Hawaii County Counci
RE: Resolution No. 136-03
Request for Proposals for Furnishing and Implementing an Organics Diversion and
Composting Program
The Committee on Finance has asked that council members direct comments on the Request for Proposals
No. 2036 to you for forwarding to Environmental Management Director Barbara Bell. The following are
my comments:
I. Why wasn't the resolution and RFP brought to the council for approval before it went out
since the RFP refers to a five-year agreement with an additional five-year option to
renew?
2. Why did the Department of Environmental Management decide on a five-year
agreement plus five-year administrative renewal option?
3. Was the chair of the environmental management committee asked to serve on the
selection and evaluation committee? If not, why?
4. What are the three options proposed? What are the differences?
5. What will be the cost to the County?
6. How will it be financed?
7. How much of the total waste stream will be diverted by the Organics Diversion and
Composting Program?
8. Will the department quantify this diversion into specific measurable numbers for the
council/public?
9. What is the cost benefit analysis of this program?
10. What is the cost benefit analysis of a curbside collection program?
11. What is the total capital expenditure to be expended by each vendor?
12. How will sludge and greenwaste be reused in each of the proposals?
13. What end products are proposed to be produced?
14. What are the intended target markets and has the Review Committee evaluated the
feasibility of these markets?
