AMENDMENT NO. 4
TO COMPREHENSIVE GARBAGE,RECYCLABLES,AND COMPOSTABLES
COLLECTION AGREEMENT FOR
ADDING A COMPOSTABLES PROCESSING SURCHARGE TO SERVICE RATES
This Amendment ("Amendment No. 4") is made between the City of Federal Way, a
Washington municipal corporation ("City"), and Waste Management of Washington, Inc., a
Washington corporation ("Contractor"). The City and Contractor (together "Parties"), for
valuable consideration and by mutual consent of the Parties, agree to amend the original
Agreement for Comprehensive Garbage, Recyclables, and Compostables Collection
("Agreement") dated effective March 1, 2010, as amended and restated on September 7, 2011
("Amendment No. 1") and thereafter amended by Amendment No. 2, dated January 12, 2011,
and the Covenant of Subcontractor to Comply with Franchise Agreement("Amendment No. 3"),
dated October 3, 2014, as follows:
WHEREAS, Section 6.17 of the Agreement (Right to Renegotiate/Amendment) states in
part that this Agreement may be amended, altered or modified only by a written amendment,
alteration or modification, executed by authorized representatives of the City and the Contractor;
and
WHEREAS, the Contractor's composting subcontractor ("Cedar Grove Composting")
has made certain necessary additional capital and operating cost investments; and
WHEREAS, the City's Agreement with its collection Contractor does not allow third
party benefits nor does it allow rate modifications for commodity or Compostables value
changes; and
WHEREAS, the City has determined that Cedar Grove Composting's additional
investments are reasonable and should be reimbursed through Customer rates; and
WHEREAS, the Parties have negotiated a rate adjustment to reflect a "Contamination
Sorting Fee" that Contractor, beginning on April 1, 2015, will pay to Cedar Grove Composting
for the increased costs incurred by Cedar Grove Composting for processing and removing
contaminants from collected Compostables; and
WHEREAS, this rate adjustment is specific to Compostables only, shall be continued
through the remaining term of the Agreement and any extensions, and does not anticipate or
validate any potential future rate adjustments;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, agreements and
promises herein contained, the
City and Contractor do hereby agree as follows:
1. ONE-TIME RATE ADJUSTMENT/SURCHARGE. The Parties agree that,
commencing on April 1, 2015, a monthly Surcharge (the "Surcharge") shall be assessed on
Residential, Multi-Family, and Commercial Compostables collection services by increasing the
Disposal Fee component of the monthly rate listed below by No Dollars and Thirty-Five cents
($0.35)per container (or per container pickup if collection is more frequent than once per week).
Page 1 of 3
This rate adjustment shall take effect on April 1, 2015, at which time the Disposal Fee portion of
the following Compostables collection rates shall be adjusted as follows:
Monthly
2015 Disposal Disposal Fee
Monthly Fee w/o with
Surcharge Surcharge Surcharge
Yard/Food Waste Service
Weekly 1-96 Gallon Cart(Basic Subscription Service) $0.35 $1.23 $1.58

Curbside 1-35 Gallon Cart $0.35 $0.45 $0.80

Family& 1-96 Gallon Cart,weekly $0.35 $1.23 $1.58
Commercial
1-96 Gallon Cart,twice weekly $0.70 $2.46 $3.16
2. DISPENSATION OF SURCHARGE AND REPORT OF PAYMENT. The
Parties agree that the Surcharge amounts collected under the terms of this Amendment are
intended to fully compensate Cedar Grove Composting for the Contamination Sorting Fee
attributable to the Compostables collected under the terms of the Agreement. The Parties
acknowledge, however, that the Surcharge reflects the Parties' reasonable best efforts to allocate
a tonnage-based Contamination Sorting Fee on a container-by-container basis. Beginning April
1, 2016, only upon the City's request, the Contractor shall submit to the City, a record of
monthly payments made to Cedar Grove Composting for the Contamination Sorting Fee
attributable to Compostables collected within the City for the preceding 12-month period.
3. TERMINATION. The Parties agree that if Cedar Grove Composting is no longer the
primary processor of Compostable materials collected under the terms of this Agreement, this
Amendment shall be null and void, and the monthly Disposal Fees specified in Section 1 above
shall be reduced by the amount of the Surcharge; provided, however, that the Contractor shall
retain all rights under Section 3.3.3.
4. GENERAL PROVISIONS. All other terms and provisions of the Agreement,
together with any prior amendments thereto, not modified by this Amendment, shall remain in
full force and effect. Any and all acts done by either Party consistent with the authority of the
Agreement, together with any prior amendments thereto, after the previous expiration date and
prior to the effective date of this Amendment, is hereby ratified as having been performed under
the Agreement, as modified by any prior amendments, as it existed prior to this Amendment. The
provisions of Section 6.17 of the Agreement shall apply to and govern this Amendment. The
parties whose names appear below swear under penalty of perjury that they are authorized to
enter into this Amendment, which is binding on the Parties of this Amendment.

make-up collection will be made on the next possible day. In these cases,
the Contractor shall not wait for the regularly scheduled collection day the
following week to service that area. In the event of successive service

sites using driver-staffed Drop-Box Containers or other suitable equipment,
with no extra charge assessed for such temporary service.
The Contractor and City will develop and implement a weather-related
operations & communications protocol to more specifically addre�s
management of service disruptions. This protocol will detail pre-event and
post-event inclement weather designation and recovery plans, as well as
identifying potential temporary collection sites. The inclement
weather/disruption in service requirements in the preceding paragraphs
may be changed upon mutual written agreement of the Contractor and City
at any time during the term of this Contract to better serve Customers.

