Odio ENCLOSURES Commission Meeting) City Manager Recommendation It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached resolution authorizing the purchase of 7000 tons of limerock needed for additional construction of the Virginia Key yard waste composting site from an existing Dade County, Florida Bid Contract No. 1168-8-91, to Sunshine Trucking Inc., a local, minority vendor at a total cost not to exceed $30,000 which funds are available from the FY 91 recycling grant fund. The limerock is required to cover a twelve (12) acre base that will be asphalted and shall serve as the primary processing area and road access to the recycling facility. Sunshine Trucking Inc., is lo- cated at 1102 S.W. 35 Avenue, Miami. Background The 1988 State of Florida Solid Waste Management Act requires local governments to implement recycling programs to accomplish the statewide thirty percent (30%) waste reduction mandate by July 1, 1994. Section 403.706 (2)(c) Florida Statute, encourages municipalities to "recycle yard waste into compost available for agricultural and other acceptable uses." It is estimated that the Division of Solid Waste collects approximately sixty thousand (60,000) tons of yard waste annually representing nearly twenty five percent (25%) of the City's annual waste stream. The yard waste recycling program will help generate potential disposal cost savings to the City of approximately $2.2 million (at current tipping fees of $42/ton) from the avoidance of County disposal charges. Through yard waste composting the City can significantly contribute to the State waste reduction goal, generate landfill disposal cost savings, and produce useful end products such as mulch, ground cover for parks, and other soil conditioners. In order to expand current pilot operations, a limerock base must be extended to cover the twelve (12) acre mulching site located on the north west corner of Virginia Key where experimental grinding is currently underway.
