IN RE: Department of Public Works-Solid Waste - REVISED CONTRACT DOCUMENTS
WITH THE WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC CORPORATION FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A
2,000 TPD WASTE-TO-ENERGY FACILITY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners, on March 9, 1989, by Miscellaneous
Resolution #89062, approved a contract between the County of Oakland and the
Westinghouse Electric Corporation for the construction and operation of a
1,500 tpd waste-to-energy facility at the County Service Center (Oakland
Avenue Site); and
WHEREAS, this plant was originally envisioned as the first of three
such facilities within the County; and
WHEREAS, the County's Solid Waste Management Plan has since been
revised to incorporate aggressive volume reduction goals which call for
substantially less waste-to-energy capacity than originally envisioned; and
WHEREAS, the proposed site for the waste-to-energy facility has been
changed to the City of Auburn Hills near the intersection of Brown Road and
Giddings Road where substantial benefits are derived in terms of enhanced
access and improved emissions control because of the lack of stack height
limitations; and
WHEREAS, county staff and consultants have been negotiating with
Westinghouse over the terms and conditions of the construction and service
agreements as they relate to an increased plant capacity of 2000, tpd and
the revised site location.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners hereby accepts the revised bid of Westinghouse Energy
Corporation in the amount of $170,185,000 for the construction and operation
of a 2,000 ton per day waste-to-energy facility and directs the Chairperson
to jointly execute such agreements along with the Oakland County Executive.
Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the Planning and Building Committee, I
move the adoption of the foregoing resolution
