Consideration of an authorization to transfer from Solid Waste Fund Cash to the Transfer Station Expansion Phase 1 Project, PN 6-C-023-20.
Body
________________________________________________________________________________
Summary:
The Transfer Station Expansion project has been included in Capital Improvement Plans since the 2018-2022 plan. To date, $1,360,000 has been allocated in the CIP to Phase I of the project from the Solid Waste Fund.
Phase 1 is underway and includes the installation of a new scale, scale house, additional pavement, additional parking, stormwater improvements and rerouting traffic flow to improve safety and efficiency. Camm Construction is the construction contractor and is set to begin dirt work late this fall.
As the project has continued to develop, the team identified that the original budget is not enough to complete the full project scope. An additional $320,000 is needed to cover material cost escalations including tariffs totaling $288,369, as well as $31,631 in contingency given the size and scope of the project and increasing costs that have been incurred to date.
Staff are requesting Council approve a transfer of $320,000 from existing Solid Waste Fund balance to Transfer Station Expansion Phase 1 Project, PN 6-C-023-20. There are adequate reserves in the Fund to cover the transfer. Any unspent money will be returned to the Solid Waste Fund.
Construction on this project is expected to be completed in Spring 2026.
