BOOK 10i PAGE David M. Griffith & Associates (DMG) appears to have more experience in utility recruitment. For example, the cities of Charlottesville and Richmond, Virginia have retained the firm for utility director searches. Both provided strong recommendations concerning the firms experience and capabilities in utility recruitment. As a result of further discussion, DMG has advised that they would provide service at a total fee not to exceed $16,500 ($12,500 base plus $4,000 maximum out-of-pocket expense). It is my recommendation that the Board authorize retaining David M. Griffith & Associates at expense not to exceed $16,500. Copies of all proposals are on file in the Board office. ON MOTION by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously authorized retaining David M Griffith & Associates, Inc. at an expense not -to -exceed $16,500, as recommended by staff. 10A SOLID WASTE FUTURE DISPOSAL ALTERNATIVES - STATUS REPORT The Board reviewed a Memorandum of May 28, 1997: TO: Board of County Commissioners DATE: May 28, 1997 SUBJECT: Solid Waste Future Disposal Alternatives - Status Report FROM: James E. Chandler/,sem" County Administrator Since rejection ofthe INRIVCO proposal on March 4, 1997, a determination concerning direction for continued pursual of long range alternatives has not been made. The alternatives range from the waste conversion industrial park (WCIP) to other alternative processes. Consideration of any such alternatives will undoubtedly require a long term commitment by the County in the form of an agreement which would include such provisions as multi year term, waste stream dedications, and payment guarantees (tip fee). Unless negotiations were undertaken with one of the other firms that submitted a waste conversion industrial park proposal, the selection process would need to be initiated again. The process would generally include: alternative concept evaluation and determination; RFP preparation, advertisement, and proposal rankings; and negotiation of an agreement. Considering the time lapse since receipt of the WCIP proposals, long range implications, staff intensive nature of the process, and Utility Director's resignation, it is my recommendation that all options be maintained at this time and proceed with consideration when the new Director has started. As such it is also my recommendation to formally reject the two previously ranked WCIP proposals of Municipal Waste Management and Norton Environmental. 32 JUNE 39 1997
