B. Engineering Division Monthly Report
Trustee Stanton inquired when the lights would be turned on off Illinois Blvd. Mr.
Wenderski indicated there are a few technical items ComEd is wrapping up. It may take
two to three weeks.
Trustee Stanton also noted the light posts are very close together. Mr. Wenderski indicated
the posts are spaced a little tighter due to the use of LED bulbs which put out a more
concentrated beam of light. The lights are not expected to affect homeowners but there are
deflectors to keep the light in the right-of-way if this were to occur.
Trustee Pilafas assumed the same for Thacker Street. All of lights are controlled by a single
controller. Will not affect billing but they are metered so Schaumburg

ITEM 4A
REQUEST: Approval of:
a. Amendments and extension of existing contract between the
Village of Hoffman Estates and Groot Industries, Inc. for
Collection of Residential Dwelling Unit Solid Waste; and
b. Amendments and extension of existing contract between the
Village of Hoffman Estates and Groot Industries, Inc. for
Collection of Commercial and Institutional Solid Waste; and
c. Ordinance amending Section 7-9-1, Solid Waste and
Recycling, of the Hoffman Estates Municipal Code.
FROM: Jon Pape, Assistant Village Manager
ITEM TYPE: Contract - Committee
REQUEST SUMMARY
Request approval of amendments and extension of existing contracts between the
Village of Hoffman Estates and Groot Industries, Inc. for a) collection of residential
dwelling unit solid waste; and b) collection of commercial and institutional solid waste;
and c) approval of an ordinance amending Section 7-9-1, Solid Waste and Recycling, of
the Hoffman Estates Municipal Code.
In 2003, the Village entered into an agreement with Groot Industries, Inc. for residential
solid waste and recycling collection services. Since that time, through contract
extensions, the Village has negotiated service enhancements to benefit residents while
keeping rates competitive. In 2008, the Village executed a Commercial Solid Waste
franchise with Groot to extend refuse and recycling collection services to commercial
businesses. Both contracts were most recently extended in 2020 and are set to expire
April 30, 2025.
Earlier this year, the Village began negotiations with Groot on successor contracts for
residential and commercial solid waste and recycling. Through negotiations, staff and
Groot have agreed upon terms of a contract extension for both residential and
commercial waste. Attached are proposals from Groot to extend the current solid waste
collection contracts consistent with the discussion during the FY 2025 Budget
Workshop. The highlights of these proposed contracts are as follows:
Term: The new contracts would take effect on May 1, 2025 and expire April 30, 2031, a
six (6) year term. While previous extensions have been five-year terms, the Village
proposed a six-year extension through 2031, consistent with the term of the Village’s
Page 1 of 4
Page 8 of 84
commitment to transfer its refuse waste at the Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook
County (SWANCC) Glenview Transfer Station. At that time, the Village can make an
educated decision on both its future waste hauling contract and its agreement with
SWANCC with the cost or benefit of each.
Yard Waste: The most significant change to the service for the 2025-2031 term is in
yard waste service. Currently, residents have two options for yard waste disposal with
Groot; purchase yard waste sticker for $3.15 per sticker and affix them to each yard
waste bag for disposal or subscribe for yard waste service on an annual basis for $156
per year.
Under the new proposed program, yard waste would be provided to residents on an
included, unlimited basis and billed directly to the Village on a flat, monthly rate.
Residents will continue to have the option of placing yard waste at the curb in
landscape bags or bundles of brush or limbs as is currently allowed. Additionally,
residents may place yard waste at the curb in an additional, landscape-waste-only
Groot toter for an additional fee of $1 per month to rent the toter. Finally, resident may
use their own rigid plastic container not to exceed 32 gallons in size or 50 pounds in
weight.
As an additional benefit of this program, residents who opt to use either a Groot toter or
their own rigid plastic container may include organic food scraps in their waste to be
composted. This would greatly expand the access to organic composting for the
community.
