(KCI) is pleased to provide this proposed scope of work to assist <br />Indian River County (County) Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) in their procurement process for <br />residential and commercial solid waste and recycling collection services. <br />Background <br />In 2014-2015, KCI assisted the County in establishing an exclusive, franchise agreement with WM for <br />providing weekly curbside collection of solid waste, recycling, and yard waste in the unincorporated area <br />with an option for also servicing the City of Fellsmere. The original agreement expired September 30, <br />2022. The term was extended three years to September 30, 2025. The County now seeks consulting <br />services to assist in the planning, solicitation development, proposal review, and the negotiation/ <br />contract finalization process of procuring a new franchisee. While not included within this scope, should <br />the County later seek additional support during the transition of service providers, KCI would be happy <br />to discuss potential tasks. <br />Scope of Work <br />Task 1 — ProcurementStrategy and Planning <br />Purpose: Develop a clear understanding of the County's goals and objectives regarding the <br />procurement process by understanding the current collection system, as well as any associated <br />challenges. This may include the involvement of stakeholders from across multiple County <br />departments at the project kick-off, as well as representatives from any municipalities participating in <br />the solicitation. <br />Work Activities: <br />Review relevant County data from previous project and research work. If necessary, submit an <br />information request for any additional collection system data needs. This may include, but not <br />be limited to, all franchise agreement amendments, tonnage data throughout the term of the <br />agreement, current service fees, performance reports, any administrative charges assessed <br />14620 N. itiLBkASI<A AVi: BLILNG D I TAMPA, (=L 1336-1.13 1 8:1.3.97:1..8333 ( KE:SC NSULT.Cl)ivl <br />
