Award of Debris Recycling Contract
Public Works
As a result of the earthquake on January 17, 1994, the City of Santa Clarita has experienced
an increased amount of construction and demolition debris in the wastestream. Debris
materials generated from block wafls, chimneys, sidewalks, and roadways are stockpiled at
the City's debris collection site.
The California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (AB939) requires that the City of
Santa Clarita reduce the amount of waste going to landfills by 25 % by the year 1995, and
50% by the year 2000. Consequently, the City has requested informal proposals from area
contractors to provide services for the processing and recycling of construction and
demolition debris for use in reconstruction projects.
At this time, Staff is in the process of evaluating all proposals presented for this service.
Therefore, additional information will be provided to the City Council on March 8.
RECOMMENDATION
Receive Staff's presentation and award the debris recycling contract to the most efficient,
economical, and environmentally sound service provider. In addition, authorize the Finance
Director to set up appropriate revenue and expenditure accounts in emergency fund 90.
