High Rock Road Waste & Recycling Center <br /> Project Category: Solid Waste Capital Project Status: Active Project Type <br /> Functional Service Community Services Proposed Bid 1/15/19 New <br /> Area: Award Date: <br /> Department: Solid Waste Starting Date: 3/1/19 Expansion <br /> Project Number: Fund 55 Completion Date: 7/1/19 Renovation X <br /> Replacement <br /> Project Description/Justification: Improvements to the High Rock Road Waste and Recycling Center include the <br /> modernization of the High Rock Road Center into a Neighborhood Center ($676,428). <br /> The site is projected to open July 2019. <br /> As a Neighborhood Center, services will now include collection of: bulky materials, metal, <br /> yard waste, tires, clean wood, white goods, plastic film, textiles, cooking oil and food <br /> waste. Smaller bulky materials which will fit into the household waste compactor will also <br /> be accepted. The salvage shed, waste oil, oil filters, wet & dry cell batteries and <br /> electronics will also remain. lie-19 <br /> The High Rock Road Center is located on leased property, and planned site improvements will continue to be coordinated <br /> with the property owner. The County is currently involved in ongoing negotiations for the lease agreement for High Rock <br /> Waste Recycling Center. Negotiations will continue until a desired agreement is reached. <br /> Operating costs for the High Rock Center are estimated to increase to $50,765 for FY18-19. The increase is due to ongoing <br /> electricity costs, and one-time costs associated with the relocation and installation of security cameras and establishment of <br /> a temporary site during construction. No new staff is required. <br /> Estimated operational savings of $15,000 is anticipated from a more efficient hauling of waste and recyclables from <br /> compactors rather than hauling loose materials. Additionally, tip fees should be reduced due to the fully enclosed waste <br /> compactors alleviating water logged, heavier materials caused by the current open-topped dumpsters. <br /> The Neighborhood/District Waste& Recycling Center concept was endorsed by the BOCC in FY 2011-12 providing essential <br /> services to all county residential sectors, increasing services and hours at District Centers and helps partially fund the center <br /> improvements through increased efficiencies and savings from reduced/reallocated services and hours at the Neighborhood <br /> Centers. Staff had proposed that High Rock Road Waste & Recycling Center be the first Neighborhood Center renovated. <br /> Stationary compactors are considered Recurring Capital and are reflected as such below. <br /> FINANCIAL SUMMARY <br /> Current Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Five Year 6 <br /> Prior Years Fiscal Year Fiscal Year Fiscal Year Fiscal Year Fiscal Year Fiscal Year Year to <br /> Project Budget Funding 2018-19 2019-20 2020-21 2021-22 2022-23 2023-24 Total Year10 <br /> Expenses <br /> Land/Building <br /> Professional Services 104,972 <br /> Construction/Repairs/Renovations 571,456 <br /> Equipment'Furnishings <br /> Total Project Budget: 676,428 <br /> Funding Sources <br /> Solid Waste Funds 104,972 <br /> Debt Financing 571,456 <br /> Grant Funds <br /> Total 676,428 <br /> Impact on Solid Waste Fund Operating Budget <br /> Personnel Services <br /> Operations 50,765 (8,100) (7,785) (7,477) (7,175) (6,873) (37,410) (31,562) <br /> Recurring Capital 145,000 13,300 13,300 13,300 13,300 13,300 66,500 66,500 <br /> New/Addl Revenue - <br /> Total Operating Costs 195,765 <br /> 194 <br />
