services proposal and 2) a resolution authorizing the execution of an exclusive
commercial solid waste contract for commercial solid waste services in the Village of
Mount Prospect.
Public Works Director Glen Andler provided a summary of the information presented
at the July 15, 2008 Village Board meeting regarding the request for proposals and
contract for commercial solid waste services. Based on staffs recommendation the
Village Board voted against awarding the contract to Allied Waste. (Information

negotiated an agreement with ARC Disposal for commercial solid waste services.

Before moving forward with staff's recommendation to award the commercial solid
waste contract to ARC Disposal, the Village Board must first approve staffs request
to reject the other commercial solid waste service proposals submitted.
Mr. Andler provided the following in response to questions from the Village Board.
· ARC pricing consistent with prices received from RFP's.
· Terms of contract with ARC same as with Allied Waste.
· Commercial solid waste contracts with other haulers would be null and void upon
effective date of ARC contract. 1) corporate contracts would be exempt 2)
businesses would not see an increase if current pricing lower than ARC.
· Commercial waste only - no special, hazardous or medical waste
