TO: Mayor Richard C. Irvin
FROM: Michael Houston, Superintendent of Water and Sewer Maintenance
DATE: August 15, 2023
SUBJECT:
A resolution authorizing the Director of Purchasing to adopt unit prices submitted by Rochelle Landfill for the disposal of excavated spoils that cannot be classified as Clean Construction Demolition Debris (CCDD).
PURPOSE:
The purpose for this resolution is to provide a means for the City's Water and Sewer Maintenance Division to dispose of spoils that cannot be disposed of as CCDD material.
BACKGROUND:
35 ILL. Adm. Code 1100 requires testing of soils excavated from sites with a history of activity that may have resulted in soil contamination. This code also requires that spoils excavated from residential sites be tested for pH. Soils that do not meet the requirements for disposal at a CCDD landfill must be disposed of at a facility permitted to accept such contaminated material
DISCUSSION:
On July 16, 2023, the City's Purchasing Division advertised a request for proposals for the disposal of non-CCDD material. On August 2, 2023 the Purchasing Division opened two bids. One from Waste Management of Illinois and another from Rochelle Landfill.
As shown on the attached quote submitted by Rochelle Landfill, the bid price per ton disposal fee for the next 4 months is $17.00 per ton with an increase to $18.00 per ton after December 31, 2023 which is valid until December 31, 2024.
Funding for this expense is provided in the 2023 budget in account 510-4063-511.36-13 within the Water and Sewer Fund that includes $210,000 budgeted. Based on historic activity it is estimated that approximately 5000 tons of non-CCDD spoils will generated over the next 12 months.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
This resolution is needed in order to provide a means for disposing excavated soils that are generated on a daily basis by the City's Water and Sewer Maintenance Division.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Please consider adopting the attached resolution.
