Meeting Fiscal Impact (Y/N) Dollar Amount Budget Source Category Type Information November 4, 2025 - REGULAR MEETING OF THE MOUNT PROSPECT VILLAGE BOARD Y $115,354.00 Refuse Disposal Fund CONSENT AGENDA Action Item Potentially harmful materials are often stockpiled in basements, garages, closets, and other storage areas as they require increased attention to dispose of and cannot be part of curbside collection. Recognizing the need for environmentally sound management of such waste, the Village Board supported hosting household hazardous waste collection events for Mount Prospect residents only in the past. The Village hosted fourteen successful appointment only household hazardous collection events from 2019 to 2025 (2 each year). Over 5,800 Mount Prospect households have participated in these hazardous waste collection events. Reauest for Prouosals (111713s) Staff solicited proposals from five environmental companies to provide OSHA/Hazardous (HazMat) trained personnel to support the operation of two, one -day HHW collections in Mount Prospect. The trained personnel provide the segregation, packing, disposal, and transportation of household hazardous wastes (HHW) in accordance with Illinois Environmental Protection Agency standards/guidelines. RFP Results One proposal was received. The sole submittal was from Tradebe Environmental Services, LLC of Merrillville, Indiana. A copy of Tradebe's submittal is attached. Tradebe's proposal provided ample references for successful similar events. All reference checks indicate the firm performed well. Tradebe has over thirty years of experience in the collection, treatment, recycling, and disposal of hazardous and non -hazardous waste. Tradebe has successfully provided logistics, material handling, and disposal for all fourteen of the Village's HHW events held to date. They provided ample resources, well -trained staff, and organized operations. It is the opinion of staff that Tradebe is qualified to provide the requested services. Pursuant to the Request for Proposals, Tradebe's proposal included a cost submittal identifying fixed and variable costs. Fixed Costs include costs associated with the estimated volume of cars, equipment, supplies, personnel, setup, operations, transportation, and non -hazardous waste disposal (packaging, empty containers from participants, waste from event operations). Table 1 illustrates fixed costs for a single, one -day event. Staff has provided fixed costs incurred in 2025 for comparison.

Staff contacted the other RFP recipients to inquire why they did not submit a proposal. Following are summary comments from respondents: • R3 Environmental: Per conversation with Mr. Kolmar, R3 is unable to participate due to a staff shortage, but is hoping to be in better shape next year. • Republic Services (Formerly US Ecology): "We absolutely appreciate the opportunity and, unfortunately, will not be bidding on this service this year. We are working hard to ramp up our services and support these types of activities in Chicagoland and hope to be in a better position for the next contract release". • Veolia: No response. • CleanEarth: "CleanEarth will not be bidding for this HHW RFP." Overall, personnel and resource availability continue to present challenges for many firms in the industry. These challenges appear to have a limited impact on competition. In addition, Republic Services' acquisition of US Ecology has further reduced competition in this market. Combined with Tradebe's proven record of successfully delivering this event at a low cost, these factors likely limited interest from other vendors. Staff finds it unlikely that re -bidding the project would generate greater vendor interest or result in lower prices. Staff proposed two HHW events to be held at the Public Works Facility in 2026. The anticipated cost of two events is $94,934. However, costs will vary depending upon the types and quantities of waste collected. Therefore, staff recommends increasing the contract award to the budgeted amount for this activity ($115,354) to provide a small contingency to accommodate quantity variances. Alternatives 1. Accept Tradebe Environmental Services, LLC, proposal to host household hazardous waste collection events. 2. Action at discretion of the Village Board. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends that the Village Board accept the proposal for the 2026 Household Hazardous Waste Collection Events as submitted by Tradebe Environmental Services, LLC, of Merrillville, Indiana for an amount not to exceed $115,354.

