ACTION REQUESTED:
Title
Communication from City Manager and the Director of Public Works with a Request to Approve Final Payment to ILLINOIS CIVIL CONTRACTORS, INC., in the Amount of $17,139.13, for the Cleanup Efforts at 3560 SW ADAMS STREET. (Refer to 14-119) [District 1]
Body
BACKGROUND: The City purchased the property at 3560 SW Adams Street in 2013 in an effort to clean up the Southern Gateway entrance into the city. Staff has been working with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) to address a number of concerns on this property, which had experienced illegal dumping for many years. Public Works and Community Development Staff have coordinated to identify and prioritize the cleanup efforts at the site. Step 1 of the process was to haul all the dumped clean construction debris to the Peoria Landfill, at a rate of $25/ton. It was anticipated that 1200 tons of clean construction debris would need to be removed per the IEPA.
Staff worked with Illinois Civil Contractors, Inc., who donated two pieces of equipment to load the clean construction debris on the south portion of the property, so that the only cost incurred by the City on that step of cleanup was trucking and dumping fees. During the cleanup of the south portion, Waste Management agreed to take the remaining debris on the north portion of the property. Since Illinois Civil Contractors, Inc. had two pieces of equipment on site, staff hired them to finalize the clean-up of the north portion so that the entire site would be clear of clean construction debris and the City could move forward with the process and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency.
