The <br />Department of Environmental Management intends to issue a new procurement to replace <br />the current organic diversion contract when it expires. The department intends to <br />continue providing green waste drop -off sites at recycling and transfer stations for the <br />convenience of residents, including Kailua -Kona. Through research of the industry, they <br />have determined that a multi -year contract is necessary to enable adequate return on <br />investment, and that a four year contract will provide the opportunity, after the initial <br />term, to expand organic diversion programs to a composting operation that can include <br />other feedstock such as paper, food and compostable plastic. <br />If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Bobby Jean Leithead Todd of <br />the Department of Environmental Management at 981 -8083. <br />0Ap+. <br />Deanna S.
