City of Inglewood

Contract Monitoring Service (2005-07)

Project Description

In December 2004, the City of Inglewood entered into an exclusive franchise agreement (Agreement) for solid waste collection services that HF&H assisted the City in negotiating.  The new agreement included several new recycling requirements and a change in the roll-off billing rate structure. The City needed to verify that the hauler was complying with the new requirements and had correctly adjusted its billing practices.

HF&H Solution

After the contract had been in place for a year, HF&H:

• Reviewed the accuracy of the hauler’s roll-off billing;
• Reviewed the rate adjustment request;
• Verified the accuracy of tonnage reported as mixed waste processed, sent for transformation, otherwise diverted and disposed;
• Confirmed whether the required mixed waste processing and transformation levels were achieved as required by contract;
• Verified that required commercial customer site visits were completed; and,
• Verified whether routes were exclusive to Inglewood customers.
