Engineer shall consider the possibility of using the services of a Person or solid waste management facility located within one hundred fifty ( 150) miles of Indian River County, Florida . The Independent Engineer shall not consider the use of a Person or facility that is more distant, unless the Independent Engineer is unable to identify three (3 ) suitable Persons and/or facilities within one hundred fifty ( 150) miles . Under such circumstances , the Independent Engineer shall consider more distant areas , but shall not look any further than is necessary to find three (3 ) suitable Persons and/or facilities , and the Independent Engineer shall not look beyond the State of Florida . The Independent Engineer shall evaluate two basic solid waste disposal services : (a) the production of Mulch from the District ' s Acceptable Waste and (b) the disposal of the District ' s Acceptable Waste . For each of these services, the Independent Engineer shall identify three (3 ) Persons and/or facilities that will offer the lowest costs to the District, based on operations that are reasonably comparable to the Company ' s operations—i . e . , the management of approximately thirty thousand (30 , 000) to fifty thousand ( 50 , 000) Tons per year of Acceptable Waste pursuant to a written contract . After identifying and quantifying the cost of using the three (3 ) lowest cost alternatives , the Independent Engineer shall calculate the total cost of using each Person and/or facility that is being evaluated as a potential alternative to the Company ("Total Alternate Cost") , The Total Alternate Cost for each Person and/or facility shall be calculated by using the following formula : Total Alternate Cost = (PPF x MT) + (PSPF x DT) Where : PPF = the proposed processing fee for producing Mulch MT = the number of Tons of Mulch that the Company delivered to the District during the previous Contract Year PSPF = the proposed supplemental processing fee for disposing of Acceptable Waste DT = the number of Tons of Acceptable Waste that the Company disposed of for the District during the previous Contract Year After calculating the Total Alternate Cost, the Independent Engineer shall determine the average cost of using the three alternative Persons and/or facilities ("Average Alternate Cost") . The Average Alternate Cost shall be calculated by adding the Total Alternate Cost for the three (3 ) alternatives and then dividing the sum by three (3 ) • 26
