In the past, this item has been considered if an ordinance requiring the separation of recyclable construction and demolition waste is applied to all construction throughout Orange County. The position would be based in the Solid Waste Management Department and would be at the equivalent grade of a Sanitation Supervisor for the Town of Chapel Hill. The position would require a vehicle and a computer to track data for the program.

Engineering and Supervision Work for Materials Recovery Facility: 530.000 According to the timetable adopted by the Owners Group for development of the Materials Recovery Facility, a contract will have been negotiated by the fall of 1999. Our current scope of work with RRSI, the MRF consultant ends at this point. Given the deliberate nature of our decision process, we anticipate that the contract may not be finalized until the spring of 2000. The current consultant could act as the Owner's Engineer in the next step, which is to finalize construction contractual details. The fee for this is estimated by the consultant at $30,000. We expect this work could commence during FY 1999-2000, if the local governments' decision is to build a matet•ials recovery facility (MRF) in Orange County.
