 2020, over 500,000 Philadelphians voted to support an independent civilian 215-592-1513 T police oversight agency—one that brings about transformative change and will be sustained 215-592-1343 F across different administrations. The ACLU of Pennsylvania urges members of City Council and Mayor Jim Kenney to support the Citizens’ Police Oversight Commission (CPOC), as proposed in Bill 210074, as well as to properly fund what CPOC has been tasked to achieve. Central Region Office PO Box 11761 After the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Walter Wallace Jr., Daunte Wright, and Harrisburg, PA 17108 Adam Toledo, cities throughout the country have examined the future of policing. 717-238-2258 T 717-236-6895 F Philadelphians joined this national movement and voted for stronger oversight and public accountability. Bill 210074 answers voters’ demands and meets the moral call of this historic moment. As proposed, CPOC would have several tools at its disposal to deliver effective Western Region Office police oversight. First, the Bill grants CPOC with investigatory powers. This is a necessary PO Box 23058 function because reports show the current police-led investigatory process has rejected 85% Pittsburgh, PA 15222 of civilian complaints.1 412-681-7736 T 412-681-8707 F The Bill also grants CPOC the authority to participate in making appropriate charging decisions—a critical task since the penalty range for misconduct is dependent upon how the misconduct is charged within the Department’s disciplinary code.2 CPOC would also have the authority to function as an administrative prosecutor during disciplinary hearings.

  • A RESOLUTION Celebrating the Life and Honoring the Memory of John Chaney, As We Recognize His Groundbreaking Accomplishments In
    A RESOLUTION Celebrating the life and honoring the memory of John Chaney, as we recognize his groundbreaking accomplishments in the sport of basketball and his many contributions to our beloved City.
