The County of Orange, N.C. on behalf of its Department of Solid Waste Management (hereinafter "County") is seeking proposals .for collection and disposal services for the County's Food Waste and Organic Waste Collection from selected businesses or other Locations in Orange County, North Carolina, including participating local governments and public school systems. 1. INTRODUCTION, BACKGROUND, AND POTENTIAL PROGRAM CHANGES- Orange County began experimenting with commercial food waste diversion in the mid 1990s, working with two local small-scale pig farmers to collect food waste from a few restaurants ahd a few Iocafi city elementary schools for cooking and feeding to their hogs. These programs were very constrained because they could accept only food waste, not wet paper or any other'organic waste', only that suitable fior cooking and feeding to pigs. Both hog farmers stopped this collection by 1998 for economic reasons. In 1999, the Co~~nty contracted with a private collector to collect and compost a wider variety of .commercial organic waste that included not only food but also other- materials such as wet paper and`floral waste that were. readily compostable. Under the current contract material is currently collected from a variety of commercial sources in Orange County, transported to a composting operation and converted to compost. Over time, the Courity expanded the program. to include a variety-of higher volume restaurants, grocery stores, institutions~and multiple stops on the UNC campus including collection of lab animal-bedding. The lower limit for collecting is-set at two tons per month per location. Average collection rate is three times per week and-receptacles are washed out as they are collected. County staff identified, contacted, recruited and educated the waste generators, established the program and responds to complaints about product quality. As of March 2011 rthere are 31 customers and collection of UNC lab animal bedding by the County- has been eliminated. The County hopes to expand to other locations around the County in the future. A. Program Data: The following- table provides a breakdown of the approximate- amounf of organic waste collected by Orange County's current Food 1Naste and Organic Waste Collection program from approximately 31 sites including grocery stores, full service restaurants, institutions, retirement homes _and other commercial enterprises. The County intends to-provide organics collection service to at least the current client base and wishes to expand the service to-include more stops. The reporting periods in the chart below are based on County's Fiscal Year (FY). The Fiscal-Year Is July 1 through June 30, for example FY 09-10 =July 1, 2009 though June 30, 2010. FiscalYear Tons-Collected _ 07-OB 1,760.57 08-09 1,702.00 09-i 0 1, 782.62 10-11 (July 10 =January 11) 1,204.20 B.

Chapel Hill -Carrboro City Schools have ten elementary schools,. four middle schools, and three high schoo.is. Within the next two years the County may establish a pilot program to determine the capability of a comprehensive schools food waste and organic waste collection program.

What is the current pricing for the services? Are any fuel/energy surcharges applicable? Can we view a recent invoice? Include any fuel/energy surchases in yout bid. Attached is -a copy of an invoice 2. What does it mean under "D. Container Description" to have a "properly sealed" container? We understand about non-leaking containment, but this seems to be referring to something else. ?The container must have a lid or cover that closes tightly or is flush with the body of~ the container t~o prevent rodents or any.other vectors from crawling in. 3. If the carts are required to have liners, vvhy ar-e #hey also required to be cleaned after each service? Are all containers serviced after each service, without fail? Presently, in what manner are they-cleaned? ?The carts are-not required to have liners. Only a few places use liners. Even in the case of the lined containers, if bags breaks and/or the lids get food waste on them, they are washed out. Ali containers are currently cleaned after every service. The 65 gallon carts and the 6/8 yard dumpsters. They are sprayed out with a power washer using hot water and degreaser/sanitizes and~then the water is-captured in the truck with the organic waste. 4. fn gone place under "Proposal Deadline" the RFP references Thursday, May 17'h as the submission date, but May 17~' is a Tuesday. Is May 17'h the correct day? N/A 5. This RFP could be seen as having a very short turn-around timeframe for responses. Is it possible have an extension of one week far proposal submission and one month for service start up? Getting specialized equipment in place in such a limited. time will be difficult. The due date has been extended until May 24, 2011 at 5:00 pm. The first day of new Food.Waste and Organic Waste-Contract shall 'be September 1, 2011. 6. While the service locations are listed, is it possible. to expand the- list to include the size of containers and service fr-egUencies? An -invoice may supply that data.?

