[6. CITIZENS COMMENT]

NEXT ITEM.

INSTEAD OF SOME COMMENTS, DO WE HAVE ANYBODY SIGNED UP OR IS ONLINE THAT WANTS TO SPEAK, UH, STU MIKE BENNETT.

I'D LIKE TO, I TELL HIM, OKAY, MIKE, GOOD TO HAVE YOU WITH US.

THANK YOU.

UM, YEAH.

THANK YOU GUYS.

SO CHAIRMAN AND GUESTS AND COMMITTEE, THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME.

UM, IN MY COMMENTS, QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS ARE, UH, UH, ACCORDING TO, UH, AGENDA ITEM OF THE RFP FOR 1621, THE BEAVER COUNTY RECYCLING PROCESSING, HAULING THAT YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO DISCUSS.

UM, MY NAME IS MIKE BENNETT.

I OWN I TO RECYCLE SAID COMMERCIAL RECYCLED WASTE MANAGEMENT CONSULTING COMPANY OF 11 YEARS.

UM, I'M ALSO SERVE ON THE SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING BOARD OF FOUR PLUS YEARS AS THE REPRESENTATIVE OUT OF FILM HEAD.

UM, AND I'VE BEEN A CITIZEN OF BEAVER COUNTY FOR 12, 24 YEARS.

UM, AND IT'S WITH THOSE COLOR QUALIFICATIONS THAT I'D LIKE YOU TO CONSIDER THESE COMMENTS AND, AND, UH, CONCERNS, AND MAYBE ADDRESS SOME OF THESE QUESTIONS WHEN YOU REVIEW THIS RFP AND THE ONE AS A I, TO RECYCLE, WE CAN PUT A BID ON THAT CONTRACT.

UM, WE WERE LOOKING AT IT, UM, AND I HAD SOME CONCERNS OF PROCESS AND THE SELECTION AND WHO WAS SELECTED ULTIMATELY.

AND MY QUESTIONS

[00:05:01]

THAT'S LOCAL.

WE ARE THE PROFESSIONALS AND THE EXPERTS IN THE AREA.

UM, WE WERE NOT SELECTED, UM, FOR WHATEVER REASON, BUT I WOULDN'T QUESTION WHY WE WEREN'T SELECTED FOR AT LEAST AN INNER BEING THAT WE ARE, UH, THE LOCAL EXPERTS.

I WAS SURPRISED TO KNOW THAT WE WEREN'T SELECTED INTERVIEW.

AND MY QUESTION WOULD BE THAT YOU GUYS SHOULD ASK IS WHO WAS SELECTED FOR AN INTERVIEW AND WHAT WERE THOSE QUALIFICATIONS? UM, SECONDLY, YOU KNOW, THE, UH, THE CONTRACT WAS, UH, HAD THE TOP THREE, THE THREE ENTRIES OUT OF THE SEVEN, THREE OF THOSE ENTRIES WERE COMPREHENSIVE AND INCLUDED, UM, ALL THREE PARTS OF THAT RFP, WHICH WAS THE PROCESSING, THE HAULING AND THE MARKETING.

THERE'S ONLY THREE ENTRIES IN THAT, THAT ACTUALLY INCLUDED ALL OF THOSE.

AND FROM WHAT I CAN TELL, IT WAS MYSELF PRO DISPOSAL AND WASTE MANAGEMENT.

WELL, NEITHER ME WERE PROTOTYPES BODEL OR SELECTED, OR EVEN LOOKED AT TO BE CONSIDERED, ALTHOUGH THEY WERE COMPREHENSIVE AND WE HAD SOME OF THE LOWEST NUMBERS.

BUT MY QUESTION FOR YOU IS TO ASK IS WHAT WERE THE QUALIFICATIONS AND HOW WERE THE RATINGS, UH, YOU KNOW, HOW DID YOU COME UP? HOW DID WE COME UP WITH THE RATINGS SELECTING COMMITTEE? UM, CAUSE IT SEEMS A LITTLE BIT, UH, UNFAIR OR BIASED NOW LEVEL.

NOW FROM A BOARD PERSPECTIVE, UM, I SIT ON THE SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLE WORK.

UM, WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME GIVING OUR INPUT AND OUR ADVICE AND THIS RFP DIDN'T EVEN COME UP FOR REVIEW.

IT IS CUSTOMARY THAT ALL OF THESE RFPS, ESPECIALLY THESE CONTRACTS THAT ARE AWARDED GO TO THE SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING BOARD, UM, FOR REVIEW AND FOR THEIR ADVICE AND FOR THEIR RECOMMENDATION.

AND FOR SOME REASON THAT DIDN'T, IT DID NOT ALLOW, I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS NOT ME.

THAT SHOULD BE A QUESTION THAT SHOULD BE ASKED AS A BOARD MEMBER.

YOU KNOW, WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME TO, TO DO THESE THINGS AND IF NOT, WHY DO WE HAVE THE, UH, THE LAST THING I'D LIKE TO ADD IS AS A CITIZEN, YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS, THE COUNTY, THE COUNCILMAN, YOU GUYS, ALL, WE ALL PUT FORTH A LOT OF EFFORT OR HECK THIS COUNTY BETTER.

SORRY.

IF P WAS, IS, UH, BEGINNING TO SHOW LEADERSHIP TO SHOW THE VISION, UM, TO CREATE NEW INDUSTRIES, TO DEVELOP A PROCESS THAT'S NEW AND NOT GO WITH THE SAME OLD THING WE'VE BEEN DOING FOR 25 YEARS.

AND I WOULD ASK THAT YOU LOOK, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE LORD AND WHERE IT'S GOING TO GO ASK YOURSELF, WHERE IS THIS GOING TO REALLY IS THE RIGHT, UH, RIGHT ROAD AND RIGHT PATH FOR THE COUNTY INTO THE, WE ALL KNOW THAT THE LANDFILL AND IT'S CONTRACTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT ARE CRITICAL.

YOU KNOW, THEY KIND OF HIDE BACK IN THE, IN THE, IN THE WOODS, YOU KNOW, BUT THEY ARE CRITICAL TO EVERYTHING WE DO.

AND, UH, I BELIEVE THE COURT BELIEVES THAT THE COUNTY SHOULD TAKE OWNERSHIP AND THIS AWARD REFLECTS THE OPPOSITE OF TAKING OWNERSHIP.

UM, SO WITH THAT, YOU KNOW, JUST, I WOULD ASK THAT AS YOU GUYS LOOK AT THIS, TO TAKE THOSE THINGS IN CONSIDERATION, AS A BUSINESS OWNER WHO SPENDS TAXES AS A CITIZEN, I PAY TAXES.

AND AS A BOARD MEMBER, I GIVE MY TIME AND I DO FEEL VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT THE DIRECTION THAT THIS IS GOING.

UM, I WOULD ASK THAT YOU GUYS GIVE IT THAT SAME FUN.

OTHER THAN THAT, THANK YOU.

IT'S NOT LIKE, THANK YOU, MIKE.

UH, IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE THAT, UH, IS THERE TO SPEAK? YES.

MY NAME IS CHRIS FISHER FROM GLASSWORKS S C A NEW MANOR GLASS MANUFACTURING COMPANY IN BUFORD.

