Construction & Demolition Landfill Expansion - Phase 2 <br />Project Category:Solid Waste Capital Project Status:New Project Type <br />Functional Service <br />Area:Community Services <br />Proposed Bid <br />Award Date:10/2021 New <br />Department:Solid Waste Starting Date:11/2021 Expansion X <br />Project Number:Fund 55 Completion Date:11/2022 Renovation <br />Replacement X <br />Project Description/Justification: <br />Phase 1 of the C&D landfill initially had an estimated capacity of <br />282,000 cubic yards when it opened in 2005. As of March 5, <br />2018, approximately 76,000 cubic yards of capacity remained in <br />the Phase 1 section. Tonnage of waste received at the landfill has <br />steadily climbed since 2011 from 5,860 tons disposed to 9,516 <br />tons disposed in 2018. During that same time period, <br />approximately 74,000 cubic yards of capacity has been used. At <br />the current compaction rate of approximately 1,050 pounds per <br />cubic yard and assuming disposal amounts remain steady at 9,500 tons annually, Phase 1 has approximately <br />4.2 years of use remaining (FY22-23). <br />Phase 2 will provide an additional 257,000 cubic yards of capacity, and the final two Phases 3 will add another <br />189,000 cubic yards. Given the same compaction rate and tonnage as with Phase 1, Phase 2 will provide 14.2 <br />years of capacity and Phases 3 will provide an additional 10.4 years of capacity <br />Phase 2 construction will have little to no environmental impact on the area. When Phase 1 was under <br />construction, Phase 2 was cleared and graded close to design specifications. That means no additional roads or <br />storm-water control will be required. <br />The recycling processing pad is currently located within the footprint of the landfill where Phase 2 will be <br />constructed. Phase 2, however, will be split into sections during construction, so the new recycling pad location <br />will not be needed until approximately FY2027-28. <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 Year 10 <br />Appropriation <br /> Land/Building - <br /> Professional Services 125,000 125,000 <br /> Construction/Repairs/Renovations 886,000 886,000 <br /> Equipment/Furnishings - <br /> Total Project Budget:- - - 125,000 886,000 - - 1,011,000 - <br />Revenues/Funding Source <br /> Solid Waste Funds - 125,000 125,000 - <br /> Debt Financing 886,000 886,000 <br /> Grant Funds - <br /> Total - - - 125,000 886,000 - - 1,011,000 - <br />Solid Waste Fund Related Operating Costs <br /> Personnel Services - <br /> Operations - <br /> Recurring Capital - <br /> New/Addl Revenue - <br /> Total Operating Costs -------- <br />104
