2022 Hurricane Preparedness Plan Indian River County Landfill and Customer Convenience Centers Managed by Republic Services of Florida, Limited Partnership (Republic Services) This hurricane preparedness operation plan for the operation of the Indian River County Landfill (Landfill) and Customer Convenience Centers (CCCs) by Republic Services pursuant to that certain Contract Agreement with Indian River County Solid Waste Disposal District, Indian River County, Florida Solid Waste Operations and Maintenance, as amended, is intended to allow for the seamless disposal of storm debris with the least amount of effect on residents of Indian River County. 1. Once a named storm is tracked to the Central Coast of Florida in the proximity of Indian River County, Republic Services will have all of the material at the CCCs emptied by hauling the waste to the Indian River County Landfill. Republic Services will continue the operations of both the Landfill and the CCCs until a decision for closure is made. Republic Services and Indian River County will communicate in good faith and with the intent to come to a mutually agreeable decision with respect to the closure of the Landfill and the CCCs that takes into account the safety and protection of personnel and property. 2. Republic Services will develop a "Timeline for Closing" plan with Indian River County which will take into account Republic Services' corporate requirements (including the safety of personnel, property and assets) and Indian River County's cleanup needs. A conceptual closing and opening plan is provided below; the conceptual plan remains subject to change, depending on the requirements of the situation. 3. Republic Services will return to the Landfill and the CCCs as soon as it is safe to do so after the storm (i.e., upon issuance of an "all clear" to travel on county roads by IRC Emergency Services). Republic Services' first priority with respect to services provided to Indian River County will be to assess and document damages at the Landfill and the CCCs and to assist in reopening all of the facilities as soon as possible. 4. There may be additional costs to Indian River County to operate the Landfill and CCCs before or after the storm as detailed below. In order to facilitate the inflow of additional storm debris material, the operation of the Landfill may result in additional costs in order to effectively manage the material and comply with all state and federal statutes. Republic Services will provide Indian River County with all documentation associated with the additional services provided to return the Landfill and the CCCs to normal operations. Such documentation will include time sheets, truck counts including container sizes and any additional information reasonably requested by Indian River County to verify the costs, and shall include information related to pre -storm services and operations. Baseline information, for services and operations prior to the storm, including number of employees, shall be provided with the documentation. A) CCC Personnel Costs: The personnel costs consist of the costs to bring employees in for hours in addition to usual and customary hours. Further, if clean-up efforts require additional man-hours to perform proper operation of the CCCs, this will require employees to work beyond usual and customary hours and will require Republic Services to recoup the extra costs. The below amount covers the cost per man- hour to open for additional days/times and/or the additional time required to effectively operate the CCC post -hurricane. In order to provide for an expedited cleanup, Republic Services may employ additional employees from traffic control in order to safely navigate hauling trucks into and out of the CCCs. This will require additional employees and will require Republic Services to recoup the extra costs. If pre -storm cleanup of the CCCs is required in order to handle the additional materials from the storm, this will require additional employees and will require Republic Services to recoup the extra costs. Cost for CCC laborer man-hour: $47.23/hour/man OMM
