<br />Current Program
<br />1. What types of containers are being used at each specific participant location currently?
<br />a. Each location utilizes predominantly- 65 gallon carts, some sites use some 35 or 40 gallon carts,
<br />where the smallest site has just one (1) cart, and the largest with fourteen (14). In the past, larger
<br />participants have requested and received 2 yard and 4 yard dumpsters. It is the expectation that
<br />dumpsters be provided upon request.
<br />2. The bid states that there are special events needing to be serviced.
<br />a. What events were serviced In 20177
<br />i. 30 events of varying size collected food waste
<br />b. What were the service levels for those events, # of carts/containers, dates of pickups?
<br />i. Currently: Currently all events are handled and coordinated internally with the Contractor
<br />providing extra carts ahead of the event (1 to 10 carts) and collection from the County's main
<br />site after the event ends. The County's main site keeps an inventory of eight (8) carts for
<br />events and collections throughout the County and the materials are collected once a week
<br />from the main location. The majority of the events will continue in this manner. Tonnage from
<br />events ranges from one hundred (100) pounds to over three (3) tons depending on the
<br />event.
<br />ii. Proposed: The Contractor would be responsible for cart drop-off, pickup, and collection at
<br />each event upon request. The majority of events would require drop -off and pickup from the
<br />County's main location (1514 Eubanks Road). However, it is the intent with at least the
<br />biggest five events (Hog Day, Farm -to -Fork, Farm Terravita and its associated events, and
<br />Food Truck Rodeo's), that the Contractor drop off carts directly at the eventsite, as well as
<br />collect directly at the event site following the conclusion of the event. Dates, times and
<br />locations of pickups would be communicated to the contractor by the County at minimum,
<br />two (2) weeks prior to each event.

<br />b. Compost Delivery; $10 per yard, $3.50 per mile delivery fee
<br />5. How werespecial events priced for the current program?
