Economic
Analysis
 We
regularly conduct economic analyses for waste processing
and recycling projects. These analyses include estimation
of capital and operating costs and of project revenues
and preparation of pro formas for specified project
periods. We also have prepared business plans and
third-party investment analyses for a variety of solid
waste management projects.
| Dominican
Republic -- The Government initiated the
preparation of a project for the improvement of
water supply and sanitation services in tourist
areas. The project involved the review of financial
statements, budgets, and revenue options for seven
cities/regions in the country. Specialized assistance
was provided in various aspects related to private
sector participation in solid waste management.
|
| City
and County of San Francisco -- A technical
and economic evaluation was conducted of the systems
used to collect and process garbage (rest waste),
recyclables, and organics from the City's residential
and commercial waste generators. Capital and O&M
improvements were identified that would be required
to maintain the current processing capacity and
evaluated and defined the requirements for obtaining
additional processing capacity. In addition, CalRecovery
analyzed new collection technologies for integrated
collection, diversion of waste by the private
sector, and management alternatives for C&D
wastes and commercial wastes. Assistance was provided
to the City in the review of a rate application
submitted by the private collection company. |
| City
of Sacramento, California -- Assistance
was provided to the City in the conduct of a cost
of service and rate setting study. Work included:
1) determining the cost of providing collection
service for garbage and recyclables; 2) disaggregating
the costs into specific costs for various types
of services; and 3) assisting in the development
of the rate methodology. |