WHAT'S THAT? YOU'RE WELCOME.

THANK YOU.

WE HAVE A NEW GLASS MANUFACTURING COMPANY.

WE STARTED IN BUFORD, SOUTH CAROLINA.

WE BOUGHT PARKER HANNIFIN BUILDING, WHICH ARE THE 84,000 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING ON 35 ACRES.

WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO TAKE 20,000 TONS OF GLASS.

WE PUT A BID IN TO DO GLASS ONLY COLLECTION FOR THE COUNTY.

THE GOAL IS TO SAVE THE COUNTY MONEY, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.

SO I'D LIKE THE BOARD TO RECONSIDER TAKING THE GLASS OUT OF THE BID, PLEASE.

AND LET US HANDLE THE GLASS DIRECTLY FOR THE COUNTY.

SO IT'S SIMPLE.

WE'LL HANDLE THE EDUCATION, WE'LL PROCESS IT, AND WE'LL MAKE NEW MATERIAL AND JOBS IN THE COUNTY.

ANY QUESTIONS SORTED? YOU PUT A BID IN? WE DID.

WE DID.

UM, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND WELCOME TO THE COUNTY.

UH,

[00:10:01]

NOT, NOT HEARING ANY WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE AGENDA.

UM, FIRST ITEM, UM, I'M GOING TO TAKE THESE IN, IN GROUPS.

FIRST ITEM IS ITEMS. UH, IT LOOKS LIKE BASICALLY A SEVEN THROUGH 13 WITHDRAWAL AIRPORT RELATED, UH, FIRST I'M SORRY.

I, I MISSED

[7. ASSISTANT COUNTY ADMINISTRATORS REPORT]

UH, JARED, GO AHEAD AND GIVE US THE NUMBER SEVEN FIRST.

OKAY.

UM, JUST A QUICK UPDATE ON SEVERAL THINGS GOING ON INSIDE OF ENGINEERING DIVISION, WHICH WILL BE COMING FORWARD, THE VSD AND LATER MEETINGS.

UM, OTHERS ARE JUST HAPPENINGS IN THE ENGINEERING, UM, OVER IN SOLID WASTE FOR DECALS FROM PATIENTS STILL ONGOING 47,967.

UM, THE SUSTAINABILITY CAMPUS STAFF IS WITH THE CONSULTANT ASSISTANT CENTRAL SITE LOCATIONS FOR A SUSTAINABLE, AND WE JUST RECEIVED SOME INFORMATION LAST WEEK FROM OUR CONSULTANT AND HOPE TO BRING SOMETHING FORWARD FOR DISCUSSION AT THE NEXT POC MEAN FAR AS TRANSPORTATION IS CONCERNED.

US 2 78, UH, S V D ASSOCIATES, FIRST THURSDAY, JULY 22ND, FROM TWO O'CLOCK TO 7:00 PM AT THE ALLEN REC CENTER ON HILTON HEAD, VERBALLY COMMENTS SESSION WILL BEGIN AT 6:00 PM.

LIFE PARTICIPATE MUST SIGN UP IN ADVANCE, FIND OUT MORE INFORMATION REGARDING THE MEETING AT W FOUR DOOR.ORG/PUBLIC STAT HERE.

AS FAR AS OUR PATHWAYS, AS PART OF THE SALES TAX SALES TAX PROGRAM, WE'VE CONCLUDED THE PUBLIC TUNNEL PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD FOR RIGO ROAD AND BLOCK AND PARKWAY, AND WE'RE MOVING THOSE ON TO FINAL DESIGN.

WE CONTINUE TO WORK ON COMMUNITY OUTREACH, SURVEYING AND PRELIMINARY DESIGN ON THE OTHER PRIORITIZED ACTIVE ROOMS IS REALLY QUICKLY.

IT HAS BEEN OPENED AS A BRATTY LAST KEY PROJECT IN SALES THAT WE COMPLETED.

I'M HAPPY.

I THINK A LOT OF THOSE RESIDENTS, UM, NORTHERN LADIES ISLAND LIT A SO, UH, SURVEY AND PRELIMINARY DESIGN WORK YOU CAN USE ON THE OTHER ROADWAY AND WE'RE WORKING ON A FEDERAL RES BRAND ADVOCATE AND PULL US 21 CORRIDOR PROJECTS DUE IN JULY.

AS FAR AS THE AIRPORT, THE AIRPORT EXPANSION PROJECT, WE'RE STILL COORDINATING WITH OUR CONTRACTOR OR LTC MIDDLE DOCUMENTS TO GET STARTED IN COORDINATING THAT WITH OUR AIRLINE PARTNERS, AS FAR AS THE WORK, THE PLAN WORKED.

SO IT PASSENGER COUNT CONTINUES THE GROWTH, UM, AND YOU CAN STAY CLOSE TO, UM, FULL, FULL THERE IN THE AIRPORT.

AND JOHN'S GOING TO EXPAND ON THAT AND JUST THE MOMENT FACILITIES MANAGEMENT, OUR BOAT LANDING MASTER PLAN ARE WE RECEIVED PROPOSALS ON THAT RECENTLY, AND WE SHOULDN'T HAVE A CONTRACT COMING FOR AWARD, UM, IN THE NEXT PFC MEETING, THE OLD FEDERAL COURTHOUSE, WE ALL, WE RECEIVED HPAC BIDS ON THAT ON JUNE 9TH.

THIS IS THE BIGGEST PART OF THE RENOVATION FOR THAT PROJECT.

THE FINAL RENOVATION TIMELINE WILL BE DEPENDENT, DETERMINED UPON THE HPAC ORDERS, AS YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THAT HAS BEEN IMPACTED BACK COVID AND THE EQUIPMENT.

ONCE WE GET THAT ORDER IN WE'LL KNOW EXACTLY WHEN THAT'S I'M IN IS TO BE A NEGATIVE TO THE SITE.

UM, CAPITAL PROJECTS, MERLOT PARK SITE WORK, OR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROJECT.

WE'RE STILL FINALIZING OUR MOA WITH THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND EXPECTED TO ISSUE A NOTICE TO PROCEED TO THE CONTRACTOR IN THE COMING WEEKS.

THAT'S FIRE STATION 31, THE WORKS ON SCHEDULE, AND ACTUALLY TO HAVE A COI BY THE END OF THIS MONTH, YOU'RE IN OUR EMS FIRE STATION AT SUN CITY.

UM, WE HAVE THE MLA THAT HAS THAT'S EXECUTED WITH THE BULLOCK IN TOWN CHIP, OUR DISTRICT, AND THE PROJECT IS GOING OUT NEXT WEEK.

AND LIBRARY JUST PROJECTS AHEAD OF SCHEDULE.

WE CONDUCTED THE FINAL INSPECTION ON FRIDAY AND WORKING ON PUNCH BESIDE WHICH CURRENTLY ARTHUR HORN PROJECT, THIS PROJECT, UM, HAS TAKEN A HIT A LITTLE BIT ON THE, ON THE PLANNED SCHEDULE, CONTINUED THE MAIN THING TO PROGRESS THE ELEVATOR SHAFT AND ELEVATOR 11 ON THE INTERIOR INFERIOR BECAUSE

[00:15:01]

WE MET WITH AND COORDINATED WITH OUR DEBRIEFING MANAGEMENT TO MONITORING CONTRACTORS AND ALL THAT IN ADVANCE OF HURRICANE SEASON.

