Information
Potentially harmful materials are often stockpiled in basements, garages, closets and other storage areas as they are banned from landfills.
Recognizing the need for environmentally sound management of such waste, the Village Board directed staff to evaluate the feasibility of hosting
household hazardous waste (HHW) collection events for Mount Prospect residents (only).

Currently, there are four (4) Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) hosted permanent household hazardous waste disposal sites in
Illinois: Naperville, City of Chicago-Goose Island, Rockford and the Solid Waste Agency of Lake County (SWALCO)-Gurnee location. Due to
reduced funding, IEPA is no longer hosting any one-day events in northern Illinois. Unfortunately, none of these permanent site locations are
convenient for Mount Prospect residents.
The Village hosted a successful one-day household hazardous collection event on June 30, 2018. Over 1,000 Mount Prospect households
participated in the event, representing approximately ten percent (10%) of the households in the village.
Comments from residents participating in this event focused on the long wait times and the lack of opportunity to participate in the event due to
prior scheduled engagements. Taking these concerns into consideration, staff is proposing to host smaller events (approximately 400 cars each)
multiple times a year (three events).
To improve wait times, staff proposes using an online appointment system (Acuity Scheduling: https://acuityscheduling.com/signup.php) that would
schedule cars in 15 minute intervals. SWALCO hosts a number of events throughout the year utilizing this system with great success. Residents
can schedule their appointment online or call Public Works. Public Works staff can schedule appointments for residents without online access.
Request for Proposals (RFPs)
Staff solicited proposals from eleven (11) environmental companies to provide OSHA/Hazardous (HazMat) trained personnel for the segregation,
packing, disposal and transportation of household hazardous wastes in accordance with IEPA standards/guidelines, as required, to support the
operation of multiple one-day household hazardous waste collection(s) (HHW) in Mount Prospect. A copy of this RFP is enclosed.
The RFP requests proposals for two (2) or three (3), one-day household hazardous waste (HHW) collection events to be hosted on a Saturday
(TBA) between the months of April and October. The number of events will depend on availability of funds.
The events will be held at the Mount Prospect Public Works Facility. Household hazardous wastes will only be collected from Mount Prospect
residents (no commercial/industrial waste). Proof of residency will be required. The following materials will be accepted: corrosives, oxidizers,
flammable solvents, waste solvents, oil based paint, inorganic poisonous solids, organic poisons and pesticides, waste oils, antifreeze, latex paint,
compressed gas cylinders, Pentachlorophenol, Sylvex, 2, 4, 5-T, and hazardous substances, liquids or solids, not otherwise specified.
RFP Results
Four (4) technical proposals were received. Each proposal was evaluated based on the background of the company, related project experience,
proposed services and scope of work, schedule, work effort, and proposal content. Each company received a point ranking (total points = 100) for
each criterion. Table 1 below summarizes this analysis:

The proposals indicated that all participating environmental companies were qualified to perform the specified work. All four companies had
adequate experience and appropriately trained staff to host a successful one-day household hazardous waste collection event. Accordingly, the
evaluation results were closely distributed.
Staff conducted interviews with all four (4) environmental companies to make sure they all have a thorough understanding of the project scope
and Village expectations.
The highest rated company was Tradebe Environmental Services, LLC of Merrillville, Indiana (Tradebe). Tradebe's proposal provided ample
references of successful similar type events. All reference checks indicate the firm performed well. Tradebe has over thirty (30) years’ experience
of collection, treatment, recycling, and disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous waste.
In addition, Tradebe provided logistic, material handling, and disposal services for the Village's first one (1)-day HHW event last year. They
provided ample resources, well-trained staff, and well-organized operations. It is the opinion of staff that the firm is well qualified to provide
requested services.
Each environmental company was asked to submit a two (2) component cost proposal. Table 2 below illustrates component one (1), mobilization
(fixed) costs. Mobilization cost includes costs associated with estimated volume of cars, equipment, supplies, personnel, setup, operations,
transportation, non-hazardous waste disposal (packaging, empty containers from participants, waste from event operations).

Staff recommends awarding the contract in a not to exceed amount of $100,000, which is the amount of funds currently budgeted. The total cost
estimate for the one day HHW event (up to 400 vehicles) is $41,986.44 in disposal/recycling costs. The approximate cost to host two (2) to three
(3) one-day events is $83,972.88 to $125,959.32. Flexibility does exist in the contract allowing staff to make determinations on the size of the
event after the contract is signed. If the first two events see low participation or volumes staff can adjust and host a larger third event.
Conversely, if the first or second event collect larger volumes than expected the third event could be reduced in scope to meet budget demands.
It is staff opinion that Tradebe understands the proposed project, has prepared a thorough proposal based on the extensive experience, and is
well qualified to perform the work.
Alternatives
1. Accept Tradebe Environmental Services, LLC, proposal to host up to three one-day household hazardous waste collection events.
2. Action at discretion of Village Board.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Village Board accept the proposal for Household Hazardous Waste Collection as submitted by Tradebe Environmental
Services, LLC, of Merrillville, Indiana in an amount not to exceed $100,000.
