� q EXHIBIT A i SCOPE OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AMENDMENT N0 . 2 i INDIAN RIVER COUNTY SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL DISTRICT OSLO CUSTOMER CONVENIENCE CENTER DESIGN SERVICES The new solid waste Oslo Customer Convenience Center (CCC) is proposed to be constructed on the piece of property immediately adjacent to the existing Oslo CCC on the old Oslo dump site . The proposed improvements included in the design of the new Oslo CCC were paved access roads and parking/ drive areas, attendant office, covered household hazardous waste and oil collection/storage area, restroom' facilities , and a retention pond for stormwater treatment and attenuation . The new Oslo CCC consisted of an earthen- filled ramp raised approximately 12 feet above existing grade . The top -length and top -width of the ramp was designed to be approximately 200 feet and 120 feet, respectively. A retaining wall system was to be used around the perimeter to retain the fill and allow roll - off transfer equipment to be used on the lower level . Access roads and ramp areas were to be built to accommodate traffic to and from the new CCC . The " elevated" platform-type design of the new Oslo CCC was based on the new Fellsmere CCC, which began operating in January 2010 and was established as Indian River County Solid Waste Disposal District' s (IRC SWDD) standard for construction of all new CCCs in IRC . The design was recently completed and bids were received on March 4, 2011 . Due to the driven pile system and structural elements of the construction required by the complexities of the site, potential environmental impacts, and regulatory requirements associated with constructing on an old solid waste dump site, the bid amounts exceeded capital costs that are considered to be acceptable during this time of economical restraint and overall budget challenges . It was determined that it may not be appropriate to proceed with construction of the new Oslo CCC with the " elevated " platform - type structure, which is IRC SWDD ' s current standard for construction of all new CCCs . An evaluation of alternative design and operation options for the new Oslo CCC , which may be more economically appropriate given the financial situation that currently exists, should be performed . Such alternative options can include a " flat" on grade - type facility. This would eliminate the major expenses of an "elevated" platform -type structure associated with the driven pile system, which is required to support the concrete masonry unit (CMU) retaining wall and concrete footers, due to the solid waste that is buried at the site . Camp Dresser & McKee Inc . , (CDM ) has performed some preliminary investigations on a " flat" on grade - type facility that utilizes stationary compactors with enclosed roll - off storage containers for transport of residential solid waste to the landfill . It appears that this type of concept could provide a clean, convenient, economical, and easily operated facility for the residents that utilize the Oslo CCC . Based on discussions with IRC staff, the operator of the existing Oslo CCC; a solid waste compactor manufacturer representative, and a visit to a similar facility in Marion County, Florida, the stationary compactors with enclosed roll - off storage containers could be used to transport municipal solid waste, cardboard, paper, and mixed recyclables to the landfill .
