2. California Integrated Waste Management Board 2 Plastic Carryout Bag Co-Mingled Rate Summary of Activities Board Approved Noticing Permanent Regulations (September 2007) Co-Mingled Rate Study Scope of Work Store Operations Research (including Staff Test Bale Sort) Prepared Draft Scope of Work Agencies Contacted Dept of Conservation California Conservation Corps California State University UCLA Met with Industry Stakeholders (October 2007) Received Board Direction (November 2007)

3. California Integrated Waste Management Board 3 Plastic Carryout Bag Co-Mingled Rate Overview Board Must Conduct a Co-Mingled Recycling Rate Study per Emergency Regulations For Board Consideration: Scope of Work for Study Contractor Proposals Augmentation of the $75,000 allocated contract amount

4. California Integrated Waste Management Board 4 Plastic Carryout Bag Co-Mingled Rate Current Emergency Regulations Store Reports Due by April 1 Weight of Plastic Carryout Bags Purchased Weight of Plastic Carryout Bags Recycled OR Weight of All Bales of Film Plastic Recycled Board Applies Co-Mingled Rate to Estimate Plastic Carryout Bag Weight and Recycling Rate Co-Mingled Rate = % of Bags in Film Plastic Bales Allows Calculation of Recycling Rate = Plastic Carryout Bags Recycled Plastic Carryout Bags Purchased

5. California Integrated Waste Management Board 5 Plastic Carryout Bag Co-Mingled Rate Scope of Work for Study Conduct Sample Sorts of Plastic Material Bales from Regulated Stores Separate Regulated Plastic Carryout Bags from Non-regulated Plastic Shopping Bags in Sample Sorts Calculate Statewide and Regional (if possible) Co-Mingled Recycling Rates

6. California Integrated Waste Management Board 6 Plastic Carryout Bag Co-Mingled Rate Issues Accuracy and Precision of the Study Will Affect CIWMB Ability to Evaluate the Program’s Effectiveness Increased Sampling Could Improve the Accuracy of the Study and Result in More Statistically Representative Data Additional Funds are Needed to Increase Number of Samples

7. California Integrated Waste Management Board 7 Plastic Carryout Bag Co-Mingled Rate Potential Contractors CSU, Sacramento UCLA

8. California Integrated Waste Management Board 8 Plastic Carryout Bag Co-Mingled Rate FactorsCSUSUCLA Execute Contract 1 Month1 – 2 Months Contracting Issues No Issues No Existing Contract Some Issues to be Resolved Has Contract Behind Schedule Co-Mingled Rate Experience Yes Good DOC Recommendation on Recent Study Yes Good DOC Recommendation for Past Studies

9. California Integrated Waste Management Board 9 Plastic Carryout Bag Co-Mingled Rate FactorsCSUSUCLA Methodology Confidence Level Precision (Error +/-) Samples 90 % 5% 300 Samples 90 % 10% 90 Samples Sampling Costs Total Cost Cost Per Sample $272,689 $909 $180,000 $2,000

10. California Integrated Waste Management Board 10 Plastic Carryout Bag Co-Mingled Rate FactorsCSUSUCLA Confidence in Methodology More Likely to Achieve 90% Confidence Level Accounted for Greater Variability of Bags By Proposing to Collect More Samples Less Likely to Achieve 90% Confidence Level Assumed Less Variability in Bags in Samples Cost Could Increase If More Samples Needed

11. California Integrated Waste Management Board 11 Plastic Carryout Bag Co-Mingled Rate Board Options Option 1: Approve Scope of Work, Contractor and an Augmentation to Allocated Contract Amount Option 2: Approve Scope of Work with Specific Changes, Contractor and an Augmentation to Allocated Contract Amount Option 3: Do not Approve Scope of Work, Contractor or an Augmentation to Allocated Contract Amount Option 4: Other Board Direction

12. California Integrated Waste Management Board 12 Plastic Carryout Bag Co-Mingled Rate Staff Recommendation Option 1: Approve: Scope of Work CSU Sacramento as Contractor, and An Augmentation not to Exceed $197,689 to Allocated Contract Amount of $75,000 (for a Total Amount not to Exceed $272,689)
