ITEM SUMMARY:

As part of the City's water treatment process, rotary hydrated lime is used to purify the raw water through a
softening process. When the lime bonds with targeted minerals (i.e., radium, calcium, magnesium, etc.) sludge is
generated. The sludge is transferred to three exterior holding lagoons until contractually removed. The last such
project was completed in late 2018 for a total project cost of $591,242.55.

For Fiscal Year 2020, within the Water Fund (06-34-48-4210), $700,000.00 has been budgeted for removal and
disposal of waste lime sludge from the City's Water Treatment Plant lagoons (1400 Hawthorne Lane).  All removed
sludge must be disposed of in an EPA approved landfill.

The project was advertised in the Daily Herald on August 4, 2020, and bids were opened on August 25, 2020.
There were six plan holders but only one bid was received.  Heartland Recycling-Aurora CCDD, LLC of Aurora,
Illinois, submitted the only bid of $55.00 per wet ton. This cost represents an increase of $7.75 per wet ton over
the per ton project costs in 2018.

Heartland Recycling-Aurora CCDD, LLC has provided waste lime sludge removal services for the City of West
Chicago in 2008, 2013, and 2018, and performed well.  Heartland's references have been checked with positive
comments received.  Staff recommends approving Heartland Recycling-Aurora CCDD, LLC as the lowest
responsible bidder for the 2020 Water Treatment Plant Waste Lime Sludge Removal Project.

ACTIONS PROPOSED:

Approve Resolution No. 20-R-0047 authorizing the Mayor to execute a contract with Heartland Recycling-Aurora
CCDD, LLC of Aurora, Illinois, for the removal and disposal of waste lime sludge from the City's Water Treatment
Plant lagoons at the unit price of $55.00 per wet ton, for the 2020 Water Treatment Plant Waste Lime Sludge
Removal Project, for a total contract price not to exceed $700,000.00.
