Brown, County Administrator Through: Vincent Burke, PE, Director of Utility Services From: Himanshu Mehta, Managing Director, Solid Waste Disposal District Subject: Amendment No. 2 to SiteCrafters of Florida Descriptions and Conditions: Per Indian River County (IRC) Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) Board direction on February 19, 2019, staff was directed to improve/clean up the yard waste site. On November 12, 2019, the SWDD Board awarded Bid No. 2020004 to SiteCrafters of Florida, Inc. (SiteCrafters) to provide two functions. First, concrete crushing of 25,000 tons of stockpiled concrete at the former construction and debris (C&D) landfill at a rate of $8.67 per ton, or $216,750. Second, placement of a minimum of 12 inches of crushed concrete across an approximately 11.25 acre portion of the Yard Waste Facility at a rate of $7.25 per ton, or $181,250. The total award of $398,000 was to begin improving the area where yard waste is dropped off. On March 3, 2020, the SWDD Board approved Amendment No. 1 to SiteCrafters to provide base improvements to the eastern portions of the yard waste site (Section A on the attached map) for a lump sum total of $173,780, which included importing 9,757 cubic yards of fill material in a total project cost to be $571,780. SiteCrafters completed this work by March 31, 2020. On November 19, 2019, the SWDD Board approved a Yard Waste Processing and Recycling Agreement with Atlas Organics Indian River, LLC (Atlas Organics) to process, transport and recycle yard waste on the landfill property. A provision of this contract included Atlas Organics to provide up to $250,000 of site improvements to the yard waste facility within the first year. On April 9, 2020, Atlas Organics provided confirmation that they entered into a separate agreement with SiteCrafters to provide additional improvements to the northern and part of the western portion of the site for $214,210, which included importing 13,580 cubic yards of fill material (Section B on the attached map). Atlas Organics also provided details for the remaining $35,790 in funding towards survey, geotechnical work and engineering cost to cover their contractual obligations to SWDD for the $250,000 in site improvements. Overall, the site improvements so far are well received by the public. However, in order to complete the remaining portion of the site improvements on the western portion of the site (Section C on the attached map) as well as make maintenance improvements to the existing canals on the site, staff has received a proposal from Sitecrafters as Amendment 2 to their agreement. 91
