Enclosed is a resolution authorizing the payment of funds of a later fiscal year and of
more than one fiscal year for a multi -year contract for greenwaste operations in West
Hawai'I and East Hawai'i.
Ref, Date MAR Q 4 2a14
As the current contract for greenwaste operations is about to expire, the County intends
to issue an Request for Proposals (RFP) to continue these services at the current
greenwaste site at Hilo Landfill and to move the Kailua -Kona Greenwaste site to
Pu'uanahulu. Through research of the industry, we have determined that a multi -year
contract is necessary to enable return on investment, and a 5 year contract will provide
the best opportunity for cost - effective greenwaste operations. The new RFP will also
allow options for acceptance of other organic materials like biosolids, paper, food, etc if
and when funds for these services are available (to date, responses to composting
RFPs have not been affordable). These would be steps toward banning organics from
the landfill by 2012 as requested in the adopted Council Resolution No. 826 -08
If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call the Department of
Environmental Management.

The current contract for greenwaste operations is about to expire. The annual cost for this contract is
