Simply proportioning the sample size based on tons in <br /> each program is insufficient for the approach. <br /> 2.2.2 SORTING CATEGORIES <br /> Table 2 in Attachment G illustrates the categories of materials in which recyclables shall be sorted. If the <br /> proposer wishes to submit another approach to sorting, that will be considered but a demonstrable <br /> rationale must be included with the proposal explaining the proposed deviation from the categories used <br /> in the waste composition studies. <br /> 2.2.3 MEASURING CONTAMINATION <br /> One major element of the study is determining the amount and types of contaminants found in <br /> recyclables collected from each program. The Proposer must determine and describe in detail the <br /> protocols for measuring, describing the amounts and type of contamination within each sample taken. <br /> Proposers have the opportunity to exercise some creativity and judgment in how they intend to express <br /> contamination and explain the reasoning behind their options. The proposal ranking will be based partly <br /> on how effectively this criterion is addressed. <br /> Table 1 Recycling Programs and Tonnage to be Sampled in RCS <br /> Program Service Stops Estimated Tonnage Service Provider <br /> FY 17-18 <br /> Urban Curbside 19,000 households (20 routes) 5,960 Contracted Services <br /> Rural Curbside 22,000 households (30 routes) 3,040 Orange County Solid Waste <br /> Unstaffed Recycling Sites 4 1,810(includes OCC) Orange County Solid Waste <br /> Staffed Recycling Sites 5 1,457 includes OCC Orange County Solid Waste <br /> Commercial 500 stops 900 Orange County Solid Waste <br /> Multifamily Resdiential 135 stops serving 1,040(does not Orange County Solid Waste <br /> approximately 14,000 apts include OCC) <br /> Orange County Schools 37 stops in the two systems 167 (includes OCC) Orange County Solid Waste <br /> Chapel Hill Schools 174 (includes OCC) Orange County Solid Waste <br /> UNC <br /> UNC Residence Halls 26 stops, 201 carts (95 gallon) 167 tons* Contracted Service <br /> outdoor carts (does not include <br /> OCC) <br /> UNC outdoor carts 54 stops, 329 carts (95 gallon) 338 tons* Contracted Service <br /> (does not include <br /> OCC) <br /> UNC Walkways 72 locations Bin Included in mixed Contracted Service <br /> 7 <br /> RFP No. 5253 <br />
