w • <br />Scope of <br />Services ~ will work with City staff, PGS and the local business <br /> community to collect and analyze commercial diversion tonnages <br /> from the following areas: <br /> ^ Commercial diversion from the materials recovery facility <br /> operated by PGS; <br /> • Commercial drop-off and buy-back recycling centers; <br /> ^ Recycling or waste reduction activities at large venues or <br /> facilities, including the Hacienda Business Pazk and the local <br /> retail district; <br /> ^ Recycling activities from local restaurants, including <br /> composting programs, grease and tallow collection, etc. <br /> ^ Materials collected in the Paper Gobbler program operated by <br /> PGS. <br /> Task 4: Public Agency Recycling <br /> Public Works Projects. R3 will collect data obtained from <br /> appropriate public agency staff to identify diverted materials in <br /> 2004. Potential examples include concrete and asphalt from road <br /> construction and improvement projects, and organic materials from <br /> landscaping, tree maintenance, parks and golf courses, etc. <br /> R3 will contact the appropriate City or County. agencies, record the <br /> diversion information, and verify other data sources to avoid <br /> "double-counting" of diversion information. In the event that <br /> actual tonnage records are not available, R3 will use the CIWMB <br /> approved weight conversion factors to determine allowable <br /> diversion amounts for these activities. <br /> In-house Recycling Programs. R3 will also collect and quantify <br /> available recycling tonnages from government sponsored in-house <br /> recycling programs, schools, special events, and public recycling <br /> receptacles. Specifically, R3 will work with the Alameda County <br /> fairgrounds facility in Pleasanton to quantify various diversion <br /> activities. <br /> Task 5: Source Reduction <br /> Grasscycling. Pazks and recreation areas, school sites, golf <br /> courses, sports fields, and other grass-intensive settings are <br /> appropriate facilities to document grasscycling programs. R3 will <br /> collect available information on this activity and develop diversion <br /> tonnages calculating the acreage mowed and the appropriate <br /> conversion factors (7.6 tons per acre per year). <br />~~ Thrift Stores. R3 will contact the local and regional thrift store <br />operators and request any data related to tons of materials received <br /> and sold. We expect that the operators may not have this type of <br />Page 4 <br />
