Factoria Recycling and Transfer Station Project Oversight

Children and Family Justice Center Project Schedule at Risk
June 13, 2013

The Solid Waste Division (SWD) is ready to issue the Request for Proposals to select the contractor for construction of the Factoria Recycling and Transfer Station. SWD’s current schedule shows construction contract award and warehouse demolition work occurring later in the year than recommended in their risk register to mitigate weather-related construction risks. We recommend SWD work to award the contract as early as possible in 2014, and continue to consider early warehouse removal. SWD has addressed recommendations from our previous report.

The Solid Waste Division (SWD) reduced the capacity, size, and estimated construction cost of the Factoria Recycling and Transfer Station in response to lower waste forecasts and recommendations from the 2011 performance audit. The total estimated cost for the project is $88.8 million. Additional opportunities to make the project more cost effective exist. SWD is making progress but has not fully met new County project management requirements that apply to this project.
