1 The WDA will provide or nominate a Delivery Point within the area of each WCA sufficient for the reasonable needs of the WCA and shall secure to each WCA adequate access to the local Delivery Point. For clarification, the Delivery Point for any WCA shall be the location which is from time to time notified by the Authority to the WCA as the Delivery Point for that WCA.
[Editorial Note - individual authorities will have different arrangements for delivery of waste. In some areas, WCAs will accept responsibility, with or without payment, for delivery of waste to remote sites. In others, the WDA will provide local delivery points. Accordingly, this provison will need to be amended to local circumstances.]
2 During the procurement of the Facility, the WDA will require bidders to make proposals for the provision of Contingency Delivery Points.
3 The WDA will provide adequate reception facilities and personnel at the Delivery Points to receive the WCAs' vehicles.
4 The WDA has and will retain the responsibility for the disposal of Municipal Waste delivered to the Delivery Points or HWRCs and for the provision and maintenance of HWRCs within its authority boundary.
5 The WDA will procure a Facility with the aim of avoiding any LATS liabilities and to meet the targets in the Waste Strategy for England 2007 for landfill for each of the key years before 2020. The WDA will develop this Facility in accordance with best value obligations relevant to the costs and liabilities of the WDA and reasonably those of the WCA.
6 The WDA shall have overall control of but shall continue to consult the WCA in respect of the following matters:
• The development of the facility requirements such as but not limited to the type of plant, capacity, inputs, tolerances etc.;
• the content of the specification for the Facility, including the recycling and recovery targets for the Facility and for the Project Agreement; and
• the location of each Delivery Point, required turnaround times at Delivery Points and the content of any standards relating to the Delivery Points.
[Editorial Note - Authorities may wish to set out responsibilities in relation to other waste streams (for example, Dry Recyclable Waste, Green Waste).]
7 Delivery of Waste to the Facilities
Prior to any new Facility opening and if new systems of working are instigated at any time by the WCA, the WCA and the WDA shall agree a waste delivery schedule in order to facilitate a managed flow of waste to each Delivery Point and to the new Facility. The Parties shall seek to agree this waste delivery Schedule with any neighbouring WCAs and any third parties who will deliver waste to the Facility.
