Approve Consultant Contract for Construction and Demolition Program Support
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
The City of Redmond is developing a Construction and Demolition (C&D) Debris program for the City. The City Council adopted an Environmental Sustainability Action Plan (ESAP) which includes a goal to divert 70% of waste by 2030, and Action M4.2 of the plan calls for comprehensive C&D recycling, recovery policies and other actions to prohibit disposal of recoverable C&D materials. This contract is to provide consultant support to define the program elements, conduct a stakeholder involvement process, draft and support adoption of needed code language and provide programming development support to help ensure successful implementation of a Construction and Demolition Program.

OUTCOMES:
The ESAP goal of increasing the City diversion rate to 70% by 2030 will require a significant increase in the amount of tonnage diverted from landfill disposal from the City of Redmond. Construction and demolition debris from development and construction projects in the City provides a great opportunity to increase diversion. Moving construction and demolition debris towards reuse rather than landfilling will also reduce the greenhouse gas emissions associated with new building materials.
