DocuSign Envelope ID: 7796CD94- 342E- 40D0- B7C3- A2B604F926B4 <br />to discuss our business plans and any loans that we may need in order to grow the business. <br />Composting is considered a necessary and survivable business plan for changing economics and <br />we expect to continue being able to obtain loans when absolutely needed to expand the ability to <br />compost within central North Carolina. See attached insurance coverage. <br />12.1,16 Alternative Proposals optiona) <br />Program management fee designed to provide superior support and have dedicated resources <br />towards developing the success of the program as a whole and work more direct with waste <br />generators as well as the broader community. Replaces starred items in County's education and <br />outreach responsibilities, helping the county with these responsibilities as outlined in section 3.2. <br />Goal for this alternative proposal is to help the County with the education and outreach <br />responsibilities as outlined in the R.IiP which will grow as we meet the ambitious growth targets <br />of the County's program. At any time the County may assist with these items, however we feel <br />the County's role in these items will be one of oversight. These items include. <br />• Presenting educational training video to new participants; <br />• Follow up with participants if contamination does not decrease after initial attempts; <br />• Establish a forward- moving plan for outreach of program expansion including listing <br />food scrap generating businesses and establishing campaigns to expand within the <br />existing business community. <br />• Create education and marketing campaigns that broadly share and promote the total value <br />of composting <br />• Workshops and engagement opportunities for the public <br />Both companies desire to provide a higher level of detailed education to the community to <br />engage composting at a full circle level, devoting more resources and employees. We propose a <br />performance - leased funding model where we receive $19 -$49 per month per waste generator <br />recruited to the program. This would be a vastly expanded education and outreach initiative <br />provided by the Contractor and Subcontractor in an effort to alleviate significant education and <br />outreach efforts needed by County employees within the expansion period and beyond, These <br />additional funds would support a lead Education and Outreach coordinator for the entire program <br />to work with the County's staff and resources to expand awareness and appreciation for <br />composting. <br />This fee replaces some responsibilities of County employees and is adjustable depending on the <br />size and type of the waste generator. Contractor and Subcontractor can provide this full- scale, <br />multi- approach commitment to composting education and outreach within Orange County at a <br />rapid rate. Working together in this manner, Brooks Contractor and CornpostNow can provide <br />this level of success in the form of overall waste reduction and diversion of organics and would <br />help to get the recycling stream correct with this level of assistance. This would also allow both <br />Contractor and Subcontractor to devote resources to local -level meetings such as town halls, <br />schools, and community garden clubs. <br />