Groot’s yard waste pickup service will continue to be April 1 through November 30 of
each year. The proposed program would be effective April 1, 2025, one month prior to
the start of the contract term in an effort to maintain the same program for residents in
2025. If approved, the Village will begin to plan for a program to offer buy-back of
stickers from residents as well as an educational campaign to communicate the
relevant changes to service.
Rates: The overall cost to the Village of providing residential waste hauling services is
comprised of multiple charges. The first is the residential collection rate, which Groot
charges the Village on a per household basis. The collection rate charged by Groot to
the Village will increase by 3.5% from the current rate on an annual basis. The next
cost is the disposal rate, which is charged to the Village on a per ton basis by
SWANCC. Additionally, with the changes to the structure of landscape waste, Groot will
now bill the Village directly for landscape pickup services.
As it has in the past, the Village subsidizes the cost of services for Village residents. In
order to continue to make the cost of providing these services sustainable and to
reduce the Village’s subsidy over time, a new residential rate plan is recommended as
part of the approval of this extension. Under the new rate structure, residential rates,
which now include landscaping services, would increase by 5% each year. Additionally,
the senior rate will be increase to reflect a ratio of one-third of that of the standard rate.
Based on projections, this rate structure allows the Village to eliminate its subsidy for
these services by the end of the term of the contract. The rate structure proposal is
included in the proposed ordinance and is as follows:
Page 2 of 4
Page 9 of 84
Resident Rates Charged By Village
5.0% 5.0% 5.0% 5.0% 5.0% 5.0%
5/1/2025 5/1/2026 5/1/2027 5/1/2028 5/1/2029 5/1/2030
Curb $19.95 $20.95 $21.99 $23.09 $24.25 $25.46
Curb, Senior $6.65 $6.98 $7.22 $7.70 $8.08 $8.49
Curb, w/ 3 Toters $20.95 $21.95 $22.99 $24.09 $25.25 $26.46
The cost for commercial refuse service, commercial recycling and roll-off rates will be
increased by 6% from the current rate in the first year. Rates will then adjust annually
on May 1 by 3.5%. Commercial costs are billed directly to customers by Groot for both
collection and disposal.
The majority of the provisions in both contracts remain unchanged, except for those
items listed above and minor housekeeping items highlighted on the attached contracts.
Residents of Hoffman Estates will still receive unlimited curbside solid waste and
recycling collection utilizing either bags or toter (cart) service. The collection days and
holiday schedule remain unchanged.
There are some revisions necessary to the Solid Waste and Recycling section of the
Municipal Code to reflect the new contracts. These revisions are highlighted in the draft
ordinance attached.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
During the 2020 contract extension approval process, it was forecasted that while the
rate charged to residents had been held for over twenty years, an increase to that fee
would likely be needed as part of the 2025 process. As is the case, the Solid Waste
Fund balance has been depleted due to a lack of revenue sources that used to include
rebates for recycled materials and continued expense of the funds to subsidize the
residential rate. The proposed increases to the Village’s residential rate is proposed to
smooth the impact to residents while ensuring that the gap is closed by the conclusion
of the contract term. In order to accomplish this, the General Fund will need to continue
to subsidize the residential rate at a decreasing amount through 2030. The total value
of the subsidy over the term of the contract is projected at approximately $1.3 million.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the benefits to residential and commercial customers by amending and
extending the residential and commercial contracts for solid waste, recycling, and yard
waste services pursuant to the attached agreements with Groot Industries, Inc., staff
recommends approval of both contracts effective May 1, 2025 through April 30, 2031,
and approval of an ordinance amending Section 7-9-1, Solid Waste and Recycling of
the Hoffman Estates Municipal Code.

