How do you currently get your weights for the material? <br />Currently the material is bulked and packaged at our facility. Weights are estimated at our facility <br />and then then the current contractor weighs by material type back at their own facility and invoices <br />us from those weights. We like to estimate the weights from the CESQGs when they come in <br />because we like to keep track of how much of our budget is going toward that specific part of the <br />program. Historically, each participant's material was weighed at our facility but it took too much <br />time and would slow the operations. We are open to material be weighed at our facility before being <br />shipped out or being weighed at the contractor's facility with the notion that material weights will be <br />randomly checked throughout the term of the contract to ensure accuracy. It is important .to continue, <br />give us weights by material for State reporting and we will want the bulk weights each month with <br />the invoice. We will continue to want the CESQGs weighed separately so we can continue to use <br />those numbers for budgeting purposes. <br />8. How do we know when we need one or two site attendants? <br />The agreement will be for one site attendant at both locations. If you anticipate busy times <br />throughout the year (possibly some Saturdays in the Spring and summer) the County and <br />Contractor can discuss what is needed and come to an agreement for when the extra site <br />attendant is needed. Typical collection days throughout the year will be one site attendant at each <br />location. The County does not know the use of the Walnut Grove site so the Contractor and <br />County will need to be flexible and work together to find the best way to staff the site <br />appropriately to avoid traffic back -ups and unsafe working conditions. <br />9. What is the current hourly rate being charged for the staffing of the HHW collection facility? <br />We currently pay a flat rate of $ 1,750 per month for one attendant. <br />10. The RFP is not clear as to the disposition of used oil, antifreeze and batteries. Will the <br />attendant be managing the collection of these materials? <br />Currently we handle the following materials that the HHW vendor will not be responsible for <br />handling. Though the site attendant will not be responsible for handling these materials, we expect <br />the site attendant to know and understand where those items go and work closely with the County <br />and citizens to help inform and point them in the right direction <br />• Dry-cell batteries <br />• Lead acid batteries <br />• Used motor oil <br />• Oil filters <br />• Antifreeze <br />• Helium tanks <br />• Propane tanks (20 and 30 lb tanks only) <br />• LCMs <br />• Waste vegetable oil <br />Page 2 of 5 <br />
