Agenda Items 1. A Resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an early 5-year renewal of an Agreement with Midland Davis Corporation for Single Stream Curbside Recycling Services beginning September 1, 2016, and ending August 31, 2021. J.D. Schulte, Public Works Director, explained that the current 10-year agreement with Midland Davis Corporation for curbside recycling services will expire on March 30, 2018. Midland Davis Corporation is requesting Council’s consideration to consider an early 5-year renewal since the market value of all materials picked up has dropped significantly from the April 1, 2008, start date of

Committee-of-the-Whole Minutes August 2, 2016 Page 2 current agreement. The new Scott County single stream processing facility opened in July 2016 and Midland Davis Corporation plans to deliver material there for processing and can add aseptic packaging. Midland Davis Corporation proposes a new 5-year agreement beginning on September 1, 2016, per the following fee schedule that includes adding aseptic packaging:

Year Fee Current Contract $2.56 per household per month Year 1, 9/01/2016 – 8/31/2017 $3.39 per household per month Year 2, 9/01/2017 – 8/31/2018 $3.39 per household per month Year 3, 9/01/2018 – 8/31/2019 $3.47 per household per month Year 4, 9/01/2019 – 8/31/2020 $3.54 per household per month Year 5, 9/01/2020 – 8/31/2021 $3.61 per household per month

Midland Davis Corporation proposes that should the market value of materials recover and increase from the start date level, they will reduce the cost based on the value of newspapers. The market based price adjustment will be based on the PPI Yellow Sheet list price for ONP #8 as stated in the high side list for Midwest. When the list price for ONP #8 exceeds the base price of $110 net ton on average for the previous year, the price will be reduced by $0.05 per household per month for every $5.00 net ton average higher price. No motion was made. No action taken.

2. A Resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to accept a Preliminary Engineering Services Agreement with Missman Inc. for Professional Services related to the Sylvan Island Bridge Replacement Project. Scott Hinton, City Engineer , stated that Council approved a $79,450.00 professional services agreement with Missman Inc. in October 2014 to provide Phase 1 Engineering for the Sylvan Island Bridge Replacement Project. The Project Development Report has been submitted to the Illinois Department of Transportation for review which signifies the end of the Phase 1 engineering work. Missman Inc. proposes to provide Phase 2 Engineering which will generate the plans and specifications required to solicit bids for the project. Missman Inc. proposes to provide this service at standard hourly rates for the not-to-exceed price of $95,656.83. Staff has reviewed the proposal and finds the estimated 765 man hours to be reasonable given the scope of the work required. A motion was made by Alderman Parker to approve. Seconded by Alderman Wendt. Motion passed with Zelnio voting Nay.

3. A Resolution for Improvement by Municipality Under the Illinois Highway Code for MFT Section 16- 00265-00-ES, Sylvan Island Bridge Phase 2 Engineering.

A motion was made by Alderman Parker to approve. Seconded by Alderman Schoonmaker. Motion passed with Zelnio voting Nay.

4. A Resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to accept a Preliminary Engineering Services Agreement with Missman Inc. for Professional Services related to the Federal Grant Resurfacing Project.

The City must provide a 20% match to the grant funds which brings the total estimated project cost to $3,555,900.00. Current workloads prevent City staff from performing the required Phase 1 engineering. Missman Inc. is currently performing Phase 1 engineering work on a similar project for another local community.
