KCI continually strives to remain on the <br /> leading edge of sustainability and environmental stewardship. <br /> Just a few of the things that set us apart from other firms are highlighted in this letter but are more fully <br /> discussed in our proposal. <br /> r Unparalleled Project Team <br /> KCI's project team has unparalleled expertise in conducting composition studies. Project Manager <br /> Robin Mitchell has managed nearly all characterization studies conducted by our firm during the <br /> past 18 years and has used RCS results to develop revenue-sharing formulas in recyclables <br /> processing contracts. Senior Consultant Peter Engel has extensive experience working with <br /> recyclables processing technologies, materials recovery facility(MRF) development, and recycling <br /> markets.This enables him to assist in developing RCS protocols that align with the capabilities of <br /> state-of-the-art MRFs. Field Supervisor Ryan Graunke has overseen numerous composition studies <br /> at KCI. We work seamlessly together as a team. In just the past 5 years,we have successfully <br /> completed over 50 sorting events. <br /> Our project team members have advanced degrees in environmental science, resource <br /> management, business administration, and marketing, as well as hands-on experience in collection <br /> and processing operations. We not only understand the accuracy required in performing RCSs, but <br /> also how to utilize the resulting information for recyclables processing contracts and negotiations. <br /> 14620 N.
