As shown above, the increase in BEST's score <br />produced a slight reduction in the scores of some proposers. <br /> <br />Assessment of Waste Solutions Group (WSG) Capability <br /> <br />HBC has proposed Waste Solutions Group (WSG) as a partner (subcontractor) in the <br />operations of the SRDC transfer station. WSG is smaller than the other proposers and has <br />substantially less experience in the day-to-day management of a large transfer station than <br />Community Recycling (the SBR partnership company that is proposed to operate the transfer. <br />station). While WSG presented a thoughtful and creative self haul diversion plan, the Evaluation <br />Committee had concerns about WSG's ability to perform the day-in day-out operations of the <br />transfer station. <br /> <br />As part of the vetting process, the Evaluation Committee conducted reference checks, and <br />further investigation was conducted for each shortlisted proposers. On December 15, 2008 the <br />Evaluation Committee met with WSG's President, David Gavrich, and toured the San Francisco <br />rail-transfer operation. This small operation is WSG's only currently-operating transfer operation <br />and is unique in its function of transferring truck loads of contaminated soils to rail cars that are <br />destined for specialized landfills in distant locations. In addition to the SF operation, the <br />Evaluation Committee checked WSG references for the operation of the SRI transfer station in <br />New Jersey, the Humboldt County, CA transfer station, and the Del Norte County, CA transfer <br />station. The BRI transfer station in New Jersey is the operation most similar to SRDC ~ the <br />facility handles approximately 175,000 tons per year, separating MSW and C&D materials, <br />using excavators and loaders, for transfer to remote landfills via the use of three (3) load-out <br />portals. WSG was hired in 2003 to operate the BRI facility and to take it out of receivership. <br />WSG operated the facility until it was sold in 2007. <br /> <br />WSG's current operation in San Francisco is small but is very efficient at moving large volumes <br />of material (500,000 tons in 2006). The efficiency, success, and longevity of this operation (17 <br />years of operation) offers evidence that WSG is a capable company, able perform the difficult <br />tasks of coordinating truck-to-rail transfer in an urban area. Based upon his personal <br />qualifications and local industry relationships, Mr. Gavrich appears able to assemble a <br />management team that is capable of effectively implementing HBC's proposed transfer station <br />and transportation plan. <br /> <br />In response to the RFP, WSG prepared an excellent plan for the handling and recovery of <br />materials in the transfer station. The WSG plan is primarily built around the use of small loaders <br /> <br />SBWMA - EC Report <br /> <br />Page <br />20 <br /> <br />1/15/2009 <br />