This requires good judgment on part of the food residuals collection manager.as to which locations will regr~ire immediate action in. the form of backup equipment, and which locations are not time-sensitive. Fn the event that a waste generator is not fully satisfied with the condition orappear-ante of carts for reasons including but not limited to appearance, the contractor takes full responsibility in making sure the problem is corrected and the customer is satisfied. Brooks Contractor strives to hold the health and safety standards of applicable local and federal laws with utmost importance in r-egards to the cleanliness and appearance of Brooks' containers used forfood residuals collection. Any fallen foods on the ground are shoveled into the tipper. Liquids (other than water spray)-are cleaned with Oil-Dri (see attached MSDSJ, an absorbent powder. The material isthen shoveled into the truck and hauled with the food waste to be composted. Brooks' employees will work to reduce excess spray from the pressure cleaning ofcarts-and dumpsters. All excess water resultingfrom the cleaning of carts will be emptied back into the truck and hauled to Brooks Compost Facility and will be composted along tnrith the County'-s organic wastes..l.n the event of any fluid spills fr-orri the truck, fluids will be contained using an emergency shut-off valve and excess fluids will be absor-bed using Oil-Dri. As a precaution, Brooks also uses environmentally-friendly hydraulic oil. , V-600 Vulcan on-board truck scales are utilized to provide weights with each tip. Each stop is weighed individually. This system is designed to weigh one dumpster or several'carts together. All vdeights are stored electronically and downloaded by~office personnel a-minimum-of twice/week, but can be accessed=and downloaded at any time. Weights are compiled by location in a spreadsheet that includes the date, number of carts or dumpsters tipped, and weight of composta~ble waste collected. Specific time of collection is not included but is often accessible should it be needed. While a spreadsheet is provided for each month's service, up-to-date weights shall be provided to the customer in a timely manner when requested. After carts are tipped, the waste will be transported to Brooks Compost Facilit-y (SWC-19-05) to be received via on-site scales (as another method to check the-accuracy of on--board truck scales).and homogenously mixed with other organics for processing and composting, The finished product is sold at significantly reduced rates to local farms, in an effort to reduce the cost of critical nutrient and organic matter inputs, as welt as increase the economic feasibility of expanding such farms that provide to local communities. 3.

We believe Brooks Contractor has provided exceptional service ar~d showed great willingness to work with our customer-s. At some sites, we have done this by providing minor modifications to our service that benefit the waste generator greatly, although it may provide more wor-k fo-r Brooks Contractor and its employees. We strive to satisfy the customst's needs and assist in any way passible to lessen the.burden_and create a positive attitude surrounding food-diversion. 6. Technical Expertise Brooks Contractor and Brooks Compost Facility are in good standing with all local and state regulatory agencies. BrooksContractorhos been responsible for operating a faorl-collection and composting program for approximately twelve years, and was one of the first in.the couhtry to develop a program of its kind. Through the vision and common-sense approach-of founder Dean Brooks, Orange County Solid Waste found asolution to agr--owing organics recycling need. Together with the county, the er-ooks team was able to envision a "closed loop" system in which the county`s organics waste stream could become a valuable re-introduction to the_county's landscape and farming system and the coun~tyrs food suppliers. It's awin-win situation for all parties involved, and everyone has regained a sustainable approach. Brooks Contractor is proud to have provided the county with working solutions then, and would be proud to continue meeting and exceeding theirexpectations in working together towards a common goal surrounding along-standing relationship. Outside of the county we service nearly 70 locations .including several universities, government agencies, large groceries, restaurants, schools, and RTP cafeterias. Afterjoining our food residuals collection, many customers have been able to reduce their total waste stream, as well as divert high percentages of organics from the waste stream. In addition to regularly serviced customers, there has been a rise in the number of special events in which Brooks collects organics from on aone-time basis. As with all customers, Brooks works with the individualized needs of the client to determine the best solution regardless of the amount of waste produced. We see every client, small or large, as a valuable customer that we can help to meet their goals. Brooks Contractor does not limit itself on current collection methods to meet its ever-growing client base. As the needs.of the industry change, we are prepared to offer services outside our current scope of work that may better suit potential clients. This may include but is not limited to innovative equipment designed specifically for optimization of food residuals collection. Brooks .Contractor will continue to put the customer first, providing appropriate equipment to handle organic waste streams in a mannerthat is effective and productive. ~ ~ '. 