2018 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 <br />(Landfill) and Customer Convenience Centers (CCCs) by Republic Services pursuant to that certain <br />Contract Agreement Indian River County Solid Waste Disposal District, Indian River County, Florida Solid <br />Waste Operations and Maintenance, as amended, is intended to allow for the seamless disposal of <br />storm debris with the least amount of effect on residents of Indian River County. <br />1. Once a named storm is tracked to the Central Coast of Florida in the proximity of Indian River <br />County, Republic Services will have all of the material at the CCCs emptied by hauling the waste to the <br />Indian River County Landfill. Republic Services will continue the operations of both the Landfill and the <br />CCCs until a decision for closure is made. Republic Services and Indian River County will communicate in <br />good faith and with the intent to come to a mutually agreeable decision with respect to the closure of <br />the Landfill and the CCCs that takes into account the safety and protection of personnel and property. <br />2. Republic Services will develop a "Timeline for Closing" plan with Indian River County which will <br />take into account Republic Services' corporate requirements (including the safety of personnel, property <br />and assets) and Indian River County's cleanup needs. A conceptual closing and opening plan is provided <br />below; the conceptual plan remains subject to change, depending on the requirements of the situation. <br />3. Republic Services will return to the Landfill and the CCCs as soon as it is safe to do so after the <br />storm (i.e., upon issuance of an "all clear" to travel on county roads by IRC Emergency Services). <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 />4. There may be additional costs to Indian River County to operate the Landfill and CCCs before or <br />after the storm as detailed below. In order to facilitate the inflow of additional storm debris material, <br />the operation of the Landfill may result in additional costs in order to effectively manage the material <br />and comply with all state and federal statutes. Republic Services will provide Indian River County with all <br />documentation associated with the additional services provided to return the Landfill and the CCCs to <br />normal operations. Such documentation will include time sheets, truck counts including container sizes <br />and any additional information reasonably requested by Indian River County to verify the costs, and <br />shall include information related to pre -storm services and operations. Baseline information, for services <br />and operations prior to the storm, including number of employees, shall be provided with the <br />documentation. <br />A) 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 <br />operation of the CCCs, this will require employees to work beyond usual and customary hours <br />and will require Republic Services to recoup the extra costs. The below amount covers the cost <br />per man-hour to open for additional days/times and/or the additional time required to <br />effectively operate the CCC post -hurricane. In order to provide for an expedited cleanup, <br />Republic Services may employ additional employees from traffic control in order to safely <br />navigate hauling trucks into and out of the CCCs. This will require additional employees and will <br />require Republic Services to recoup the extra costs. If pre -storm cleanup of the CCCs is required <br />in order to handle the additional materials from the storm, this will require additional <br />employees and will require Republic Services to recoup the extra costs. <br />Cost for CCC laborer man-hour: $41.99/hour/man <br />
