, Department of Solid Waste Management October 6, 2004 To: Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners From: Rick Payne Subject: Amendment to Current Fee Schedule The Solid Waste Department has been contacted by more than one (1) hauling contractor) requesting a more competitive tipping fee based on large volumes of material brought to the Cabarrus County C&D landfill. This would be through special projects the contractor may have or current daily operations where the contractor maybe utilizing a landfill closer to their job sites. Thè most recent request came as a result of the demolitio!,,! projects with Pillowtex. The . contractors bidding on the project(s) are estimating 1500-2000 loads and more than 12,000 tons. This project alone could generate more than $200,000.00 in revenue for the Solid Waste Department. My recommendation is that we offer a reduce rate of $17.50 per ton and a "Flat Rate" of $140.00 based on 12,000 tons during a one (1) year period. A written contract between the County and the hauling contractor drafted by the County attorney must be in place. This contract will include an agreement that any customer\hauling contractor not meeting the requirement of 12,000 tons, the tip fee would revert back to the current fee of $20.00 per ton or $160.00 "Flat Rate" and the hauler will be charged accordingly. The "Flat Rate" is restricted to "Roll-Off Trucks" only. The landfill received 25,500 tons of C&D material during FY 03. I reviewed the account and tonnage reports and currently only (1) company was close to the volume required; however this aggressive rate could persuade haulers to bring additional loads to our landfill to meet the requirements. .