7. Projec# Approach Brooks Contractor wishes to continue providing food residuals collection and composting services to Orange County Solid Waste with a seamless transition into the proposed contract to collect organics. Brooks Contractor and Brooks Compost Facility would be pleased to have the opportunity to continue the closed loop system..that has addressed.the Cou'nty's needs since 1999. Please see preceding areas within the proposal for more information-concerningprnject approach. The following addresses areas of concern not mentioned elsewhere in the contract. BrQOks will provide scheduled services permitting roadways are passable and containers are accessible. During snow and/or ice Brooks may delay scheduled pickups to mid-morningor 12 noon to allow for major roadways to be cleared. brooks will only proceed with schedule alterations upon discussion with and approval fram.the County's designated contact. In the event of predicted severe weather that has the potentiai to-halt area roadway travel, and upon clearance of the County's point of contact,~roolCS may_opt to. dispatch an additional truck prior to when severe weather conditions are to impact the area in order to avoid dangerous roadway conditions. This insures that serviced containers will not be subject to overflow. Brooks will do all in its power to honor -existing contracts and'commitments during severe weather. 8.

The above listed includes trucks that will collect on a daily basis, as well as. back up collection vehicles and_other vehicles designed to collect food waste in larger quantities, or otherwise from yearly special events. Other collection methods that utilize larger van trailers (not listed above) are available should the county need to modify collection protocol for ruew or larger waste generators. All trucks carrying incoming waste materials to be composted at Brooks Compost Facility are weighed un- certified truck scales upon entering the•facility with each toad. ALL MATERIALS COLLECTED IN-BROOKS .CONTRACTOR'S SPECIALLY-DESIGNED FOOD WASTE COLLECTION TRUCKS ARE HAULED TO~ BROOKS COMPOST FACILITY FOR COMPOSTING. Understand that other customer's materials may be included with the load. Daily scale tickets pertaining to the county's waste will be provided upon request. Materials received-with the load that•are notcompostable maybe-sorted and hauled-to a.landfill-or recycled. . Please accept the following as a simple description of the daily operations of Brooks Compost Facility. The compos# facility is situated on the Brooks family land that was previously utilized for dairy and agriculture purposes. The facility is located on the same tract of land at 1195 deal Road in Goldston that Brooks Contractor manages-and operates. [Various wastes-or "feedstocks" entar our facility and are weighed-to track tonnages and for reporting Purposes. Wood wastes and other "bulking materials" are stored and'used as needed, whereas other nitrogenous materials (such as food waste) are immediately homogenously mixed to.begin the composting process. The mixture will almost immediately begin a.'temperature-rise and the composting_ process begins. "Windrows" (long, narrow piles orrows) ar-e formed from the mixture and we let Mother Nature d~o her work. Our goal asa commercial compost facility is to speed up nature's processes. We do this by making sure the microbes that are responsible for breaking down organics are given an optima:l-environment to work. When the beneficial decomposing microbes are at an optimal temperature range (131-155 F), harmful microbes and pathogens are destroyed. Windrows are monitored closely and aerated with a "windrow turner" which also inverts the windrow to make sure that all materials reach the proper temperature .requirements. Moisture from the facility's stormwater pond is added when needed, ail the while abiding by PFRP (Process to Further Reduce Pathogens) standards in the compost industry. The facility is able to utilize the excess stormwater in cooling down windrows; which provides another opportunity to re-introduce nutrients into the.compost. On average, the active composting phase lasts 3-4 months. The windrows are then moved to large curing piles for stabilization, and will remain there for at least 1 year unless a shorter curing time is required by the end user. Screening the compost to %:' is the last step before marketing and selling the