TO: The Honorable Chair and Trustees
Owasso Public Works Authority (OPWA)
FROM: Roger Stevens, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Refuse Disposal Agreement
DATE: September 1, 2022
BACKGROUND:
In September of 2014, the OPWA Trustees approved an agreement for solid waste disposal with
Covanta Tulsa Renewable Energy, LLC utilizing the City of Tulsa's approved contract rate
structure.
In August of 2021, Tulsa Authority for Recovery of Energy (TARE) notified the OPWA that EQT
Infrastructure, an investment company from Sweden, was in the process of buying Covanta. In
November 2021, this acquisition became official. With the existing contract set to expire on June
30, 2022, TARE began meeting with the new ownership of Covanta. Covanta informed the TARE
of their intent to keep the facility operating; however, due to profit margins and operating issues
due to dilapidated equipment, disposal fees would need to be increased. Additionally,
Covanta would be seeking to increase the volume of manufactured waste which would
decrease the volume of municipal solid waste Covanta could process.
In March of 2022, TARE issued a Request for Proposal for Disposal of Solid Waste with Energy and
or Materials Recovery. Covanta being the only company that could meet the specified
requirements in this region, submitted a proposal on May 26, 2022. The proposal included
increasing disposal fees from $12.11 per ton to $25.00 per ton. As a result of the large price
increase in the disposal fee, below average customer service, and uncertainties of the new
business model Covanta is striving to operate within, staff began evaluating other disposal
alternatives.
ANALYSIS /AGREEMENT:
Staff analyzed three potential disposal sites. The disposal sites evaluated were North Tulsa Solid
Waste, Tulsa Recycling and Transfer Station, and Waste Management (Quarry Landfill).
Waste Management quoted the most economical disposal fee at $24.00 per ton ( "Base Rate ")
with the required Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality Solid Waste Fee of $1.25 per
ton for a total disposal cost of $25.25 per ton. In addition, the base rate will increase based on
the Consumer Price Index (CPI) beginning on July 1, 2023. For the past seven years, the CPI has
ranged from 1.4% to 3.43 %.
Staff is proposing to enter into a ten -year agreement with Waste Management, with the option
to terminate the agreement by providing written notice to the other party three years prior to
the date of termination.
FUNDING:
Funding for solid waste disposal is included the FY 2023 Refuse Division Budget.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of an agreement with Waste Management of Oklahoma, Inc. of
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, for disposal of solid waste and authorization to execute the
necessary documents.
