RE:
Transfer Station Collocation
Public Works generates trips at our existing lov,'=r county shop as detailed below for your
consideration.
Approximately 20 employees- including temporary, not including administrative
employees.
Potential for 9 employees from Upper County shop to work at Lower County in the
summer.
Winter hours: 7 am -3:30 pm_
Summer hours: 6 am -4:30 pm.
60 pieces of equipment + snow plows.
Equipment potentially out for 12 hour days, 4 am -4 pm or 6 am -6 pm.
Freight comes in on a daily basis from UPS.
Asphalt loads are delivered every day for the month of July (31 days) typically mid-
morning.
O Anti -icer is delivered once a week for 3 months (12 days), typically mid-morning.
Public Works understands that Solid Waste paid $3,300,000 for 54.95 acres supporting the new
lower county transfer station. A quick lease analysis appears below supporting five (5) acres of
lease from Solid Waste supporting a new lower county shop facility.
Cost per acre = $3,300,000/54.95 acres = $60,055/acre
Five acres = (5)X(43,560 SF) = 217,800 SF
Assume:
Present value = ($60,055/acre)X(5 acres) _ $300,275
Interest rate = two percent per year = 2%
Cost recovery period of initial lease = 40 year:
Payment at the beginning of the lease
Annual payment = $10,762
Cost per square foot (SF) _ $10,7621217,800 SF = $0.05/SF
CONCLUDE: Public Works desires leasing five (5) acres of solid waste transfer station land in a
colocation proposal.
