Adopt the resolution.
Prior Board Action
In the past, the Village Board has approved funding for this agreement, as recently as fiscal year 2025, and has approved Material Price Agreements for special waste disposals.
Background
The excavated material from repairs made to the water distribution and sewer collection systems are typically hauled by Water and Sewer Division staff to a local transfer station for disposal. Village staff estimate that approximately 3,500 tons of waste will be disposed of in this manner in 2026. These amounts may vary depending on the workload for the 2026 fiscal year.
In mid-October 2025, Village staff requested disposal rates from area refuse disposal companies via the Request for Bids process outlined in the Village's purchasing policy. The Village only received a response from two companies, Waste Management of Illinois and LRS, both of which the Village has worked with in the past. Ultimately, Waste Management of Illinois provided the lowest bid for these materials. Excavated materials have been hauled to the Waste Management Chicago Metro Transfer Station in Stickney for the past several years.
