Section 3 I Scope of Services Lastly, as part of this task, SAIC will estimate a range of the total quantities of materials that the City would expect to receive at the drop-off facility based on the selected primary material types and projected household participation. This estimate will be used in developing the facility program plan in Task 3. Task 3 - Conduct Facility Programming for the Recycling Drop-off Center SAIC will develop a facility programming plan for the services needed at the Recycling Center based on the evaluation of the current programs, SAIC's experience with solid waste facility development, and discussions with City staff regarding the future needs for the facility. The facility programming plan will address the various design and operating parameters of the potential drop-off facility. Key non -site specific issues to be addressed would include, but not be limited to, the following: • Site size and overall footprint; • Building size and general facility layout; • Traffic flow; • Equipment (e.g., containers, rolling stock) needs; • Hours of operation and staffing; and • Other related issues. It is anticipated that processing capabilities at the facility will be limited to the use of a baler, and will not include sorting processes or equipment. The Pahoa Transfer Station described above incorporated innovative and sustainable concepts into the facility design by using recycled concrete from construction demolition sites in both construction and the landscaping of the site, and integrated recycled glass and shredded tires into the landscape design. These sustainability concepts could be considered as part of the facility programming for the City's recycling drop-off center. As part of the facility programming task, SAIC will prepare a non -site specific, conceptual level drawing of the proposed recycling drop-off center. This rendering will be supported by a summary description that addresses the key facility issues listed above. Task 4 - Evaluate Options for Implementation This task focuses on investigating the preferred arrangement of the public -private partnership for implementing the development and long term operations of the recycling drop-off center. During the scoping meeting, we will discuss the City's preference, if any, for a public —private partnership for the implementation of the drop-off center. This task also will involve identifying potential sites that would accommodate the proposed facility. SAIC staff will discuss with the City potential sites owned by the City and their suitability for the proposed drop-off center. In addition, potential sites identified through discussion with private vendors will be discussed for their general suitability. SAIC Energy, Environment & Infrastructure, LLC I 3-3
