Prior to the service analysis, EcoNomics staff will cross-reference each generators' service levels from Waste Management's customer listing. Generators that do not have an individual account will not be included in the service analysis. As each generator's service information is calculated, the data will be aggregated into a roll -up work sheet so data for all generators can be analyzed to make conclusions about the projected service levels for Individual generators and for the entire commercial sector. Task 1C: Analyze aggregated data As a next step, EcoNomics will analyze the aggregated data to determine the average organics service levels per generator and per compliance tier as well as the average MSW service reductions, Using this data, EcoNomics will determine the hauler's total cost of providing organics service assuming various participation levels as well as the revenue lost from customer's 'right -sizing' their MSW service, These two cost components will provide the City with a total cost of AB 1826 compliance that can be communicated to proposers during the RFP process or used to check proposers' cost assumptions during the evaluation process. Task 1D: Calculate Estimated Outreach Hours Needed and Determine Cost A key factor that Is rarely factored into the cost of organics recycling programs is the cost of outreach required to implement and maintain organics programs. Each organics program can take between 10 -25 hours of staff time to implement. EcoNomics will include the projected outreach costs for implementing organics programs and make recommendations for how to provide adequate staffing levels. Task 2: Assistance with Incorporating State -Mandated Diversion Programs into RFP Evaluation Process Upon engagement, EcoNomics will distill complicated legislative concepts and directives into clearly understood evaluation criteria metrics, EcoNomics will use its on -the -ground knowledge of working within the City to assess feasibility of proposed diversion programs provided by haulers. An initial listing of items that will be considered as part of EcoNomics' evaluation assistance is included below.
