Addendum 1
TO ALL PROSPECTIVE PROPOSERS
This is an Addendum to and shall be considered as part of the original Proposal package for the above
mentioned RFP. Please acknowledge receipt of Addendum 1 in space provided on Price Sheet.
Proposers are requested to acknowledge receipt of this Addendum with their Proposal.
RESPONSES TO QUESTIONS RECEIVED:
1. Proposed Schedule
-Page 10: Proposals due by August 14
Will the County entertain an extension of the deadline for the submission of proposals, perhaps an
additional 30 days? There are numerous issues which must be addressed, and it is possible that
additional preparation time for responses could be beneficial to the County.
RESPONSE: The County will entertain requests for additional time at the mandatory pre-proposal
meeting on August 2, 2012.
2. Construction and demolition debris
-Page 11 : States that C&D will not be a part of the exclusive franchise
-Page 32: Sect. 2(3) seems to indicate that C&D is exclusive
f am seeking confirmation that C&D is not part of the exclusive franchise.
RESPONSE: C&D is not part of the exclusive franchise agreement and will not be included in the
future franchise.
3. Evaluation and Selection Process
-Page 25: Evaluation is based 50% on price.
I' m working from memory at the moment and will review the video of the 8/18/2011 Sol id Waste
Workshop the Board conducted, but I recall the commission, by consent , specifically establishing
price at 30% unless something has changed in the interim.
RESPONSE: While the Board did suggest 30 to 35%, there was also discussion regarding seeking
consultant and committee engagement. The RFP reflects the consensus that was arrived at.
4. Hours of Service
-Page 13: Hours of residential service are stated at 6am-8pm Monday-Friday
-Page 38 & Page 40: Residential hours of service at 7am-8pm, with only Sunday being excluded.
What are the correct available days of service and allowable hours of service for residential
collection?
RESPONSE: Hours of operation are to be the following:
6:00a.m. to 8:00p.m. Monday through Friday for residential customers
6:00a.m. to 8:00p.m. Monday through Saturday for commercial customers
5. Additional Fees
-Page 14 & Page 33: Collector can propose additional fees for additional carts requested by
residents. No mention is made as to how the resident is billed the fee for additional carts. Would
residents be billed by assessments on a trailing basis, or would the collector have to bill and collect
fees for additional residential carts?
RESPONSE: The Collector would be responsible for billing.
6. Customer Service
-Page 40-41 : Collector's operations center (office) shall be located in Brevard County. Collector
shall operate a staffed local toll-free complaint center.
Please clarify whether "local " is applicable to the toll-free nature of the call (via a local or 800 toll
free number for customers to use) or if "local" is applicable to the complaint/customer service
center's physical location.
RESPONSE: Local refers to a local telephone number
7. Annual CPI Adjustment
-Page 16 & 43: CPI calculation will be based on April-over-April CPI change and the collector will
submit a request by May 15 (page 43).
CPI data is not typically published until midway through the month following, so April data is not
generally available until on or after May 15. The current procedure is to use April-April data and
submit by June 1 and even that timeframe is short. Will the County entertain keeping May 15, but
use March-March data, or make delivery of the CPI notice by the collector due on June 15 as
possible options?
RESPONSE: Please change to April to March (twelve month period) and the collector will submit a
request by May 15.
8. Currently the County Solid Waste facilities are open until 5:30p.m. generally and 4:30p.m. on
Tuesdays. If the start of residential collection is delayed until 7:00a.m., will County facilities remain
open later?
RESPONSE: There are currently no plans to change the operating hours of our facilities.
The proposal due date and time remains August 14, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. Proposals received after
this time will not be accepted.

All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.

Addendum 3
RESPONSES TO QUESTIONS FROM PRE-PROPOSAL MEETING:
1. Please clarify revenue for recyclables. Page 6 of the Price Form requests pricing for recycling
revenue based on a market index, page 34 (#7) states that the COUNTY retains ownership of
recyclables and the right to competitively select buyer for recyclables, and page 43 (#14) states the
COLLECTOR shall pay 50% of gross sales revenues for recyclables.
RESPONSE: Page 6 of the Price Form reflects the recycling revenue formula the County intends to
use in the new contract. Because the revenue formula that will be used is based on an independent
market index, the County no longer deems it necessary to retain ownership of recyclables after
collection. In the new contract, ownership of recyclables will transfer to the COLLECTOR upon
collection. In addition, the revenue sharing language on page 43 will be replaced. Provided below is
an explanation of the recycling revenue formula that will be incorporated into the new contract.
COLLECTOR shall pay the COUNTY monthly for each ton of residential recyclable materials
collected by the COLLECTOR, as determined by the inbound weight tickets at the COLLECTOR'S
selected facility, whether a materials recovery facility (MRF) or a facility for transloading/transferring
recyclables. The payment per ton shall be calculated as follows:
Each month, the COLLECTOR shall calculate the Average Market Value (AMV) of the COUNTY'S
residential recyclable materials, defined as the sum of the Southeast USA regional average
commodity prices (U.S. Dollars per Ton) first posted in the month for which payment is being made
in SecondaryMaterialsPricing.com and SecondaryFiberPricing.com multiplied by the composition
percentages of the COUNTY'S residential recyclable materials, as defined in the table below, which
calculates the AMV for April 2012.

