HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION CENTER <br />-The Board reviewed the following memo dated 7/23187: <br />TO: BOARD OF COUNTY4WAE <br />NERS DATE: JULY 23-, 1987 - <br />THRU: TERRANCE G. PIN <br />.DIRECTOR OF UTICES <br />FROM: H. T. "SONNY" D <br />MANAGER OF SOLINAGEMENT <br />SUBJECT: HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION CENTER -Z <br />As you are aware, we have.been awarded a grant of $50,000 from DER to =- <br />construct the subject project. Along with the allocated monies, there <br />are some time constraints that must be met in order to get reimburse- <br />ment. All paid invoices must be at the DER -by December 1, 1987. <br />In order to stay within the allotted time, we need to fast-track the <br />project. We want to act as the contractor and sub -contract the various <br />stages of construction. Quotations from at least two sub -contractors <br />will be obtained on each phase of construction and work will be awarded <br />to the low bidder. If the formal bid process was used I do not feel <br />the time limit could be mewt. ., <br />DER has bought and constructed six (6) of the same type facilities we <br />intend to use. That is a concrete pad with a modular type building <br />that meets all the DER regulations. The facility will be enclosed with <br />a fence and located at the landfill site. <br />Staff request board action of approval of the fast-track concept <br />outlined above. <br />Chairman Scurlock asked if this would be the same type of <br />structure as the one in Palm Beach County on which we had a <br />presentation sometime ago, and Utilities Director Terry Pinto <br />felt!it was somewhat similar; it is a 81 x 22' module -type <br />facility that the State has approved for other areas. He <br />stressed that the site will be for the temporary collection of <br />hazardous wastes waiting for transfer. There will be no <br />treatment of hazardous wastes at this site. <br />Sonny Dean, Manager of Solid Waste Management, advised that <br />the DER already has 6 such centers in the state. <br />Commissioner Eggert inquired about the status of the grant, <br />and Director Pinto advised that we were notified just last week <br />thatlwe were to receive the grant. When the grant money became <br />available, the State really did not make it known right away and - <br />4.1987 2,VOK <br />
