Several deliverables from this meeting include the following: <br /> • Meet with Department staff at the start of the project to review the project scope, <br /> schedule,project team, and project management approach. SCS will prepare a <br /> summary memorandum of the discussion from the kickoff meeting. <br /> • Establish a project website using Central Desktop, which is a secure, collaborative <br /> workspace that can be accessed by SCS and County personnel from any internet- <br /> connected computer or mobile device. Central Desktop is a web-based project file <br /> sharing/collaboration site that allows for the storage and dissemination of project <br /> information such as background information,project reports, and other deliverables, <br /> and project management such as invoices,progress reports, and schedule updates. <br /> • Obtain from the Department and review key background financial documents <br /> associated with the history of solid waste management in the County and a copy of <br /> the County's Schedule of Revenues and Expenditures for the Solid Waste Enterprise <br /> Fund. <br /> • SCS will gather additional current information on the Department's solid waste <br /> facilities and operations as required to supplement the information maintained in <br /> SCS' existing project files. The additional information will be provided by both <br /> public agencies and private sector service providers (refer to Exhibit 3). This <br /> information and data will be gathered during onsite interviews of facility operators <br /> and agency managers and supplemented by email surveys and research of published <br /> sources of information. The objective of Task 1 is to provide a baseline of <br /> information for Tasks 2 and 3. <br /> Deliverables for Task 1 <br /> Based on our extensive solid waste industry experience, we will evaluate current collection, <br /> landfill, and recycling operations and other non-landfill programs in light of trends and proposed <br /> changes. We will use pertinent demographic data, solid waste generation statistics, and financial <br /> data in order to create an Orange County Pro Forma Financial Model, which can serve as the <br /> basis of the cost impact analysis of alternative waste management scenarios under Optional Task <br /> 5. Notes from the meeting, as well as an overview of the Pro Forma Model approach, will be <br /> summarized in a Task 1 Interim Report and distributed for review and approval. <br /> 6 <br />
