TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners of Oakland County by Miscellaneous
Resolution No. 7059 on April 17, 1975 did adopt a Solid Waste Disposal System,
Master Plan; and
WHEREAS, the County Executive, Daniel T. Murphy, on June 1, 1977 did
appoint a broad-based, 17 member citizens Solid Waste Advisory Group for purposes
of advising the administration on the best means for implementing the Master
Plan and with assisting the administration in carrying the implementation
forward; and
WHEREAS, resolutions were sent to the 43 units of government in the
County Plan giving them an opportunity to express their intention and desire
to be a user of a County resource recovery or energy conversion facility; and
WHEREAS, adopted "Resolutions of Intent" have been received from 28 of
the 43 units of government representing 89% of the population to be included
in the County Plan on the basis of 1970 U.S. Census figures; and
WHEREAS, the Solid Waste Advisory Group by a report dated April 1978
has made certain recommendations for implementation; and
WHEREAS, Phase I of these recommendations points out the need for a
financial feasibility study to be performed by a nationally recognized consulting
engineering firm and a similarly credentialed financial consultant who both
have had prior experiences in the planning and procurement of a large scale
resource recovery/energy conversion facility and attendant system; and
WHEREAS, the financial feasibility study is primarily needed to
determine preferred financing vehicles, establish estimated "tipping fees,"
provide economic factors for ownership and operation decision-making, and provide
necessary estimates of the system costs for inclusion in the contracts with
each of the participating units of government; and
WHEREAS, as a part of the financial feasibility study, due to changing
economic conditions and other factors since the preparation of the Master Plan,
the number, generalized location, and handling capacities of the planned
transfer stations, sanitary landfill, and resource recovery/energy conversion
facility will need to be reviewed; and
WHEREAS, your Committee has reviewed and concurrs in these recommendations
as outlined above.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED the County Executive is hereby authorized
and directed to receive Consulting Engineering and Financial Consultant proposals
for the Phase I financial feasibility study, to evaluate these proposals with
an evaluation committee comprised of the Chairman of the Solid Waste Advisory
Group, a person appointed by the Chairman of the Board of Commissioners,
and a person appointed by the County Executive, and to make their recommendation
to the Board of Commissioners for approval and funding.
