Orange County, North Carolina <br />Proposal - Waste Characterization Study <br /> <br /> Orange County WCS KCI Proposal <br />9 <br />Data Recording and Documentation <br />The weight (in pounds) of all materials sorted from each sample will be recorded on KCI’s field tablet <br />using our proprietary data logs. As mentioned above, all data will be backed up to cloud storage every <br />night. All composition data will be calculated as percentage by weight. <br />Photographs will be taken of the sorting site, sampling and sorting activities, and anything unusual found <br />during the sampling and sorting event. <br />Proposed Scope of Work <br />Based on KCI’s extensive experience with WCSs, we propose the following scope of work to meet the <br />goals and objectives outlined in the RFP. It is also based on the protocol outlined above. KCI realizes <br />that respondents can have different interpretations of the scope and level of effort requested by the <br />County; therefore, to ensure that the County’s needs and objectives are met, KCI welcomes the <br />opportunity to modify and refine the proposed scope and budget as needed. <br />Task 1 – Kickoff Meeting and Information Request <br />KCI will initiate the project, confirm the County’s objectives, and obtain relevant information to plan the <br />WCS. <br />Activities: <br />1. Participate in a kickoff meeting to confirm project objectives and identify available information <br />needed to plan and conduct the WCS. <br />2. Request, review, and evaluate relevant information and data provided by County staff, including <br />but not limited to: <br />• Annual tonnage of MSW from all jurisdictions and generator sectors (i.e., single-family <br />residential, multi-family residential, commercial) <br />• Collection schedules and number of MSW routes run each day for each <br />jurisdiction/generator sector. <br />Deliverables: <br />• Virtual project kickoff call <br />• Information request <br />Task 2 – Finalize WCS Protocol and Fieldwork Planning <br />As requested, KCI’s preliminary proposed Study Protocol, based on information provided in the RFP and <br />our experience with the previous WCS, is provided earlier in this section. During Task 2, KCI will work <br />with County staff to further refine the protocol based on the information and knowledge gained in Task <br />1. <br />Activities: <br />1. Draft the Study Protocol, including material categories, and sampling schedule. <br />2. Using the outline provided in Section 2 of this proposal, draft the study-specific Health and <br />Safety Plan. <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 1223AA0B-DDEC-4EBE-8FEA-427010558A5C
