Republic Services will continue the operations of both the landfill and the CCCs <br /> until a decision for closure is issued by Indian River County with the agreement of Republic Services. In <br /> the event that Republic Services has made a good faith attempt to make contact with Indian River <br /> County regarding closure, and is unable to do so and deems it unsafe to continue operation of the <br /> landfill or/and CCCs,then Republic Services may discontinue services at the landfill and CCCs. <br /> Republic Services will return to the landfill and the CCCs as soon as it is safe to do so after the storm. <br /> Republic Services'first priority with respect to services provided to Indian River County will be to assess <br /> and document damages at the landfill and the CCCs and to assist in reopening all of the facilities as soon <br /> as possible. <br /> There may be additional costs to Indian River County to operate the landfill and CCCs after the storm as <br /> detailed below. <br /> CCC Personnel Costs: <br /> The personnel costs consist of the costs to bring employees in for hours in addition to usual and <br /> customary hours. Further, if clean-up efforts require additional man-hours to perform proper operation <br /> of the CCCs,this will require employees to work beyond usual and customary hours and will require <br /> Republic Services to recoup the extra costs.The below amount covers the cost per man-hour to open for <br /> additional days/times and/or the additional time required to effectively operate the CCC post-hurricane. <br /> Cost for CCC laborer man-hour:$37.13/hour/man <br /> CCC Operating Costs: <br /> Republic Services will make commercially reasonable efforts to clean up all storm debris at the CCCs in a <br /> timely manner. If Indian River County requests expedited clean up, Republic Services will hire third <br /> party personnel and clam truck services to perform duties. All third party personnel and services will be <br /> billed in addition to hauling and personnel costs. Cost for CCC operations post-hurricane:to be <br /> determined by Republic Services <br /> CCC Hauling Costs: <br /> In order to segregate the tonnage of storm debris from normal waste at the CCCs, Republic Services will <br /> submit the waste hauled to the Indian River County Landfill for the previous 6 months,which shall be <br /> reconciled with Indian River County's calculation.These amounts will be adjusted for any seasonality <br /> and agreed to by Indian River County.Any additional tonnage over the monthly average in the 2 months <br /> following the storm that is hauled to the Indian River County Landfill from the CCCs, shall be considered <br /> storm debris and shall be charged at the incremental rate stated below. <br /> In order to convert the tonnage hauled to a yardage measurement,the appropriate conversion rate <br /> shall be: 1 cubic yard= 300 lbs. <br /> Cost for hauling additional tonnage from CCC to Indian River County Landfill:$8.15/cubic yard <br />
