6 . TERMINATION
A. The COUNTY reserves the right to, at its discretion,
terminate this agreement for the CONSULTANTS' breach of any of
the agreement's terms and covenants.

terminate for cause, the COUNTY shall notify the CONSULTANTS in
writing, who shall, upon receipt of the notice, immediately cease

amount for all tasks satisfactorily completed less any amount
necessary to compensate the COUNTY for any damage occasioned by

r-"
for the task that is proportional to the percent of the task
satisfactorily completed on the date of the CONSULTANTS' receipt
.
of the notice of termination less any amount necessary to compen-
sate the COUNTY any damage occasioned by the CONSULTANTS' breach.
5
The decision of the COUNTY's Designated Representative as to the
tasks satisfactorily completed, the percent of satisfactorily
partially completed tasks, and the amount of damage(s) the COUNTY
suffered, will be final. If the amounts deducted from the
CONSULTANTS' final payment are insufficient to compensate the
COUNTY for damages, the CONSULTANTS shall nonetheless remain
liable to the COUNTY for the full extent of the COUNTY's damage.

CONSULTANTS from pursuing any additional remedy the COUNTY or
CONSULTANT may have at law or ,equity for either's breach. Upon
receipt of the notice of termination under this section, the
CONSULTANTS shall also turn over to the COUNTY all reports,
comp lete or not, notes, and any other data in whatever format,

CONSULTANTS shall deliver all materials supplied by the COUNTY.
Any work performed by the CONSULTANTS after receipt of the notice
of termination shall be at the CONSULTANTS' sole risk.
Notwithstanding the same should the Designated Representative
deny payment, CONSULTANT may challenge that opinion as to the
reasonableness of its denial before a court of proper
jurisdiction as provided in Sec. 9.
B. This agreement may be terminated by the CONSULTANTS
upon providing seven days' written notice to the COUNTY in the
event of the COUNTY's substantial failure to perform as required
by this agreement, provided the COUNTY's failure is not due to
the fault of the CONSULTANTS.' Notwithstanding any election on
6
the part of the CONSULTANTS to so terminate, CONSULTANTS reserve
all rights at law and equity to seek any and all remedies for the
COUNTY'S breach of any term or provision of this agreement.
7. EXCUSABLE DELAYS

may include, but not be limited to: acts of God; natural or
public health emergencies; labor disputes; denial by the fran-
chisees of access to relevant financial data; and severe weather
conditions. If the failure to perform is caused by the failure
of the COUNTY approved subcontractor(s) of the CONSULTANTS to
perform, and if the failure arises out of events beyond the
control of both the CONSULTANTS and their subcontractor(s) and
not reasonably foreseeable by either of them, then the CONSUL-
TANTS shall not be deemed to be in default. Upon the CONSUL-
TANTS' request, the COUNTY shall consider the facts and the
extent of any failure to perform the work. If the CONSULTANTS'
failure to perform the work was not caused by either the CONSUL-
TANTS' fault or negligence, or the fault or negligence of any

be adjusted by the COUNTY accordingly.

PROCEDURES
Morris Buchanan and Associates will meet the stated objections in your
Request For Proposal by performing an agreed upon procedures engagement subject
to standards issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. We will
perform the agreed upon procedures enumerated below for the year ended December.

to: monthly franchisee reports of commercial ser\;ce fees and statistics and
remittances of disposal fees, franchisee compliance with contractual provisions of the
Solid Waste Collection Agreement between the franchisee and the Board of County
Commissioners of Monroe County, Florida (Solid Waste Collection Agreement), and
franchisee operating expenses.
The following procedures will be applied to the Summary of Monthly Billing
Statements Commercial Accounts submitted by franchisees for the year ended
December 3 1, 1992, to assist you in evaluating the accuracy and appropriateness of
the monthly reports:
1) Obtain from the Environmental Management Di...ision of Monroe County,

