| Selection
of New C&D Recycling Contractor by City of Portland,
Maine
GBB Assists in Selection of New Operator That Could
Save City $1M a Year
(Portland, Maine)
With
the long-term agreement that GBB helped the City
negotiate with a new contractor for its C&D
recycling facility, the City expects to save approximately
$1 million per year, based on lower costs for
operations and new revenues from more aggressive
materials marketing. |

The City of Portland,
Maine, announced, in the summer 2005, the selection
of Commercial Paving & Recycling Company LLC of
Scarborough, Maine, to run its Riverside Recycling Facility,
a regional facility processing approximately 60,000
tons of material per year from the City of Portland
residents and from residents of neighboring municipalities.
The longterm agreement is expected to generate a savings
of approximately $1 million a year for the City based
on a lower cost to operate the facility and new annual
revenues generated by the aggressive marketing of the
materials processed and recycled. In late 2004, GBB
was selected, in partnership with the Maguire Group,
Inc., to perform an independent review of operations
and financial results at the Riverside Recycling Facility
located on the northwest side of Portland. The primary
objective of the assignment was to determine the advantages
and disadvantages of the City’s methods of handling
construction and demolition (C&D) debris, bulky
waste and organics.
The GBB Project Team
evaluated the pros and cons of the City’s contractual
arrangement with the private firm now operating the
facility, provided a detailed economic review, compared
operations with established practices in the waste handling
industry, and reviewed C&D waste handling strategies
available to the City. The GBB Project Team ultimately
recommended that a formal request for proposals (RFP)
be issued in order to fully take advantage of the competitive
marketplace. GBB was subsequently retained as part of
the RFP development team and participated in the proposal
review process.
“Jurisdictions
that take a close look at the details of their operations
and options can often generate important savings. The
City of Portland had the foresight of questioning what
they were doing and looking for expert opinions. They
avoided simply going through the motions, and this decision
will pay off for years to come,” noted GBB Senior
Vice President Bob Brickner. As a national expert in
the field of C&D waste recycling/management, Bob
has toured over 80 C&D recycling projects in the
past 13 years. He was able to bring this experience
to bear in GBB’s assistance to Portland.
