The Contractor shall also quantify the volume of debris collected during each quarterly sweeping event. 4. In addition to the requirements listed above, reporting shall support documentation of pollutant load reduction consistent with FDEP guidance. Debris quantities shall be tracked in a manner that allows the County to estimate pollutant removal (e.g., tons or cubic yards collected per route). 5. The debris quantity information shall be included with the invoice submitted to the County.

H. Inspection and Performance Verification 1. The County reserves the right to review GPS data and conduct inspections to verify that all designated roadway sections have been properly swept. 2.