UU � 1 i IUIIIVI � / Tradebe Environmental Services, LLC. 1433 E. 83rd Ave., Ste. 200 Merrillville, IN 46410 C. Tradebe Work Plan Tradebe will furnish all the labor, packing, transportation and disposal needs required by the Village under the requirements and Scope of Work requested in the RFP. Tradebe's trained chemists and lab pack technicians will be present during the HHW collection day to fulfill all of the segregating and packing duties. Tradebe Is Technical Service Specialist will work with the town's designated coordinator to develop final plans for each event. For regulatory purposes, Tradebe will assume generator status for the collected HHW and will be responsible for waste from the time of collection until said waste is properly disposed of at our facility. Tradebe already has the necessary permits and licenses to fulfill this purpose. On the day of the HHW event, Tradebe will secure and remove all material by the end of the day. For each one -day collection event, Tradebe will provide personal to prepare the site, screen residents, unload vehicles, segregate waste, and package all waste to be transported offsite. Staff will arrive one (1) hour before the start of the event in order to begin set up. Tradebe understands that the Village will provide the following services for the HHW collection event: • Security for the site; • Control of traffic; • Screening of participants; • Stand-by fire, medical, and hazmat emergency crews; • Comfort facilities for all on -site workers; • Advertising for the event Below is a diagram that illustrates how Tradebe will typically set up a site for an HHW collection event depending on the geography of the location. Over the years, we have learned this to be the most safe and efficient method in order to serve participants attending the events. The Project Manager along with Village personnel will adapt setup as needed to best serve participants while keeping everyone safe.

Tradebe Environmental Services, LLC. 1433 E. 83rd Ave., Ste. 200 Merrillville, IN 46410 Tradebe will work to safely and efficiently unload the participants' vehicles in a friendly and professional manner. Tradebe's on -site personnel will have a clear understanding of hazardous chemicals and will be able to answer questions from residents. As the vehicle pulls into the unloading lane, the participant will be asked to put their car in the park position and remain in the vehicle. The unloader(s) will inspect the load for any leaking containers or unacceptable material and notify the customer if any are found. If any potentially dangerous items (i.e. explosive, radioactive, and bio hazardous) are discovered, a chemist will be called over to inspect the material and determine the best course of action. The unloader(s) will then carefully remove all acceptable material and place it on a plastic cart. If a waste item is determined to be too heavy or large for the unloading cart, the unloader(s) will request that a drum cart or forklift be used to transport the waste item to the appropriate workstation. The chemist will segregate and help pack waste that is collected. Any lab pack material (items requiring special attention) will be packed by a qualified chemist. Tradebe will ask that the participant identify any unlabeled material found in the vehicle. This information will immediately be written on the container with a permanent marker. If it cannot be identified, the material will be taken to the screening area for analysis. II IIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIII Illilll IIII III Illilll IIIIIII Tradebe will be able to bulk on -site used oils, antifreeze, and flammable liquids into 55-gallon drums. A bulking station will be set up away from the receiving area where cars will be coming through. The bulking stations will be setup on spill pads and will be grounded in order to avoid any static electricity sparks from generating. A spill response kit containing a shovel and Oil -Dry will be on hand in case of any accidental spill. Based on our experience at hundreds of HHW events, bulking of oil -based paint in cans and latex paint in cans is counterproductive and not an efficient use of labor resources due to the non -pourable nature of most oil -based paint and latex paint in cans which are typically brought to HHW events. llli III I II,,,,,,,, del,IIIIIIIIII IIII IIIIIII IIIIIII I III IIIIIII IIIIIII IIIIIiig The collection site will be divided into several areas. A segregation station will be set up with tables covered with plastic. Empty waste containers will be arranged a few feet behind the segregation tables. Tradebe's fully trained field chemist will manage this workstation. Tradebe's chemists will examine the labels of the individual containers to determine the list of chemical constituents and their concentrations. From this information, the chemist will be able to determine the proper hazard class and packaging protocol for the waste item. If the chemist requires additional information, the waste item will be further analyzed through Tradebe's unknown testing procedures. Absorbent materials, such as oil dry, spill pads, and cotton rags will also be present on -site, in case of a spill. Most of the items received at the segregation table will be lab packed or loose packed. All waste material that is unloaded at the segregation table will be placed in UN-rated/DOT approved containers. The field chemists will then pack the waste items according to Tradebe's Lab Pack Guidelines, which are based on DOT and EPA regulations. In some cases, Tradebe's guidelines are more stringent than DOT or EPA's regulations for packaging waste material. Once the drum is closed, the chemists will add the appropriate labels for shipment to Tradebe. These labels and markings include: ❑ Non -Regulated Waste Label ❑ DOT hazard class, as required ❑ Drum inventory sheet, if lab pack drum ❑ Tradebe waste stream number or lab pack number UU � 1 i IUIIIVI � / Tradebe Environmental Services, LLC. 1433 E. 83rd Ave., Ste. 200 Merrillville, IN 46410 All collected materials will be removed from the designated HHW site by the end of the day. Tradebe will assist the Village to identify any unknowns they come across during their waste receiving process. Tradebe's chemists will sample and test the waste materials utilizing Tradebe's Unknown Testing Procedures. From the field analysis, Tradebe's chemists should be able to determine hazard class and proper packaging protocol. The procedures are only completed in the presence of other trained chemists for safety purposes. Chemists will don appropriate safety gear (which may include respirators) while performing the tests. Tradebe's Unknown Testing Procedures aid our qualified field personnel in the verification and subsequent acceptance of unknown materials encountered during on -site operations.

