Indicate the number of samples to be collected and sorted at the <br /> facility, and the number of days sampling would be required. While detailed development of this <br /> information will be conducted by the successful firm, the proposal shall indicate the approach to <br /> program design and and sampling rates/frequencies that are likely to prove statistically <br /> relevant. <br /> The plan should aim to provide statistically valid data with a 90% confidence level for each of the <br /> following program profiles: <br /> o Residential- Urban and Rural; <br /> o Multifamily; <br /> o Commercial; <br /> o UNC-Chapel Hill <br /> o Orange County Schools <br /> o Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools <br /> o Staffed Drop Off Sites <br /> o Unstaffed Drop Off Sites <br /> The successful Consultant will work with Orange County and UNC staff to obtain the relevant <br /> information to create the final sample design,fine-tune field forms and field procedures, <br /> apportion samples, and select sampling days and sample truckloads. <br /> Each proposer shall offer options with costs and the rationale for selecting their preferred approach for <br /> conducting the RCS. Ultimately, the number of samples from each program shall be jointly determined by <br /> 6 <br /> RFP No. 5253 <br />