* Market indexes to be used are SecondaryFlberPncmg.com and SecondaryMaterialsPnclng.com .
Prices to be used are the first published Regional Average prices for the Southeast USA in the month
for which payment is being made. For the purposes of this example, the first published prices in April
2012 are utilized. The index descriptions are solely for the purpose of identifying which material index is
being used to calculate the AMV and is in no way intended to reflect how the COLLECTOR packages,
transports or markets the material.
** The index used for plastics #3-#7 is 45% of index for Plastics Comingled 1-7. This is based on
comparative information provided by staff at Secondary Materials Pricing.
If at any time during the term of this contract SecondaryMaterialsPricing.com or
SecondaryFiberPricing.com no longer post or otherwise provide the applicable market indices, then
the parties shall mutually select an appropriate replacement source for the required information
form among the sources recycling industry professionals utilize to obtain reliable recovered material
pricing information.
Fifty dollars ($50.00) shall be deducted from the AMV, and COLLECTOR shall pay the COUNTY a
percentage, which is to be proposed by Proposer on page 6 of the Price Form, of the remaining
amount for each ton of in-bound residential recyclable materials delivered to the COLLECTOR'S
facility during that month. The fifty dollar ($50.00) deduction from the AMV shall remain fixed for the
full term of the contract. At no time shall the COUNTY make payment to the COLLECTOR for
processing residential recyclable materials, even if the AMV falls below $50.00.
Page 6 of the Price Form provides and example calculation of the revenue sharing formula using
the April 2012 AMV and an assumed revenue share percentage of 75% for the purposes of the
example. Proposers are to insert on the Price Form what percentage of the AMV less the
COLLECTOR'S Fee of $50 it will share with the County, which mayor may not be 75%.
2. How many clam trucks are used to service the contracts?
RESPONSE: To the best of our know/edge there are nine (9) clam trucks that service the contract.
There are four (4) in the North Service Area and five (5) in the South Service Area.
2
3. What is the billable amount at the gate?
RESPONSE: The following payments were made by Service Area:
South-Residential $ 16,931
South-Commercial $132,153
North-Residential $ 2,685
$359,287
4. Will the pilot program of carts in the barrier island continue?
RESPONSE: Yes, there are about 1,000 homes serviced by the program.
5. How will points for Cost be assigned?
RESPONSE: Cost is considered to be an objective criteria. The lowest priced proposal shall
receive the maximum weighted score for the price criteria. The other proposals should receive a
percentage of the weighted score based on the percentage differential between the lowest proposal
and the other proposals. All weighted scores are then multiplied by the maximum score available
(i.e. 5%) to determine the total percentage awarded. An example is as follows:
VENDOR PRICE %AWARDED x WEIGHT = WEIGHTED SCORE
A $20,000 (100%) x 50% = 50%
8 $25,000 (80%)* x 50% = 40%
C $28,000 (71%)** x 50% = 36%
*Vendor 8 's percentage is $20,0001$25,000 =80%
**Vendor C's percentage is $20,0001$28,000 = 71%
WRITTEN QUESTIONS RECEIVED:
1. Page 30 - Definition of Recyclable Material - this definition is far broader than the list on Exhibit C.
Can the County clarify the definition to match limit it to the items listed on Exhibit C, subject to
adding additional items by mutual agreement of the parties, to avoid confusion?
RESPONSE: Page 30 is a part of the draft agreement and should not be used to determine the
response to this RFP. In instances where there are conflicts between the draft contract agreement
and the RFP, please use the RFP for purposes of the response to the same.
2. Page 30 and 34 state "All buyers and contract must be approved by the County. County may select
the buyers and require the materials to be sold to such buyer." This implies that while the County
owns the materials, the Collector must handle all contractual arrangements for the sales of such
materials, subject to the full approval of the County. This looks like legacy language and could be a
credit risk and price risk, and its applicability is voided by the County's desire to have its rebate
calculated based upon market index values rather than actual sales. Since the RFP's Brevard
Pricing sheet stipulates revenue share payments to the County are based on indexed pricing and
are the contractor's responsibility, can this provision be struck or changed to show the Contractor is
the owner of the material once picked up and the payment is a separate transaction?
RESPONSE: Please see response to pre-proposal meeting Question 1.
3
3. Page 34 - Please clarify the provISion that requires the contractor provides "open market"
commercial recycling and consider stipulating that the contractor owns the recyclables collected
from commercial sources and these are not program tons for the purposes of the Brevard Pricing
Sheet Revenue Share to the County.
response to the RFP. In instances where there are conflicts between the draft contract and the
RFP, please use the RFP for purposes of the response to the same. Commercial recycling is an
open market and as such the revenues derived form this activity are not part of any revenue sharing
calculation of this RFP.
4. Page 43 #14. State that the COLLECTOR shall pay fifty percent (50%) of the gross sales revenues
for recyclable materials. Please clarify that this is outdated language and the Excel "Brevard Pricing
Sheet for Brevard Proposal" is the operative method of material rebate to the County.
RESPONSE: Please see response to Pre-proposal Meeting Question #1.
5. There is no provision for fixing the composition of the material for subject revenue share payment.
Please consider adding language for an initial material composition audit process on the material
prior to contract start, with future composition studies available at either party's request, no less
frequent than annually, for the purposes of utilizing the percentages on the Brevard Pricing Sheets
for inbound materials.
RESPONSE: The COLLECTOR or the COUNTY may conduct, at its own expense and no more
frequently than once per year, an audit of the composition of residential recyclable materials
collected by the COLLECTOR (i.e., in-bound at the COLLECTOR'S facility.) If the COLLECTOR