AGENDA ITEM REPORT
Public Works & Utilities Committee
November 25, 2024
ITEM 4B
REQUEST: Approval of a Memorandum of Understanding with the Illinois
Department of Natural Resources for Spring Creek watershed
floodway construction rules
FROM: Alan Wenderski, Director of Engineering
ITEM TYPE: Agreement - Committee
REQUEST SUMMARY
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) regulates floodway construction in
northeastern Illinois and requires that floodway is defined to preserve both storage and
conveyance. Within Chapter 10 - Subdivision Code, Article 8 Flood Hazard Areas
(Section 10-8-1), the Village requires floodplain storage lost due to construction to be
compensated at a ratio of 1.5 times to one, exceeding the minimum requirements of the
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Given the Village's compensatory storage
requirements, the storage component of the IDNR floodway regulations is redundant,
creating a larger floodway burden on properties.
At the direction of the property owner (property holdings known as Plum Farms),
Manhard Consulting prepared hydraulic information and corresponding exhibit for a
conveyance only floodway mapping request to IDNR. The revised floodway limits are
shown on Exhibit 1 of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The IDNR agreed
with these changes and the MOU memorializes changes to the floodway limits for
regulatory purposes of this property.
To remain in effect, the Village must continue to uphold the requirements within Section
10-8-1 (Flood Hazard Areas) of the municipal code. Also, when FEMA or IDNR
undertake periodic updates of regulatory maps, this MOU will be superseded.
While this MOU is only effective for the property shown in Exhibit 1, the conveyance
only floodway methodology could be requested for other properties within the Village,
on a case by case basis, if the supporting hydraulic reviews are completed and
accepted by the IDNR.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
No financial impact to the Village.
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of a Memorandum of Understanding with the Illinois Department of Natural
Resources for Spring Creek watershed floodway construction rules.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
between the
ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES
and the
VILLAGE OF HOFFMAN ESTATES
ALLOWING STORAGE TO BE ELIMINATED AS A FACTOR IN THE
DELINEATION OF FLOODWAYS AS DEFINED IN
THE DEPARTMENT'S FLOODWAY CONSTRUCTION RULES
This Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) is made between the Illinois
Department of Natural Resources (“Department”) and the Village of Hoffman
Estates (“Village”) under the authority of the "Intergovernmental Cooperation Act," 5
ILCS 220,
WITNESSETH:
Whereas, both the Department and the Village desire to protect the health, safety
and welfare of the citizens of the Village by regulating construction in the
community's floodplains and floodways to prevent the construction of facilities which
would either be subject to flood damage from flooding or would cause or contribute
to increased flooding to other facilities or property; and
Whereas, the Department's rules for floodway construction in northeastern Illinois,
17 Illinois Administrative Code 3708.60(a)-(c), require that the floodway be defined
to preserve both storage and conveyance, as well as limit the increase in velocity;
and
Whereas, the Department's rules for floodway construction in northeastern Illinois,
17 Illinois Administrative Code 3708.60 (e)-(d), also provide for the waiver of the
flood storage component of the floodway definition when local communities agree
to require effective compensatory storage for all storage lost due to construction
and fill in a hydraulically significant reach of the watershed; and
Whereas, the Village has floodplain Ordinances under Chapter 10 – Subdivision
Code, Article 8 FLOOD HAZARD AREAS Section 10-8-1, which meet or exceed the
minimum requirements of both the National Flood Insurance Program and the
Department, and which require that floodplain storage lost due to construction or fill
be compensated on at least a one-to-one ratio; and
Whereas, the Department has determined that the Village has jurisdiction over a
hydraulically significant portion within the upper reach of the Spring Creek floodplain;
and
Whereas, the Department has determined that the execution of this MOU is not
subject to the signature requirements of the "State Finance Act," 30 ILCS 105/9.02.
Page 27 of 84
Now therefore, the Department and the Village agree as follows:
1. For regulatory purposes, the floodway shall be as defined on Exhibit 1,
Spring Creek Conveyance Floodway Map, prepared by Manhard Consulting Ltd.
and dated April 18, 2023, including revised conveyance floodways computed
and drawn without consideration of the floodway storage component.
2. If this MOU is violated or otherwise voided, the Village and the Department agree
to revert to regulating the floodway as defined in accordance with the Department's
rules for floodway construction in northeastern Illinois (17 Illinois Administrative
Code, Part 3708), using the corresponding map sheets from Flood Insurance Rate
Maps computed and drawn with consideration of the floodway storage component,
or such replacement mapping as the Department determines to be appropriate at
the time.
