ATTACHMENT B SCOPE OF SERVICES INDIAN RIVER COUNTY SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL DISTRICT CONVENIENCE CENTER SITE AND OPERATING IMPROVEMENTS EVALUATION PROJECT SCOPE OF SERVICES Introduction The Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) was established as a dependent special district of Indian River County on December 22, 1987 under Ordinance 87-67. The SWDD encompasses the unincorporated area of the County, and through interlocal agreements, the municipalities of Vero Beach, Town of Indian River Shores, Town of Orchid, City of Sebastian, and the City of Fellsmere. The SWDD's waste management system is composed of three primary budgetary systems consisting of the landfill operations, refuse operations, and recycling operations. The landfill operations and budget address the administration of the SWDD, waste disposal, household hazardous waste management, and the administration of the franchised waste collection companies. The refuse operations and budget address the SWDD operated transport of residential waste from the five collection / recycling (Convenience) Centers to the landfill. The recycling operations and budget address the staffing of the Convenience Centers; the collection, processing and marketing of recyclables; and the public education program for the promotion of recycling. The five Convenience Centers are staffed by county employees and are scheduled for overlapping service, six days a week. Approximately 18% of the residential garbage and five percent of recycled material of Indian River County is collected at the Convenience Centers. Household hazardous materials and five percent of the county's yard waste are also collected at the Centers. The sites have been operating for over ten years and a review of their status is recommended. There are several areas which require attention as outlined in Task 1.0 below. Task LO - Prepare Evaluation Report with Recommendations and Construction Cost Estimates CDM will evaluate the Convenience Centers and prepare a report setting forth the findings. The evaluation process would include gathering information through site visits, interviews of employees, and users of the sites. CDM would inspect each site for physical structural damage, evaluate traffic flow, evaluate equipment, analyze customer usage, assess employee procedures, appraise site drainage, employee accommodations, site security, material storage, and site safety. CDM will also conduct SWDD employee interviews and informal IRC customer interviews to identify issues to address. CDM is aware of the following issues with the sites and would address these as part of the evaluation: F0199.dw B-1
