we can negotiate some mutually agreeable solution to this requirement. This issue cannot be further clarified until after a definitive contract is negotiated. Section II -Pricing Proposal Barlow has provided an updated Form A3 with the subcategories for items A-G filled in. This form is included with this document as Exhibit AAA. Barlow has made an attempt to include all our costs in the limited categories provided on the County's form. However, the structure of the form does not lend itself to breaking down the project costs as they were developed. While we have attempted to provide you with the information requested in the line items listed on the form, each line item is not a stand alone category and should not be taken as a firm fixed price. What we are guaranteeing is the lump sum price listed in line H, not each individual category. Question This proposal includes all State and Federal sales, use and excise taxes during operation and construction. Question 2: All expenses, including debt service, are covered by the fec Barlow would charge the County. Question 3: The price for electricity sold to HELCO will be negotiated with HELCO once we have a contract with the County of Hawaii. In our curcent estimate, energy revenues aze based on selling an average of 3.5 megawatts to HELCO at $.11/KwH. We are comfortable that it will he enough, along with revenues from tipping fees, tp cover all our expenses for operating, maintaining and paying debt service expenses on the facilities. Question 4: For a privately owned facility, access t SP will have a minimal impact on ~ the tipping fee, in the range of $3/Ton, because the us tax exempt debt will significantly reduce the value of depreciation to the facility owner. Concerning your comment about leveraged [ease arrangementst Barlow's financing company believes that a leveraged lease is the most cost effective form of financing for a privately owned project of this nature. Question 7: Bazlow believes that 6 trucks making 2 trips each per day for a total of 12 trip total will be adequate for Phase I of the operation and that 2 trucks making 1-2 trips per day for a total of 3-4 trips will be adequate once the Waste Reduction Facility (WTE) is built. We have provided an estimate of waste quantities, trips necessary and costs in Table A and Table B at the end of this document. Question 8: Barlow agrees that we will be responsible -for the disposal of everything that comes to the Re-Load facility with the exception of hazardous wastes and wastes that cannot be legally disposed in a RCRA Subtitle D facility. Barlow will establish a regular waste screening system for incoming loads, and will reject loads containing hazardous materials from any source including County Transfer Station containers. Barlow wants it to be clear that we are not offering to operate a hazardous or radioactive waste disposal center. Because of the unique nature of the County's Transfer Stations, Barlow sees the potential for uncontrolled dumping of hazardous materials. It will be Barlow's responsibility to screen incoming waste for unacceptable materials, but it is the County's job to educate the public; haulers and Transfer Station Attendants about what waste can and cannot enter the F.HRSS. 2000 Vermont Drive, Fort Collins, Colorado, USA PH: (9'70) 226-8557 FAX: (970) 226-8559 www RCrzi ~~wi~rzr~iF't°rcrn~,i
