<br />i, <br />.;) <br />:1 <br /> <br />B. WORK PROGRAM (20 Points) <br /> <br />In the space below, provide a work program for the proposed project, based on <br />specific questions listed in the scoring criteria. Please present your work program in <br />outline form, placing the requested information under each separate task or step <br />identified. Please attach additional pages if needed. <br /> <br />Our Sanitation Department currently goes to the curbsides of residences and processes <br />brush and limbs of trees by using our chipping machines to convert the same to wood chips. We <br />then take the wood chips to our ten (10) acre site in southwest Paris, and they are deposited to <br />make compost. None of the wood chips go into our landfill, which saves the City of Paris over <br />$200,000.00 in landfill costs annually. <br /> <br />Our Public Works Department currently takes a front-end loader to the compost site four <br />(4) times a year to turn the decaying wood chips. It takes at least two (2) years to get mature <br />compost under our present system. <br /> <br />We propose purchasing a pull-behind compost turner to be pulled by our tractor at the <br />compost site twice a month. Our Public Works employees will spend eight (8) hours per month <br />operating this machine. We estimate that the wood chips would decay and be mature compost in <br />six (6) to eight (8) months using this compost turner. We would then have more mature compost <br />available to the citizens of Paris and to our Parks Department. <br /> <br />5 <br /> <br />P <br />.1 <br />
