Proposed Trail Ridge Contract

Trail Ridge Landfill Contract

Excerpts From Public Records Request by Concerned Taxpayers of Duval County

Two pages from the hundred or so pages which comprise the original Request for Proposals and four Addenda dated July 2, 1990 through August 9, 1990.
The first page, “Description and Scope of Work” is as returned from the successful bidder on August 15, 1990.  To Concerned Taxpayers of Duval County, it is clear that the proposal is for a 20 year “facility” (i.e., landfill) of a certain tonnage capacity.  On the second page, item no. 7 makes it clear the contract was to be for no more than 657,000 tons times 20 years [13.14 million tons] with any excess remaining capacity “at the end of the 20-year period” treated as a “salvage value.”

Jacksonville City Government Tax and Spend Hall of Shame

  • Out of Control County Courthouse Costs
    The original cost of the new county courthouse was supposed to be $190 million, but it soon ballooned up to $400 million before it was finally approved at $350 million by the City Council.
  • Peyton's Three New Fees
    Following the property tax reductions enacted by the Florida legislature, Mayor Peyton and the City Council rolled back needed tax relief by imposing three new costly and regressive fees on Jacksonville taxpayers.
  • Shipyard Debacle
    What do you get when you join a poorly drawn up contract with lax oversight of the downtown riverfront project by the city? $36.5 million spent, no downtown park and riverwalk and a black eye for the JEDC.