media outlets for Contractor announcements at its discretion. The
Contractor shall also notify The Federal Way Mirror newspaper when the
duration of an inclement weather event is long enough to warrant notice in
that publication. The Contractor shall also notify the Federal Way Mirror
newspaper when the inclement weather lasts for four days or more and

Attachment C
Rate Modification Examples
The collection and disposal components of the Customer charges listed in Attachment B will be
adjusted separately, as appropriate. The collection component of Customer charges will be
adjusted annually, pursuant to this Section and as described below. The disposal component of
the Customer charges listed in Attachment B will be adjusted only if the City receives
notification from the County of a pending disposal fee adjustment, and will not become effective
until the new disposal charges become effective and are actually charged to the Contractor.
Formulas for both collection and disposal rate adjustxnents are provided as follows:
Collection Component Adjustment
The collection component listed in Attachment B will be increased or deereased by the
amount of the GPI change:
NCC = PCC x 1+ �CPI — oCPl
� oCPl
Where NCC = The new collection chaxge component of the customer
rate for a particular servi�e level; and
PCC' = The previous collection charge component of the
Customer rate for a particular service level; and
nCPI = The most recent August CPI value; and
oCPI = The CPI value used for the previous rate adjustment or, in
the case of the first contract adjustment, the CPI �alue
reported at the end of August 201U.
Disposal Component Adjustment
In the case of a disposal fee modification at County disposal facilities, the disposal
companent of each service level will be adjusted as follows:
Step 1:
A=ODCx�
OTF
Step 2:
NDC = A+[(A — ODC) x CETR]
Where NDC = The new disposal charge component of the customer rate
for a particular service level; and
City of FederaI Way
Attachments September 2011
NTF = The new disposal fee, dollars per ton; and
ODC = The old disposal charge component of the customer rate
for a particular service level;
OTF = The old disposal fee, dollars per ton; and
A = Pre-excise tax adjusted disposal component; and
CETR = Current excise tax rate (the current State excise tax rate;
0.015 used for this example).
For example, using the initial one 32-gallon can rate of $15.09 per month: if the
previous CPI is 143.2, the new CPI is 1443 and the disposal fee will increase
from $95 to $145 per ton starting on March 1, 2011, the old disposal component
is $3.79, and the State Excise Tax rate is 0.015, the March 2011 Customer charge
for one 32-gallon can per week Residential Curbside service would be:
(144.3 —143.2)
New Collection Component =$11.30 x[1 + 143.2 �-$11.39
New Dis�osal Component = L3.79_x_�105 / 95�]�lus excise tax
--_ __ _ _ ___ ___ _.
adjustment of $0.01 = $4.20
Thus, the new Customer charge for one 32-gallon can per week Residential
Curbside service will be $11.39 plus $4.20, equaling $15.59.
Monthly City Fee Adjustment
T'he monthly City administrative fee will be adjusted in a similar format to the collection
component adjustment described above.
For Example:
New Monthly City Fee =$22,720.00 x 1.0768 =$24,464.90

Attachment C
Rate Modification Examples
The collection and disposal components of the Customer charges listed in Attachment B will be
adjusted separately, as appropriate. The collection component of Customer charges will be
adjusted annually, pursuant to this Section and as described below. The disposal component of
the Customer charges listed in Attachment B will be adjusted only if the City receives
notification from the County of a pending disposal fee adjustment, and will not become effective
until the new disposal charges become effective and are actually charged to the Contractor.
Formulas for both collection and disposal rate adjustments are provided as follows:
Collection Component Adjustment
The coliection component listed in Attachment B will be increased or decreased by the
amount of the CPI change:
NCC = PCC x 1+ nCPl — oCPl
oCPI
Where NCC = The new collection charge component of the customer
rate for a particular service level; and
PCC = The previous collection charge component of the
Customer rate for a particular service level; and
nCPI = The most recent August CPI value; and
oCPI = The CPI value used for the previous rate adjustment or, in
the case of the first contract adjustment, the CPI value
reported at the end of August 2010.
Disposal Component Adjustment
In the case of a disposal fee modification at County disposal facilities, the disposal
component of each service level will be adjusted as follows:
Step 1:
A = ODC x NTF
OTF
Step 2:
NDC=A+[(A—ODC)xCETR]
Where NDC = The new disposal charge component of the customer rate
for a particular service level; and
City of Federal Way
Attachments December 20Q9
NTF = The new disposal fee, dollars per ton; and
ODC = The old disposal charge component of the customer rate
for a particular service level;
OTF = The old disposal fee, dollars per ton; and
A = Pre-excise tax adjusted disposal component; and
CETR = Current excise tax rate (the current State excise t� rate;
0.015 used for this example).
For example, using the initial one 32-gallon can rate of $15.09 per month: if the
previous CPI is 143.2, the new CPI is 144.3 and the disposal fee will increase
from $95 to $105 per ton starting on March 1, 201 l, the old disposal component is
$3.79, and the State Excise Tax rate is 0.015, the March 2011 Customer charge
for one 32-gallon can per week Residential Curbside service would be:
New Collection Component = $11.30 x [1 + �1443 —143.2) � _ $11.39
143.2
New Disposal Component =[3.79 x(1 OS / 95)] plus excise tax
adjustment of $0.01 = $4.20
Thus, the new Customer charge for one 32-gallon can per week Residential
Curbside service will be $11.39 plus $4.20, equaling $15.59.
Monthly City Fee Adjustment
The monthly City administrative fee will be adjusted in a similar format to the collection
component adjustment described above.
For Example:
New Monthly City Fee =$22,720.00 x 1.0768 =$24,464.90