An explosion could occur which could release toxic fumes. 3. Unplanned Release of Hazardous Waste a. The release of flammable liquids or vapors could create a potential fire or explosion hazard. b. The release could contain toxic liquids and/or fumes. c. The release has the potential to contaminant air, soil, or surface water. In the event of an emergency situation requiring the implementation of the Emergency Action Plan, the Emergency Response Coordinator (ERC) assumes the lead role in responding to the emergency and will call the 911 emergency number and implement site control and evacuation, if necessary. This of course includes local police and fire department emergency response personnel. Transportation Spill Guidelines In the event of an on -the road spill or other emergency, the driver will follow these procedures: A. Remain in the unit and warn all pedestrians and motorists to stay away from the spill area. Point out to them the danger involved and have someone call the police or fire department. B. Upon the arrival of the police or fire department, the driver will inform them of what kind of material has been spilled and request the area be blocked off to both pedestrians and vehicles to prevent property damage or any serious personal injury. The driver will request the first responder, fire, or police personnel to protect the area while the driver reports to a facility Emergency Coordinator. C. The Emergency Coordinator will gather the following information from the driver and relay it to the National Response Center and the appropriate State agency. 1. Name of person reporting the incident. 2. Name, address, and identification number of the transporter. 3. Phone number where person reporting can be reached. 4. Date, time, and location of the incident. 5. The extent of injuries, if any. 6. Classification, name, and quantity of hazardous materials, wastes involved, if such information is available. 7. Type of incident and nature of hazardous materials/wastes involved if such information is available. 8. For each waste product involved provide: a. Name and identification number of generator. b. Product shipping, hazardous class and UN or NA number. c. Estimated quantity of material spilled. d. If possible, the extent of contamination to land, water, or air. 9. Shipping name, hazard class, and identification of any other material carried. D. Specific actions to be taken at the scene of the spill are: 1. Containment - the critical problem is to prevent the escape of any spilled liquid or solid into the ground or into a storm or sanitary sewer. A barrier must be erected immediately to prevent the escape of F ork! UU � 1 i IUIIIVI � / T rad e be Environmental Services, L LC . 1433 E. 83rd Ave., Ste. 200 T FAA D E B E Merrillville, IN 46410 spilled materials/waste liquids, using whatever material is at hand, even a dirt curb, to prevent the spread of the spill. Containment of solids will be dependent on wind and weather conditions. Use tarpaulin in the vehicle or plastic (available at most supply stores) if conditions are wet and windy. Simultaneously, the sources of the spill or leak must be located and controlled, e.g., a drum plugged or taped, turned upside down. The possibility of evacuation should be considered in the event of a major spill (e.g., a collision with another vehicle or a loaded trailer that is turned over, with subsequent container(s) rupturing). Major concerns involve ignitable wastes that may catch fire and possibly explode or generate toxic fumes. If fire threatens or occurs, personnel should be evacuated a distance of at least ahalf-mile as recommended by the Emergency Response Guidebook. If no fire threatens, and no container(s) has ruptured, a distance of 50 to 100 ft. should suffice. If the shipping description is known (refer to the manifest) find the name in your Emergency Response Guidebook in the blue pages and turn to the Corresponding Guide Number (orange top page —last 1 /3 of the book). If the shipping description is not known, check the placard on the vehicle for an "UN" or "NA" number, look up the number in the yellow pages and refer to the Corresponding Guide Number, or contact the generator of the waste for safety data. 2. Cleanup - with containment effected and the spillage source controlled, cleanup is the next step. If the spill is contained on an impervious paved surface, material should be absorbed onto a compatible material (e.g., sand, diatomaceous earth). Any of a number of commercial absorbent inert materials may be used, but make sure they are compatible with the waste and will not cause a reaction. If the spillage has reached earth, all contaminated dirt should be collected into drums or bags for disposal at an EPA approved site. If