DocuSign Envelope ID:60890E67-6F1D-48BF-9BD4-7E57F52CDE30 <br /> Orange County,North Carolina <br /> RFP#5253 for Recycling Composition Study <br /> Section 2:Statement of Understanding <br /> Task 4 - Analyze Data and Prepare RCS Report <br /> KCI will analyze the RCS data for each of the 11 programs, as well as for the recycling stream overall, and <br /> report results to the County. <br /> Activities: <br /> 1. Analyze data from the RCS to calculate the average percentage by weight of each material <br /> category with 90%confidence interval for each of the 11 programs listed above under Project <br /> Understanding. Calculate the overall recycling composition by weighting results for each <br /> program by that program's contribution to the total annual tons of recyclables collected. <br /> 2. Prepare a draft report based on the RCS results that includes the following: <br /> • Summary of RCS goals, objectives, and methodologies. <br /> • Discussion of study findings and conclusions including results by program. <br /> • Detailed description of major types of contamination. These include both contaminants <br /> that constitute a significant proportion of the material, as well as more problematic <br /> contaminants for recyclables processing. <br /> • Where feasible include a count, along with weight, of major contaminants, such as <br /> number of bags containing materials and tanglers. <br /> 3. Discuss the report, via teleconference,with appropriate County personnel. <br /> 4. Finalize and submit the report based on comments and discussions with County staff. <br /> 5. Prepare data into presentation-quality materials for use by County staff. <br /> Deliverables: <br /> • Draft and final RCS report. <br /> Timeline <br /> KCI understands that County staff would like to conduct the RCS fieldwork in October 2018. KCI is ready <br /> to initiate project work immediately upon receiving notice to proceed and will make every effort to <br /> meet this timeline. However, our top priority will be to ensure that KCI and the County have sufficient <br /> time to plan the RCS and develop a protocol, material category list, and sampling schedule that meets <br /> the County's needs and objectives. As the County and KCI are aware, obtaining accurate and reliable <br /> results are paramount when conducting an RCS. Therefore, KCI will work with the County and UNC staff <br /> to establish a project schedule to meet this goal. <br /> kessler consulting inc. <br /> Proposals 2018\Orange Co Proposal-final 7 innovative waste solutions <br />
