19. In the tonnage by material data on page 7 you list paint as a single category. Does this include both latex <br />and oil based paint or only oil based paint? What changes if any are anticipated in the paint collection policy? <br />The line in the table labeled "paint" is only latex paint. We do not anticipate any changes in our <br />paint policy. I should note that citizens come through, informally, and if we have some paint still <br />sitting around, and they want it, we will give that paint to them after they sign a form waiving <br />liability. This is very informal and does not happen often. The numbers that you see in this table to <br />not include some of the paint we have given away to citizens. We do not sit paint aside to save <br />specifically for citizens. <br />20. Will the contractor be required to provide any equipment such as a fork lift, trailers, storage facility etc? <br />Contractor will not be "required" to provide any of those items. There will be proper storage at <br />both locations, we may be able to provide a forklift at 1514 Eubanks Road when collection is taking <br />place, we may also be able to provide a skid -steer with forks at the Walnut Grove facility, but it will <br />not be guaranteed at any given time, that equipment will be being used for other applications <br />throughout the day. Contractor will need to provide any other tools or equipment that is needed <br />to complete the duties to properly collect, process, and haul material safely. Extra trailers or <br />equipment that the contractor wishes to store at the facility may be negotiated. <br />21. Will the county provide rest room facilities, trash collection, office space, phone and or electrical service? <br />County provides port -a john, trash collection, office space with electric, phone and possible <br />internet at'1514 Eubanks Road. Similar facilities and services will be provided at the Walnut Grove <br />location. <br />22. No sizes were identified for the cylinders; should we price by size? Do you want pricing for other <br />common cylinders such as propane, fire extinguishers, oxygen, acetylene or nitrogen? <br />We are only referring to Freon Cylinders for different pricing and -you can price them by weight or <br />size or however you see best fit. We only get about 5 Freon Cylinders per year. We handle all <br />propane tanks ourselves. If you cannot provide fire extinguishers, oxygen tanks, acetylene or <br />nitrogen under the general per pound pricing, explain the pricing structure that you would need to <br />handle it.. <br />23.

Will the county allow the contractor to leave a 40foot van type trailer on site to provide additional <br />storage for the waste being generated during the collections? <br />It is possible to store extra material on the property if needed however, the permit only allows for <br />material to be stored at our facility for a maximum of a year, however, we prefer that material is <br />not stored for more than a month maximum. We prefer this for safety reasons and also to properly <br />track monthly data. The storage requirements under our permit are as follows: <br />The storage building at the Orange County Permanent HHW Collection Facility is designed to <br />accommodate temporary accumulation of several classes of hazardous materials. All. accumulation <br />time limits and storage requirements shall apply to both HHW and CESQG wastes.
