Coordination with DLNR for Leilani Street realignment • Education - of whole facility and how it is best used • Legislative bans on specific commodities (greenwaste or cut-up tires) as needed SORT STATION -COUNTY OPERATION: Approximately $400,000 annual operation, $5 55/ion Pros. • Can foNow City and County of Honolulu model. Allows for more diversion from landfiti. Incentives easier to work with County control of the facility. • No union fight for the work. Would like ko negotiate temporary jobs. • Flexible. When a waste technology needs the Sort/re-load facility Eater, it's available. • No need to have multi-year contract for operation. • Coordination and surgelslack issues of private operator and public truckers disappear. • Pricing is similar with public or private operation. • Concern of private operator wanting more trash to be trucked to landfill disappear. • Concern of private operator wanting more trash to invoice. Cons: • County will ownlmaintain more equipment. More personnel/management issues. Other Information: • UPW, via June Rabago, hinted at approval of private operation of "recycling". • Estimates of 2-5% diversion from landfill by picking up off the tip floor and contracting with prvate vendors. LONG-HAUL TRUCKING/MAINTENANCE OF EQUIPMENT COUNTY OPERATION: Approximately $1 Million annually or $16-17Jton Pros: • Increased operational flexibility because: Increasing recycling rates over time should reduce overall volume. County may want to route some trailers directly to Pu'uanahulu for community concerns or operational efficiencies. Changing volumes not a problem with County operation. A waste reduction technology should drastically reduce volumes, contract issues hard to negotiate with so many unknowns- • Opportunities to standardize trailers for transfer stations and long-haul. • Greater sensitivity to public concerns possible. • Rougtrly the same costs as private operation. Cons, • Pnvate contract would need to be for 7-10 years based on volumes, either with a minimum, or a straight per ton price. • Will have to pay for extra truckltractors and trailers. Probably 5 truckltractors and 8 trailers. Cost estimate is $1.2M for direct purchase. Lease-to-own (5 years) would be $250,000(year. • County gains maintenance of extra equipment, and the facility to repair/maintain. • County employment policies and Union agreements may constrain to work assignments relative to days and hours. • We gain all the liability issues of running trucks on the roads. • We gain all the personnel management issues of 17_ more employees,
