<br /> A second difliculty will be in finding the ~ operations to processing the moteriil. However, equipment vendors arId
<br /> olhcr sources can be used to help '\Igges! proper adjusrmenr. for the equipment and other maLerial handling technique>.
<br /> 11 thild will be to calculate tbe appropriate costs of proceo.ing lhe materials. To some degree, Dluch of the needed
<br /> utfoemition is alrady known. Other information will be collected during lbe proC<:ss and added iOto lIle equations. It
<br /> would appear Ihat cost. will be marc accurately delennincd as the project evolves.

<br /> Project lIudgct
<br /> The proposed project inCludes an estimated budgel of SI79,182. Of this amount, S98,OOO in grant funds will be used to
<br /> purchase a mecltani..cd screening devise 10 recycle the maiutenance material.. AI.o included is an amounl of S81,182 of
<br /> ill.kind fund. ftom the participating communities, which will bc wed for development and operation.. Tables 3 and 4
<br /> ,how Lhe major are.s and CO'I cslimates for each. In-kind rcsoun:es include labor, equipment and a site for proecs.,ing
<br /> thi. malerial. The funds fot these resources are from the respective communlly', general operating fund for thai particular
<br /> function.
<br /> Tho.,.e are several reosollS which prompt the panner conununllies to seek grant fuuds for thi. proposal. These include
<br /> concern for the envirollUl..,nt and concern for providing cost-effective services. Undo.,.lying lh..-.e is the fact that none of
<br />. the pannen 11'C large enough 10 initiate lhis servicc on it. own.
<br /> Concern for the environmenr is a key reason why these communities are pursuing this proposal. Highway mainlCllancc
<br /> personnel have three choices of ice comrol. One is to use an aggregate, like sand, to reduce the dallger of driving on
<br /> snow and ice-packed roads. A sectlnd is to use 100 pertenl de-ieer, such as .all or chloride. bUllhis choice has other
<br /> negalive consequences for the environment. The lbird Is 10 use a combioation of the two, with higher propoltion sand
<br /> ,hall salt. Although sand is a cheap, non.renewable resource, having 10 deal with it after tbe winter is more of a problem.
<br /> The second reason is the concemlo provide cost-effective servi=, Citizens are very concerned lUld alcn tu increases in
<br /> the cost of their governmem. The partn".,. collllllunilies .ee rhe proverbial handwriting on the wall..CO'lS wiD ri.e
<br /> dramalic.'lily if allel1lativc way. to deal with street sweeping. are not found. n,e proposed technology might well be the
<br /> future 80lmioll 10 having 10 provide .afe sU'eels and highway. 10 the motoring public. This technology needs '0 be
<br /> developed and relined so others can benelil as well. If we .tall preparing before the need become, overwhelming. costs
<br /> (0 t"'p'yers will not need to increase,
<br /> Fin.'lily, operations such as rhat proposed by member connnunities are naturals for the joint participation of several ,m..ller
<br /> communities. Furthermore, S\1CC:eaS at such an operation may have a carry-ovcr effect, leading to addilioual multi-
<br /> jurisdiction operations.
<br /> Table 3 and 4 below. .how details of in-kind lUld granl funds by each task. Table 3 reflects activities surrounding the
<br /> develoPlllClll of Lho project, while Table 4 ouUines the detail. of lbe actual operalion of !be project. NOI. that, while the
<br /> lahot e,,,,, are rea.onably accurale. the in-Icind houri are rough CAlimares. Fot example, il may require four hours to
<br /> uovcl"p a costing Slruclure, but it might not involve all [our of the panies listed-there may be more or less involved for
<br /> slighlly more or less hours. In general the,e figurc.q ate presented to err on lbe conservative side, and in actuality may
<br /> take Jess time and cosLI",,, as well. To keep CO>I! down during the development phase, partner communi,i.. will be ...ked
