o the local applicants. It has its own set of problems but it also alleviates a whole other set of problems with quantities, certified cubic yardage of trucks, load call discrepancies that come up during the process, so we are going to have to decide which way we want to have the City accept for billing purposes on yardage or tons. 3. The process that the North Dade Site used during Hurricane Wilma was cubic yards. We have seen them do both. They are encouraging applicants to go to tonnage because it does alleviate a lot of problems. Some of the biggest problems that they are finding with Federal funding is the inaccuracies of truck certifications and discrepancies on load calls or no load calls at all. It is very rare that you are going to have all your trucks at 100% full. 4. Something that you may want to take into consideration, we ran the Dade County Site in the last storm and the limitations that they put on us was only one tower. The wait was up to two hours and that was by the yard, if you go by the ton the wait is up to six hours. 5. To my understanding we all have to obtain an Occupational License here if we are awarded the contract as it states in page 7, or Section 3.24 you talk about submitting a local Occupational License. We don't have to go ahead and obtain a license here to submit a bid? A copy must be provided with the RFP, Section 22 - RFP check list lists it as included with the RFP and Section 9.7 asks for the license numbers. o 6. In the insurance requirement on page 5, Section 3.9.4, it indicates that you want copies of the certificates of insurance attached to the RFP, is that correct, or is that after award of bid? That would be after the award. 7. Cubic yard vs. tonnage, did you say it can go either way depending on the availability of a scale? The suggestions are to get both prices to see which way that we want to advise the City to use because FEMA is encouraging the tonnage rate to do it by weight instead of by cubic yardage, but most everyone down here has done it by cubic yardage in the past. We don't know that there are enough scales available for temporary site use down here for rental by local applicants to use that, you don't want to wait six (6) hours per truck to go to a scale, so it is going to depend on some logistical issues, and that is one of the things we are trying to work out right now with the County is to have the availability of a temporary site should we need it otherwise it is just going to go straight to the final disposal and if the wait times are going to be bad then we are probably going to do it on a cubic yardage basis. o 8. Will the contractor be required to supply the scale? That is not in the proposal, right now we don't have a temporary site. It would be one of the County's and so that would depend on whether the County decides to utilize that method and we are not sure that they are going to go in that direction. It would likely be a function of the disposal facility. SASQ917757 Page 4 of 7
