DocuSign Envelope ID:60890E67-6F1D-48BF-9BD4-7E57F52CDE30 <br /> recycling total for the <br /> year. <br /> 1.2.4 DELIVERABLES <br /> The objective of the RCS shall be to determine and characterize the percentage of material; recyclables <br /> by type; and contaminants by type and weight that are delivered to the County's facility as well as UNC- <br /> Chapel Hill. County staff will work with Contractor to identify which loads are to be sampled. <br /> 1. Conduct recycling composition study of materials from all programs detailed in Table 1 based on <br /> appropriate samples delivered to a designated facility at Orange County Integrated Solid Waste <br /> Management Facility located at 1514 Eubanks Road Chapel Hill, NC. <br /> The dates will be mutually agreed to by the parties and Contractor shall sort recyclables and <br /> contaminants into the categories shown in Table 2, Attachment G. The study will include a <br /> sufficient number of samples for meaningful and statistically reliable estimates (minimum 90% <br /> confidence interval). Indicate how proportions would be determined and how data would be <br /> weighted, as necessary, at the end of the study. <br /> 2. Produce technical report with results detailed program-by-program (from Table 1) and compiled <br /> overall with results for all programs also shown. Report shall include separate results for Orange <br /> County recyclables by program from those from UNC by program or by locations as stipulated by <br /> UNC. Report shall provide average percentages by weight of each item and a supportable <br /> confidence level of 90%. <br /> Report shall also detail contamination by type of contaminants, number of units of each <br /> contaminant where applciable e.g. number of 'pencils', number of plastic bags, eggshells, etc. <br /> and weight by category of contaminants. Proposers have some latititude and creativiy to <br /> deteremine and state in their proposals the best ways to measure contamination. Categories <br /> shall be agreed on by the parties. Draft report shall be submitted to County for review within <br /> thirty(30) calendar days of completion of sorting. <br /> 3. Provide presentation quality data from the study for use by staff in presenting results for others. <br /> Presentation materials shall be available within fifteen calendar days of acceptance by County of <br /> Contractor's final report. Be able to present information from the sort to the Solid Waste Advisory <br /> Group or Orange County Board of County Commisioners. <br /> 3. DETAILS OF SERVICES <br /> 8 <br /> RFP No. 5253 <br />