pays for the audit, the audit methodology and entity conducting the audit are subject to the
COUNTY'S approval. The COUNTY reserves the right to have a representative onsite throughout
the recycling composition audit. The COUNTY reserves the right to adjust the percentage
breakdown for residential recyclable materials utilized to calculate the AMV based on the results. of
such audit, or if the percentage composition of these materials changes substantially as a result of
changes in the COUNTY recycling program. Any adjustments to the composition percentages that
are approved by the COUNTY shall become effective the following month and shall remain effective
for the remainder of the term of the agreement, including any extensions, or until revised by a
subsequent composition audit.
6. Please clarify how the County will assess proposals for a recyclable material revenue share. It
would be preferable if the County would state a presumed number of tons that the revenue share
will be applied to, so proposer assumptions are consistent.
RESPONSE: A revised Price Form is being provided that includes the estimated tons of
recyclables collected annually. This tonnage is for the purpose of providing pricing for this RFP and
in no way guarantees the quantity of residential recyclables to be collected and processed by the
selected Proposer.
7. Please clarify that the County's preference is to own the 64 gallon residential collection carts. At
which point in the contract would the ownership transfer to the County (e.g., at initial delivery, or at
the end of the contract term)? If at delivery, are there any remedies to the Collector in the event of
early termination by the County that can be built into the agreement?
RESPONSE: One of the options in this RFP is for the County to own the 64 gallon carts.
Ownership would transfer at the end of the contract.
4
8. Page 6 - #42: County can cancel for convenience on 30 days' notice. Elsewhere in the RFP and
draft contract there are specific terms (7 years with a 3 year option) and specific causes for
cancellation. Please clarify the applicability of the cancellation for convenience on 30 days' notice.
RESPONSE: Please disregard this item which is superseded by the RFP.
9. Page 38 (first paragraph) states that yard waste preparation specifications at 4', 50 pounds and 12"
in diameter. Page 40 (Sect. 6, para 1) states that 'all other solid waste' will be prepared to a 24"
diameter. Please clarify this provision does not include yard waste.
RESPONSE: Chapter 94, Section 94-49(c), Brevard County Code Ordinances, states "All yard
trash not capable of being placed in a receptacle shall be neatly placed at the collection point and
shall be cut in lengths not to exceed four feet in length and 24 inches in diameter and 50 pounds in
weight. Yard trash not meeting the size and weight limits shall be considered as bulky solid waste.
For removal of such waste, the customer shall notify the collector that they desire a pick up and the
collector shall schedule a special collection. " The draft content will be update at time of signature to
reflect this.
1O. If base bid is selected, the residents already have 14 gallon recycle bins. Who will provide new or
replacement bins? If the hauler is responsible for replacement, will the bins be owned by the
hauler?
RESPONSE: The contractor is expected to provide new or replacement bins for residents not
having or needing additional bins. These bins will become the property of the County at delivery.
11. Is there any chance of an extension for this RFP? It only gives bidders less then two weeks after
the Mandatory pre bid.
RESPONSE: See Addendum 2 to the RFP which extended the due date to September 13, 2012.
12. Does the CRV Collection rate include yard waste services?
RESPONSE: Yes.
13. What is condominium Recreational Vehicle (no definition noted)? Are they mobile homes or
manufactured homes?
RESPONSE: CRV's are basically mobile homes that are attached temporarily to a fixed structure.
14. Will the county provide us with estimated tonnages for MSW, recycling and yard waste for each
service area?
RESPONSE: Please see attached file named: Tonnage Breakdown for Collection RFP.
Please note that these tonnages include the entire County, including municipalities. Recycling
tonnages are for the unincorporated area only.
15. If the automated option is selected and containers are provided by the hauler; does the hauler own
the carts or do they revert to the County?
RESPONSE: Please check the RFP, there is one option for the cart being owned by the contractor
and another option for the carts being owned by the County.
16. Who bills the residents if they request a second container?
5
RESPONSE: Please see Addendum 1 question 5.
17. Can the 20 roadside receptacles be replaced with 96 gallon carts if automation is selected?
RESPONSE: Yes.
18. Will the county consider limited yard waste to 6 cubic yard per pick up?
RESPONSE: No.
19. Please clarify Construction and demolition services. On page 11 of the RFP it states that C&D will
not be part of the contract, yet in the draft agreement on page 32 it give the contractor exclusive
rights to construction and demolition services.
RESPONSE: C&D is not part of the contract
20. Will the county provide a current copy of the routes (# of routes per day, location, productivity, etc.)?
RESPONSE: The County does not have this information.
21. Will the county reconsider the 11 .55% cap on the CPI for the seven year term to 18-20% or
completely eliminating? If not, would the County consider an alternate method and limit annual CPI
rates to 75% on the annual change?
RESPONSE: No. The County will not consider any CPI that does not have a cap. This would make
it impossible to determine a rate for the seven year life of the contract and increase the cost for the
County and its citizens.
22. If residential services are provided Monday through Friday, can the office hour be changed to
Monday thru Friday from 8:00-5:00pm (in line with residential service)? Alternately, would the
County consider limiting Saturday to 8-12pm in line with likely operational times? We will also
provide an emergency number to call after hours.
RESPONSE: The office hours can be changed. Please take note that we want the best service for
our residents and the hours of operation for the telephone services would remain 6:00 a.m. to 8:00
p.m., Monday through Saturday.
23. Page 43 section 11 . We do not consider roll off services or compactor services a special service. In