3. If FEMA or Department regulatory maps are updated or revised for Spring
Creek within the Village, subsequent to the effective date of this MOU, then the
revised floodplain and floodway map will become the new standard to be used for
regulatory purposes. At that time, the Village will be given opportunity to revise the
floodway delineations without the storage component, subject to review and
approval by the Department.
4. The Village hereby agrees that it will not grant any variances to the floodplain
storage mitigation requirement of their ordinance to less than 100% of the storage
lost due to fill or construction.
5. The Village hereby agrees that compensatory storage shall be provided at the
same flood frequency elevation band as the storage being removed, including at
least the elevation band between the normal water level and the 10-year flood and
the elevation band between the 10-year flood and the 100-year flood.
6. The Village hereby agrees to assure that compensatory storage areas are
directly connected to the floodplain from which storage is lost at the elevations for
which the compensatory storage area is designed to be effective.

ITEM 4C
REQUEST: Authorization to award contract to H. Linden & Sons Sewer and
Water, Inc. of Plano, IL for the Huntington Boulevard Watermain
Replacement Project in an amount not to exceed $1,211,319
FROM: Alan Wenderski, Director of Engineering
ITEM TYPE: Contract - Committee
REQUEST SUMMARY
The project is located along Huntington Boulevard beginning south of Lakewood
Boulevard and extending north to just south of Mundhank Road, (see attached location
maps). The existing 16-inch water main is located along the east right-of-way line of
Huntington Blvd along the Paul Douglas Forest Preserve property frontage. The project
consists of the replacement of approximately 2,800 feet of existing 16-inch ductile iron
water main pipe with a new 18-inch high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe located in
the Huntington Boulevard right-of-way in proximity to the existing water main. The new
main installation will be completed by horizontal directional drilling with limited open
trenching for connections to the existing main and fire hydrant installations. The section
scheduled for replacement has been subject to numerous breaks in recent years as the
soil conditions in the area have contributed to deterioration of the existing ductile iron
pipe.
Nine (9) bids were received on November 4, 2024; see summary of bids in Table 1
below. The engineer’s estimate was $2,043,535.

ITEM 4D
REQUEST: Authorization to:
a. waive formal bidding (due to state joint purchasing master
contract); and
b. purchase up to 4,080 tons of road salt through the 2024/25 State

Joseph Nebel, Public Works Director
ITEM TYPE: Contract - Committee
REQUEST SUMMARY
In March 2024, the Village Board authorized participation in the Illinois Department of
Transportation (IDOT) 2024/25 joint purchasing program with a commitment to
purchase 3,400 tons of road salt. This contract requires the Village to purchase a
minimum of 80% of this total (2,720 tons), while allowing a maximum purchase of 120%
(4,080 tons), at the set contract price.
In October 2024, the Village received notice from the State that the 2024/25 road salt
contract for Hoffman Estates has been awarded to Morton Salt at a price of $67.84/ton.
The Village currently has approximately 4,700 tons of salt in storage. The average
seasonal salt usage for the Village is 4,200 tons. While forecasts indicate the potential
for more snow and colder temperatures this season compared to last season, the Staff
anticipates the requested quantity will be sufficient. Should there be a need to purchase
in excess of 4,080 tons during the 2024/25 contract, Staff will return to the Committee
requesting authorization to proceed with additional purchases from an alternate source.

terms and conditions set forth herein and have caused this contract to be executed by their duly authorized
representatives on the dates shown on the following CONTRACT SIGNATURES page

State of Illinois IFB
Contract: Title Page
V.24.1
Page 37 of 84

Page 39 of 84
1. DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES AND SERVICES
1.1. GOAL: To establish a Joint Purchase Master Contract (JPMC) for bulk rock salt to be
purchased on a as needed basis during the contract period.
