Hurricane Preparedness Plan <br />Indian River County Landfill and Customer Convenience Centers <br />Managed by Republic Services of Florida, Limited Partnership (Republic Services) <br />This hurricane preparedness operation plan for the operation of the Indian River County Landfill and <br />Customer Convenience Centers (CCCs) by Republic Services pursuant to that certain Contract Agreement <br />Indian River County Solid Waste Disposal District, Indian River County, Florida Solid Waste Operations <br />and Maintenance, as amended, is intended to allow for the seamless disposal of storm debris with the <br />least amount of effect on residents of Indian River County. <br />Once a named storm is tracked to the Central Coast of Florida in the proximity of Indian River County, <br />Republic Services will have all of the material at the CCCs emptied by hauling the waste to the Indian <br />River County Landfill. 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 />�0 <br />
