[Drafting Note: to be completed by WCAs and WDA(s) on a project specific basis.]
This Schedule should reflect the fundamental parameters within the Project Agreement. It is intended to provide the WCAs with the information about the proposed Project Agreement, so that the WCAs can comment on it and take it into account in designing their collection regimes.5
As a minimum all the Key Waste Delivery Parameters should be reconfirmed at the following stages:
• Information to be included in ISOS documentation;
• Information to be included in ISDS documentation;
• Information to be included in CFT documentation; and
• Information to be included in Financial Close documentation.
The information should be entirely consistent with the long term aspirations of the Authorities in this agreement, and should be the fundamental basis of all waste modelling undertaken used to create design point/tolerances of any operational plant proposed under the Project Agreement.
It is recommended that the key waste delivery parameters are formally reviewed every two years following Financial Close on the anniversary of the Financial Close date.
Key Waste Delivery Parameters (profiled with time if appropriate)
• Waste growth assumptions and definition of key drivers that underpin these;
• Waste minimisation plans;
• Waste content and composition;
• Target waste volume profile and allowable tolerances ;
• Waste collection streams and regimes;
o Current;
o Planned for delivery prior to financial close;
o Used as the basis for modelling the waste flows in the Project Agreement;
• Acceptance Protocols for special/abnormal waste deliveries and for the delivery of waste covered by the sites licence;
• Waste delivery profiles (number of days per week, collection frequency (weekly fortnightly etc.), seasonal alterations etc)
o Access times;
o Delivery days per week;
o Access routes;
o WCA collection vehicle turnaround times;
o Services before and after public holidays etc.;
• Contingency Measure and Recovery Measures associated with intermittent changes in assumptions or disruptions to service levels (e.g. reactive or planned maintenance, industrial action etc.);
• The future profile of commercial waste and industrial waste collected assuming that this will not increase by more than 10% from 2007 levels;
• Any foreseeable agreed or funded alterations to the service that may affect the key variables;
• Agreeing key tolerances for the project that effectively create project boundaries (geographically, technically, efficiency, composition, etc.) which if exceeded would require either variation to the Project Agreement or new facilities to accommodate; and
• Facilities other than those to be provided under the Project Agreement to be provided by the parties that support the obligations made in this Agreement e.g. Bring Sites, Household Waste Recycling Centres, Transfer Stations etc..

5 The Parties will need to agree how to reasonably apportion benefits/ liabilities arising from the Project Agreement any how to deal with any increased costs that may arise. A distinction should be made between those losses that are caused by a breach of the WCA/ WDA obligations compared to losses which are caused by external factors.
