Meeting Minutes - Final February 19, 2019
Attachments: Staff Report
Director of Utility Services Vincent Burke recapped the direction of the Board
at the February 5, 2019 BCC meeting, and presented an outline for discussion.
With regard to the Landfill Gas Agreement, Director Burke offered that staff
was in the negotiations process to sell generated landfill gas (LFG) to the Indian
River Eco District (IRED), and he noted his intent to present the LFG
Agreement to the Board in March 2019.
Director Burke then addressed the Yard Waste Processing, making mention that
the current vegetative waste contractor, Mr. Mulch, is scheduled to renew their
one (1) year renewal contract term on April 1, 2019, and that either party may
terminate the agreement upon submission of a 90 -calendar -day notice to
terminate. He informed the Board of the proposed changes to the request for
proposal (RFP), currently being drafted to advertise for the operation of the
yard waste facility on SWDD property, to include a seven (7) year base term
with an optional extension of a three (3) year term that could be renewed for an
additional seven (7) years plus another three (3) years, at the sole discretion of
the SWDD Board and based on a third -party market analysis.
Next, regarding Concrete Crushing and Site Work, Director Burke stated that an
invitation to bid was currently being drafted. He explained that the concrete
currently being stored at the landfill would be processed to be used on the
SWDD property for road stability and the yard waste laydown area, and
possibly for purposes to improve non -Florida Department of Transportation
(FDOT) dirt roads in the unincorporated area of the County. He made note that
the scope of work would include strict requirements to mitigate the dust and
odor involved. Director Burke stated the time -sensitivity involved due to the
swampy condition of the current vegetation debris site, which needs stabilizing
material to build up the area prior to the rainy season.
Lastly, Director Burke addressed a concern related to tires being punctured by
loose nails, a result of wooden pallets being accepted and mulched at the yard
waste facility. He proposed to discontinue the acceptance of wooden pallets,
effective March 1, 2019, and to require that the pallets be disposed of in the
Class 1 landfill at the current tipping rate for Construction & Demolition
Debris.
Chairman Solari spoke to the importance of recycling wooden pallets and other
packaging materials, although he was supportive of staffs short-term solution to
no longer accept wooden pallets for mulching at the yard waste facility.