(MBSCA's) submitted by the franchisees for the year ended December 31,
1992.
2) Test the mathematical accuracy of the MBSCA's.
3) From the MBSCA's, prepare a Summary ofMBSCA's for the year.
4) On a test basis, agree amounts (collection fees, disposal fees, cubic yards,
etc.) reported on MBSCA's to franchisee's routing records, billing records,
customer contracts, and any other appropriate documentation.
S) Obtain a listing of all business licenses issued in the franchisee's service
area from the appropriate county office.
6) Compare, in total, the number of business licenses issued in the service area
to the number of commercial accounts serviced by the franchisee.
7) Select a sample from the business license list obtained in procedure five
and confirm directly with the business license holder the amount, if any, of
fees (both collection, disposal, and special) incurred to franchisee for solid
waste collection service for the year ended December 31, 1992. (Include
on the confirmation questions regarding the date and nature of complaints
of service, if any, communicated to the franchisee). All variances will be
reconciled and any exceptions observed will be reported.
S
The procedures listed below "ill be applied for the year ended December 31,
1992, with respect to the following Contractual Provisions of the Solid \Vaste
Collection Agreement:
A Franchisee charged rates to customers for commercial and residential
ser\;ces in accordance with Franchisor approved rates (Section 4(B)3).
1) Obtain from Franchisor a schedule of approved rates.
2) For the sample selected in procedure four under Summary of
MBSCA's, agree rates per contract to approved rate schedule.
3) Select a sample of special residential billing and agree rates per special
billing to approved rate schedule.
B. Franchisee provided accurate monthly billing statements to cornrnercial
customers including full disclosure of services provided (Section 4(B)3).

on a timely basis (Section 18).
1) Obtain copies of complaint reports, if any, submitted to the
Environmental Management Division by the franchisees to the log.
Summarize any discrepancies.
E. Franchisee maintained proper insurance amounts though out the period
(Sections 11 and 12).
1) Review insurance policies in effect during the year ended December 31,
1992 noting that coverages met the contractual requirements.
2) Confirm directly with the franchisee's insurance company the
information reviewed in procedure one.
6
The procedures enumerated below will be applied to the Operating Expenses
of each franchisee for the year ended December 31, 1992, to assist you in detennining
the franchisees' average cost per dwelling unit (residential cost) and average cost per
cubic yard (commercial cost) of providing collection ser'wice.
1) Obtain and read a copy of the franchisee's audited financial statement for
year ended December 3 1, 1992.
2) Obtain and read detailed records (i.e. general ledger, cash disbursement
journal, pajTolI journal) supporting the operating expenses reflected in the
1992 audited financial statements.
3) Obtain from franchisee a list of all related parties, i.e. the franchi~, its
affiliates, principal owners, management, and members of their immediate
families. In addition, based on other procedures performed, identify any
other related parties omitted from list by franchisee's management.
4) Identify and examine appropriate supporting documentation of transactions
with related parties based upon inquiry of franchisee management and other
procedures perfonned. Summarize the details of these transactions.
5) For these identified related party transactions, identify similar transactions
which were consummated at anns-Iength and compare the details of these
transactions to the related party transactions. For example, a franchisee
leases a facility from one of its OVYllers. We would identify, with assistance
from real estate specialists in the area, similar arms-length lease
arrangements in the area and compare the details of those lease
arrangements to the related party lease arrangement.
6) Obtain a list of franchisee personnel with job title, description, and annual
salary. Compare this list with solid waste industry salary and wage
surveys.
7) Obtain or prepare a schedule of both operating and administrative
equipment reflecting acquisition date, depreciation method/life, original
cost, 1992 depreciation, and accumulated depreciation at December 31,
1992.
8) Obtain industry operating expense and profitability statistics for solid waste
collection companies operating in comparable demographics and compare
to the" franchisee's operating expense and profitability statistics.
9) Based on the reading of audited financial statements and detailed records
performed in procedures one and two, identify and summarize
"discretionary" general and administrative expenses, based on a definition
of "discretionary" as an expense in which management decision is the
primary controlling factor over the nature, amount and timing of the
expense.
7
10) Prepare a schedule of operating expenses. as reported in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. adjusted for expenses which are
excessive or are not "usual and customary." as identified in performing
procedures one through nine. to develop an adjusted total costs of
providing residential and commercial solid waste collection service.
11) Inquire of franchisee and summarize its methodology. if any, for allocating'
operating expenses to commercial and residential categories. Review such
methodologies for reasonableness. Based on these procedures, develop a
standard operating expense allocation methodology which will be applied
consistently to all franchisees.
12) Apply standard operating expense allocation methodology developed in
procedure eleven to adjust operating expenses determined in procedure ten
to compute the total adjusted costs for providing commercial and
residential solid waste collection service.
13) Obtain copy of current routing schedules for both commercial and
residential service. Select a sample of franchisee's routes and perform a
physical observation of routes to insure that actual route and service
locations conform to the routing schedule.
14) Obtain copies of residential routing schedules for each month of the year
ended December 31. 1992. Summarize the number of dwelling units
serviced from these records. Compare this total to the total residential
dwelling units for which the Franchisor is compensating the franchisee.
15) Apply the number of dwelling units summarized from the routing schedules
to the total adjusted residential costs determined in procedure twelve to
compute the average adjusted cost per residential dwelling unit.
16) Apply the number of cubic yards from the Summary of Monthly Billing
Statements Commercial Accounts to the total adjusted commercial costs
determined in procedure twelve to compute the average adjusted cost per
cubic yard.
17) Procedures one through sixteen would be applied consistently to all seven
franchisees. At the conclusion of the engagement, summarize the seven
individual reports into one consolidated report for comparative purposes.
Since the above procedures were prepared without specific knowledge of the
franchisees' operating, accounting and administrative records, certain of the above
procedures may require modification and/or additional procedures may be justified.
We will discuss such modifications with you and obtain your approval prior to
adjusting any of the outlined procedures.