the agreement it gives the current hauler the exclusive right to retain those services. We believe it
was the intent of the county to allow the compactor leases as open market, but not the services that
any hauler should be able to perform as normal, regular service. It should be the awarded to the
winning contractor that should have the responsibility to haul those roll-offs and compactors.
RFP, please use the RFP for purposes of the response to the same. Roll-offs are used for non
MSW and thereby, are not part of the contract.
24. If the county selects to purchase the carts who will be responsible to assemble them and deliver
them to the residents?
RESPONSE: The contractor would be responsible for this service.
6
25. Would the County consider 95 gallon cart as the default in the RFP?
RESPONSE: No
26. Please clarify the intent as it pertains to single stream recycling. On page 34 the section 7, the
county has the option of electing competitively select buyers for the recyclable materials. Is it the
intent for the county to build a facility or designate a recycling facility? This is important as it
pertains to truck times to certain facilities.
RESPONSE: Please see response to Pre-Proposal Meeting Question #1.
27. Can the Proposer offer to provide a transfer station for transloading all single stream material to
approved MRFs in the state?
RESPONSE: The selected Proposer may transload recyclables to a state-approved/permitted MRF
of its choice. All costs of accepting, transferring, processing, and marketing recyclables shall be the
COLLECTOR's responsibility.
28. On page 43 it states that the collector shall pay 50% of gross revenues for recyclable materials, yet
on page 6 of 6 in the pricing spreadsheet the share is 75%. Which should we use?
RESPONSE: Please see response to Pre-Proposal Meeting Question #1.
29. Page 4, General Conditions, Section 18: Is the referenced training applicable to the services
provided? If so, please elaborate on the County's expectations.
RESPONSE: This section is not applicable to this RFP.
30. Page 6, General Conditions, Section 40: If the County "increases" any portion of the agreement, will
the total fees be increased if applicable?
RESPONSE: This section is not applicable to this RFP.
31. Page 17; Tab 3; Last Bullet : Can you please clarify that this information request is for
municipal/governmental contracts and not all service contracts?
RESPONSE: Please provide the information for municipal/governmental contracts.
32. Page 32, Solid Waste Collection Agreement. Section 2(2): Please clarify that the intent of the last
part (beginning "unless notification is given .. "). Does this mean that County can provide notice
revoking the renewal option which requires mutual agreement?
RESPONSE: The County can provide notice that it does not wish to invoke the renewal option. It
does not revoke something that it did not invoke.
33. Page 44, Solid Waste Collection Agreement, Section 9: Can you please clarify the definition of the
effective date? Under Section 2(2) it references 10/1/13 and under Section 10(1) it references the
date on which the last party executes the agreement.
RFP, please use the RFP for purposes of the response to the same.
7
34. Page 46, Solid Waste Collection Agreement, Section 11: Can these liquidated damages only be
charged for any month for which the legitimate complaints reach 20 or more as referenced in
Section 5?
RESPONSE: Yes.
35. Are the General Conditions and Scope of Services and Specifications incorporated into the
agreement? If so, if there are conflicts, how are those resolved?
RESPONSE: No.
36. Will the County permit proposer to terminate the agreement following written notice thereof and a
reasonable/designated period of time opportunity to cure?
RESPONSE: In that aspect it is the intention of the County to use similar language as the draft
contract.
37. Can the County provided establish recycling participation rates in each or both areas?
RESPONSE: 35%. Information is not available by Service Area.
38. The price forms request pricing for compaction rental equipment on a monthly basis. This type of
equipment is typically specialized and/or customized and can become quite expensive. Will the
County allow the haulers to negotiate this rate?
RESPONSE: The pricing for compaction equipment is meant to be an upper limit. If the contractor
so desires, they can negotiate a lower rate with the clients.
39. Will the County provide maps and/or schedules of existing service for each area?
RESPONSE: The County does not have this information
40. Section 94-92 of the County Code of Ordinances places requirements on the need to have a
collection agreement prior to collecting solid waste, excluding C&D or landclearing debris. Does the
County currently have processes and practices in place to enforce this section of the code? Will the
processes and practices be any different than current for the period of time covered by the
proposed contract?
RESPONSE: The current process starts with a complaint made to Code Enforcement. They are
in charge of enforcement. The practice will continue.
41 . Section 94-49 of the County Code of Ordinances (paragraphs a, b, c) outlines the resident
requirements for preparation of yard waste; paragraph (d) excludes vacant lots from collection
service; paragraph (e) states that contractors engaged in the landscaping or tree cutting business
shall be responsible for collection and disposal of the yard trash generated from their operations;
and, paragraph (f) states that persons engaged in clearing property shall be responsible for the
collection and disposal of the landclearing debris. Does the County currently have processes and
practices in place to enforce this section of the code? Will the processes and practices be any
different than current for the period of time covered by the proposed contract?
RESPONSE: The current process starts with a complaint made to Code Enforcement. They are in
charge of enforcement. The practice will continue.
8
42. Is there a minimum level of service requirement for active commercial properties in the County
(example: 1 x weekly service)?
RESPONSE: No.
Note: There are still some outstanding questions which will be answered in addendum 4 at a
later date and time.
ATTACHMENT:
A Revised Price Form is attached. Please replace the original Price Form with this revision.
Tonnages for the period of 7/1/2011 through 6/30/2012 are attached

