Please note that data provided are for general informational purposes only. The Owner/operator does not certify the accuracy of the information provided. Contractors should not rely solely on this section for developing proposals and associated costs. Contractors are responsible for an independent assessment of the project. 1.1 FACILITY DESCRIPTION Existing The existing Outagamie County single stream MRF is part of a public works complex located on a 460-acre parcel of land owned by the County, including recycling, landfill disposal, landfill gas-to-energy, and highway facilities. The existing MRF building has a total floorplan of about 45,000 square feet. The facility is designed to process single stream recyclable materials. Proposed The proposal shall identify all building features and modifications that are required or recommended. 1.2 WASTE TYPES & TONNAGES The projected single stream material composition is provided in TABLE 1.2-1. BOW recognizes that the composition of residential/commercial single stream material is dynamic and that specific commodities within distinct single stream material may vary widely from route to route and even within a single load. Contractors must guarantee that proposed systems will achieve the throughput and quality requirements for single stream material that may vary plus or minus 30% on each given commodity.

The awarded Contractor is responsible for any modifications to the facility beyond those completed by the Owner/operator as described in the RFP/RFB; and the installation of all components required to complete and operate the proposed additions and modifications, and meeting the performance criteria set forth in this RFP/RFB. The Owner/operator requires the selected Contractor to provide project leadership with integral responsibility for the successful completion of the project. The Contractors’ scope of work shall include, but is not limited to, the following items: 1) The ability to direct feed fiber materials to both balers. 2) If either baler is out of service, the fiber storage bunkers must be able to divert to the working baler 3) All equipment additions and plant modifications must be integrated into SCADA and other remote monitoring and control systems. 4) Equipment specifications should be presented for steel gauge, welds, surface preparation, and painting. Whether parts are bolted or welded should be noted. 5) Engineer, design, specify, detail and document all structural, metal fabrications, electrical, mechanical and control systems comprising complete and functional equipment additions and system modifications. 6) Produce system flow schematics and drawings (in both AutoCad and PDF formats) that meet system requirements. Meet the Owner/operator and its representatives to review and receive comment upon the proposed design. If requested by the Owner/operator, incorporate those changes into design. 7) Furnish and install all guards and safety items in accordance with the safety standards required by local, state and federal code or inspectors. 8) Furnish and install all equipment support structures and operator/maintenance access stairs, platforms and ladders. Include all handrails, railings, kick plates, floor plates and gratings as required. 9) Furnish, and wire all electrical equipment including motors, electrical drives, power panels, control panels and operator interface panels in accordance with the requirements of the specifications. 10) Meet applicable ANSI and OSHA specifications.

Preference will be given to proposals that minimize plant downtime during the equipment installation and system modification process. 2.3 LIST OF CONTRACT DELIVERABLES Manufacturing, shipping, installation & start-up schedule Schematic design documents Schematic design cost estimate to include cost of equipment plus installation, transportation, motor controls, and electrical field wiring Design development documents Construction documents (if needed) All operation manuals and plans All maintenance manuals and schedules for preventative maintenance All equipment warrantees All manufacturer guarantees and liquidated damages October 2013 4 Project Manual RFP/RFB Procurement of Material Recovery Facility Equipment Addition & System Modification SECTION 3 – DESIGN 3.1 DESIGN FACTORS & OTHER CONSIDERATIONS In order to accommodate the increase in tonnage, the following factors will need to be addressed. BALE FIBER AT A BLENDED FIBER RATE OF 20 TONS PER HOUR It is important that the plant not be dependent upon a single baler. The addition of the second baler will relieve the continuous stress on the current baler (IPS) and make it possible to dedicate that baler to the baling of containers only (PETE, HDPE, Aluminum Cans, Tin/Steel Cans, Mixed Plastics, Cartons).