This JPMC may be utilized by all governmental units as defined in Section 5 of this
Contract.
Note: Participation in this contract is based upon the CY24-25 Illinois Department of
Central Management Services Joint Participation Agreement Survey that defines the
BidBuy line items and additional participation in the resultant contract is not allowed.
1.2. SUPPLIES AND/OR SERVICES REQUIRED:
1.2.1. The Vendor will provide rock salt based on quantity ordered within the timeframe
listed herein.
1.2.2. Rock Salt Specification Requirements:
a. Rock Salt shall comply with the requirements of The American
Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO)
SPECIFICATION M143, SODIUM CHLORIDE TYPE 1, GRADE 1.
b. Rock Salt shall be free flowing fresh stock, reclaimed or re-crushed
rock salt will not be accepted and shall be rejected by delivery site.
1.2.3. Quantity Commitments: All participants who complete the annual survey will
have the option to choose between a minimum of 80% or 100% purchase
commitment and will be allowed a maximum of 120% purchase commitment as
defined below. All minimum purchase commitments will be defined in the line
item description within BidBuy.
a. Minimum 80% Commitment: Some participants identified from the
annual survey have chosen a minimum purchase commitment of 80%.
That means that if the participant estimates a quantity of 100 ton, the
participant is only obligated to order 80 ton. That is 80% of the estimated
quantity. The participant shall have no further liability to the Vendor for
further remaining quantities.
b. Minimum 100% Commitment: Some participants identified from the
annual survey have chosen a minimum purchase commitment of 100%.
That means that if the participant estimates a quantity of 100 ton, the
participant is obligated to order 100 ton. That is 100% of the estimated
quantity.
4
State of Illinois IFB
Contract: Description of Supplies and Services
V.24.1
Page 40 of 84
c. Maximum 120% Commitment: The Vendor shall agree to provide up to
120% of the bid quantity estimated tonnage at the same contract price.
That means that all participants who estimate a quantity of 100 ton can
order up to 120 ton at the same contract price.
d. Quantities Exceeding 120% Maximum: In some instances, a participant
may require quantities that would exceed the maximum commitment of
the Vendor; in such instances, any delivery shall be made upon the
mutual agreement of all parties.
e. Purchase Percentages for IDOT: The Illinois Department of
Transportation (IDOT) has provided estimated quantities for individual
locations. Quantities purchased from each Vendor shall be computed on
a District by District basis (not by location). For example, if a Vendor has
2 locations in a District with estimated quantities of 100 and 200 tons
with a minimum 80% commitment. Then the 80% commitment will be
met once the 300(0.8) = 240 tons has been purchased between the two
locations. This may include all 240 tons purchased from one location.
1.2.4. Weights and Measures Requirements and Adjustments:
a. Weights and Measures: All measurements for weight shall be from scales
meeting the requirements of The Weights and Measures Act of the State
of Illinois (225 ILCS 470). The Vendor shall provide accurate weights of
materials delivered to governmental units. These weights shall be
documented on delivery tickets which shall identify the source of the
material, type of material, the date and time the material was loaded, the
release number, the net weight, the tare weight, and the identification of
the transporting vehicle.
The State reserves the right to conduct random, independent vehicle
weight checks for salt deliveries. This will require that trucks occasionally
be directed to a scale near the delivery point.
Should the vehicle weight check result in the net weight of material on
the vehicle to exceed the net weight of material shown on the Vendor’s
delivery ticket by 600 pounds or more, the State will document the
independent vehicle weight check and immediately furnish a copy of the
results to the Vendor. No adjustment in pay quantity will be made.