AND OUR GROUNDS MAINTENANCE AND ROAD MAINTENANCE EFFORTS ARE IN FULL FORCE WITH THE SUMMER GROWING SEASON UPON US AND THE FROM, UH, AND LASTLY FLEET MAINTENANCE.

WE'RE WORKING ON SOME, SEVERAL INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS TO OVERHAUL OUR FLEET SERVICES.

UM, AND WE'LL BE BRINGING FORWARD SOME DISCUSSIONS ON THAT AND COMING HERE TO POC, THAT IS ALL I HAVE IS KIND OF UPDATE FROM ENGINEERING DIVISION.

OKAY.

LET'S MOVE ON TO NUMBER EIGHT, WHICH IS AN UPDATE FROM JOHN ON THE PARTICULARLY THE SHORT TERM CONGESTION THAT WE'RE SEEING AT THE HILTON HEAD AIRPORT.

AND IF HE WANTS TO ADD ANYTHING TO WHAT JARED MENTIONED ABOUT THE, UH, THE LONGTERM TERMINAL PLAN.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

WELL, I CAN JUST ECHO WHAT JARED SAID ABOUT THE NUMBERS OR APOLOGIZES THAT SPEAK.

WE DO HAVE AIRCRAFT TAXING BY MY WINDOW, SO IT MIGHT GET LOUD FOR A MOMENT.

UH, WE ARE, WE'RE KIND OF CALLING IT THE SUMMER SURGE.

UM, WE, THIS PAST WEEKEND WITH 3,500 PEOPLE THROUGH THE TERM HALL DISTRICT ONE WAY.

SO YOU CAN DOUBLE THAT AND THEN ADD MAYBE 20% TO THAT FOR THE PEOPLE WHO DROP OFF AND PICK UP.

SO WE'RE LOOKING AT SEVEN, 8,000 PEOPLE IN THAT BUILDING ON, ON WEEKEND, PRETTY BUSY.

IT'S THE SAME BUILDING THAT SAW JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AT THE END OF MARCH, WHICH IS WHEN THE SEASON WAS ALREADY GETTING INTO ITS STRIDE.

WE'RE SEEING ABOUT NINE.

SO WE'VE DOUBLED THAT IN JUST A COUPLE OF MONTHS WITH THE SAME BUILDING.

SO WE'RE, WE'RE DEFINITELY SEEING THE SURGE AND SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE REALLY JUST IN THE PAST THREE WEEKS OR SO, REALLY SINCE MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND, THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE INSIDE THE TERM ON THAT, THIS IS JUST THE AIRPORTS ACTIONS THAT WE'VE TAKEN.

WE'VE HAD A LOT MORE COORDINATION WITH TSA.

TSA IS TRYING TO KIND OF MEET HER, THE THROUGHPUT.

AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS THAT OUR WHOLE ROOMS THAT ARE POST SECURITY ARE NOT THAT BIG.

SO WE CAN'T HAVE EVERYBODY SHOW UP EARLY AND THEN JUST GO THROUGH THE CHECKPOINT AND SIT IN THE, IN THE GATE AREAS, WAITING FOR THE AIRCRAFT.

CAUSE IF THERE'S JUST NOT ENOUGH ROOM, SO WE'RE COORDINATED WITH TSA TO, TO MEET HER JUST THE NEXT FLIGHTS THROUGH, WE CAN FIT 30 PLUS FLIGHTS ON THE OTHER SIDE, BUT WE CAN'T FIT EVERYBODY.

ANOTHER THING THAT WE'VE DONE, UH, TO THAT END IS TO UPDATE OUR FLIGHT INFORMATION DISPLAYS, WHICH WE JUST CALL FEDS.

AND THOSE ARE THE MONITORS IN THE TERMINAL, IN THE LOBBY AREA THAT SHOW YOU WHICH FLIGHTS ARE DEPARTING AND ARRIVING.

AND WE'VE GOT A SCREEN NOW THAT, THAT ALTERNATES WITH THOSE FLIGHTS NOW SHOWS ONLY THE TWO OR THREE FLIGHTS THAT ARE BEING ACCEPTED THROUGH THE TSA CHECKPOINT AT ANY GIVEN TIME.

AND SO WHAT WE'RE HOPING TO DO AND THAT THAT'S PAIRED WITH THE PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT COUNTY CHANNEL HELPED PRODUCE FOR US.

AND WE'RE HOPING THAT THROUGH THE, UH, THE VOCAL CUES AND THE VISUAL CUES, THAT MORE AND MORE PEOPLE WILL WE'LL WAIT TO GET IN LINE.

AND THAT WAY YOU DON'T HAVE TO STAND THERE FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS OR HOWEVER LONG IT TAKES TO GET THROUGH THAT LINE.

YOU COULD JUST WAIT UNTIL YOUR FLIGHT IS GOING TO BE CALLED THROUGH.

WE'VE ALSO JUST LAST WEEKEND.

UH, JUST BEFORE FRIDAY, BEFORE THE WEEKEND STARTED, WE ADDED A POP-UP ALERT ON OUR WEBSITE.

SO AS SOON AS YOU GO TO THE AIRPORT WEBSITE, HILTON, HEAD AIRPORT.COM, YOU'LL BE GREETED WITH AN ALERT RIGHT THERE ON THE SCREEN.

AND IT'LL TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE BUSY SUBURB TRAFFIC AND THE FLOW.

AND IT'LL EXPLAIN TO YOU THAT THE FOLKS ARE ONLY GOING THROUGH THE CHECKPOINT WHEN THEIR FLIGHT IS CALLED.

THAT'S ALSO BEEN UP ON SOCIAL MEDIA OVER THE WEEKEND AS WELL, AND THAT'LL CONTINUE TO DISPLAY JUST SO THAT FOLKS KNOW WHEN THEY'RE PLANNING THE TRAVELS OR WHEN THEY'RE CHECKING OUT OF THEIR HOTELS OR THEIR SHORT-TERM RENTALS, THAT THEY'LL UNDERSTAND WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN THEY GET TO THE AIRPORT.

UH, WE'VE ALSO COORDINATED ALL OF THIS WITH THE AIRLINES.

UH, WE HAVE PRETTY FREQUENT, UM, INFORMAL STATION MANAGER MEETINGS, UH, AND USUALLY THAT WILL TAKE PART IN A CONFERENCE ROOM OR MAYBE VIA ZOOM OR WEBEX.

NOW IT'S USUALLY ME OR MY DEPUTY GOING OVER TO THE TERMINAL AND JUST WALKING THROUGH AND JUST GETTING A HOLD OF THE STATION MANAGERS WHEN WE CAN TO, TO PASS WORD, BECAUSE THINGS ARE CHANGING SO RAPIDLY.

I, I DID THAT JUST THIS MORNING MYSELF.

UM, LET'S SEE.

