In lieu of items 3) and 4), the WRT vendor's proposal may also include an offer to permit, design, and construct alternate reload and scalehouse facilities. A separate cost breakdown shall be submitted for alternate facilities. Additionally, the WRT offeror's proposal should include a separate per ton cost for operation of item 3). The County will operate item 4), scalehouse. 2.2.1 Construction of EHRSS items 3) and 4) (or approved alternate facilities) shall be completed prior to the closure of the SHSL and shall (at a minimum) be maintained during the interim period prior to the closure of the SHSL and full operation of a WRT.
