RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors:

SUMMARY:
The Probation Department recommends approval of the proposed non-standard Agreement with Encore Oils, LLC dba SeQuential for no cost removal of used cooking oil from the Monterey County Youth Center for recycling into environmentally friendly biodiesel.
DISCUSSION:
The Probation Department operates kitchen facilities at the Youth Center to provide meals to residents and to the detained youth at the County Juvenile Hall. Disposal of used cooking oil by a qualified contractor is necessary and required as it is considered a hazardous waste; improper disposal can also result in sewer line overflows/blockages, resulting in costly repairs. There are few companies available in this area that provide this service. Encore Oils, LLC dba SeQuential will provide for the safe removal and disposal at no cost to the County
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The Office of the County Counsel-Risk Management has reviewed the Agreement as to form and legality making modifications and striking the contractor’s language under the following provisions: 1) client duties and responsibilities by adding mutual indemnification and insurance provisions; 2) term by removing auto renewal and specifying a five (5) year term; 3) rates and payment by adding due consideration; 4) attorney fees by striking all language; 5) notices by removing facsimile option; and 6) miscellaneous by removing email option and requiring written original signatures. The Auditor-Controller has reviewed and approved as to payment provisions.
FINANCING:
There is no cost to the County General Fund with this recommended action.
