Agenda enda Item No. City of Elgin g May 8, 1997 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Robert 0. Malm, Interim City Manager SUBJECT: Engineering Services to Increase Capacity of Auxiliary Lagoon at South McLean Boulevard Facility PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with information to consider authorizing an engineering services agreement for raising the berm around the temporary sludge lagoon storage cell at the South McLean Boulevard facility. BACKGROUND 1001,„ Last year the City adopted an ordinance providing for separa- tion between new construction activities and its municipal wells as required by State regulations . As part of review of the ordinance, it became apparent that the current lagoons at the Airlite Street Water Treatment Plant would need to be reconstructed to conform to new IEPA standards. Setback zone requirements prohibit surface holding areas, such as the Airlite lagoons within 200 feet of a water supply well . An exception to these requirements was secured by the City of Elgin as the result of petitioning the Illinois Pollution Control Board to allow reconstruction of the lagoons in the same location. The permission comes conditioned upon the proper liners, leachate collection systems, and groundwater monitoring wells being installed. In preparation for the reconstruction of these two cells at Airlite ( for which bids will be opened on May 12, 1997 ) , the material stored in them has to be relocated. Based on the land application/landfill bids received earlier this year, the cost for landfilling this material through a private contrac- tor was estimated at $495,000 based on the bid price of $66 .25 a ton. To reduce this cost, City crews were used to relocate the material stored in the north cell at Airlite to a tempo- rary cell at the South McLean lagoon site. low South McLean Boulevard Lagoon Facility May 8, 1997 Page 2 To enable the City to continue the removal of the remaining material from the south cell at the McLean facility, the berm will need to be raised around the temporary cell . The pro- posed engineering services agreement is for $11,300 (Exhibit B) . It is estimated that transferring the remaining material from the south Airlite cell, which must be done by a private firm due to its high water content, and enlarging capacity of the temporary lagoon, will cost approximately $150,000. This is nearly $100,000 less than the cost of the City hiring a private contractor to landfill the remaining material at Airlite. A savings of approximately $250,000 has already been realized by using City crews to relocate material from the north cell to the McLean facility. On April 23, 1997 , the City sent requests for proposals to seven local engineering firms . Three proposals were received on May 6 , 1997 (see attached Schedule A for City staff analy- sis and pricing) . A staff selection committee evaluated the three proposals, which resulted in Consoer Townsend Envirodyne Engineers, Inc. , (CTE) and Burns & McDonnell being tied for first. Upon opening the itemized payment schedule, it was determined that CTE also offered the lowest cost proposal at $11, 300 while eft. Burns & McDonnell offered to perform the work for $17,704. Therefore, based upon the selection committee' s evaluation and analysis of the fee, CTE Engineers was selected as the most qualified candidate. COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED None. FINANCIAL IMPACT The $11,300 for engineering services can be funded from account number 401-4002-771 . 30-03, Architectural/Engineering Services . The estimated costs associated with the construc- tion of the temporary lagoon can be funded from the unexpended balance of the 1996 lime sludge removal contract ($142,000) and 1997 budgeted dollars ($8,000) from account number 401-4002-771.45-99 , Miscellaneous Services . A budget adjust- ment will need to be made to reflect the use of 1996 funds in 1997 . , LEGAL IMPACT • None. ALTERNATIVES Landfill with a private hauling firm, which would be more expensive.
