Subject: Couuty of Hawaii Waste Reduction Facility Design-Build-Operate Project ,
Proposer Review of D12AF"I' Request for Stage 2 Proposals
Dear Mr. Phillips:
Congratulations on being short-listed for the County of Hawai`i's Waste Reduction Facility
Design-.Build-Operate Project. In order to achieve a high degree of thoroughness and clarity, the
County of Hawaii has requested that R. W. Beck, hie. and Hawkins Delafield & Wood LLP
provide you this DRAFT Request for Stage 2 Proposals (Stage 2 RFP) for review and comment.
Enclosed are Volumes 1 and III of the Stage 2 RFY. We expect to send Volume II (the DRAFT
Service Contract) subsequently.
While we encourage comments on all aspects of this Stage 2 RFP, we ask that you pay
particularly close attention to the following issues:
• The inclusion of the operation and maintenance of the Reload Building in the Scope of
Services for the Company;
• The Method for Company compensation for the handling ofNon-Processible Waste;
• "The current design of the Reload Facility and its compatibility with the Waste Reduction
Facility (specifically Facility layout, Building orientation, Building and Facility size,
etc.);
• Waste management solutions to address the interval between the closure of the South
Flilo Landfill (assume 2010) and the commencement of operations of the Waste
Reduction Facility. Examples may include fast-tracking WRF development to shorten
this time interval, contracting with a third party far disposal, etc.;
• The inflationary indices and methods used t'or the Construction and Operation Periods;
• Facility capacity quantities and the adequacy of the background inforruation provided in
the Stage 2 RFP; and
• The structure of the Service Fee. Specifically the inclusion of a Base Fee and
Incremental Fce and whether a waste delivery commitment is necessazy in light of such
structure assuming that the base fee corresponds to a level of service substantially equal
to the quantity of waste historically received at the South Hilo Landfill.
