4 <br />cost could be as low as $823,500 per year. Staff has also had some estimates that indicate the <br />cost could be as low as $3.00 per household per month, which would bring the contract cost <br />down to around $658,800 annually. <br />It is anticipated that roll-carts will be utilized for the Urban Curbside Program (contracted <br />service) and that the Rural Curbside Program (County staff provided service) will continue to <br />utilize 18-gallon bins, at least for the near term. It is currently understood from resident <br />comments that portions of the Rural Program may not be suitable for roll-carts and staff will, <br />over the next year or two, assess areas where roll-carts can be reasonably used with the <br />expectation that eventually roll-carts can be provided for certain select rural areas. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The adopted Fiscal 2011/12 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) indicates an <br />estimated expense of $948,500 to purchase 18,970 roll-carts. 1# is anticipated that the carts <br />could be debt financed over a period of about five years with debt senrice paid from the increase <br />in collection efficiency as reflected in a lower vendor cost per household. Alternatively the carts <br />could be acquired through a piggyback contract purchase or by incorporating provision of the <br />carts into the collection vendor scope of services. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board receive the single stream <br />recycling implementation update and provide staff with guidance relative to implementation or <br />operation of the transition to single stream recycling. <br />
