293-22 Exhibit A.pdf

In addition to the Proposed Lease Payment to the Township and to improve community relations, the Reliable Proposal is that processing at the Site will be limited to extraordinary events as described above. Absent those events, all material received at the Site will be removed and not more than 7,500 cubic yards of brush, and not more than 5,000 cubic yards of leaves will remain on the Site at any time. Those amounts are below the permitted capacity for the Site and are consistent with historic permitted levels. Removal of the unprocessed material is possible because other facilities operated by Reliable are available to receive the West Orange material. Material will continue to be accepted at no charge as provided in Technical Information Sections 2.9.1 through 2.9.4. Additionally, processed material will continue to be available at no charge as provided in Sections 2.12.1 through 2.12.3. Reliable will continue to charge users of the Site not otherwise exempt However, regardless of who deposited the material, it will be removed from the Site as described herein above. Finished, fully processed material will be returned to the Site and stored neatly in new bunkers reflected on the Site Improvement Plan included in the Reliable Proposal. It is anticipated that approximately $60,000 will be allocated for Site Improvement. The benefit of the new proposed method of operation is that the potential for noise, dust, odor, fire, overcapacity, and the likelihood of complaints will be reduced substantially or even eliminated. As a result, Reliable believes the number and frequency of inspections by the Township Enviro1U11ental Compliance Officer can be reduced to far fewer than provided in the Request for Proposal. Likewise, with reduced storage of unprocessed material, the need for the odor neutralizing system will be reduced. However, Reliable will maintain the existing system in the event that conditions favorable to the development of odor occur. As has been the case several times in the recent past, weather related Acts of God have caused an unanticipated excess of material brought to the Site by the Township that is far in excess of normal historic levels which excess the operator has no ability to control or limit. Those events, and possibly others, result in increased cost to the operator of the Site, whether it is Reliable or some other

toric levels which excess the operator has no ability to control or limit. Those events, and possibly others, result in increased cost to the operator of the Site, whether it is Reliable or some other operator. Accordingly, material deposited by the Township at the Site because of such event will be subject to a charge per cubic yard for each cubic yard of brush, logs, stumps, wood chips, and leaves based upon a mutually acceptable cap of material received in excess of average annual historic levels received from the Township at the Site. The Reliable Proposal anticipates that operation of the Convenience Recycling Center will be unchanged. Reliable will continue to bear the a1U1ual operating cost of more than $120,000 associated with that operation and when combined with the cost of the Class B and the Class C operations amount to more than $750,000 annually. We hope this explanation of our Proposal has been helpful. We understand that the Reliable Proposal may result in questions. Accordingly, we request a meeting as soon as convenient with representatives of the Township to answer any questions, to provide any additional information that may be requested, and to discuss the contract provisions required by the new method of operation. Reliable looks forward to continuing to provide quality recycling services to the Township of West Orange and its residents.
