Subject: Disposal Alternaffves Aualysb
Dear Warren:
As you requested, I have prepared an estimate of our fees to perform a finan- cial comparison of the cost of waste processing and disposal altornativos. The alternatives we anticipate comparing include:
A transfer stationAandfU1 alternative; A material recoveryflandfi11 alternative; * A material recovery/transferflandfill alternative; and, A cornpostinghaterial recoveryftransferflandfill alternative.
KEYASSUMPTXONS
Our proposal is based on the assumption that relevant public documents will be made available to us, including landfill disposal costs. Further, we
assume that wasb volume and characterization data io available for our use in this aaaalyde,
l?Iumcrr9copE
During the Project Initiation phase, we will systematically review existing data to determine whcthcr there are any significant deficiencies that might cause us to revise our approach. At the conclusion of this phase, we will finalize the project approach, outline the final report, and finalize a project schedule,
During Phase n, we will prepare the financial model, colk?ct; and organize all necessary data, and idonti@ tho key variables that will affect the results of the financial comparison. Where available, we will utilize actual data related to your wash management system. Whore this data is not available (e.g., mate- rial recovery facility financial results of operations), we will rely on published data and our own reports from prior engagements.
