fi <br />the Agency's demonstration goals. Foth provided planning, design, bid- <br />ding and construction administration services for the project. Systems <br />and materials used included geothermal heating and cooling, exterior <br />siding manufactured from recycled materials, flooring manufactured <br />from recycled and/or sustainable materials, ceiling system manufac- <br />tured from recycled materials, treated wood products using sustainable <br />materials rather than hazardous materials, increased levels of insulation <br />in the building envelope, insulating/remain-in-place concrete forms <br />for the basement walls, minimizing the disturbed footprint on the site, <br />porous paving surfaces, and other concepts. <br />Foth also assisted Agency staff in developing <br />a construction material recycling program for <br />use by the contractor during the construction <br />period. A rain garden and prairie vegeta- <br />tion landscaping plan was developed for the <br />Agency to implement over time as part of the <br />site plan and education program. <br />Olmsted County <br />Material Recycling <br />Facility <br />Rochester, Minnesota <br />Olmsted County is considering the develop- <br />ment of a single stream MRF. The County is <br />evaluating the advantages and disadvantages <br />of a range of facility options (e.g. throughput, <br />size, flexibility, durability of systems, among <br />others) relative to development (capital <br />improvement) costs and long-term costs. Foth <br />provided preliminary opinions of construction <br />costs for different size facilities depending <br />on how large a service area the facility could <br />potentially serve, as well as different durabil- <br />ity of building materials. <br />Foth identified two existing single -stream <br />BYf recycling facilities that matched the size <br />"oe a.mayrr <br />o throughputs desired and obtained their exist- <br />_ <br />-r'¢=her= ing building size information, as well as pre- <br />liminary "future" plans developed for these <br />facilities. Foth provided preliminary construction cost opinions for <br />metal and fabric building type options with throughputs of 15 tph-single <br />shift, 15 tph-two shifts, and 25 tph-one shift. Project assumptions, siz- <br />ing, and preliminary site layouts were included in Foth's report to the <br />County as well as the advantages and disadvantages to each option. <br />Recycling Drop -Off Center Analysis & Plan Development <br />City of Ramsey, MN —October 2012 <br />*Foth <br />2-17 <br />
