Orange County, North Carolina <br />Proposal - Waste Characterization Study <br /> <br /> Orange County WCS KCI Proposal <br />4 <br />monitor all bins to ensure accurate sorting. Materials not sorted correctly will be moved to the correct <br />category and the sorting crew notified. <br />All sorted material will be weighed, and the weights recorded on one of KCI’s field tablets. KCI’s <br />protocol is to line all bins with clean plastic garbage bags. This allows more accurate weighing than <br />weighing the entire bin, which can get buildup of material on the sides and bottom if not lined, skewing <br />the tare weights. After weighing, material will then be discarded. If the County wishes to segregate any <br />recyclable or recoverable material, KCI would be more than willing to do that provided the County <br />provides a means of separately collecting and removing the material from the site. The County will be <br />responsible for transporting and disposing/recycling all sorted and unsorted MSW delivered to the <br />landfill as part of the WCS. <br />At the end of each day, KCI will sweep/rake the area under and surrounding the tent and secure any <br />remaining MSW. Unsorted samples will be wrapped up securely in tarps and/or stored and covered in <br />garbage can/roll carts. KCI will remove all electronic equipment (tablets, scales, radio) from the site. If a <br />generator is used, it will be secured to a fixed structure, such as the tent. KCI will back up all electronic <br />data sheets to cloud storage every night during and following the event. <br />Sort Supplies <br />Based on KCI’s extensive experience conducting composition studies, we know what equipment and <br />supplies are needed to successfully conduct the study. The following table lists the supplies that the <br />County and KCI will provide. KCI will review this with the County and can modify it to meet the specific <br />needs of the WCS. <br />Equipment, Tools, & Miscellaneous Supplies Supplied By Total Quantity <br />Portable toilet or other bathroom facilities Orange County 1 <br />95-gallon rolling carts Orange County 20 <br />Potable water supply Orange County 1 <br />Skid steer or similar vehicle (preferably with a grapple bucket) <br />and operator for pulling samples <br />Orange County 1 <br />Front-end loader or similar vehicle and operator to remove <br />remainder of load (not pulled for sampling) for disposal <br />Orange County 1 <br />20’ x 20’ frame tent with sides KCI - rental 1 <br />Hand washing station KCI - rental 1 <br />Heavy duty scale with a 250 lb. capacity and 0.05 lb. <br />resolution. <br />KCI 2 <br />Field tablets for data recording (with built in camera) KCI 2 <br />Clipboard for paper logs KCI 1 <br />Custom-made sort table KCI 1 <br />Magnet KCI 1 <br />Sawhorses for table KCI 2 <br />Folding tables to hold supplies KCI 2 <br />Heavy duty tarps KCI 12 <br />Labeled sorting bins (22-gallon) KCI 50 <br />Trash cans(35-gallon) KCI 12 <br />Buckets (5-gallon) KCI 8 <br />Tongs for sorting KCI 12 <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 1223AA0B-DDEC-4EBE-8FEA-427010558A5C
