Dept of Environmental Management DATE 3/22/10 <br />STAFF CONTACT: Lono Tyson PHONE: 961 -8083 <br />Request to amend Ordinance 09 -64, Operating Budget for Fiscal Year 2009 -2010, to increase the budget for <br />the Geothermal Relocation and Community Benefits Fund as follows: <br />Fund Balance from Previous Year $700,000 <br />095 801.5801.54 Transfer to Capital Projects Fund — Geothermal $700,000 <br />B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED) <br />Our Solid Waste Division received the bids for the construction of permanent improvements at the Pahoa <br />Recycling and Transfer Station on March 4, 2010. Although the bids we received were extremely <br />competitive, the bid amounts exceeded the funds that we have available for the project The bid was <br />constructed such that two elements of the project could be deducted in the event that sufficient funds were <br />not available These elements included (1) an additional chute intended to add additional refuse capacity to <br />accommodate future growth of the community or to collect green waste or other commodities, and (2) a roof <br />structure over the Recycling Center area, designed to provide rain protection to facility users as well as to <br />divert storm water from recycling collection bins. The roof structure would provide shelter for a recycling <br />compactor machine, the HI5 redemption area, as well as the recyclables collection bins. Additionally, the <br />roof is designed to collect rainwater for the facility's rainwater harvesting system. Approximately $700,000 is <br />needed to include these two elements in the award of the project. <br />We respectfully request that this bill be waived from the Council's Finance Committee to help expedite this <br />project and award the construction contract under the current bid <br />SIGNED. <br />SIGNED: <br />Depar me <br />r. <br />Department Head <br />C \Documents and Settings \schenry \Desktop\B -52 - Request for Council Action - Ord Pahoa TS Geothermal 032210 doc <br />DATE: ;5 /2Z /201h <br />DATE: <br />