2.0 OVF:IN1EW ~ PURPOSE" OF SOLICIT).TICN
2.1 Background Information
Solid waste residential and comcercial collection
services for Monroe County are provided by seven (7)
franchise operators. The original Solid Waste
Collection ~gree.'I\ents ("Collection ~greement")
between the Board of County commissioners of Monroe
County ("Franchisor") and the seven (7) garbage '
collection companies ("Franchisees") were executed on
December 15, 1987, and granted each franchisee an
exclusive territory within Monroe County to provide
residential and commercial solid waste collection
services.
The Collection ~greements were amended to the present
form, effective November 1, 1989, extending the terms
Qf the agreements from November 1, 1989 through
September 30, 1994 (see Exhibit I for sa~ple
collection agreement).
Under the amended Collection Agreeoent, the Franchisor
bills residential customers for bot~ collection and
disposal service in conjunction with its a~~ual
property tax assessments. Tte Fra~chisor ra~its
monthly to the Franchisees a fee based upon the number
of residential dwelling units serviced. This fee is
adjusted annually for changes in the Cons~~er Price
Index (CPI), as defined in the Collection Agreement,
and the annual percentage change in the n~~er of
dwelling units receiving residential collection
service.
The a~ended Collection Agrea~ent establishes billing
responsibilities for commercial customers with the
individual Franchisees based upon rates established by
the Collection Agreement. Commercial billings, which
are reported to the Franchisor on the Monthly Billing
Statement - Commercial Accounts (Exhibit II), include
both collection and disposal service fees. Collection
fees are retained by the Franchisee as compensation-for
their services; disposal fees are remitted to the
Franchisor based upon a charge per cubic yard as
specified in the Collection Agreement.
As with residential rates, annual commercial rate
adjustments are based upon changes in the CPI.
Moreover, Franchisees may petition the Franchisor for
an additional rate adjustment based upon significant
changes in their operating costs. The Collection
. Agreement requires that each Franchisee's request
"contain substantial proof and justification to support
the need for the rate adjustment" (page 24). This
"substantial proof and justification" requires detailed
_;'operating costs estimates for the upcoming year.