Addendum 4
RESPONSES TO QUESTIONS:
1. In numerous different sections, it provides that the Board's decision is final and binding. Is it the
County's intent with these provisions to eliminate the proposer's legal remedies to seek redress in
litigation? The relevant references are Page 7, General Conditions, Section 46 ("to prevent ...
litigation" ... "shall be final, conclusive and binding"), Page 38, Solid Waste Collection Agreement,
Section 4(15)(B)(3) ("the decision of the Board shall be final"), Page 44, Solid Waste Collection
Agreement, Section 10(2) ("to prevent ... litigation" ... "shall be final and binding") and Page 49,
Solid Waste Collection Agreement, Section 15 ("to prevent ... litigation" .. . "shall be final, conclusive
and binding"). The issue is that the language either provides that the County or the Board decides
certain contract clarifications, disputes and/or proper performance with such decision being final
and binding . Usually, when two parties to a contract disagree on the application of contract terms,
the parties can agree to mediate, arbitrate or litigate the disagreement. In this situation, the question
is whether the Contractor has the right to challenge the "final and binding" decision in a legal
proceeding. While an unlikely event, it is important to understand what your rights are under the
contract on this issue .
RESPONSE: The intent is that the Board of County Commissioners decision in these instances
shall be final. This language will not change.
2. Page 5, General Conditions, Section 25: please clarify that a County employee owning stock in a
publicly-traded parent entity of the proposer does not trigger this provision.
RESPONSE: It does not appear that this section is triggered by a county employee owning stock in
a publicly-traded parent entity of the proposer. There may however be a prohibited conflict of
interest if any of the Brevard County Commissioners, procurement personnel, or voting selection
committee members own stock in a publicly-traded parent company.
3. Section 94-92 of the County Code of Ordinances places requirements on the need to have a
collection agreement prior to collecting solid waste, excluding C&D or landclearing debris. Does the
County currently have processes and practices in place to enforce this section of the code? Will the
processes and practices be any different than current for the period of time covered by the
proposed contract?
4. Section 94-49 of the County Code of Ordinances (paragraphs a, b, c) outlines the resident
requirements for preparation of yard waste; paragraph (d) excludes vacant lots from collection
service; paragraph (e) states that contractors engaged in the landscaping or tree cutting business
shall be responsible for collection and disposal of the yard trash generated from their operations;
and, paragraph (f) states that persons engaged in clearing property shall be responsible for the
collection and disposal of the land clearing debris. Does the County currently have processes and
practices in place to enforce this section of the code? Will the processes and practices be any
different than current for the period of time covered by the proposed contract?
5. Is there a minimum level of service requirement for active commercial properties in the County
(example: 1 x weekly service)?
RESPONSE: No.
6. What will happen if Merritt Island is incorporated during the term of this contract?
RESPONSE: If Merritt Island incorporates the County intends to permit the new municipality to
take the lead in the services currently under the County. That could include waste collection. The
draft agreement generally addresses the reality that land gets annexed into municipalities. Section
(1)(G), the definition of the collection area/service anticipates this change. Brevard County could,
and likely would continue to service Merritt Island under this agreement if Merritt Island requests us
to.

