DRAFT June 15, 2021 | Page 28 THE CITY OF PLEASANTON SB 1383 ACTION PLAN 2021 ─ 2025 3.3 Product Procurement It is also recommended that the City explore the option of procuring electricity from biomass from East Bay Community Energy. While this amount would likely not be enough on its own to fulfill the SB 1383 procurement target, it would contribute toward the City’s target. City staff has had preliminary meetings with StopWaste regarding procurement strategies. It is recommended that the City continue its discussions with StopWaste regarding potential regional approaches to procurement that would support the City in meeting its target. The City is also required to procure recycled-content paper products and printing and writing paper derived from recycled content in accordance with Sections 22150 through 22154 of the Public Contracts Code. These statutes direct local governments to give preference to suppliers of recycled products when quality is equal to, or greater than, non-recycled items and when cost is less than or equal to non-recycled items. Vendors will need to certify a minimum percentage of post-consumer material in their offered products, among other requirements. Documentation and records of purchases will need to be maintained in the City’s implementation record. Finally, the City will need to develop an EPPP in order to successfully meet the program requirements. For further information on the required changes, please reference Section 3.3.2 below. 3.3.2 State SB 1383 Requirements for Jurisdictions • Commencing January 1, 2022, a jurisdiction shall annually procure a quantity of recovered organic waste products that meets or exceeds its current annual recovered organic waste product procurement target as determined by article 12 (§18993.1.a). • Beginning on or before January 1, 2022 (and every five years thereafter) the annual recovered organic waste product procurement target will be calculated based upon multiplying the per capita procurement target by the jurisdiction population where (§18993.1.b): o Per capita procurement target = 0.08 tons of organic waste per California resident per year (§18993.1.b.1). o Jurisdiction population equals the number of residents in a jurisdiction, using the most recent annual data reported by the California Department of Finance (§18993.1.b.2). • A jurisdiction shall comply with the product procurement target by directly procuring recovered organic waste products for use or giveaway and/or requiring, through a written contract or agreement, that a direct service provider to the jurisdiction procure recovered organic waste products and provide written documentation of such procurement to the jurisdiction (§18993.1.e.1 and §18993.1.e.2). • For the purposes of SB 1383 Article 12, the recovered organic waste products that a jurisdiction may procure to comply with article 12 are (§18993.1.f): o Compost from a compostable material handling operation, facility, or a large volume in-vessel digestion facility. o RNG used for fuel, electricity, or heating applications. o Electricity from biomass conversion.
