EXECUTWE SUMMARY: Solid waste collection is a highly visible public service and represents a major expense for local governments. Today's solid waste collection environment is complex as evidenced by seasonal and day of the week variations, changing demographics and community growth patterns, separate pickups for items that can be recycled, different truck/crew options and the need to analyze different collection policies (e.g., backyard versus curb side, one day versus two days per week collections). GTE Intech has developed a Solid Waste Planning Package to assist public works agencies develop more efficient and better balanced collection routes (a collection route is defined as an area that represents a "fair days" work for a crew and truck). The package allows for the necessary "what -if" analyses to anticipate changes in demand (such as anticipated growth in Miami) and changes in collection practices, equipment and policies. The Solid Waste Planning Package uses the power of a geographic information system (GIS), Environmental Systems Research Institute's (ESRI) ARC/INFO, to allow interactive graphic design and analysis of collection routes. This is the same GIS that is being acquired by the City. Using a digital street centerline map with actual and anticipated refuse amounts identified with each block face, a user car draw -a -solid waste -distriu'Z on a computer screen and the system will calculate information important to determining if it is a good collection route: The amount of refuse that would be collected in the route. The number of stops in the route. The time it would take to collect .and dispose of the refuse for the different types of trucks, crews and collection policies under consideration. The time would include travel time along the route, time to load, and travel tin-tv. to and fron-i landfill and/or transfer sites. The equivalent number of trucks of each typ_- that would b-, needcd for the collection route. A figure greater than 1.0 would man the collection route needs to be reduced in size and a number less than 1.0 means it can be increased. This interactive graphic feedback allows the user to design new collection routes quickly and efficiently with an eye to minimizing the number of trucks jurisdiction wide. Thus the user can concentrate on the complexities of good collection route design and route boundaries and let the computer calculate the impacts. This interactive graphic design process would not be possible without the use of the GIS. 89--36a /3 • 9 The Solid Waste Planning Package has been developed as a working prototype and has been demonstrated in Miami. In order to fine-tune the product, GTE Intech is conducting demonstration projects in a number of local governments across the country. We are proposing that the City of Miami become a demonstration site for the Solid Waste Planning Package. From the point of view of the City, the demonstration approach provides the benefits of a state-of-the-art system tailored to the City's needs at a very low cost and risk. As a demonstration site, the City of Miami will receive the Solid Waste Planning Package with one year's maintenance and the next major release of the product at no cost. In addition, the GTE Intech staff effort on the project, estimated at over 20 days, will be provided at no cost to the City. At the end of the project, the City will have a fully operational system to analyze and plan for solid waste operations. The City's obligation under the demonstration project will be to provide the necessary digital maps (e.g., street centerline), a file of residential account addresses and solid waste collection data, computer hardware, and GIS software (the City is planning to purchase ESRI's ARC/INFO). As an interim measure until the City acquires its GIS capability, GTE Intech will run the Solid Waste Planning Package on its computer and make the results available to the City. In addition, GTE Intech will provide training on the system using its computers that will be brought to the City for that purpose. As an additional obligation under the demonstration project, the City shall cover the out-of-pocket travel and living expenses for GTE Intech staff while on -site in Aliami. The City wild not be billed for any out -of pocket travel expenses that exceed $9,500. The project is scheduled for completion by the end of the third quarter of 1989. IL PROJECT OVERVIEW GTE Intech proposes to develop and install a Solid Waste Planning Software Package in the City of Miami. A prototype of the package has been demonstrated to the City. The planning package will allow the City to evaluate its current solid waste collection districts to ensure they are well balanced and represent a "fair days" work for a crew and truck. The package will allow the City to plan for changes in the demand for service because of changing growth patterns or new mandated programs such as recycling. In addition, the package can be used to analyze the cost and service impacts of different trucks, crew sizes and collection policies. The package uses the capabilities of a powerful geographic information system (GIS), ARC/INFO, developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI). This software is the world's leading GIS and operates on a number of hardware platforms and is the same system the City is planning to acquire. This project is being proposed as a demonstration project by GTE Intech. As a demonstration site, the City will receive the Solid Waste Planning Package along witlr-one-year's free maintenance and the next major release of the package at no cost. In addition, GTE Intech staff effort on the project, estimated at over 20 days, will be provided at no cost to the City. The demonstration approach has significant advantages for GTE Intech. It allows GTE Interh to fine-tune its products in actual municipal environments to better meet the needs of local governments. From the point of view of the City, the demonstration approach provides the benefits of a state- of-the-art system tailored to the Citys needs at a very low cost and risk. As part of this .demonstration project, GTE Intech shall provide on -site training to City stab in the use and operation of the package along with complete system documentation. 3 8.9-36 3 I 111.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission FROM :— "esar H. Odi o City Manager CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM DATE : APR o 4 1989 FILE SUBJECT : Resolution Accepting Donation of Software and Services from GTE Intech REFERENCES Gi ty Commission Meeting of April 13, 1989 ENCLOSURES: RECOMMENDATION It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution accepting the donation of computer software and services from GTE Intech, Inc., for the purpose of analyzing the deployment of refuse collection/routing systems, anu" agreeing to pay Intech's direct travel _ expenses to and from Miami up to a maximum of $9500, with funds from the Geographic Information System (GIS), Capital Improvement Project No. 314232. BACKGROUND As a part of the larger Geographic Information System project, participating departments have been researching ways to improve their quality of service by using the available geographically -related information with the emerging technology known as GIS. For some departments, application systems already developed in other cities can be adapted to Miami's needs with relatively little effort. For refuse collection, GTE Intech is developing a Solid Waste Planning ' Package to e V a I tjata{ the i111pl i cati ails of al ternati ve collection/routing district boundaries or new services such as collection of recycl abl es . T€re City provide Intech with i nforrriati on such as average refuse yield per household and thee, location of existing district boundaries. Intech will use the inforr;at;ion to produce a GIS--based miodel of ;ire City's refuse: collection systert, using i;fre CIS softt.rar~e package reconLrended L;y the GIS Selection and Negotiation Cor,,rciittee. The firm will gain the experience of working with a major City' s trash collection agency to refine its product, and will be reimbursed only for direct travel expenses between Miami and its home office in Dallas. The City will gain a year's free use and update of the software. After the first year, the City will be able to continue to use the existing package, or negotiate with the firm for continued maintenance and additional upgrades. Since finished software of this type could easily cost several times the expenditure proposed, the City has the opportunity to save money and thereby benefit.
