Brooks Contractor, Inc. Proposed Contract Amendment PURPOSE: To approve an amendment renewing the contract with Judy D Brooks Contractor, Inc. that enables the County Solid Waste Management Department to provide collection for separated food waste and other organic materials to commercial and institutional establishments throughout Orange County. BACKGROUND: Orange County Solid Waste Management has been collecting food waste from selected establishments since the mid-1990s, originally utilizing two local pig farmers. Due to stringent quality controls necessary with regard to contaminants for food waste being fed to animals, the program ended in 1999. In 2000 Orange County entered into a new food waste collection arrangement. The method of providing this service was reevaluated in 2011. Proposals were received as a result of a request for proposals (RFP) issued in May 2011. A detailed RFP created by Orange County allowed vendors to propose food and organic waste collection. The RFP authorized a five year initial contract term, with the County having the option to renew the Contract for two additional two year terms. Four vendors submitted proposals. After reviewing each firm, Judy D. Brooks Contractor, Inc. of Goldston, North Carolina was deemed as submitting the most responsive proposal and was contracted to provide the food and organic waste collection and composting service. The proposal of $80 per ton, the same price that has been in place since 2005, was maintained. Brooks Contractor has provided food and organic waste collection and composting services to Orange County since 2000 and currently services 45 locations, including UNC Hospitals, pursuant to the contract with the County. Brooks provides collection containers, collects food and other acceptable organic waste, and composts material at its facility in Chatham County. 2 Under separate contract, Brooks Contractor also provides this service to the Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools at the same price. For FY 2015-16 the County's food and organics waste program is projected to divert 1,620 tons of compostable material from landfill disposal. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The renewal will maintain the current per ton price of $80 for the two year extension period. The cost of this contract for Fiscal Year 2015-2016 is budgeted at $145,000. The requested budget submitted to the County Manager for 2016-17 for this program is $155,000. SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: There is no Orange County Social Justice Goal impact associated with this item. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the amendment to renew the service contract with Brooks to collect and compost food waste and authorize the Manager to sign the Contract Amendment. 3 [Departmental Use Only] TITLE FY NORTH CAROLINA SERVICES AGREEMENT OVER$90,000.00 RFP NO REIMBURSABLE EXPENSES ORANGE COUNTY This Services Agreement (hereinafter"Agreement"), made and entered into this 21st day of June, 2011, ("Effective Date") by and between Orange County, North Carolina a body politic and corporate of the State of North Carolina (hereinafter, the "County") and Judy D.

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 to prevent rodents or any ithervectors from crawling in. 3. If the carts are required to have liners, why are they also required to be cleaned after each service?Are all containers serviced after each service, without fail? Presently, in what mariner 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. All 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/sanitizer and-then the water is-captured in the truck with the organic waste. 4. in'one place under''Proposal Deadline"the RFP references Thursday, May 171h as the submission date, but May 17th is a Tuesday. Is May 171h 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 for 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 compost 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 Pa/Road in Goldston that Brooks Contractor manages-and operates.

"Windrows"(long, narrow piles or rows)are formed from the mixture and we let Mother Nature do her Work.Our goal as-a 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 optimal-environment to work.When the beneficial decomposing microbes are at an optimal temperature range L131-1SS F),harmful microbes and pathogens are destroyed.Windrows are mon|tbreddooe|yandaeratedvv|tha"mdndrnwturner"vvhicha|so |nverbthevv|ndrowtomokesuoe '• that all materials reach the propertemperaturerequirements. Moisture from the facility's stormwatar pond is added when needed,all 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 W' 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 an amendment where poor soil hinders plant growth or more nutrient value is needed.] . . . 36 ` ' . . . ^ ' Michael Scott ' • Solid Waste Section Chief • ' NC DENR-Division of Waste Management 919-508,8497 michael,scott@ncdenr.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 writténviolations or citations within the last two years,.and does not have any pending litigation.We are In good standing with NCDENR arid all local agencIes,and serve as a model facility for the compos Industry.Brooks Compost Facility believes in working together with state arid local officials and surrounding communities to provide real World solutions to a growing population that place a significant value on health and enyironmental concerns, Brooks .

HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION EMERGENCY OVERVIEW This product is a non-combustible,chemically inert mineral. This mineral sample contains a small amount of • naturally-occurring crystalline silica as quartz. Prolonged_overexposure to respirable crystalline silica may cause lung disease(silicosis). IARC,in Monograph 68,has concluded that crystalline silica inhaled in the form of quartz from occupational sources is carcinogenic to humans(Group 1);however,.carcinogenicity was not detected- in all industrial circumstances studied. Because applications and exposure data indicate that exposure to respirable quartz in this product with normal use is well below-the OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit(EEL)and ACGIH 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 mechanicalirritation and possible injury. SKIN: No adverse effects expected. SENSITIZATION: No adverse effects-expected. CHRONICJCARCINOGENICITY: Inhalation of excessive concentrations of any dust,including this material,may lead to lung injury, This 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 pulmonary function.
