EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Napa-Vallejo Waste Management Authority (NVWMA) is requesting approval of a contract extension R3 Consulting Group, Inc. Previously, NVWMA staff hired R3 Consulting Group to aid the Authority in reviewing scope of services, contract negotiations with Northern Recycling Operations and Waste Services (NROWS) and conduct a rates and services survey to determine appropriate gate fees at Devlin Road Transfer Station. Specifically, to determine the appropriate rate to charge for MSW, clean concrete, clean dirt and private vehicle customers. R3 Consulting Group is very familiar with solid waste practices in the NVWMA service area.
The request is to increase appropriations in FY 2026-27 by $20,000 to cover costs to study and determine proper tipping fees for special items, such as tires, mattresses, appliances, boats and other “non-disposal” material at the Devlin Road Transfer Station.
