Solid Waste Processing and Recycling ,ices RFI/RFP Process Feasibility 5/8/2015 I Page 5 of 6 • Out-of County Waste: To enable proposers to provide the most economically beneficial proposal to SWDD, an assumption is made that the SWDD Board is willing to entertain proposals that include acceptance of out-of-county waste. Proposers will be requested to identify any out-of-county materials they anticipate bringing to the SWDD site as feedstock for the proposed facility and the source of such materials. They will also be required to discuss any host fees or financial impacts associated with this additional material. The amount and sources of out-of-county waste that can be accepted, if any, would be clearly defined in the final contract. • Diversion: Proposers will be required to estimate diversion and clearly illustrate the methodology that will be used to achieve the estimated diversion rate. In addition, proposers will be required to explain how their proposals will help the County achieve the 75% recycling goal and to provide a guaranteed diversion rate. • Financing: Proposers will be required to propose service fees, any capital investment desired of the County, and the overall financial benefit to the County. • Term: The term of the agreement will depend on the services to be provided. Proposals that involve development of a facility will likely require at least a 20-year term. If the facility is located at the SWDD site,facility ownership will revert to SWDD at expiration. • Evaluation Criteria: An evaluation committee will be appointed by the County Administrator according to the County's Purchasing Policies and Procedures. The specific evaluation process will be outlined in the RFI/RFP; however, proposed evaluation criteria and points are as follows: Evaluation of Criteria Maximum Evaluation Points Corporate & Managerial/Operational Experience 15 Proven Technology&Technical Approach 25 Waste Diversion Potential 25 Financial Proposal 35 Total Points Possible 100 Next Steps KCI's research, experience, and work with other Florida jurisdictions confirms the existence of potentially viable processing technologies and private sector interest in developing processing infrastructure in Florida. The only way to truly evaluate the viability of a public-private partnership to develop processing infrastructure that substantially increases the County's recycling rate and that meets the County's specific needs is to proceed with the RFI/RFP process. Should the SWDD Board approve proceeding with an RFI/RFP for solid waste processing and recycling services, next steps and a proposed timeline are offered below. kessler consulting inc. innovative waste solutions 269