any spilled waste has reached the ground, the contaminated soil will be removed. The extent of contamination will be determined by sampling the spill area. A qualified laboratory will analyze the sample. Sampling techniques, chain -of -custody requirements, and analytical methods will follow approved procedures such as those outlined in SW-846. Any soil exhibiting contamination above the local background level will be removed to an appropriate permitted disposal site. EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT: Each tractor carries the following emergency equipment stored in sturdy aluminum box: • Gloves •Goggles •Slicker Suit • Hazorb (4 pillows) •Shovel •Full -face Respirator •Boots •DOT Emergency response Guidebook •Skin &Eye Neutralization Solution •Emergency Reflective Triangles (3) Each Tractor Also Carries: • First Aid Kit • Flares • Ten (10)-pound ABC Fire Extinguisher UU � 1 i IUIIIVI � / Tradebe Environmental Services, L LC . 1433 E. 83rd Ave., Ste. 200 T FAA D E B E Merrillville, IN 46410 Two steps remain once the immediate emergency aspects of a spill have been taken care of: Decontamination — a truck or trailer exposed to a leak or spill will be decontaminated at the site in order to prevent any further release to the extent that it can be transported (or move under its own power) to an authorized facility capable of further decontamination if necessary. Equipment will be decontaminated in the following manner: Each item used will be placed in an open head container and thoroughly rinsed with a compatible solvent or cleaning compound. The residue or wash water will then be drained into a tight head container, sealed, and disposed of per Federal and State Regulations at an authorized disposal site. Clothing — Contaminated clothing will be placed with the cleanup residue and disposed of per Federal and State Regulations at an authorized disposal site. If clothing is reusable, then it will be decontaminated properly, and the residue managed the same as the spill waste. Notification — The Department of Transportation, Director of Hazardous Materials Registration, Materials and Transportation Bureau, Washington, DC 10590 will be notified, in writing, of the occurrence and nature of the incident and a copy will be submitted to the proper Environmental Management Facility. Site Safety Plans Tradebe will prepare a site -specific Safety Plan. Tradebe will ensure the on -site employees are familiar with the approved Safety Plan. D.

Tradebe neighbors include a commercial gas manufacturer, a railyard, and a vacant aluminum smelting facility. The closest water stream is the Indiana Harbor Canal, which is approximately 2,700 feet west of the facility. The majority of the property is dedicated to serving Tradebe waste management operations. Also located on the facility's property is a rail -line that accommodates up to ten rail cars. EPA Region V and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) originally issued the Part B RCRA permit in 1991. The facility currently has storage capacity for up to 4,508 "55-gallon drum equivalent" containers of hazardous waste. With the issuance of the renewed permit, permitted drum capacity increases to 11,000 drums. Tradebe's operations includes a 165,000-gallon tank farm, a newly redesigned state-of-the-art lab pack/depack facility, a drum consolidation and handling building, and a non- hazardous processing building with 45,327 gallons of bulk treatment capacity. The company's laboratory and receiving area are capable of accepting and analyzing up to 2,000 drums per day. The Part B facility has the capability of receiving up to 30,000 drums per month. Tradebe operates an adjacent 8-acre site as a transfer yard for incoming and outgoing waste, and a potential expansion of the East Chicago operation. In July of 2004,Tradebe added a new capability to its range of services call Solid Distillation system (SDS). The SDS allows Tradebe to process and recycle waste materials on -site. Our Solid Distillation System is self-contained, indirectly -heated, rotating processing chamber that uses an anaerobic atmosphere to remove volatile and semi - volatile organic compounds from solid waste. SDS eliminates oxidation and the formation of hazardous compounds. In addition to the environmentally friendly nature of the process, the SDS system offers many other advantages over typical direct -flame systems. A significant expansion of our SDS processing capabilities was made in 2016 when as second processing unit was added more than doubling our processing capacity. F. Permits and Certifications Tradebe has obtained the necessary permits, licenses, and certificates to legally handle, transport, and dispose of hazardous and non -hazardous waste material.

