Brown, County Administrator <br />From: Vincent Burke, PE, Director of Utility Services <br />Thru: Himanshu H. Mehta, PE, Managing Director, Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) <br />Prepared By: Ronnie T. Jones, BSCE, Assistant Managing Director, Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) <br />Subject: Request for Relocation and Installation Services from Inter -Block Retaining Systems, Inc. <br />Description and Conditions: <br />Since 2015, the Indian River County IRC) Landfill has utilized Enviro-Blocks from Inter -Block Retaining <br />Systems, Inc. (Inter -Block) for use as storage bays in our single stream storage facility. On June 9, 2020, <br />the Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) Board waived the bid requirements and authorized the <br />Purchasing Manager to issue a purchase order to Inter -Block for the purchase and installation of 399 <br />Enviro-Blocks. <br />Staff is currently in the process of obtaining the required permits for the relocation of the existing Big Top <br />Tent (BTT) onto the newly constructed 80 feet x 240 feet concrete pad (Request for Proposal (RFP) <br />#2020050), which was approved by the SWDD Board on August 18, 2020, and successfully completed in <br />March 2021. Once the BTT relocation is completed, the existing Enviro-Blocks must also be relocated onto <br />the new concrete pad to allow for the future construction of the Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) <br />Facility. Additionally, the Enviro-Blocks placement onto the new concrete pad will allow SWDD the ability <br />to begin sorting and temporarily storing clean cardboard and scrap metal in addition to the single stream <br />recycling materials. <br />Staff has received the attached proposal from Inter -Block to provide for the removal, relocation, and <br />installation of the existing Enviro-Blocks for a total cost of $59,760.00.