ALSO HAVING, UH, CHRIS ONBOARD IS THE PIO HAS

[00:20:01]

SO CHRIS IS GOING TO HELP US WITH OUR SOCIAL MEDIA AND WITH THE WEBSITE IDEAS, AND ALSO WITH, OF COURSE OUR NEWS RELEASES AS THEY GO OUT, UH, TOMORROW AFTERNOON WE'LL HAVE INSTALL THE, UH, A LARGE SCREEN MONITOR THAT WILL BE RIGHT NEXT TO THE TSA CHECKPOINT SO THAT THE FOLKS WHO ARE, WHO ARE IN LINE AND WALKING THROUGH THE LOBBY WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THIS LARGE DISPLAY AND ON THAT DISPLAY WILL BE IMAGES OF THE NEW TERMINAL.

SO WE'VE GOT THE RENDERINGS FROM THE ARCHITECTS AND WE'LL CYCLE THROUGH ON A LOOP SO THAT FOLKS CAN SEE NOW WHILE THEY MAY BE STANDING IN LINE NOW ON A SMALL BUILDING OR WITHIN A COUPLE OF YEARS, THEY'LL HAVE A NEW EXPERIENCE.

SO WE'LL, WE'LL HAVE THAT UP HERE JUST THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.

UH, WE'RE ALSO COORDINATING WITH DIFFERENT TROLLEY SERVICES AND SHUTTLE SERVICES WITH THE RESORTS AND ALSO WITH, WITH BREEZE TROLLEY, UH, WE'VE GOTTEN AN AD UP ON OUR WEBSITE AND THEY'RE ACTUALLY, UH, HELPING OUT BY TAKING BASICALLY ADVANCED RESERVATIONS.

SO IF THERE ARE TRAVELERS WHO KNOW THAT THEY NEED TO GET PICKED UP AT THE AIRPORT, THEY CAN SCHEDULE AHEAD OF TIME WITH THE BREEZE TROLLERS COME AND PICK THEM UP WHEN THEIR FLIGHT ARRIVES.

SO IT WORKS ALMOST LIKE WHAT CAN OVERDOSE.

SHE ALSO, UM, WE'VE GOT A CONSTRUCTION PROJECT COMING UP.

WE, WE KIND OF LOOK AT EVERY DIFFERENT OPTION THAT WE CAN DO TO MAKE THINGS BETTER.

ONE OF THOSE LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO IMPROVE A LITTLE, ADD A LITTLE BIT MORE SPACE TO THE TSA CHECKPOINT AS CONTRACTORS.

NOW WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO, UM, BREAK THROUGH ANOTHER WALL ON THE TERMINAL AND PUT A NEW DOOR IN AND A NEW EXIT LANE, BASICALLY FOR FOLKS WHO ARE DEEPLY IN THE AIRCRAFT.

SO, UH, JUST BECAUSE THE STRUCTURE IS THERE DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE WON'T CHANGE IT.

IF IT'S GOING TO END UP BEING A POSITIVE RESULT FOR THE CUSTOMER.

SO WE'RE LITERALLY LOOKING AT EVERY OPTION WE CAN TO IMPROVE THE EXPERIENCE FOR OUR CUSTOMERS AND ALONG THOSE LINES IS, UM, IT'S JUST KIND OF FUNNY.

IT GETS SOME PEOPLE TO LAUGH, BUT, UH, WE HAVE ASKED, WE HAVE FRIENDS WHO ARE FOUR LEGGED, THE COMFORT DOGS AND THERAPY DOGS, AND USUALLY THE, THE COMFORT DOGS WE'VE ASKED THEM JUST TO COME IN MORE OFTEN.

SO ON THE WEEKENDS, YOU KNOW, AS, AS FOLKS ARE BUSY OR STRESSED ABOUT TRAVEL, IT'S OFTEN NICE TO HAVE A NICE SMILING GOLDEN RETRIEVER THERE TO, TO MEET YOU OR TO TAKE YOUR, YOUR INTO YOUR KIDS' MINDS OFF OF THE STRESS OF TRAVEL.

SO BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THAT REALLY HAS A, A GOOD POSITIVE EFFECT THERE IN THE TERMINAL.

AND JUST BEFORE THIS MEETING, I GOT OFF A CALL WITH A UNITED AIRLINES.

YOU MAY REMEMBER THEY'RE THE ONES WHO ARE THEY'RE SEASONAL.

AND THEY JUST CAME IN WITH THOSE ADDITIONAL SIX CITIES WITH THE POINT TO POINT SERVICE.

SO THEY TOOK US UP TO 16 CITIES THAT WE NOW SERVE.

JUST REMEMBER, TWO YEARS AGO, WE SERVED A SINGLE CITY IN TWO YEARS.

WE WENT FROM, FROM ONE TO 16.

SO IT'S BEEN A PRETTY QUICK GROWTH, BUT I HAD A PLAN WITH UNITED, UH, PLANNING FOLKS OR A CALL WITH UNITED PLANNING.

AND THEY'RE VERY COGNIZANT OF THE FACT THAT THAT WE'RE PRETTY CONGESTED AT THE AIRPORT.

AND SO WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO DO IS BASICALLY INJECT A LITTLE BIT OF SUNSHINE BETWEEN SOME OF THEIR FLIGHTS.

SO THEY'VE ALREADY CHANGED SOME OF THE JULY SCHEDULES, AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO CHANGE THE AUGUST SCHEDULES A LITTLE BIT.

SO THE FOLKS ON THE GROUND HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE BREATHING ROOM, SORRY, AIRCRAFT A LITTLE BIT EASIER JOB OF MOVING THE AIRCRAFT AROUND THE AIRPORT AS WELL.

SO GLAD TO HAVE THAT HAPPEN WITH UNITED.

I KNOW THE OTHER AIRLINES ARE ALSO LOOKING AT THAT.

WE DID PUT OUT A REQUEST TO THEM TO, TO LOOK AT THEIR SCHEDULING.

SO IT SEEMS TO BE WORKING LITTLE BY LITTLE AND SO FAR, WE'VE SEEN THE TSA CHECKPOINT WAIT TIMES REDUCE FROM ON MEMORIAL DAY, WE HAD MAX WAIT TIMES OF 44 MINUTES THIS PAST WEEKEND WITH BASICALLY THE SAME NUMBER OF TRAVELERS GOING THROUGH THE TERMINAL.

THAT WAY TOM WAS DOWN FROM 44 MINUTES TO 18 MINUTES.

SO SOMETHING'S WORKING A LITTLE BIT BETTER THERE.

SO WE'LL CONTINUE TO SHARPEN THAT SAW AND MAKE THINGS BETTER AS WE GO THROUGH THE SUMMER.

THAT'S THE SHORT TERM UPSTAIRS ON THE LONG-TERM SIDE, WE STILL WAIT FOR A CALL BACK FROM SYLVAN, BAR'S FRIENDS AT THE STATE HOUSE, AND ALSO AT THE, UH, ON THE FEDERAL LEVEL FOR SOME OF THAT FUNDING FOR THE TERMINAL.

UH, AS I SAID, WE WILL DISPLAY THE RENDERINGS OF THE NEW TERMINAL BUILDING INSIDE THE CURRENT TERMINAL.

