Title
Vote on Request to approve the contract with Waste Industries (GFL) of Durham transfer station and authorize the County Manager to execute the contract.
Abstract
Action Requested: Vote on Request to approve the contract with Waste Industries (GFL) of Durham transfer station and authorize the County Manager to adopt the contract.
Introduction & Background: Compactor and bulky containers are taken from some of the Collection Centers and hauled to the Waste Industries Transfer Station in Durham.
Discussion & Analysis: The majority of our municipal solid waste (MSW) tonnage is taken to the Great Oak Landfill in Randolph County. The transfer station in Sanford and Durham are used as alternate disposal locations because they are closer to some of the Collection Centers than the landfill, there is usually less wait time and less wear and tear on the trucks. We sign agreements every fiscal year specifying the cost per ton of each disposal location.
How does this relate to the Comprehensive Plan: become more resilient by mitigating responding and adapting to emerging threats.
Budgetary Impact: Cost per ton $49.00 included in the operating budget.
Recommendation: Approve the contract with Waste Industries (GFL) of Durham and authorize the County Manager to execute the contract to commence on July 1, 2022.
