Solid Waste Processing and Recycling Services RFI/RFP Process Feasibility 15/8/2015 Page 4 of 6 design capacity, actual throughput, material diversion, energy production, and other relevant operational indicators. It is our understanding that the County is not interested in considering a mass-burn waste-to-energy facility(i.e., incineration without any prior treatment or preparation of the waste). o Proposer must demonstrate experience in the design, construction, planning, financing, coordination, permitting, and management of a facility similar to that being proposed. o Proposer cannot have defaulted on a project nor failed to complete a project within the past five years. o Proposer cannot be involved in any dispute, formal claim, or litigation with respect to previous projects completed or ongoing. • Existing Facility Operations: Vendors may include in their proposal assuming responsibility for operating the SWDD system, including the landfill, CCCs, processing or transfer of single stream recyclables, and other ancillary services. If so, proposers must demonstrate five years of experience providing similar services in Florida or North America. • Location: As a siting option, 40 acres at the SWDD site will be made available for facility development. Proposers should include a lease offer for the SWDD site. Proposers will need to identify the location of any facilities to be utilized that are not at the SWDD site. Proximity to the County's feedstock will be a financial consideration. • Materials: SWDD is seeking a vendor or vendors that will process all or some of the materials received at the SWDD facility. The table below summarizes the types and sources of materials received in calendar year(CY) 2014. The SWDD does not guarantee any quantity or quality and will not consider any put or pay proposals. The intention is for a comprehensive solid waste processing and recycling system; however,SWDD will consider separate contracts for processing certain types of materials, such as C&D debris and sludge/compost operations, if deemed in the best interest of the County. SWDD is under contract with INEOS until 2033 for the conversion of organic feedstock to bioethanol energy;therefore,vegetative waste will not be included in the RFI/RFP. Last year 60,666 tons of Indian River County vegetative waste was directed to INEOS. However, contractually, 25,000 tons per year of mulch is provided to SWDD for landfill cover and other SWDD uses.
