Stegall, City Manager City Government Kyla B. Jacobsen, Water Syste Superintendent V4ell SUBJECT: RFP 09 - 045 Lime Residue Removal and Disposal PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with information to award a series of five one-year contracts for the removal and disposal of lime residue from the Water Department's Lime Residue Lagoons. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council approve award of the first year, 2010, of five one-year contracts to Synagro Midwest, Inc., in the amount of$1,228,500. The remaining contracts shall be awarded each year through 2014 as the Water Department's yearly budget is approved. BACKGROUND The Riverside and Airlite Water Treatment Plants produce lime residue as a by-product of the water softening and clarification reactions. This material, consisting mostly of calcium carbonate, is stored at two lagoon sites. The Riverside Plant pumps the lime residue produced to lagoons near South McLean Blvd. and Route 20, and the Airlite Plant has storage lagoons on- site. These lagoons must be kept from reaching full capacity and continued removal and disposal of the lime residue is necessary. In 1999, the City Council awarded a contract to BioGro Division of Wheelabrator Water Technologies for hauling and land applying lime residue. That company was purchased by Synagro Midwest, Inc. in 2000, the original terms and conditions of the five one-year contracts remained in effect. Our current contract is with Synagro Midwest, Inc. and the most recent contract will expire at the end of 2009. The Request for Proposal (RFP) included several options for the disposal of the lime residue. The economics of disposal method was evaluated as part of the RFP and land application is by far the most economical method. The RFP was advertised in the Courier News on July 24, 2009 and on the City's website. On August 6, 2009, the City of Elgin Purchasing Department received three proposals: Synagro Lime Residue Removal and Disposal October 8,2009 Page 3 COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED None FINANCIAL IMPACT The cost of lime residue and removal and disposal for 2010 as submitted by Synagro Midwest, Inc totals $1,228,500.
