Notes/Other The contractor, DRC Emergency Services, LLC, provided emergency brush and bulk debris services for the City of Austin, which comprised of hauling and disposal of brush and bulk debris removal from public property and public right-of-way (ROW) within the City limits. The work consisted of all labor, equipment, fuel, and miscellaneous costs necessary to clear, remove, load, and haul debris from public ROW areas to debris management sites and approved landfills.

The agreements require the vendors to receive collected materials intended for recycling and to operate a materials recovery facility for the purposes of accepting, sorting, processing, and marketing the City’s collected material. Under the terms of the current agreements, Balcones receives 60% of the City’s collected material on an annual basis while Texas Disposal Systems receives 40%. Processing cost per ton is established during the recycling contract reset period that occurs every five years. The City receives revenue and pays processing costs to both vendors. The basis for revenue is the composition percentage of each class of recyclable material. This is determined during semi-annual composition studies that occur at each vendor’s facility. Prior to the latest contract reset that occurred in October 2021 both vendors had the same revenue share formula. However, during that reset period Balcones Resources agreed to a new revenue share formula. The following is each vendors' current revenue share formula: Texas Disposal Systems: (Revenue Percent x Value of Recyclable Material) - Processing Fee Balcones Resources: (Gross Value of Recyclable Material - Processing Fee) x Revenue Percent Note: Colors associated with each vendor are consistent throughout the report. Balcones amounts are represented by dark blue. TDS amounts are represented by light blue. Colors related to prior periods within charts are muted.
