RESOLUTION SUPPORTING FINANCING OF THE PLANNING, DESIGN AND
CONSTRUCTION OF THE WASTE REDUCTION FACILITY IN EAST HAWAII
UTILIZING THE DESIGN-BUILD-OPERATE PROCUREMENT PROCESS
WHEREAS, the Council of the County of Hawaii requested that the Administration
proceed as expeditiously as possible with the selection of a Waste Reduction Facility technology
to replace the South Hilo Landfill which is nearing capacity; and
WHEREAS, the Department of Environmental Management has been working with the
Finance Department to issue a Request for Proposal for aDesign-Build-Operate Waste
Reduction Facility in East Hawaii since June 2005; and
WHEREAS, it is anticipated that the Waste Reduction Facility will be constructed
adjacent to the South Hilo Landfill; and
WHEREAS, construction of the Waste Reduction Facility would reduce the East
Hawaii waste stream considerably and would produce a fractional amount of residue that must
be sent to the South Hilo Landfill; and
WHEREAS, the Waste Reduction Facility could be operated in conjunction with a
material recovery facility to extract recyclable materials from the feedstock; and
WHEREAS, the Waste Reduction Facility could be configured to produce electrical
power; and
WHEREAS, although the County has considered public financing for the planning,
design and construction of the Waste Reduction Facility, the County may require the Design-
. Build-Operate contractor to provide private financing should a less proven technology be
selected; and
WHEREAS, although the funding method to finance the planning, design and
construction of the Waste Reduction Facility technology is undetermined at this time, the
Council of the County of Hawaii wishes to show its financial commitment to and support for the
Waste Reduction Facility in East Hawaii.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY
OF HAWAII that the County Council or the Administration shall bring forward, prior to final
selection of the Waste Reduction Facility Design-Build-Operate contractor, a funding method to
finance the planning, design and construction of the Waste Reduction Facility in East Hawaii.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that upon review of the funding method, the County
Council or the Administration shall immediately bring forward a capital improvement project
funding request, should public financing be the preferred methodology to finance the planning,
design and construction of the Waste Reduction Facility in East Hawaii.
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that should the County require private financing
provided by the Waste Reduction Facility Design-Build-Operate contractor to better manage the
contractual risks of utilizing a less proven technology, the County Council or the Administration
may bring forward a funding request to provide minimal funding, if needed, to assist the Design-
Build-Operate contractor to move the Waste Reduction Facility project forward as expeditiously
as possible.