SO FOLKS CAN SEE WHAT'S COMING.

WE DEFINITELY ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING THAT MOVING AS SOON AS WE CAN JUST CLOSE UP THAT FUNDING PICTURE ON THAT FRONT.

IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS THERE, I KNOW WE'VE GOT SOME ACTION ITEMS TO GET INTO AS WELL, BUT I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS AT THAT POINT.

OKAY, WELL, LET'S MOVE TO THE CONTRACT.

WE HAVE, UM, I THINK SIX

[00:25:02]

OKAY.

THAT SOUNDS GOOD.

THE FIRST ITEM THAT'S UP IS AN OUR VEHICLE AND R STANDS FOR AIRPORT RESCUE FIREFIGHTING.

THAT'S A, BASICALLY A SPECIALIZED A FIRETRUCK.

IT COMES WITH A LOT OF EXTRA GEAR, SPECIALIZED FOR AIRCRAFT, UM, RESCUE THAT IS ACTUALLY A HUNDRED PERCENT FUNDED BY THE FAA, WHICH IS GREAT.

THAT'S PART OF THE, THE COVID RECOVERY.

THAT'S COMING DOWN THROUGH THE FAA.

AND THAT REPRESENTS A CRITICAL PIECE OF GEAR ON THE AIRPORT BECAUSE OF THE SIZE AND THE FREQUENCY OF THE FLIGHTS AIRCRAFT THAT WE HAVE AT THE AIRPORT.

NOW WE NEED TO HAVE THE SECOND TRUCK ACTUALLY REPLACE THE ONE THAT WE HAVE, BUT WE'RE GOING TO MAINTAIN BOTH OF THEM BECAUSE WE NEED TO HAVE TWO TRUCKS.

SO THAT WILL KEEP US WITHIN THE WHAT'S CALLED THE, UH, THE PART 1 39 REGULATIONS.

SO THAT TRUCK, AGAIN, AS I SAID, THAT'S A A HUNDRED PERCENT FUNDED.

UM, THE AMOUNT WE'RE LOOKING TO CONTRACT WITH OSHKOSH, THAT'S ONE OF THE TWO, UH, GROUPS THAT, THAT BID ON THIS PROJECT, THAT ONE, OH, BUT THAT'S FOR 690, THE TOTAL PRODUCT, $699,380.

AND AS I SAID, THAT'S 100% FUNDED BY FAA GRANTS.

NOW, PART OF THAT AS WELL, WE, WE DO NOT HAVE THE GRANT YET.

IT'S NOT BEEN, WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN THE FORMAL OFFER LETTER FROM THE FFA, BUT IT'S ACTUALLY BEEN ANNOUNCED ALREADY ON THE FEDERAL LEVEL.

WE DID RECEIVE THAT FROM THE FAA.

SO THAT WILL BE COMING RELATIVELY SOON AS AN OFFER LETTER.

SO WE'LL, WE'LL THAT, HAS YOU SETBACK GRANT, I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY HOW SOMEBODY WANTS TO AUTHORIZE THAT.

I THINK LAST TIME WE HAD A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZED ON YOUR HAIR TO ACCEPT THAT GRANT.

UM, SO IT'S ALMOST A TWO-PARTER I GUESS, IF YOU WANT TO TAKE IT THAT WAY WITH NUMBER ONE, ENTERING INTO A CONTRACT WITH OSHKOSH, NUMBER TWO, ACCEPTING THAT GRANT WHEN IT COMES THROUGH, THAT'S THE FIRST ITEM, THE SECOND ITEM ON THE LIST IS A CHANGE ORDER, AND THIS IS A CHANGE ORDER FOR QUALITY ENTERPRISES.

AND THEY'RE THE GROUP THAT WORKED ON MOST OF THE AIRFIELD PROJECTS FOR US SO FAR, THE TAXIWAY, AND THEN THIS WAS THE RUNWAY EXPANSION, AND THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF GRANT MONEY LEFT IN THIS ONE.

AND SO WE ENTERTAINED A CHANGE ORDER WITH QUALITY TO ADD SOME, UM, SOME MATTING AROUND OUR AIRFIELD LIGHTING.

AND THESE ARE BASICALLY HEAVY RUBBER MATS THAT GET STAKED DOWN AND IT HELPED TO EAT VEGETATION OFF OF THE BASIS OF THE AIRFIELD LIGHTING.

AND IT ALSO HELPS TO PREVENT A LITTLE BIT OF A ROJAN WHEN WE HAVE THE THUNDERSTORMS AND THE HEAVY RAINS AT THE AIRFIELD.

SO IT BECOMES, UH, A SAFETY IMPROVEMENT FOR US AT THE AIRFIELDS, AS WELL AS A REDUCTION IN OUR LONG-TERM MAINTENANCE COSTS.

SO THAT WAS THE, UH, THE BATHROOM MAJORITY OF THE CHANGE ORDER.

AND THE CHANGE ORDER WAS RESULTS IN, UH, A CONTRACT INCREASE OF JUST OVER $264,000.

UM, BUT IT IS ALL COVERED BY AN FAA GRANT, BUT SINCE THAT WAS AN INCREASE IN THE CONTRACT PRICE, IT WILL COME TO YOU AS A COMMITTEE AND THEN ON COUNSEL THAT'S THE SECOND ITEM.

THE THIRD ONE ON THE LIST IS OUR SUMMER MARKETING EFFORT.

AND THIS IS A COOPERATIVE MARKETING EFFORT THAT WE'VE DONE.

OKAY.

IT WASN'T, I HAD WALKED IN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND THEIR VISITOR CONVENTION BUREAU.

AND WHAT WE DO IS WE TEAM WITH THEM, AND THEN WE USE KIND OF THEIR MARKETING POWER, OBVIOUSLY TO GET THE MESSAGE OUT.

THIS IS STRICTLY A DIGITAL CAMPAIGN THAT WE'LL DO WITH THEM, AND WE'LL USE THEIR MARKETING CONSULTANT PUTS US TOGETHER.

AGAIN, WE'RE GOING FROM MARKETING AND IN ONE CITY TO NOW MARKETING AND BEING IN DIFFERENT CITIES, PLUS SOME OF THE KEY CONNECTING CITIES.

SO AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, IT'S A HUGE EFFORT TO TRY TO GET SOME WORD OUT TO THOSE DIFFERENT CITIES, TO DRAW PEOPLE INTO THE ISLAND.

SO THAT'S A, IT'S A SEVENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLAR ITEM THAT WE'RE DOING WITH THE VCB, BREAK IT UP INTO THREE PAYMENTS OF $25,000 A PIECE.

AND THAT IS 100% REIMBURSABLE BY SOUND HILTON, HEAD ISLAND, EIGHT TAX FUNDS.

SO, BUT AGAIN, IT'S REIMBURSABLE.

THAT'S WHY IT COMES TO YOU FIRST AS A COMMITTEE ITEM.

ALL RIGHT, THE NEXT ONE IS A JANITORIAL, A SHORT TERM CONTRACT.

UH, AND THIS IS WITH LOW COUNTRY.

COMMERCIAL SERVICES ARE LOCATED CLOSE TO THE AIRPORT ON HILTON THAT ISLAND.

