2. The City tries to have three employees per truck, thus twelve (12) employees per day. 3. Each daily route takes approximately 7 hours to complete, excluding time taken to and from the landfill. 4. From the first table, this is the estimated amount of time it will take for each truck to spend travelling to and from the listed landfill, and this is multiplied by two as each truck makes two trips a day to the landfill to unload trash. 5. We typically spend about 15 minutes at the landfill, and this is multiplied by two given we typically make two trips to the landfill per truck a day. 6. This is the estimated total amount of time spent per truck and per employee per day. As can be seen here, we already show a dramatic increase in hours worked for each employee the fiurther out we have to go to haul trash to a landfill. This alone will cause us significant operational issues. 7. This is taking #6 and spreading it out over the entire week. We run the route four (4) days a week, but on Wednesday we spend eight (8) hours maintaining the trucks and performing other needed operational tasks. 8. This is the total hours for all twelve (12) employees. 9. This is the total estimated Over Time hours (those hours beyond 40). As can be seen, the fiirther out we have to travel, the greater the number of OT hours. 10. This is the total estimated OT hours for all twelve (12) employees. 11. This is the starting wage of the lowest paid Sanitation Worker. We obviously have some higher paid sanitation workers. 12. This is applying the wage in #11 against the number of non -OT hours (total hours minus OT hours) plus OT pay (hourly pay multiplied by 1.5) using the estimated number of OT hours from #10. 13. Using Blossom as our baseline, this shows the added cost just in estimated pay to travel to any other landfill other than our current operation to Blossom (note, this excludes benefits). 14. Using the FEMA rates for a 25 CY Garbage Truck, we are able to develop an approximate calculation for costs per hour associated with maintenance, depreciation, overhead, field repairs, fuel, lubricants, tires, OSHA equipment, and other incidental costs to operate. This is in accordance with the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act for estimating the cost to operate equipment. 15. This is the estimated cost to operate our equipment to and from the landfill. Obviously, it is more expensive the further out we have to travel. 16. As with #13, this uses Blossom as our baseline to determine the additional cost to travel to another landfill. 17. This combines #13 and #16 to see the total additional cost in pay and equipment. 18. This takes the cost in #17, which is a weekly cost, and applies it across 52 weeks, thus one year.