compost. Oversized materials (like larger pieces of wood) will go back through the process, and may take several cycles to break down. Our compost is sold for use in landscaping, food production, athletic fields, erosion control, and generally as a.n amendment where poor soil hinders plant growth or more nutrient value is needed.] Michael Scot# Solid Waste Section Chief NC DENR-Division of Waste Management 919-50&8497 ' mizhael.scott@ncdem'.gov Michael Scott is in charge of our permit and operations oversight and will be glad to answer any questions you may have concerning our permit and operations at Brooks Compost Facility. The facility has had no written violations or citations within the last two years,, and does not have any pending litigation. We are in good standing with NCDENR and all local agencies, and serve as a model facility for the compost industry. Brooks Compost Facility believes in working together with state and local officials and surrounding communities to provide real world solut(ons to a growing population that place a significant value on health and environmental concerns. Brooks Contractor is currently working on a project that would bring a fiigh-solids anaerobic digester to Brooks Compost Facility. Proposed project completion date is-currently set for September of 2012. We anticipate this project to bring the company an even stronger commitment to providing services and products at increasingly affordable prices. As a composter and provider of quality and nutrient dense soli amendments, we feel an anaerobic digester is the last step in complete utilization of~a waste product. Please see attached permit #SWC-19-05 Please see attached hauler rcense 9. Pr'rcing_ Brooks Contractor wishes, for the third fiscal year straight, to maintain their pricing for the food residuals collection contract. Pricing shall maintain as follows: Cost per ton- $80.00 Cost per finer- $L00 Used cooking oil collection is to remain a free service at the disposal of all food waste generators. No Brooks Contractor~employees performing work.related to~ this RFP will be making less than Orange County's living wage of $10.33 per hour. 10. Financial Capability and-Insurance If chosen to continue. providing food residuals collection and composting services to the County, Brooks Contractor will not have to make modifications to equipment or purchase any additional containers for service. The contractor shall have additional replacement containers in storage at all times should they be needed. Financially, Brooks Contractor is fully equipped and eager to respond to the growing needs of the County, and is able to expand its services beyond the scope of work should the County's needs . change. 8 Once the County's waste is put into Brooks Contractor's collection containers, the waste is the property and responsibility of Brooks Contractor. Proper measures shall 6e taken to meet or exceed all applicable regulation within the collection, transport, and composting of organics received.

HAZARDS iDEN'I'ff~TCATION • EMERGENCY OVERVIEW This product is anon-combustible, chemically inert mineral. This mineral sample. contains a small amount of naturally-occurring crystalline silica as quartz. Prolongedoverexposure to respirable crystalline silica may cause lung disease {silicosis). IARC, in Monograph 68, has concluded that erystalline silica inhaled in the form of quartz from occupational sources is carcinogenic to humans (Group 1); however, narcinogenicity was not detected- in al[ industrial circumstances studied Because applications and exposure data indidate that exposure to respirable quartz in this product with normal use is well belowthe OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) and ACG1H Threshold Limit Value (TLV); and because the company is-not aware of any scientific or medical data available indicating that exposure to dust from this product under conditions. of normal use will cause silicosis or cancer; adverse effects would not be expected from normal use of this product. HEALTH HAZARDS INGESTION: No adverse effects expected with unused material INHALATION: Inhalation of excessive concentrations of dust may cause irritation of mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract. EYE: ~ Contact may cause mechanical irritation and possible injury. Ste; No adverse effects expected SENSITIZATTON: No adverse effects expected. CIIRONIC/CA.RCINOGENICITY: Inhalation of excessive concentrations of any dust, including this material, may lead to lung injury. '.Phis product contains crystalline silica. Excessive inhalation of respirable crystalline silica may cause silicosis, a progressive, disabling and fatal disease of the lung. Symptoms may include cough, shortness of breath, wheezing and reduced puhnonary function. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), in Monograph 68 has concluded that crystalline silica inhaled in the form of quartz or cristobalite, from occupational sources is carcinogenic to humans (Group 1).