Addendum 5
RESPONSES TO QUESTIONS:
1. Does the contractor have to replace all residential carts and recycle bins at the beginning of the
contract or will the contractor replace them on an as needed basis?
RESPONSE: In the option of carts, the answer is yes. Under the status quo option, the current
recycling bins are the property of Brevard County and would have to be given to the homeowners
as determined in the contract.
2. Do we need to submit 2 separate bid packages for both service areas? Or can we include both
price forms in the tab 5 section?
RESPONSE: No, the Price Sheet takes into consideration the different service areas.
3. Does the county bill the residents which include multi-family and the contractor bills both
commercial and industrial businesses?
RESPONSE: Yes, the County bills all the residents, (SFR, Multi-Family, Apts., etc.) for collection on
the tax bill, the contractor bills all commercial businesses.
4. Do we include disposal rates for residential and multi-family solid waste, yard waste and recycle?
Or is the disposal a pass through?
RESPONSE: The disposal rates for residential solid waste, yard waste and recycling are included
in the disposal assessment and thereby are not charged at the gate.
5. Do we include disposal rates for commercial and industrial solid waste, yard waste and recycle?
RESPONSE: No, the disposal charges for solid waste and yard waste are charged through the
assessment. The recycling charges for commercial are not included in the assessment.
6. Is the Port, Patrick Air Force and Kennedy Space Center part of the RFP? If so are they exempt
from disposal?
RESPONSE: These areas are not part of the RFP. The port does pay through the disposal
assessment.
7. Is there a franchise? Admin Fee? If so is it a flat rate or percentage and does it apply to both
residents and businesses?
RESPONSE: There are no franchise or administrative fees.
8. The total combined number of residents ... is that all year round?
RESPONSE: If you are asking about the total number of residential billing units, then yes.
9. How many seasonal residents are there?
RESPONSE: In FY 2011 there were 158 vacancy adjustments approved. A 50% discount is
allowed for vacancy adjustments.
10. The industrial compactors - how many are self contained and how many are break away?
RESPONSE: That information is not available.
11 . Are all compactors provided by the contractor or do some businesses own their own? If so, can we
have a list?
RESPONSE: We are aware that some businesses own their own; however we do not have a list of
those.
12. The frontload containers 2 - 8 yards, are there any with wheels and lock bars? If so, can we have a
list?
RESPONSE: That information is not available.
13. Addendum 3 Revised Price Form, Page 1, line Item 13 & 22, Page 3, 4, & 5 line item 5 and page 6
line item 6, would it be possible to expand the height? I am not getting a clear view.
RESPONSE: See attached Revised Price Form which has height expanded.
14. For proposers with multiple divisions/operating units, can this be disclosed for only the
division/operating unit that will manage the services to the County if it is the successful bidder?
RESPONSE: The purpose of this section is to gauge the qualifications and experience of the firms
submitting proposals. For this purpose Firm would be the legal entity that would sign the contract.
If your division/operating unit is a legal entity that would be signing the contract then the answer is
yes, if not then no.
15. Reference Proposal Format, Tab 3, bullet 4 - Can the five year period be reduced to two years?
RESPONSE: No
16. Reference Proposal Format, Tab 3, bullet 4 - Can the $10,000 be increased to $25,000?
RESPONSE: No
17. If a proposer is responsive to all bid options outlined by the County, could the proposal also offer,
for information-only purposes (not for score), a service addition or alternative service proposal?
RESPONSE: You may only submit one proposal response. Proposers may provide information on
enhancements to the scope of services outlined in the RFP under Tab 4: Project Approach. Such
enhancements will be considered during evaluation as part of the Project Approach criteria.
18. Is the County's definition of "automated" limited to the presence of a cart, or does "automated"
intend to specify the equipment utilized to collect the cart? Please clarify the meaning (page 13,
Residential Service Options, multiple references) of "automated curbside solid waste collection" and
"automated single-stream recycling collection" . The definition of automated from a proposer
perspective can likely vary, as some may view a purpose-built vehicle to collect carts (an
"automated side load" or ASL, for example) as the meaning, while others may interpret the use of
hydraulic cart tippers on a traditional rear loader as "automated", or simply view the presence of a
cart as "automated", regardless of the equipment used in collection.
2
RESPONSE: Automated means the carts as well as the equipment needed to service the carts at
the curbside. Just carts without the appropriate equipment does not make a service automated.
19. On page 1 of the Revised Price List the base bid was pricing for the North and separate pricing for
the South. How is the pricing being considered for award? One contractor for both areas? One
contractor for each area? Are both of these considerations being evaluated?
RESPONSE: Please refer to the pricing sheets in which a price for the north, a price for the south,
and a combined price is requested. The three options mentioned are being considered.

