EXHIBITA- PAGE A5 <br /> of the conceptual design. There is information from reliable compost industry <br /> sources to calculate the reduction in incoming volume after processing, active <br /> composting, and curing. <br /> The amount of compost is important, but just as important is the quality and size <br /> gradation of the compost finished product. This will dictate what type of <br /> screening equipment is necessary for operations. For example, if the identified <br /> end market is residential and golf courses, the quality and fine gradation of the <br /> compost is critical. If the end market is agriculture, the gradation is less <br /> important and requires less screening which can impact the selection of <br /> equipment used. <br /> 7. Cost of land area estimates <br /> The cost of land for the compost footprint must consider environmental and <br /> infrastructure costs beyond the price of the property. Any estimate of land costs <br /> will consider the imbedded costs needed to support the operations. This includes <br /> roadway access, available utilities, proximity to residential and commercial <br /> properties, etc. The JPLEE team will evaluate these considerations for the land <br /> areas identified by the City. We have experience in this regard at past compost <br /> facility development projects and can use this to assist the City and their local <br /> real estate professionals to compare the candidate sites. <br /> 8. Siting study at 1160 S. Monroe Street 11.7-acre property and other alternatives <br /> The JPL team will provide guidance to the City's staff on the viability of property <br /> located at 1160 S. Monroe Street, where the City is currently under contract for, <br /> as well as other viable locations. The team will apply the same environmental, <br /> development and operational considerations identified in the conceptual design, <br /> technology evaluation and land area estimate tasks to score the site as to its <br /> suitability for accomplishing the City's vision and mission statement objectives. <br /> The upfront costs for an evaluation of the subsurface soils and water table will <br /> be calculated by JPLEE for the selected location. This is important to verify that <br /> subsurface conditions are favorable for development. <br /> 9. Characterization of organic waste stream for composting— <br /> The JPL team will perform an assessment of available organic material/waste that <br /> can be composted by the City and determine what operation or regulation <br /> barriers may limit use of them as feedstock. We will create a feedstock calendar <br /> that will inform management decisions at various times of the year, when <br /> seasonality (spring clean-up; summer grass clippings; fall leaf collection) can <br /> impact the type of organic material coming to the facility. The feedstock material <br /> will be sent out by a team member for testing (moisture content, bulk density, <br /> 4 <br />
