Title
153rd Street Bulk Material Storage Facility Spoil Removal - Proposal

History
As you know, for many years the Village has utilized and maintained a Bulk Material Storage Facility located on the south side of 153rd Street between Palos Primary Care and the Metra Station. Spoil material can no longer be placed at this site on a permanent basis. The site’s use is limited as a transfer facility for the temporary depository of spoils from maintenance repairs and various municipal programs. The site provides for the temporary storage of concrete and asphalt before it is hauled away for recycling and reuse, black dirt used by Village staff for restoration purposes, leaves (and dumpsters) generated during the Village’s leaf pickup program, spoil generated from various utility excavations, staging for organic waste dumpsters including sod, tree chippings and branches. The facility is also the staging area for Waste Management dumpsters used for street sweeper debris.

Public Works staff is currently in the process of relocating the Bulk Material Storage Facility to a new location on 108th Avenue. While some material is anticipated to be needed at the new location, the current stockpile still needs to be reduced. At the same time, new spoil is continually being generated.

The Public Works Department requested proposals to remove spoil and materials recently generated that have been temporarily stored at the facility. The spoils will be removed and taken to an approved Clean Construction or Demolition Debris (CCDD) facility. The companies that submitted proposals will be responsible for providing the equipment (loader) to load their own trucks. Neither Public Works personnel nor Public Works equipment will be utilized for the loading of the spoils.

Three proposals received are:
Chief Construction, Inc. of New Lenox, Illinois - $275 per load
Airy’s Inc. of Tinley Park, Illinois - $265 per load
Davis Concrete of Alsip, Illinois - $375per load.
