As you are aware, BFI has made management changes that will greatly enhance the quality of service you have received in the past. The management of this project has been transferred from our Indiana division to our division here in Chicago. Bryan is in charge and I have full confidence that his expertise will prove to be invaluable to this project. Additionally, BFI is currently in the process of securing the additional acreage, over and above the 2,829 acres already available, needed to complete this project. We have had meetings with farmers in the rok Rockford area who are very interested in the use of this material. We were in this process of utiiizng some of the lime sludge this spring, however the roads were posted in the beginning of the vreek we were to have started, basically eliminating the option for spring spreading,This option is, however, very promising for the fall application season. BFI has also inquired about different types of spreaders to be used specifically for the use with your material. This will allow us to be much more efficient and spread more material in the fall. I am aware that you have experienced some concerns since this project was started, but let me assure you that under our management that the third year of this project will proceed smoothly. I trust this letter meets your expectations discussed with Bryan. If you have any questions or require any additional information please feel free to call me at (708)894-9000.

March 20, 1996 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Richard B. Helwig, City Manager SUBJECT: Award of Third Year Lime Residue Land Application Bid PURPOSE This memorandum will provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with information to consider awarding the third year of a bid received in 1994 to Browning-Ferris Industries, Inc. , for the land application of lime residue from the South McLean Boulevard lagoons. BACKGROUND In February, 1994, four bids for the land application of lime softening residue to farm fields were received. This bid was structured to be applicable for three years with Browning-Ferris Industries, Inc. being awarded the contract. (See Attachment A) . The second year of this contract was authorized in February, 1995. Browning-Ferris is still somewhat behind in applying total contractual amounts of lime residue for 1994 and 1995. Howev- er, during the fall of 1995, the company resolved its trans- portation and spreading issues and actually hauled and spread over a year's requirement. Therefore, it is anticipated and supported by the February 7, 1996 letter from Bob F. Pfister that the company should be able to meet the three-year quanti- ty commitment during 1996 (see attached) . There were 15 farm fields that had sludge delivered to them in the fall of 1995 that were not able to be spread due to weather conditions (see Attachment B) . It rained for 11 of 14 days, followed by the early onset of freezing weather conditions. It is proposed that this year's contract be modified to allow Browning-Ferris to remove the material from these fields as soon as conditions permit and transport it to Mallard Lake Landfill, thereby permitting the farmers to plant their fields. Costs for this hauling and dumping fees • Third Year Lime Residue Land Application Bid rft. March 20, 1996 Page 2 will be absorbed by Browning-Ferris . Allowing the farmers to enter their fields, as soon as possible will aid in promoting acceptance of our program by the farming community. Execut- ing the indemnification form absolves the City of any future litigation for placing the lime residue removed from the 15 locations into the Mallard Lake Landfill . COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED None. FINANCIAL IMPACT The Water Fund's 1996 budget under appropriation #401-4002-771 .45-99, "Other Miscellaneous Services, " has $313,000 budgeted for this project. Additionally, $226, 198.01 in unspent funds from 1995 has been carried over to complete this project. LEGAL IMPACT The contract amendment will allow BFI to remove the aforemen- tioned lime sludge to a location not provided for in the (Pk original agreement. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the award for the third year's con- tract be made to Browning-Ferris Industries, Inc. , for the removal and spreading of lime residue from the McLean Boule- vard lagoons in an amount not to exceed $313,000. A further recommendation is that the 1996 contract provide for the removal of the unspread lime residue from the 15 farm fields and for landfilling this material at Mallard Lake Landfill at no additional cost to the City.
