B. Indian River County is responsible for guaranteeing operation of its hazardous waste collection center for 2 years after the facility is open for operation, including at least 2 days per year when household hazardous waste will be accepted at no charge to non -business entities. These free collection days will be well advertised to encourage participation. C. Indian River County is responsible for offering at least 2 days per year when conditionally exempt small businesses can bring their hazardous wastes to the collection center in order to obtain a reduced fee for proper disposal of wastes to a permitted facility. ANALYSIS: Implementation and funding of obligated and mandated Solid Waste Management programs requires a thorough evaluation of all program alternatives and their associated costs. Implementation of the programs will significantly affect our current management program, the general public, and the collection operations of the municipalities and the franchised collection services. Subsequent funding programs for areas not already covered under our budget must be developed and implemented. The attached scope of services presented by Camp Dresser and McKee is intended to address all recycling program alternatives as well as specific mandates and restrictions on the management of hazardous waste, tires, used oil, white goods, uninfectious wastes and construction/demolition debris. The scope will include recommendations on implementation and funding of the mandated waste management practices along with completion and submittal of a report to the Department of Environmental Regulation due October 1, 1989, that will outline our Solid Waste Management and Recycling Programs. This scope of services must be accomplished in its entirety within 60 days to not only assist the county in the implementation and funding of the required programs within the upcoming budget year, but to insure that the required report is submitted to the Department of Environmental Regulation by October 1, 1989. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Board approve the attached scope of services in its entirety, and that the services be accomplished within the specified 60 days to insure that all required programs and associated reports are timely accomplished by the required deadlines. Funding for this scope of services will be obtained from the Engineering Services portion of the Landfill Operations Budget. The total costs of the services is $61,200.00. Approximately $23,800.00 of the total cost may be assumed by The City of Vero Beach to cover evaluation of their collection services. MAR 2 8 089 37 Boo .. 76 FmGE 417