Addendum 6
CLARIFICATION:
Additional clarification to Question 18 on Addendum 5 - Automated services are those that include a
cart as well as the appropriate equipment to collect the carts without the employees having to leave the
vehicles. Brevard County does not have a preference between semi-automated and automated
services.

customer may pay in advance for the collection services provided pursuant to this Agreement. However, the
COLLECTOR shall not require a customer to pay for such collection services more than one (1) month in advance.

13. The COLLECTOR may not, under any circumstances, impose a delinquency fee for failure of a
customer to make the required payments. However, the COLLECTOR may impose, in addition to the amount
owed to the COLLECTOR, a re-connect fee not to exceed the greater of Twenty-five Dollars ($25.00), or the normal
charge for one (1) months service for a commercial customer, where a commercial customer whose service has

deduct processing, handling and transportation expenses as agreed upon between the COUNTY and the
COLLECTOR from gross materials sales revenue prior to paying the fifty percent (50%) of the proceeds to the
COUNTY as required above. The determination of the amount of process, handling and transportation expenses
allowed to be deducted by the COLLECTOR must be approved by the COUNTY prior to COLLECTOR electing to
mix or hold recyclable materials as authorized herein. Further, in no event shall COLLECTOR pay the COUNTY

routes can be resumed. In conjunction with the COUNTY, the COLLECTOR shall inform all customers of service

In the event excessive amounts of debris or refuse have accumulated by reason of any natural disaster
which includes the COLLECTORS service area or should the Director or a committee headed by the Director
decide that a severe disturbance, riot or other calamity has produced enough excess debris to need special
cleanup, the COLLECTOR shall be available within 96 hours from the time they are notified by the Director to
remove and transport the excess debris or refuse within the collection area at the rate to be established between
the COUNTY and the COLLECTOR. Should the COUNTY wish to utilize the COLLECTOR to perform such work,
the Director shall direct the COLLECTOR to perform such work at the specified rate. However, nothing herein shall
require the COUNTY to utilize the services of the COLLECTOR or to prevent the COUNTY from contracting with

SECTION 10. COMMENCEMENT OF AGREEMENT; DISAGREEMENTS; DEFAULT OF
COLLECTOR; TRANSFER OF WORK TO SURETY AND COUNTYS USE OF
COLLECTORS PROPERTY; BREACH OF AGREEMENT; NO WAIVER.

1. COMMENCEMENT OF AGREEMENT: The effective date of this agreement is the date on which the
last of the parties hereto executes this Agreement and commencement of collection services shall begin on
October 1, 2013.

2. DISAGREEMENTS: To prevent all disputes or litigation, it is understood that all questions rising
as to the proper performance and the amount of work to be paid for under this Agreement shall be subject to the
decision of the Director subject to the right of the COLLECTOR to appeal to the Board, whose decision shall be
final and binding.

3. SERVICE DURING DISAGREEMENT: During any dispute which arises between the COUNTY,
Director, and/or other interested party and the COLLECTOR, in any way relating to this contract, performance, or
compensation hereunder, the COLLECTOR shall continue to render full compliance (and not seek injunctive relief)
with all terms and conditions of this contract regardless of the nature of the dispute, unless the County Director
specifically notifies the COLLECTOR otherwise.

4. DEFAULT OF COLLECTOR: The COLLECTOR may be held in default of the Agreement in the
event the COLLECTOR:

a) Fails to perform the collections required by the Agreement and appears, to the Director, to have
abandoned the work, or to be unable to resume performance within forty-eight hours; or

b) Has failed on three or more occasions of three working days duration in any year, to perform the
collections required by the Agreement; or

c) Repeatedly neglects, fails, or refuses to comply with any of the material terms of the Agreement,
after having received notice of its obligation to so comply.

Proceedings under this section are in addition to the remedies described in SECTION 9 (F) for breach of
their respective requirements.

To initiate proceedings under this section, the Director shall first request the Board of County
Commissioners to declare the COLLECTOR in default. Within three working days after its receipt of such a
request, the COUNTY shall give notice to the COLLECTOR, its surety and the Director of the location, time and
date within the following seven calendar days of a public hearing at which the COLLECTOR may show cause, why
RFP P-4-12-23

45
it should not be declared in default. In the event the COLLECTOR fails to show, to the satisfaction of the COUNTY,
cause why the COLLECTOR should not be declared to be in default, the Board shall make such declaration.

In declaring the COLLECTOR to have defaulted on the Agreement, the COUNTY may also order the
COLLECTOR to discontinue further performance of work under the contract and transfer the obligation to perform
such work from the COLLECTOR to the Surety on the COLLECTORS performance bond and take any other action
it deems advisable.

5. TRANSFER TO SURETY AND COUNTYS USE OF COLLECTORS PROPERTY:

Upon receipt of a notice that the work has been transferred to the surety with termination of the Agreement,
the surety shall take possession of all materials and equipment described in the most recent inventory submitted to
the Director pursuant to Section 4(A) of this Agreement, for the purpose of completing the work under the
Agreement; employ, by contract or otherwise, any person and all persons needed to perform the work; and provide
materials and equipment required therefore. Such employment shall not relieve the surety of its obligations under
the Agreement and the bond. If there is a transfer to the surety, payments shall be made to the surety or its agent
for all work performed under the Agreement subsequent to such transfer, in amounts equal to those that would
have been made to the Contractor had it performed in the manner and to the extent of the suretys performance
and the COLLECTOR shall have no claim upon the same.

