Driscoll, Mayor Richard Viscay, Finance Director Memo Date: April 19, 2007 To: Kimberley Driscoll, Mayor From: Richard Viscay, Finance Director Cc: Beth Rennard, City Solicitor Kathy Winn, Deputy Director, Planning and Community Development Kevin Comacchio Re: Request for Proposal—Salem Transfer Station • I have reviewed the proposals for the transfer station. Here are my comments on the services/revenues portion of the comparative criteria: 1. New Growth I CaI C�y�/�'�` • Salem Transfer Station LLC f i. Proposes 13,300 sq. ft. building: The assumption would be that the building would be a concrete slab, corrugated metal/steel bldg with basic plumbing and between 30' and 40' in height • Value= $65 sq. ft. or $864,500 a. New Growth=$17,964 (permanent levy increase) b. Yearly Taxes = $17,964 (bldg only) • Northside Carting i. Proposes building — size unknown: Assumption is 6,160 sq. ft. building (70' x 88') same construction as detailed above. • Value = $65 sq. ft. or$400,400 a. New Growth= $8,320 b. Yearly Taxes = $8,320 (building only) Note: The size of the buildings may not indicate the total amount of taxes paid. Typically, commercial properties are valued on an income cap basis as well as sales comparison approach. As you know, the Salem Transfer Station is proposing a 650-ton per day operation, while Northside Carting is proposing a 400-ton per day operation. As such, it is safe to assume that the Salem Transfer Station LLC proposal will be more lucrative to the City from both a new growth and an ongoing tax receipt perspective. 2. Tipping Fee (Royalty): . Assumptions: • Both plants will operate at 75% of capacity • Both plants will operate 275 days per year Salem Transfer Station LLC i. @ $2.00 per ton x 487.5 tons per day x 275 days = $268,125 per year Northside Carting ii. @ $0.50 per ton x 300 tons per day x 275 days — $41,250 per year Salem Transfer Station LLC is clearly the better option due to the size of the facility and the $1.50 per ton increase in tipping fee to the City. 3. Services: • Salem Transfer Station LLC i. Curbside leaf/yard waste collection four times per year— $150,000 value ii. Reduced rate to residents once per month =no value given iii. Termination penalty in the event the LLC were denied permits = $100,000 (to be put toward the closure efforts) • Northside Carting i. Use of the western portion of the site, including the use of a 70' x 88' salt • shed and composting/recycling operation at $1 per year (Northside proposes not paying taxes on this portion of the land and improvements, however, I do not know that this is allowable per Chapter 59 of the MGL) _ $72,000 per year (salt barn/compost/recycling) and $60,000 per year (lease of western portion site) ii. Acceptance of yard waste from Salem residents free of charge during normal business hours iii. Acceptance of white goods (free of refrigerants) from Salem residents free of charge iv. Acceptance of City Department generated solid wastes (not including curbside waste) at no charge to the City during normal working hours v. Pickup of up to 150 small dumpsters for special events at no charge vi. Provides funding for a designated contact for dealing with day-to-day solid waste management issues = $35,868 per year vii. Pickup of downtown trash (117 barrels) 7 days a week from May 1 — October 31 and 3 days a week from November 1 to April 30 Northside Carting is providing more services to the City than Salem Transfer Station LLC. However, we need to further investigate the "annual value" placed on these services in Appendix 2 of their proposal. Some of the services are already part of the proposal and should carry no value and others (for both Salem Transfer Station LLC and Northside Carting) need to be broken down in further detail to gain a better understanding of the "annual value"to the City. • For example: In placing a value on the western portion site of the transfer station, would we realize $60,000 in tax revenue if we chose not to use this site @ $1 per year? Is the additional value of the salt barn/compost/recycling worth $72,000? Can we legally not tax Northside for land and improvements (what MGL would allow this)? Is curbside leaf/yard waste collection 4 times per year worth $150,000 to the City? Most of these questions will have to be asked during the interview process, but I feel that we need to clarify this in order to make an apple-to-apple comparison. However, strictly from a revenue perspective, the Salem Transfer Station LLC proposal would be more lucrative for the City based upon its higher royalty fee and increased capacity. The additional services proposed by Northside Carting do not make up the difference in the new growth, taxing capacity, and annual royalty fees that we can realize in Salem Transfer Station LLC's proposal. Please do not hesitate to contact me if there are any questions on this matter.
