When expansion is needed, Contractor would ask the Subcontractor to be involved in all meetings and ideas moving forward. At this time, Contractor and Subcontractor plan to work in collaboration to add all new participants in an efficient and timely manner and believe that expansion can be done relatively quickly. Expansion involving large generators requiring dumpsters or several carts that will contain heavy waste will be collected by the Contractor, and smaller generators (such as coffee shops, small restaurants and other food service businesses) will be handled by the subcontractor. Previous discussion between Contractor and Subcontractor indicate that large generators and a significant number of small generators can be added prior to any work involving a consolidation area, but we realize that such an area would provide for higher efficiencies for collections as well as additional benefit for the community. A consolidation area will be valuable in the coming ears when many participants have been added and we look to further expand the program. An initial contract term of 10 years would boost the capacity of Contractor and Subcontractor to assist in the design and implementation of a consolidation facility. Moving forward, all materials will be composted at Brooks Compost Facility in Goldston, unless discussions with the County indicate another method would be better suited for the waste stream or a fraction of the waste stream. Ideas could include the subcontractor separating out small amounts of "clean" produce waste such as from a juice bar to transport to a farm or composting education facility located within Orange County. Contractor and Subcontractor shall remain open to the needs of the County as directed by the County, and shall do everything possible to meet and exceed requirements and collaborate on potential ideas as seen fit by the County as the program grows, If the growth of the program shall meet larger needs, such as a composting facility located within Orange County to process part or all of the waste stream, Contractor and Subcontractor shall continue with discussions and ideas on how to achieve this goal. For all participants, the collection containers serviced by the Contractor shall be rinsed on -site with all wash water contained in the collection vehicle (with the exception of occasional water over spray while rinsing) and all containers serviced by the subcontractor shall be tipped and rinsed off site in an exchange process. ALL carts that might be rolled indoors shall be serviced by the Subcontractor to maintain a higher standard of cleanliness needed for sanitation and health inspection reasons. During periods of expansion, if at all possible Orange County Health Inspectors should be included in discussions. Any obstacles inspectors may see going forward shall be immediately addressed by the Contractor, Subcontractor, and County to satisfy the health needs of businesses, employees, and consumers within change County. All "special events" will be handled by either the Contactor or Subcontractor, depending on the size and location and any additional needs of service that may arise. Contractor and Subcontractor shall request as much advance notice as possible of all events and be assigned a contact for the event (if not a County employee already working with us). All work by either contractor shall meet timely delivery of needed materials (including compostable service ware approved by Brooks Compost Facility) and containers, as well as timely collections after the event is finished. At the end of each month with the County's invoice, reports shall be provided that includes data on volume and weight from each participant. At the beginning of collection and expansion, an excel spreadsheet should suffice for this. As the program grows, more detailed spreadsheets may be required that separate generator type in order for the County to evaluate performance and investment in areas of expansion.
