• <br /> Arrival at Facility for regularly scheduled testing <br /> The sampling crew and sampling crew manager will arrive at the Designated Transfer <br /> and Processing Facility prior to the agreed upon start time to participate in any required <br /> safety training and to put on all required personal protective equipment. Before the start <br /> time, the sampling crew manager will also cover logistics with the MRF manager, as well <br /> as any needs and expectations for the study period (regardless of the amount of <br /> advance communication conducted.) <br /> Scale house coordination <br /> The sampling crew manager will speak with the scale house staff to explain the basic <br /> objectives of the study and provide the scale house staff with a copy of the vehicle <br /> selection sheet, as well as sampling placards to identify selected loads (see Appendix 2 <br /> for examples of field forms.) The sampling crew manager will ensure the scale house <br /> staff understands the needs of the study throughout the day, allowing the scale house <br /> staff to plan for transitions such as scheduled breaks and shift changes. Additionally, the <br /> sampling crew manager will provide the scale house staff with a means of contacting the <br /> sampling crew manager throughout the day. <br /> The scale house staff is responsible for identifying selected vehicles using the vehicle <br /> selection sheet, provided by the sampling crew manager. The scale house staff will also <br /> distribute sampling placards to the Contractor. <br /> Tipping floor coordination <br /> With the input of the MRF manager and the loader operator(s), the sampling crew <br /> manager will determine locations for two (2) designated sampling /sorting areas on or <br /> near the tipping floors. There will be one designated sampling /sorting area on the <br /> Organic Materials tipping floor and one area on the recyclables tipping floor. These <br /> sampling /sorting areas will be in a location in which the sampling crew can identify <br /> designated loads entering the tipping area, the loader operator(s) can visually <br /> communicate with the sampling crew, and the loader operator(s) can safely remove <br /> samples after sorting. <br /> Once the sampling crew manager has determined the locations, the sampling crew will <br /> set up the designated sampling /sorting areas. The sampling crew manager will then walk <br /> through the process of extracting samples from selected loads with both the loader <br /> operator(s) and the tipping house staff. <br /> Load selection <br /> Contractor and SBWMA shall mutually agree on the random numbers table to be used, <br /> the process to select random truckloads for sampling, and the process to select specific <br /> cells from each truckload for sampling. When a target Collection vehicle arrives at the <br /> Designated Transfer and Processing Facility, the scale house staff will confirm the <br /> material stream and origin of the load (e.g., Single - Family Targeted Recyclable Materials <br /> from the north geographic area). The scale house staff will copy the sample cell number <br /> from the Collection vehicle selection form onto the appropriate sample placard and <br /> provide the placard to the driver. A cell number represents the location within a Toad from <br /> which a sample will be extracted and is defined by the map in Figure 1. Additionally, the <br /> scale house staff will record the load's net weight on the vehicle selection sheet. <br /> Franchise Agreement for Collection Services with Recology San Mateo County Attachment E -2 <br /> Redwood City Page 5 of 19 <br />
