This proposal outlines our <br />understanding of the project scope, tasks to be completed, assumptions underlying our fee proposal, and <br />fees for various project tasks. <br />I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br />The tire recycle area at the Eubanks Road Landfill consists of a concrete slab with concrete barriers <br />used to contain the tires to the dedicated area. The slab has been topped with asphalt in the past and <br />that repair is beginning to fail. A contractor has provided a quote to add additional asphalt to the <br />surface; however, the owner has two concerns: 1) that the price may be higher than the average rate for <br />this work and 2) the work may not provide a long-lasting solution to the wear of the surface used for tore <br />recycling. Additionally, during the annual inspection of the facility by state officials, it was mentioned that <br />this area should be sheltered from rainfall. The Orange County Solid Waste Department reached out to <br />Draper Aden Associates (DAA) to provide a proposal to evaluate the quote from the contractor to repair <br />this area and guidance on options to cover the tire recycle area in a manner that allows the use of heavy <br />equipment to transfer the tire from the slab to a trailer for transport. <br />II. SCOPE OF SERVICES <br />The project consists of evaluation of a quote by a contractor to repair the existing slab by <br />recovering the area in asphalt. An evaluation will be conducted to determine if the price is reasonable <br />and if the work, when completed, will provide a suitable and durable repair. Additionally, DAA will <br />research options to allow for rain cover over this area in a manner that will allow for the use of the <br />landfill’s excavator to transfer the tire to the trailer used for transporting the tires off the site. <br /> <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: BA06E55D-41AE-436A-872E-93F643636447
