2 <br /> Details to this revised service expansion plan include notifying all 7,000 residences of this new service <br /> option. While the initial deployment of approximately 8,200 rural roll carts to the current rural <br /> curbside service area went very smoothly, all these residences had access to the current collection <br /> program and were utilizing the service in 18-gallon bins for many years. As such, not as much <br /> education and outreach to these customers was required regarding basic recycling practices. <br /> Consequently, as the 7,000 new residences have never received curbside service from the County <br /> before, a more intense education and outreach plan will need to be developed to ensure residents are <br /> properly notified and understand the new service available to them. This may include more <br /> advertising, community outreach to rural civic and religious organizations and other conventional or <br /> non-conventional modes of communication. <br /> Another important detail includes the purchase and delivery of roll carts and bins to the new service <br /> area. Proposed in the FY 15/16 Solid Waste Capital Budget was the financing of 1,750 roll carts at <br /> $54/each which were planned to be delivered by in-house crews and temporary labor. Also, due to the <br /> popularity of the roll carts in the current rural curbside recycling service area, an additional 600 carts <br /> have been ordered and delivered since the initial deployment of carts in February 2015. As a result of <br /> this unexpected higher demand for a roll cart, the 1,750 carts planned for financing in this fiscal year <br /> for the new service area may be a low estimate, and ordering 2,000 roll carts may be more prudent. In <br /> addition, as this estimate only included servicing approximately 3,500 residences, ordering a total of <br /> approximately 4,000 roll carts and adding a six dollar delivery charge (to be delivered by the <br /> contractor) would be more operationally feasible and efficient. In house crews and temporary labor <br /> could continue the planned delivery of 18-gallon bins to those residences who request to recycling in <br /> this manner. <br /> Below is a projected cost estimate from the FY 15/16 budgeted amount to fund and implement this <br /> new expansion plan and the original phase II implementation savings estimate. Total estimated cost <br /> savings versus original preliminary estimates (including newly estimated additional 500 roll carts) _ <br /> $341,761 (not including recurring savings of fuel/maintenance/etc. from not acquiring second truck). <br /> FY 15/16 FY 17/18 SAVINGS FROM <br /> BUDGETED FY 15/16 REVISED ORIGINAL REVISED <br /> IMPLEMENTATION IMPLEMENTATION IMPLEMENTATION IMPLEMENTATION <br /> –PHASE I EXPENDITURES -PHASE II PLAN <br /> Collector Operator $22,785 $7,600 $24,175 ($39,360) <br /> Curbside Recycling Truck $310,090 $304,189 $327,000 ($332,901) <br /> 1,750 Roll Carts($54/ea)- $94,500 $108,000 <br /> 4,000 Roll Carts($58.50/ea)- $234,000 $31,500 <br /> 18-gal bins(Sufficient Stock) NA <br /> 2,000 extra 18-gal bins($7/ea) $14,000 $15,000 ($1,000) <br /> Education and Outreach $23,350 $45,350 $22,000 0 <br /> TOTAL $450,725 $605,139 $496,175 —&—($341?761) <br />
