6. Resource Recovery Technologies Considered
Technology
Description
Single
Stream
Processing
Sort mixed recyclable materials (blue bin), that are collected separately from refuse, and prepare for sale at market. Minimal residue remains after processing.
Mixed Waste Processing (MWP)
Process residential and/or commercial mixed waste, separating out the recyclable materials and preparing them to be sold at market. Remaining material disposed as residue.
Gasification
Process waste feedstock at high temperatures to produce an energy-rich synthesis gas and other products. Remaining material disposed as residue.
Anaerobic Digestion
Process organic materials anaerobically (without oxygen) using microorganisms to produce a methane-rich biogas and other products. Remaining material may be composted and/or disposed.

7. Focus on Single Stream and MWP
Technology
Rationale
Analysis Results
Gasification
Eliminated
Lack of U. S. operating facilities; relative high degree of permitting and operational risk; relative high cost
Technology developing, reevaluate in five years
Anaerobic Digestion
Mixed Waste Processing
Selected
Opportunity to recover commercial solid waste; commercially proven/developed within United States
Conduct detailed analysis
Single Stream
Consistent with existing system; commercially proven; need exists to process material already collected; opportunity to increase recovery
Maybe add two appendix pages about Gasification and AD. Use a simplified word version of the chart/matrix.

8. Single Stream Detailed Analysis
A single stream facility is financially and technically feasible
Need 75,000 to 85,000 annual tons to break even (currently the city processes 55,000 tons annually)
Depending on tonnages and commodity values, City could realize from $0 to $40 per ton of net revenue
Based on tonnage, technical, and financial requirements a public/private partnership is recommended
Locating new facility at the landfill could provide significant financial benefit
Undeveloped site for new MRF would increase capital cost by $ $2.5 million
Key recommendations
Conduct procurement that allows direct comparison between a processing services agreement and a recycling facility located at McCommas Bluff Landfill

9. Planning Study Recommendations (June 2014)
City should procure a new agreement to process single stream recyclables
Single Stream processing agreement expires in December 2016
Develop a new long term agreement (15-20 years with renewal options)
Consider a traditional processing service agreement (similar to current agreement), as well as look at developing a facility at McCommas Bluff Landfill through a public/private partnership agreement
Process will require 12 – 48 months
City should consider re-evaluating emerging technologies in 3-5 years
City should look for opportunities to transform portions of McCommas Bluff Landfill to a Resource Recovery Park over time

10. RFCSP Process Overview

11. Final RFCSP Overview
Options for companies to propose on either (or both) delivery methods
Processing Services Agreement (PSA): Contractor processes material at a facility that meets RFCSP requirements.
McCommas Bluff Facility: City to make 15 acres available to proposers to design, build and operate a facility at McCommas Bluff Landfill.
Capital cost to be born by proposer and ownership transitions to the City of Dallas at contract termination.
Opportunity for facility to “anchor” a Resource Recovery Park
