Ft. Pierce, FL <br />Grand Junction, CO <br />Indian River County, FL <br />Manatee County, FL <br />Sarasota County, FL <br />Sarasota, FL <br />The Recycling Partnership, <br />Washington, D.C. <br />KCI is assisting <br />the City of Ft. <br />Pierce with the <br />selection of a <br />vendor for a truck telematics system to <br />improve collection efficiency, dispatch, <br />and service verification functions. <br />KCI, in <br />collaboration with <br />LBA Associates, <br />completed a <br />Materials Recovery <br />Facility (MRF) feasibility study for <br />the City of Grand Junction. Based <br />on our report and presentation, the <br />city has decided to pursue design <br />and development of a new MRF with <br />flexibility to handle diverse collection <br />methods and regional tonnage. <br />The county retained <br />KCI again to assist in <br />their franchise collection <br />procurement process. <br />The solicitation is <br />currently open with great <br />attendance to the non-mandatory pre- <br />proposal meeting in December. KCI <br />will continue to assist the county with <br />the evaluation and negotiation process <br />slated for early 2024. <br />KCI has been <br />assisting the county <br />with a new franchise <br />collection procurement <br />process to help define new contracts <br />once the current contracts expire in <br />2025. In November, the Board of <br />County Commissioners requested <br />staff to evaluate additional contract <br />extensions. In coordination with county <br />staff, KCI is assisting with this contract <br />update and negotiation process. <br />KCI wrapped <br />up results <br />from a Waste <br />Composition <br />Study (WCS) and Construction and <br />Demolition Visual Audit, both designed <br />to assist the county in understanding <br />the materials being disposed of in the <br />county’s landfill and potential diversion <br />opportunities the county may pursue. <br />KCI continues to assist the county with <br />all stages of their franchise collection <br />procurement. The county received five <br />responses to the solicitation that were <br />narrowed during the selection process <br />and are in negotiations with several <br />firms. <br />To remain updated on programming <br />and pricing across Florida, KCI <br />completed a pricing survey of six <br />comparable communities selected by <br />the county. This multi-year project <br />that launched in 2021, has allowed <br />the county to understand market <br />fluctuations and the relationship to their <br />own collection and disposal pricing. <br />KCI recently completed two additional <br />projects for Sarasota County, the first <br />being an update of a previous feasibility <br />assessment for the County Solid <br />Waste Department regarding in-house <br />curbside residential and commercial <br />collection in the unincorporated county. <br />KCI also conducted a feasibility <br />assessment regarding the possibility of <br />in-house collection of recyclables from <br />county locations. <br />Leveraging on-site <br />fieldwork during the <br />Sarasota County WCS, <br />KCI coordinated with <br />the city to pull additional <br />samples and perform a statistically <br />valid composition of the city’s materials <br />being landfilled. Results will be utilized <br />by the city to support and inform plans <br />for enhancing food waste diversion. <br />Henrico County, VA <br />TRP requested KCI to conduct <br />a recycling tonnage analysis to <br />determine the effectiveness of an <br />education campaign to increase <br />recycling participation within <br />Henrico County. This analysis will <br />be conducted by reviewing recycling <br />tonnage data from recycling collection <br />routes for both control and target area <br />groups. The educational campaign <br />was conducted between October 2 <br />and November 17, 2023. KCI is now <br />analyzing tonnage data to determine <br />the impact of the educational <br />campaign. <br />Folsom, CA <br />KCI conducted a capture study to <br />determine the effectiveness of five- <br />tiered intervention groups within <br />Folsom. Phase 1 was completed <br />in September 2023 and provided <br />baseline capture rate data for each of <br />the five intervention groups. This study <br />will be repeated in spring 2024 after <br />education and outreach is provided to <br />each of the intervention groups. <br />Minot, ND <br />A capture study was completed by KCI <br />in Minot October 2023. The goal of this <br />study is to provide a comprehensive <br />assessment of the cities’ newly <br />implemented recycling program. <br />Alachua County, FL <br />KCI conducted two multi-family <br />capture studies in coordination <br />with TRP and the county as part of <br />an intervention study designed to <br />measure pre- and post-outreach <br />recycling levels in multi-family <br />complexes. Outreach efforts were <br />designed to support the county’s <br />recently adopted mandate for multi- <br />family recycling. <br />Client Updates <br />2 | Winter 2023 <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 1223AA0B-DDEC-4EBE-8FEA-427010558A5C
