kessler consulting inc . innovative caste solutions Indian River County, Florida Solid Waste Disposal District Scope of Work Technical Assistance with Recyclables Processing Procurement December 22, 2011 BACKGROUND Indian River County ( County ) is in the process of procuring recyclables processing services . The County issued a Request for Proposals for Recyclables Transfer, Processing and Marketing; Services ( RFP ) , with proposals due January 13 , 2012 . Kessler Consulting, Inc . ( KCI ) proposes to provide technical solid waste assistance to the County as it reviews the proposals , evaluates its options , and develops and negotiates a final service contract . The project objective is to ensure the County enters into a contract that is in its best interest , both operationally and financially . SCOPE OF SERVICES Task 1 • Technical Assistance with Proposal Evaluations KCI will conduct the following activities on a time-and - materials basis as requested by County staff : • Review up to six proposals submitted in response to the RFP . • Prepare a technical summary of each proposal . • Prepare a comparative financial summary of all proposals . Because the RFP requires proposers to provide pricing for multiple variables ( i . e . , transport, processing and revenue sharing) , KCI will conduct a sensitivity analysis that evaluates how the price proposals change with potential fluctuations in the commodity market index . Historically, the market index fluctuates and will undoubtedly continue to fluctuate in the future . Because of the multiple pricing variables proposers are required to provide in the RFP , the proposal that offers the greatest financial benefit to the County when the commodity market index is high is not necessarily the best deal for the County when the index is low . A sensitivity analysis of the price proposals will assist the County in making an informed decision that is not just based on current commodity values . • Participate in one meeting with County staff, one Board of County Commissioners meeting, and additional audio or video conferencing calls as needed . During such meetings and calls , KCI will provide technical information and assistance related to the proposals received by the County, processing trends in Florida and the United States , and preliminary guidance on opportunities to increase recycling tonnages . 14620 N Nebi iska Ave . , Bldg .
