Title
Parkland County Transfer Station Expansion Options
Proposed Motion
That the Parkland County Transfer Station building be expanded to the north and to the south as one project including a second weigh scale for a budgeted amount of $5,700,000 with funding for the project coming from the Waste Management Restricted Surplus.
Body
Administration Recommendation
Administration recommends that the full expansion of the Parkland County Transfer Station (PCTS) be completed in 2016 so the service interruptions to customers due to construction are kept to a minimum and that $476,000 in construction cost will be saved over the staged option.
Purpose
The Parkland County Transfer Station is in need of upgrading in order to handle the current and future volume of traffic through the facility.
Summary
It is projected that expanding the PCTS building to the north and south, along with the addition of a second scale will serve Parkland County for the next 20 years.
