SOLID WASTE RATE STUDY AND FINANCIAL PLAN

The County of Sacramento Department of Waste Management and Recycling (DWMR) is requesting proposals from qualified Consultants/Firms to conduct a comprehensive review of its solid waste rates and rate structure, produce a medium-term rate forecast and set up a long-range financial planning model for its Solid Waste Enterprise Fund. The intent of the study is to obtain an independent assessment and evaluation of the present financial status of DWMR’s Solid Waste Enterprise Fund and recommend rates that will adequately fund DWMR’s future operational, capital, and debt service needs while maintaining adequate reserve balances. The selected Consultant will be responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable California State Statutes.

Sacramento County (County) is located on the northern end of California’s central valley region. The County began its residential waste collection program in the unincorporated areas in 1968. DWMR, within the County’s Community Services Agency, manages the County’s Solid Waste Enterprise Fund.