Payment for Services. Customer agrees to pay for the Services in accordance with the prices stipulated in the awarded bid ("Services Fee"). 3. T_. This Agreement starts on the Effective Date and will continue until completion of the Services, unless sooner terminated for one of the following reasons: (a) by TES if Customer defaults in performing its obligations under this Agreement, (b) by Customer if TES defaults in performing its obligations under this Agreement, (c) by either party if the other party fails to comply with applicable federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, or (d) by either party if the other party becomes insolvent, makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, admits in writing the inability to pay debts as they mature, has a trustee or receiver appointed by any court with respect to its assets, or has an action taken against it under bankruptcy or insolvency law or laws relating to the relief of debtors. A party electing to terminate for any of the foregoing reasons will give notice of termination to the other party. Termination does not extinguish rights under this Agreement. If Customer terminates this Agreement prior to the completion of the Services, Customer will pay TES the Services Fee for Services performed through the date of termination plus reasonable demobilization charges. 4. Standard of Performance. TES represents and warrants that the Services will be performed in a professional and competent manner in accordance with industry standards, using properly qualified and trained employees of TES. 5. Representatives. Each party will designate, in writing, a representative for purposes of communications in connection with the Services and performance of obligations under this Agreement. 6. Confidential Information. Each party will exercise due diligence to ensure that any confidential information it receives from the other party is used only as necessary in connection with performance of obligations under this Agreement and is not disclosed to any third party without the prior written consent of the other party. If (a) a court issues a subpoena or court UU � 1 i IUIIIVI � / T rad e be Environmental Services, L LC . 1433 E. 83rd Ave., Ste. 200 T FAA D E B E Merrillville, IN 46410 order; or (b) if health, human safety, or property is at risk; or (c) if reasonably required to comply with any federal, state, or local law, regulation, or rule or permit; or (d) if required to enforce its rights under this Agreement, then either party may, without violating the terms of this Agreement, disclose confidential information as is reasonably necessary with respect thereto. 7. Services on Site. If and to the extent Services are performed on property owned or controlled by Customer, Customer will provide TES and its employees and subcontractors (if any) a safe working environment for the Services and will disclose to TES and its employees and its subcontractors (if any) all known or suspected hazards associated with the performance of the Services. Customer will also inform its employees, agents and other contractors the presence of TES on the site, the nature of the work to be performed, and ensuring Customer's employees, agents and other contractors do not interfere with the Services. TES will take necessary precautions for the safety of its employees, will comply with applicable provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Act, and will comply with site -specific rules of Customer relating to environmental, health, safety and security that are provided in writing to TES prior to the start of Services. 8. Waste Profile. TES will accept (a) for households, only waste that meets the HHW description issued by Customer to residents eligible to participate in the HHW event(s), or (b) if the RFP scope includes waste from USEPA (40 CFR Part 262) Very Small Quantity Generators (VSQG) or Small Quantity Generators (SQG), waste that meets waste profiles as agreed to between TES and the VSOG or SQG. 9.

If any of the above damages are caused in part by acts or omissions of the Indemnified Parties, the amount of indemnification from TES will be proportional to the degree of comparative fault of the Indemnified Parties, its employees or other contractors. The indemnification obligations of TES under this paragraph are absolutely conditioned upon TES receiving prompt written notice of a claim for indemnification from an Indemnified Party or claimant after an Indemnified Party is served with a claim or becomes aware of an event giving rise to a claim for indemnification. The foregoing indemnity obligations in this paragraph will survive the termination, expiration, or cancellation of the Agreement for a UU � 1 i IUIIIVI � / T rad e be Environmental Services, L LC . 1433 E. 83rd Ave., Ste. 200 T FAA D E B E Merrillville, IN 46410 period of one (1) year.

Waste Materials for Incineration. For waste materials designated for or requiring incineration, TES reserves the right to (a) increase pricing, effective upon notice to Customer, to reflect increases in costs for incineration, or (b) decline acceptance of such materials to the extent TES determines there is no available outlet for incineration. 17.
