DocuSign Envelope ID:60890E67-6F1D-48BF-9BD4-7E57F52CDE30 Orange County,North Carolina RFP#5253 for Recycling Composition Study Section 4:Technical Expertise ➢ Resort-Wide Waste Composition Audit, Confidential Theme Park, FL Ryan was a field supervisor for a five-day waste characterization study for a confidential theme park. Over the course of the five-days,waste from 59 separate generation points, representing a cross section of activities within the park,were hand sorted into 38 material categories by two sort crews supervised by Ryan. Ryan coordinated with park staff to ensure accurate collection and separation of collected materials from each generator point. Upon completion of the study, Ryan compiled and analyzed the data to calculate the composition of waste from each generation point. He also used waste generation data recorded by the client during the study to develop a spreadsheet-based tool that the client could use to extrapolate the results of the study across the entire park. ➢ Waste Audit, Pennsylvania State University, PA Ryan was field supervisor for a two-week(ten-day) comprehensive waste audit for Penn State University. Ryan worked closely with university staff to coordinate logistics for collecting and auditing the daily total waste generated for six separate days from twelve separate buildings. Ryan developed a detailed sampling plan that fit with the custodial and physical plants operations and allowed KCI to complete the full audit within two weeks. Ryan trained and supervised a crew in hand sorting 72 total samples of solid waste. Additionally, Ryan conducted visual assessments to estimate contamination in each of five streams of recyclables and a compost stream. Ryan was responsible for compiling and analyzing all data collected in the field and preparing a technical memo to provide these results to the client. Ryan will then be assisting the project team in applying these results to the Solid Waste Master Plan. Recyclables Composition Study, Lee County, FL Ryan was the field supervisor for a five-day recyclables composition for Lee County. Ryan conducted all pre-sort planning activities, including developing a sampling and sorting protocol agreeable to both the county and private processor and preparing a detailed sampling schedule that sampled from loads of recyclables that represented a cross section of the county. During the field work, Ryan oversaw the sampling and hand-sorting of 50 samples of single stream recyclables, including training the sort crew and ensuring accurate sorting of materials. Ryan analyzed all data obtained during the field work and prepared a technical memorandum summarizing the results and their effects on the AMV, as specified in the processing contract. ➢ Recyclables Composition Study, Emerald Coast Utilities Authority(ECUA), Pensacola, FL Ryan was the field supervisor for two separate recyclables composition studies of curbside-collected single stream recyclables. He was responsible for all aspects of the study, including developing a sampling schedule, sort protocol, material categories, and site safety plan; planning for field work logistics, ensuring proper sampling and sorting procedures; managing the temporary laborers, analyzing data, and preparing the final report. For each study, Ryan oversaw the sampling and sorting of 39 samples of single stream recyclables. The results of the studies were used to measure the composition of recyclables that ECUA receives at its materials recovery facility in order to calculate the average market value of the recyclables.