AND THE REASON WE'RE DOING THIS IS WE REALLY NEED TO RAISE THE BAR ON THE JANITORIAL SERVICES THAT WE HAVE IN THE TERMINAL.

AS I MENTIONED, GOT A RECORD NUMBER

[00:30:01]

AND OUR EXISTING CONTRACT WITHIN THE COUNTY WAS, WAS NOT ABLE TO ANSWER THAT FOR US, OR WE'RE NOT ABLE TO PROVIDE THE LEVEL OF SERVICE THAT WE NEEDED.

AND SO THE AIRPORT HAS, UH, HAS DECIDED TO GO IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION AND LOW COUNTRY COMMUNITY SERVICES OR COMMERCIAL SERVICES WILL BE PROVIDING A SHORT TERM.

WE'VE GOT A 90 DAY CONTRACT, IS THAT 90 DAYS WE'RE GOING TO REBID THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE AIRPORT, CUSTODIAL AND JANITORIAL SERVICES, UM, TO SEE, YOU KNOW, WHO, WHO ELSE MAY RESPOND.

WE DID DO THIS ONCE, BUT WE DID NOT GET SATISFACTORY RESPONSES.

SO THIS WILL BE KIND OF A BRIDGE EFFORT JUST FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS.

SO WE CAN BUILD THIS OUT.

WE ANTICIPATE THAT LOW COUNTRY COMMERCIAL WOULD PROBABLY BID ON THAT LARGER CONTRACT AS WELL.

AND THEN THE FINAL ONE IS A VERY EASY ONE.

IT'S JUST AN UPDATE WITH THE TOWER AGREEMENT WHEN YOU SIGNED WITH THE FAA.

AND EVERY COUPLE OF YEARS, THIS JUST COMES UP SO THAT WE CAN REVIEW THE ASSOCIATES, THE SIGNING AUTHORITIES AT BOTH END, BOTH THE COUNTY END AND THE FAA AND STAFF CHANGES.

SO WE JUST UPDATE THE AGREEMENT TO REFLECT THE LATEST FOLKS WHO NEED TO SIGN THAT.

AND THAT'S, THAT'S ALL, THIS IS UPDATING ON OUR SIDE FOR HERITAGE AND THAT'S ALL, WE'VE GOT THREE OR FOUR QUESTIONS FOR JOHN.

OKAY.

ANYBODY WANT TO VOTE ON ANY OF THESE ITEMS SEPARATELY? GERALD, GERALD HAD A QUESTION.

I HAVE A QUESTION.

YEAH, GO GERALD GO.

YUP.

ALL RIGHT, JOHN, GOOD PRESENTATION ON THE JANITORIAL SERVICES.

UM, ITEM NUMBER 12.

UM, MOST OF THESE, UH, CONTRACTS THAT WE, UM, CONTRACT OUT FOR JANITORIAL SERVICES FOR THE COUNTY, AS WELL AS FOR THE AIRPORT.

UM, ARE THEY PROVIDING HEALTH BENEFIT COVERAGE FOR THEIR EMPLOYEES THAT I DON'T KNOW OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, I BELIEVE THEY DO, BUT I WOULD HAVE TO CHECK AND GET BACK TO YOU ON THAT.

ALL RIGHT.

AND IF THEY DON'T THEN CAN WE CONSIDER ASKING THEM TO, UM, PUT THAT IN THEIR BID? I CAN LOOK AT THAT AND TALK WITH DAVE THOMAS AND SEE HOW WE WOULD HANDLE THAT.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU.

SO I SENSED THAT, THAT COULD BE ANSWERED, UH, NEXT COUNCIL MEETING IF THIS BOOST FOR APPROVAL.

OKAY.

[Items 8 - 13]

UH, THEY'RE A LITTLE OVER A MILLION DOLLARS ABOUT 93% REIMBURSABLE BY OTHERS ARE FLIPPED FOR THAT MOTION.

I COULDN'T HEAR WHO WAS, BUT, UH, THE SECOND MADE THE MOTION AND I WILL MAKE A SECOND.

RIGHT.

OKAY.

ANY OBJECTIONS HEARING NO OBJECTIONS.

UH, THESE ITEMS ARE APPROVED, THEN MOVE ON TO COUNCIL FOR THOSE THAT REQUIRE COUNCIL APPROVAL.

THE NEXT BLOCK OF ITEMS

[14. RECOMMENDATION FOR FY22 CONTRACT RENEWAL APPROVALS FROM VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS TO THE PUBLIC FACILITIES COMMITTEE.]

IT'S THERE UNDER ITEM NUMBER 14.

AND, UH, IF, UH, BETWEEN, UH, JARED AND, UH, DAVE THOMAS, IF YOU ALL WOULD WALK US THROUGH THOSE.

AND AGAIN, IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ALONG THE WAY, ASK AND WE'LL, UH, SEE IF WE CAN, UH, TAKE THESE UP, BUT, UH, ALL AT ONE TIME, YES.

EXCUSE ME.

I CAN GIVE US THE CHAIRMAN IS DAVE THOMAS DIRECTOR OF CURSING.

I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A POINT ON THE ACTUAL AGENDA.

IT'S LISTED A THROUGH J IF YOU LOOK AT ITEM G I'D GO ACROSS, IT SAYS G2, G2, GTG WASTE TIRE HAULING.

SO THAT IS ANOTHER SEPARATE CONTRACT.

SO THERE IS ACTUALLY A TOTAL OF 10 THAT SHOULD BE LISTED ON THE F ON THE ACTUAL AGENDA.

AND IT IS LISTED AND COVERED IN THE LIST OF DOCUMENTS THAT WE PROVIDED ON THE EXCEL SPREADSHEET.

BUT AS, UH, MR. CHAIRMAN STATED, THESE ARE, MOST OF THESE ARE FOR SOLID WASTE, UM, CONTRACT RENEWALS, UM, TO INCLUDE THE PESKY ISLANDS, UH, THE PESKY TRANSFER SOLID WASTE WITH DOLPHINS, SHARED MANAGEMENT.

UH, IF THEY HAD ANY INCREASE, IT WOULD BE DUE TO COVID-19 OR FUEL COST, UH, WISHES ARE ACCEPTABLE.

UH, AND B CLEANING THE COST DID GO UP FROM WHAT WE PAID LAST YEAR, AND THAT WAS DUE BECAUSE WE HAD, UH, ADDITIONAL, UM, BUILDINGS TO THEIR CONTRACT AND SUBMIT

[00:35:01]

IF YOU WANT TO TALK OR PULL ANY OF THESE, UH, RENEWALS APART, UH, ASIDE AND TALK ABOUT IT, WE CAN, BUT I RECOMMEND WE MOVE FORWARD WITH APPROVING THE RULES THAT STATED ON, UM, ON I A AND B CLEANING SERVICES, JUST HAVING HEARD, WHAT WE HEARD FROM JOHN ROOM BOARD ABOUT THE AIRPORT IS AMB CLEANING SERVICES CURRENTLY WAS, WAS THAT AMOUNT FOR THE AIRPORT INCLUDED IN THIS, OR WAS THAT ALREADY UNDER A SEPARATE CONTRACT? OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.