Should the vehicle weight check result in the net weight of material
shown on the delivery ticket to be less than the net weight of material on
the vehicle by the tolerance of 600 pounds or more, the State will
5
State of Illinois IFB
Contract: Description of Supplies and Services
V.24.1
Page 41 of 84
document the independent vehicle weight check (IWC1), immediately
furnish a copy of the results to the Vendor, and immediately perform a
second independent weight check (IWC2). If the second independent
weight check is within the 600-pound tolerance, then a third independent
weight check (IWC3) will be performed. If the third independent weight
check is within tolerance, no pay adjustments will be made, and random
independent weight checks will resume. If the second or third
independent weight check confirms the net weight of the material shown
on the Vendor’s delivery ticket is less than the net weight of material on
the vehicle by 600 pounds or more, the State will adjust the net weight
shown on the delivery ticket for IWC1 to the checked delivered net
weight as determined by the independent vehicle weight checks.
b. Method of Measurement: The State will also adjust the method of
measurement for IWC2, IWC3 (when applicable) and subsequent truck
loads using the same scale based on the out-of-tolerance independent
weight checks. The net weight of rock salt delivered to the State from
this source, will be adjusted by applying a correction factor “A” as
determined by the following formula:
A = [1.0 – (B - C) / B]; Where A < 1.0 and B – C > 600
Where: A = Adjustment factor
B = Net weight shown on the delivery ticket from Vendor
C = Net weight on the vehicle determined from
independent weight check from IWC1
The adjustment factor will be applied as follows:
Adjusted Net Weight = A x Delivery Ticket Net Weight
The adjustment factor will be imposed until the cause of the deficient
weight is identified and corrected by the Vendor to the satisfaction of
the State. If the cause of the deficient weight is not identified and
corrected within seven calendar days, the State reserves the right to
immediately, and without notice to Vendor, take action to remedy
Vendor failure. This action may include the termination of the order
and purchase of salt from other sources, or other action to ensure ice
control availability for public safety purposes. Note that any or all
additional costs may be collected from the original Vendor, in addition
to the applied weight adjustments.
At the Vendor’s option, the vehicle may be weighed on a second
independent Department of Agriculture certified scale to verify
6
State of Illinois IFB
Contract: Description of Supplies and Services
V.24.1
Page 42 of 84
accuracy of the scale used for the independent weight check. The
freight for this additional weigh will be charged to the party that is
proven to be negligent.
c. Deductions: The State reserves the right to assess, and apply if applicable,
invoice deductions for the following:
Moisture Content: Deductions by percentage for moisture content
based on total weight shall be determined by the following ranges:
Moisture Content (%) Deduction in Price (Per Truckload)
0.00 TO 2.00 NO DEDUCTION
2.01 TO 2.50 10% DEDUCTION
2.51 TO 3.00 15% DEDUCTION
3.01 TO 3.50 20% DEDUCTION
3.51 TO 4.00 25% DEDUCTION
GREATER THAN 4.01 REJECTION OF LOAD
Sodium Chloride (NACL) Content: The State reserves the right to accept
delivery of rock salt which, according to the analysis by The Illinois
Department of Transportation, has a Sodium Chloride (NACL) content
of less than 95.0 percent, but not less than 90.0 percent. When such
reservation is applied, final payment will be made on the following
basis:
1) When NACL content is between 94.0 and 94.9 percent, the
price to be paid shall be the contract price less $5.00 per ton.
2) When NACL content is between 90.0 and 93.9 percent, the
price paid shall be contract price less $10.00 per ton.
3) When the NACL content is less than 90.0 percent, the load will
be rejected.
1.2.5. Ordering
a. Order Placement: Orders may be placed with the Vendor (Monday-
Friday) via telephone, with a written electronic communication (e-mail)
to follow. All State agency orders will contain a purchase order generated
from BidBuy in addition to an electronic communication (e-mail).
Vendors shall arrange for immediate shipment upon receipt of order
from an authorized participating agency representative. All other
governmental units will use their own purchase order system.
