<br />88 <br />Page 26 <br /> <br />ORIGINAL PROPOSALS AND REVISIONS <br /> <br />SOUTH BAY AND HUDSON BAYLOR- DIFFERENTIATING FACTORS <br /> <br />STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES <br />During the initial evaluation, seven categories were assigned numerical ratings. Of the seven (7) <br />categories, the companies scored relatively evenly in three (3) areas, with HBC markedly ahead <br />in one (1), and SBR superior in three (3). <br /> <br />. Based upon company histories and references, both companies are well Qualified to <br />operate the SBWMA facilities. <br /> <br />. South Bay's original cost proposal scored significantly higher than all others. A twenty- <br />four (24) point spread exists between the lowest and highest ranked (SBR) offers, with <br />SBR seven (7) points ahead of HBC - 86 to 79. With revisions, SBR has maintained the <br />strongest cost proposal, but the operating cost difference between the companies has <br />narrowed. <br /> <br />. Based upon initial evaluation, the original SRDC operations proposals were closely <br />ranked. SBR offered an excellent operating plan with extraordinary transfer payloads <br />and proven management ability. HBC's SRDC plan, while short on experience, offered <br />excellent tip-floor management and an innovative machinery-oriented floor-recovery <br />plan. <br /> <br />. HBC ranked highest among all proposers for MRF desian, installation, and start-up - 9 <br />points ahead of SBR - 69 to 60. Though the capital cost of HBC's proposed MRF <br />system is quite high, the proposed design, including the application of eight (8) optical <br />sorting units and the rationale for achieving SBWMA's high commodity quality <br />requirements earned the high ranking. <br /> <br />It By virtue of its historical commodity pricing, revenue guarantee, and the direct ownership <br />of two (2) paper mills. SBR earned the highest ranking for material marketina. Because <br />SBR partners are able to internalize (directly consume) seventy (70) to seventy-five (75) <br />percent of all SBWMA's materials, it is likely that SBR will routinely exceed the prices <br />fetched by proposers that do not own mills. <br /> <br />. SBR outscored HBC with regard to environmental enhancements by nine (9) points - 19 <br />-10. Because SBR partners directly own 100% recycled content fiber mills and a state <br />certified biomass power plant, the company is able to provide Green House Gas <br />reductions above and beyond those which result from a normal recycling operation. The <br />GHG reductions are obtainable because the partners perform closed loop recycling of <br />wastepaper, convert wood and contaminated paper to green power, and compost a <br />myriad of organic materials. SBR has committed to the use of bio-diesel for all loaders <br />and trucks operated from the site. As options, SBR has offered to install a C&D sort line <br />and a Mixed Waste processing system in the new transfer station building in order to <br />increase recycling and diversion of materials from the landfill. <br /> <br />HBC has committed to the use of bio-diesel in all rolling stock. <br /> <br />SBWMA - EC Report <br /> <br />Page <br />8 <br /> <br />1/15/2009 <br />