I DIDN'T KNOW IF WE NEEDED TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT.

NO, SIR.

OKAY.

I HAVE ONE, UM, THE FOLKS WHO MADE PUBLIC COMMENT MADE SOME INTERESTING COMMENTS, ANY WAY WE CAN ADDRESS THOSE, UM, THE GENTLEMAN THAT MADE THE PUBLIC COMMENTS.

AND IT'S GREAT IF, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ALL, UM, FOR MAKING SURE WE TREAT EVERYBODY FAIRLY AND OUR RESPONSES TO OUR RFP, IF YOU HAD ANYTHING, UH, PERMANENT, THAT WOULD BE A VALID OF PROTEST, HE CAN WRITE AND SEND A LETTER TO ME PROTESTING HIS, HIS, UH, CONCERNS.

BUT WE WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS.

I THINK JARED WOULD PROBABLY TOUCH THIS WITH, UH, CINDY CARTER, OUR MANAGER FOR SOLID WASTE, BUT THEY'LL, THEY'LL ADDRESS THIS AS WELL.

WHY WE SELECTED WASTE MANAGEMENT FOR THE ACTUAL CONTRACT THAT WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT? IS THIS WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT? THE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR CONTRACT.

WE GET ADDRESSED THAT WHEN WE GET TO THAT PART.

YEAH.

THAT'S ACTUALLY ACTUALLY ITEM NUMBER 15, NOT A RENEWAL.

UM, ANY OTHER COMMENTS? YEAH.

JARED HAS A COMMENT.

SURE.

JARGON, BOTH GERALD AND JARED.

JARED.

NO, NO, DEAR DAVE, I JUST ASKED THE QUESTION ABOUT THE CLEANING CONTRACTS AND THE HEALTH BENEFITS, UH, THAT THESE, UH, CONTRACT, UH, PROVIDERS GIVE TO THE EMPLOYEES.

DO WE KNOW RATHER THIS CONTRACT THEN? UH, SO, UH, SUPPLY, UM, HEALTH BENEFITS TO THE EMPLOYEES, I WILL HAVE TO CHECK BACK WITH OUR, WITH OUR CONTRACTOR AB CLEANING.

I KNOW THEY PROVIDE RETIREMENT, BUT I'M NOT REALLY SURE ABOUT ACTUAL HEALTH CARE CAUSE MOST OF THESE JOBS ARE PART-TIME AND FULL-TIME NOW THEY MIGHT HAVE HEALTH BENEFITS FOR THEIR FULL-TIME MANAGERS, THE EX, BEFORE THE, UM, FOLKS THAT ACTUALLY DO THE CLEANING IN THE EVENING, THEY PROBABLY DON'T HAVE HEALTHCARE, BUT I CAN GET BACK TO YOU ON THAT.

ALL RIGHT.

SO IF, IF BY CHANCE THEY DON'T HAVE HEALTHCARE COVERAGE FOR THEM, THEN I WOULD SUGGEST THAT WE NOT APPROVE THIS UNTIL WE ACTUALLY ASSURE THAT THEY DO HAVE HEALTH COVERAGE.

AND AT WHAT COST WOULD THAT WOULD THAT COST THEM, UM, CAUSE FOR, IS INCREASE IN THIS, UH, CONTRACT BID.

I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE CAN ALWAYS LOOK AT THAT AND GO AHEAD AND APPROVE WHAT'S WHAT'S CURRENT BROUGHT BEFORE YOU, AND IF THEY ARE OFFERING HEALTHCARE, WE ALWAYS BRING IT BACK TO THEM TO RAISE OUR PRICE BECAUSE IT IS GOING TO COST SOME MONEY.

IF WE HAVE TO GO AND COVER THEIR HEALTH SERVICES.

MR. CHAIRMAN, I WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT ON THAT.

IF I MIGHT, YES.

TALKING ABOUT HEALTH COVERAGE, YOU NEED TO BE CAREFUL THAT YOU'RE NOT STEPPING ON THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT BECAUSE THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT PLAYS INTO A LOT OF THIS.

AND SO YOU CAN'T REALLY TALK ABOUT HEALTHCARE IN ISOLATION.

YOU HAVE TO TALK ABOUT IT IN THE CONTEXT OF HOW THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT APPLIES.

IT NEEDS TO PARTICULAR SITUATION, OR IT DOESN'T.

SO IT WAS PRETTY COMPLICATED.

SO I JUST CAUTIONED.

IF WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT HEALTHCARE FOR ANYBODY, LET'S MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTAND HOW IT COORDINATES OR DOESN'T WITH THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT.

MR. CHAIRMAN, I HAD A COMMENT I'M VERY GLAD TO SEE THE ELECTRONICS WASTE IN THE HOUSEHOLD, HAZARDOUS WASTE SURFACES CONTINUE.

THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT SERVICE THAT WE DO FOR OUR COUNTY AND OUR CONSTITUENTS.

THANK YOU.

OKAY.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? OKAY.

SO WHAT DO WE HAVE BEFORE US HERE IS ABOUT A $6 MILLION IN, UH, IN, UH, RENEWABLES PLUS ABOUT 600,000 FOR THE CLEANING.

SO A LITTLE SHORT OF 17 MILLION.

UM, I THINK THERE'S A ISSUE HAVE BEEN RAISED THAT COULD BE ANSWERED AT, UH, AT COUNCIL, UH, RELATIVE TO THE, UH, UM, MEDICAL COVERAGE THAT THE FOLKS HAVE BEING SENSITIVE TO, UH, PAUL'S COMMENT.

UM, SO I WOULD ALSO POINT OUT IT'S KIND OF INTERESTING.

IF YOU LOOK AT ALL THE SOLID WASTE CONTRACTS, THEY, ON AVERAGE, THEY ARE ABOUT SIX YEAR CONTRACTS.

SO WE'RE ABOUT HALFWAY ON AVERAGE THROUGH THOSE.

UM, AND UH, YEARS AGO WE USED TO TAKE THESE UP INDIVIDUALLY AND THEN WE KIND OF THOUGHT THAT IT MADE SENSE TO DO THEM AS A GROUP.

UH, BUT IT IS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR US, IF ANYBODY HAS A CONCERN IN ANY ONE OF THESE AREAS THAT

[00:40:03]

SO ANYWAY, I OPEN TO A MOTION TO ADDITION OF THE ONE THAT JUST DAVE MENTIONED THAT WAS, UH, INADVERTENTLY LEFT OUT FOR THE AGENDA, BUT WAS INCLUDED IN THE BACKUP.

HM.

IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE? IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND.

OKAY.

UM, IS THERE ANYBODY WANTS TO VOTE ON ANY OF THESE SEPARATELY OR IS THERE ANY OBJECTIONS TO THESE ITEMS HEARING NONE? UH, THESE ITEMS ARE APPROVED AS PROPOSED ON

[15. RECOMMENDATION OF AWARD FOR RFP 041621 RECYCLABLES COLLECTION AND PROCESSING SERVICES FOR BEAUFORT COUNTY ($1,000,000)]

AND THE OTHER COMMENT THAT WAS MADE ABOUT THE RECYCLABLE.