7
State of Illinois IFB
Contract: Description of Supplies and Services
V.24.1
Page 43 of 84
b. Order Quantities: Orders shall be scheduled in amounts that make up full
(22-25 tons) truckloads, orders for less than truckload will not be
accepted.
c. Initial Orders: The Illinois Department of Transportation requires Vendors
to ship initial fill-up orders prior to October 31st of the current year. If
this date has passed prior to execution, we ask that the Vendor(s) start
shipping as soon as contract has been executed. Please see the attached
file within BidBuy titled “Initial Orders”. Vendor(s) shall notify each
destination entity when initial shipments are to begin.
d. Seasonal Orders: Non-State agencies reserve the right to purchase up to
50% of the estimated order requirements prior to November 30th of the
current year. Vendor shall notify each delivery point of when shipment
is to begin.
e. Order Timeline: For an order placed prior to 9:00 a.m. on a given day, that
day would be considered as the first calendar day of the seven (7) day
delivery period. For an order placed after 9:00 a.m. on a given day, the
day following would be considered as the first calendar day of the seven
(7) day delivery period, or as amended by order guidelines in Section
1.2.5.f.
f. Order Guidelines: An agency may order up to 20% of their 100%
contracted tonnage in any given week and Vendor shall deliver within 7
working days after receipt of order. Quantities ordered above the 20
percent threshold shall have an extended delivery time of one-working-
day for each one percentage-point above the 20% guideline. For
example, if an agency orders 25% of their awarded total 100 tons,
delivery of the first 20 tons (20%) shall be within 7 working days after
receipt of order and the remaining 5 tons shall be delivered within 12
working days after receipt of the order.
g. Peak Season Orders: After hours and weekend delivery arrangements are
encouraged during severe seasonal weather events to provide Vendor
additional ability to maintain a prompt order delivery schedule. Orders
placed during peak season should be in accordance with projected
requirements and not in excess of the order guidelines, thereby hindering
a Vendor's ability to maintain a prompt order delivery schedule.
h. Post Season Orders: All orders for Rock Salt shall be placed by the end of
July for the previous season’s estimated usage. If the location does not
8

be collected from the original Vendor, in addition to the applied Liquidated
Damages.

AGENDA ITEM REPORT
Public Works & Utilities Committee
November 25, 2024
ITEM 4E
REQUEST: Authorization to:
a. waive formal bidding (due to sole source); and
b. purchase a replacement Flygt submersible pump for the WDA lift
station from Xylem Water Solutions USA, Inc., Mokena, IL in an
amount not to exceed $84,950.50.
FROM: Ryan Christensen, Water & Sewer Superintendent
Joseph Nebel, Public Works Director
ITEM TYPE: Contract - Committee
REQUEST SUMMARY
WDA Lift Station, constructed in 1991 to support development in the Village's western
area and construction of the Sears Corporate Headquarters, houses four 85-
horsepower pumps that transport wastewater through dual force mains. The station
was designed and built to utilize submersible pumps manufactured by Flygt; however,
in 2016/17, two of the original pumps failed. Hancock Engineering was contracted at
that time to evaluate alternate solutions due to the rising cost of Flygt pumps of the
necessary size.
Following review of specifications, quotes were solicited for comparable pumps from
four manufacturers. Due, in part, to favorable pricing, an 85-horsepower pump
manufactured by Grundfos was selected. The first Grundfos pump was installed in 2016
with a second installed in 2017. Initial compatibility issues with existing piping led to
partial adjustments over the next five years. One of the Grundfos pumps has since
been replaced under warranty due to its complete failure, and the other has recently
failed and now requires replacement as well. Currently, the lift station operates with two
original Flygt pumps, the previously replaced Grundfos pump, and an open slot where
the second Grundfos pump was previously installed.
Staff is recommending replacement of the failed Grundfos pump with a Flygt pump that
meets the original OEM specifications. Flygt pumps have been identified by Staff as an
acceptable replacement pump due to consistent reliability and build quality. Therefore,
Staff supports selecting a Flygt pump that is proven and historically reliable over a less
costly pump that is also less dependable. Xylem Water Solutions USA is the sole
provider of Flygt pumps in the Hoffman Estates region.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is $87,750 in the 2024 Water and Sewer Capital Improvements fund for this
project. The proposal presented by Xylem Water Solutions USA, Inc. for the WDA
pump replacement is $84,950.50.
