We concluded that Vickers would put together an outline of <br /> what should be included . Working with Gayle and Al we ' ve come up with this <br /> report . This is a rough draft . [Sassaman passes out report] . The purpose of this is to <br /> go to all elected officials and to have this ready for the February 8 work session with <br /> the Commissioners . <br /> Kabrick asks when should comments be given to you [Sassaman] ? <br /> Sassaman states that I want to finalize this by February 3 in time for our next meeting <br /> and deliver on February 4 . Once I have the material from Blair, I will send this out via <br /> email for further comments . <br /> 5 . Programs/Services Update <br /> Solid Waste Management Department 's Nezv Operations Center Wilson states that the <br /> recommendation for the architect is waiting on BOCC approval . The architect that <br /> was recommended is Dixon and Wiensten whom have proposed $126, 000 for design <br /> at about 5500 heated square feet of space and about 1 , 000 square feet of unheated <br /> storage area . The construction cost is a rough estimate of $ 900, 000 , We are going to <br /> recommend using recycled building materials and to use sustainable green building <br /> practices , and energy efficient design . Those things cost more up front but over time <br /> we will see the benefit . <br /> Unsolicited Landfill Gas Proposal and Consultant Review Wilson states that last June the <br /> department received a proposal from a professor from NC State who thought he had <br /> an economically viable project for our facility . He wants to pay $ 1 , 000 for the rights <br /> for the gas for 10 years with estimated revenue of $4, 000 / year . I had an engineering <br /> firm look at the proposal for general feedback . Their response was that it looked like <br /> a feasible project and recommended doing a request for proposals to see what' s out <br /> there . <br /> Sassaman asks if there are other, small scale ways to capture gas . <br /> Wilson says that ' s what this proposal is with cherry-picking small - scale turbines at <br /> various productive sites on the landfill . <br /> 7 <br />