SO, UH, PAVE OR JARED, YOU WANT TO WALK US THROUGH THIS PARTICULAR ONE BECAUSE I CAN, I CAN THINK THEY'RE RECYCLABLE COLLECTION AND PROCESSING SERVICES OR BEAVER COUNTY, OR SPECIFICALLY FOR OUR CONVENIENCE CENTERS.

EVERYTHING THAT'S DROPPED OFF THERE, WE PUT THE RFP OUT IN MARCH.

SO MARCH THE FIFTH OF THE BIG CLOSE ON APRIL 16TH, AND IT'S THE LICENSE TO A COMMITTEE RECEIVED SEVEN PROPOSALS TO REVIEW, UM, THE THERAPY OR THE SELECTION COMPANY WAS AND TRANSPORT, THE MATERIALS, THE PROCESSING PROCESS AND OTHER MATERIALS AND THE MARKETING AND SALES, ALL OF THAT WAS INCLUDED AS PART OF THE RFP SPLIT.

UM, IN REVIEWING THERE WAS, WE HAD FIVE MEMBERS, THREE STAFF MEMBERS, AND TWO RELAYS AND RECYCLING BOARD MEMBERS THAT MADE UP MANY, LOOKED AT THE DIFFERENT BIDS THAT WERE RECEIVED.

UH, WE WERE LOOKING FOR A, A CONTRACTOR IT'S ABOUT ALL OF THOSE SERVICES HAVE ONE SIMILAR TO THE CONTRACT THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE.

WE WERE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED WITH THE AMOUNT OF PROPOSALS THAT WERE PROVIDED.

UM, BUT AFTER LOOKING AT THE PRICING AND ABILITY, UM, AS REQUESTED OUR, AS MENTIONED EARLIER, WE MADE ONE INTERVIEW, UH, WITH THE HIGHEST PROPOSAL AND THOSE COMMITTEE MEMBERS THEN SELECTED WASTE MANAGEMENT.

UM, AFTER THAT, AFTER HEARING THE, THE INTERVIEW.

UM, SO THIS PROPOSAL IS FOR A TWO YEAR TIMEFRAME WITH THREE ADDITIONAL ONE-YEAR REVIEWS.

UM, IT'S A UNIT RATE CONTRACT, UM, SO IS DEFINED BY HOWEVER MANY SCHOOLS ARE HOW MUCH WASTE IS OUR RECYCLABLES FOR THE POSITIVE, AT OUR CONVENIENCE CENTERS, WITH THE ESTIMATED COST OF A MILLION DOLLARS, WHICH HAS BEEN BUDGETED IN OUR FISCAL YEAR TO LEGENDS.

SO STAFF RECOMMENDS THE AWARD AT RSP 0 4 1 6 2 1 OR RECYCLABLES COLLECTIONS PROCESSING RSP SERVICES, THE WASTE MANAGEMENT.

OKAY.

OPEN IT UP FOR COMMENTS.

MR. CHAIRMAN WOULD THE PUBLIC COMMENT FROM A NEW COMPANY THAT HAS COME HERE.

I'D LIKE TO HAVE THAT ADDRESSED ON WHY WE CAN'T HAVE THE GLASS PULLED OUT SEPARATELY.

OKAY.

IF YOU, IF YOU LOOK AT THE AIS AND I'VE, I'VE MISUNDERSTOOD WHAT THE GENTLEMAN WAS TALKING ABOUT, THE AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY, IT DOES REQUIRE THAT THE HAULER AND THE CONTRACT HAUL OF THE GLASS TO GLASS WORKS.

SO WE'RE JUST ASKING HIM, THAT'S A PART OF THE REQUIREMENT.

THAT'S WHAT THE BID WAS BASED ON.

SO THAT'S WHY IT HAPPENED.

I THINK THIS GENTLEMAN IS NOW WANTING TO HAUL THE GLASS FROM THE COMPANY, BUT AS I UNDERSTAND IT, HOME MAY NOT HAVE THE EQUIPMENT ON THE GLASS AND PAY THE COUNTY FOR THE GLASS, REVERSE YOUR WHOLE WASTE STREAM INCOME.

WELL THEN W I MEAN, IT CONFLICTED FROM WHAT I READ.

SO, SO WHAT'S THE RESOLUTION AND THERE IS NO RESOLUTION.

I MEAN, WE'VE GOT TO GET AWAY.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WHERE WE'VE HAD FOLKS COME IN AFTER PAT AND SAID, WELL, YOU KNOW, I CAN DO A MUCH BETTER JOB.

UH, IF YOU GUYS GIVE ME A CONTRACT AWARD AND I CAN GO OUT AND BUY THE EQUIPMENT, IF YOU GIVE THEM THE CONTRACT WHERE WE HAVE SOME, I DO IT WITH A FERRY SERVICE.

NOW WE HAVE IN THIS SITUATION NEAR WITH THE RECYCLABLE CONTRACT.

SO, YOU KNOW, THEY NEED TO BE READY AND THEY NEED TO SUBMIT IN ACCORDANCE WITH EVERYBODY ELSE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TIMEFRAMES AND THE DEADLINES AND THE GUIDELINES THAT ARE SUBMITTED.

AND THAT'S THE BEST WE CAN DO IS

[00:45:01]

SO, YEAH, SO THAT'S BASICALLY, YEAH, WE'RE, WE'RE GONNA, IF WE KEEP DOING THIS AND HOLDING UP RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FOLKS COMING IN AFTER THE FACT, THEN WE'RE GOING TO RUN OUT.

WE'RE GOING TO RUN OURSELVES A FOUL, A LOT OF PURCHASING AND PROCUREMENT PROCEDURES IN, UH, OPEN OURSELVES UP TO PROTESTS.

ONE MORE QUESTION, UM, LIST OF RECYCLABLES THAT ARE COLLECTED.

COULD YOU GO THROUGH THOSE CHAIR? JARED, CAN YOU GO THROUGH THE LIST OF RECYCLABLES THAT ARE COLLECTED? UM, AND, UH, THERE'S QUITE A FEW OF THOSE MAKE YOU NEED TO GET THE FACULTIES.

YEAH.

YES.

WE, WE COLLECT CARDBOARD.

WE COLLECT MIXED PAPER, WE COLLECT GLASS, WE COLLECT METAL.

THANK YOU, PLASTICS.

I FORGOT PLASTICS, ONES AND TWOS ONLY.

THANKS.

I'VE GOT A QUESTION IF I MIGHT, BUT THE FIRST GENTLEMEN, JIM HAD MENTIONED THAT, UM, THERE WAS ONLY ONE CONTRACTOR WHO WAS BROUGHT IN FOR AN INTERVIEW AND HE DID EXPLAIN THE PROCESS.

STAFF WAS ALLOWED TO DO THAT.

F1 COMPANY STANDS OUT ABOVE THE REST, UM, LIGHTLY AS FAR AS PRICE AND WHAT THEY'RE BRINGING TO THE TABLE.

AND I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO MAKE THE STATEMENT, YOU KNOW, IT'S OKAY FOR, UM, COMPANIES LIKE THIS GENTLEMAN THAT MADE THE PUBLIC COMMENT TO COMPLAIN.
