M <br />The Contractor bid $950 per acre for clearing and grubbing the 53 <br />acre right-of-way for a total cost of $50,350. <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />The following* alternatives have been identified as possible options <br />to dispose of the cleared material. <br />Alternative No. 1 <br />Allow the Contractor, on behalf of the County, to burn <br />the cleared material at the Jack Davis site with an air <br />curtain incinerator as provided for in exemption <br />925.03(2) for governmental entities. Chapter 925 <br />currently includes exemptions for agriculture, <br />silvaculture, clearing debris burned on-site, and state <br />permitted facilities operated by governmental agencies. <br />If this interpretation is approved, the Contractor can <br />dispose of the material at no additional cost to the <br />project. <br />Alternative No. 2 <br />Allow the Contractor to burn the material in the City of <br />Sebastian city limits if a suitable site can be found. <br />At this time, staff is not aware of a specific site. No <br />additional cost is anticipated. <br />Alternative No. 3 <br />Allow the Contractor to use the Solid Waste Disposal <br />District's mulching machine. On Sept. 8, 1993, the <br />machine was moved on-site for a trial period. In one <br />day, approximately 1,000 l.f. of a sparsely vegetated <br />area was mulched. In investigating the entire two mile <br />project, approximately 50% of the material could be <br />mulched. It is estimated that 30 working days would be <br />required to mulch all of this mulchable material. <br />Estimated cost would be: <br />30 days ® 7 hrs/day ® $150/hr = $31,500 + repairs to machine if <br />necessary. <br />Stump/Palm Tree disposal to approved site in City of Sebastian <br />100 truck loads x 40 yds.truck ® $3.25/yd = $13,000 <br />Additional costs may be applicable based upon time <br />delays. <br />A $6,000 reduction in the contract cost may be applied since the <br />Contractor will not have to burn the material. Estimated <br />Additional Cost $38,500. <br />Alternative No. 4 <br />Dispose of all material at the County landfill facility: <br />Tipping Fee 12,000 c.y. ® 2 Ton ® $20/Ton = $96,000 <br />5 c.y. <br />Trucking Cost 36 miles(round trip) $100/load x 300 loads = $30,000 <br />based upon $50/hr truck rental <br />A $6,000 reduction in the contract cost may be applied since the <br />Contractor will not have to burn the material. Estimated <br />Additional Cost $ 120,000. <br />37 <br />L_ AFP 141993 BOOK 90 Fa,r 153.8 <br />