In the event the surety on the COLLECTORS performance bond fails to assume or continue performance
bond within 48 hours after its receipt of notice that the work has been transferred to such surety, the COLLECTOR
shall lease, sublease or otherwise license the COUNTY to use all, or whatever portion is desired by the COUNTY,
of the materials and equipment described on the most recent inventory submitted to the Director pursuant to
SECTION 4 (A) of the Agreement, for collection purposes for a period of up to six months following the date of the
declaration of default by the Board of County Commissioners without requiring the COUNTY to execute any other
document whatsoever to accomplish such lease, sub-lease or license and without requiring the COUNTY to post
any bond, pledge, deposit or other security for such equipment and materials but upon the condition that the
COUNTY pay for the equipment and materials actually used for such collection a market rental that is not greater
than the monthly lease, in the event such property is leased by the COLLECTOR; the periodic installment in the
event such property is being acquired under a purchase contract; or the periodic interest and principal, in the event
such property is being acquired under a financing arrangement; provided that under no circumstances shall the
COUNTY be liable during its use of such property for any arrearages, balloon payment, accrued interest,
accelerated charges in the event of a default or other extraordinary payment; nor shall the satisfaction thereof be a
condition to the COUNTY'S interim use of such property; provided further that such lease, sub-lease or license shall
be suspended on the date the surety on the COLLECTORS bond or its agent accepts the transfer of work under
the Agreement.

In the event the COUNTY secures the performance of work under the Agreement at a lesser cost than
would have been payable to the COLLECTOR had the COLLECTOR performed the same, the COUNTY shall
retain such difference; but in the event such cost to the COUNTY is greater, the COLLECTOR and its surety shall
be liable for and pay the amount of such excess to the COUNTY.

All payments due the COLLECTOR at the time of default, less amounts due the COUNTY from the
COLLECTOR; shall be applied by the COUNTY against damages suffered and expense incurred by the COUNTY
by reason of such default; any excess shall be paid to the COLLECTOR except as provided in the Agreement.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, a delay or interruption in the performance of all or any part of
the Agreement resulting from changes ordered in the work, from labor disputes, or, from other causes beyond the
COLLECTORS control, shall not be deemed to be a default and the rights and remedies of the COUNTY provided
for herein shall be applicable.

6. BREACH OF AGREEMENT: If the COLLECTOR fails to be at work at the time specified,
persistently disregards laws, ordinances or instructions of the Director, or repeatedly fails to provide sufficient
reserve workforce and equipment to insure the proper completion of the residential work by 8:00 pm each day; or
performs the work unsatisfactorily or fails to collect refuse on a regular schedule, or discontinues the prosecution of
RFP P-4-12-23

46
the work without authorization by the COUNTY, or becomes insolvent or declares bankruptcy or commits any act of
bankruptcy or insolvency, or allows final judgment rising out of performance of the Agreement to stand unsatisfied
for a period of ten (10) days, the COUNTY will consider such action a breach of Agreement and give notice, in
writing by registered mail, to the COLLECTOR and his surety of such breach.

If the COLLECTOR or the surety, within ten (10) days after such notices, does not proceed to take over
and complete the work under the orders of the Director, then the Director, because of the breach of Agreement,
shall have full power and authority, without violating the Agreement or bond, to take over the completion of said
Agreement according to the terms and provisions thereof, or to use such other methods as in his opinion may be
required for the completion of said Agreement in an acceptable manner. Furthermore, after the issuance by the
COUNTY of its notice of intention to terminate the Agreement, the COLLECTOR shall not remove from its normal,
daily workplace in the COUNTY any of the equipment listed on the inventory approved by the Director in
accordance with SECTION 4 (A) of this Agreement until arrangements to continue the work, by Agreement, by
surety, or otherwise, have been completed by the COUNTY.

For all costs, charges and damages incurred by the COUNTY, together with the costs of completing the
work, the COLLECTOR and his surety shall be liable, and such costs may be deducted from any monies due or
which may become due the COLLECTOR. Should the COUNTY incur any attorneys fees to seek enforcement of
any of the provisions in this Agreement and prevails, the COLLECTOR and his surety shall be liable for those fees,
and such expense may be deducted from any monies due or which may become due to the COLLECTOR. In case
the expense incurred by the COUNTY is less than the sum which would have been payable under the Agreement if
it had been completed by the COLLECTOR, then the COLLECTOR and the surety shall be liable and shall pay the
COUNTY the amount of said excess.

7. NO WAIVER: No waiver of full performance by either party shall be construed, or operate, as a
waiver of any subsequent default of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement nor affect the
right of the COUNTY to enforce same. The payment or acceptance of compensation for any period after a default
shall not be deemed a waiver of any right or acceptance of defective performance.
