Orange County, North Carolina <br />Proposal - Waste Characterization Study <br /> <br /> Orange County WCS KCI Proposal <br />10 <br />3. Provide the draft Study Protocol and draft Health and Safety Plan for County staff review. <br />4. Finalize the Study Protocol and Health and Safety Plan based on County staff comments. <br />5. Communicate with County staff regarding fieldwork logistics, including final sort location, <br />equipment needs, collection of samples, and local labor. <br />6. Develop information packets and truck placards for distribution to haulers in advance of the <br />fieldwork. The placards will then be distributed to selected vehicles for easy identification at the <br />landfill. <br />Deliverables: <br />• Up to three fieldwork coordination calls. <br />• Draft and Final Study Protocol that includes a sampling and sorting schedule, methodology to be <br />used to collect and sort all samples, and a list of defined material categories into which MSW <br />will be sorted. <br />• Draft and Final Health and Safety Plan outlining the sorting and safety practices to be followed <br />by all fieldwork staff. <br />Task 3 – Conduct Sampling and Sorting Event <br />Following County approval of the Study Protocol, KCI will mobilize its crew and sorting equipment to <br />conduct the onsite sampling and hand-sorting of MSW in accordance with the approved Study Protocol <br />and Health and Safety Plan. <br />Activities: <br />1. Obtain the necessary supplies and equipment as outlined in the Study Protocol. <br />2. Mobilize KCI’s field crew and sorting equipment. <br />3. Provide a Field Manager, Sorting Supervisor, and six local day laborers to assist with the sorting <br />event. If the County is able to provide dedicated staff for the duration of the sorting event, the <br />number of day laborers will be reduced accordingly. <br />4. Conduct the sampling and sorting event. The sorting event will take place Monday through <br />Friday over a one-week period. Depending on the final sampling schedule developed in Task 1, <br />KCI will pull and sort approximately 45-50 samples of MSW weighing at least 200 pounds. KCI <br />will follow the sampling schedule detailed and approved in the Sampling and Sorting Protocol. <br />a. KCI’s Field Manager leads daily training sessions to review proper sorting techniques and <br />safety protocols. While we encourage our day laborers to work the entire sort with us, <br />the daily training sessions ensure that all workers understand their roles and <br />responsibilities if the day laborers change. <br />b. KCI’s Field Manager and Sorting Supervisor continually observe the material category <br />bins to ensure proper sorting and record weight data on field tablets to ensure accurate <br />data recording. The spreadsheet for each sample is immediately saved to the tablet, and <br />all data is backed up to the cloud each evening for data security. <br /> <br /> <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 1223AA0B-DDEC-4EBE-8FEA-427010558A5C
