2 . ALLEN PLANT ALUM RESIDUALS REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL BID .
Sludge is produced year-round, and it is imperative that the sludge be processed when the
weather is amenable and stored until disposal. Storage space has since run out and the
Allen Filter Plant needs to dispose of this sludge in a quick, economical and legally
compliant method.
The dewatering process concentrates a naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM),
also known as technologically enhanced radioactive material (TERM) that falls under
State Health Department requirements with EPA guidelines. The disposal site must be
approved by the State Health Department as an allowed site for properly disposing of
residuals resulting from normal sludge removal operations at the Allen Water Filter Plant.
Bids were received, with Allied Waste as the recommended acceptable bidder at
$108,775.00 for one year's production (2,000 yards). CDM reviewed the bids, did a
technical evaluation and concurred that Allied Waste is the lowest, acceptable bidder.
Mr. Habenicht moved;
Mr. Wiggins seconded:
Ayes:
Nays:
Members absent:

To recommend Council approval of the bid
for the Allen Water Filtration Plant residuals
removal and disposal to Allied Waste in the
amount of $108,775 for disposal of
approximately 2,000 cubic yards of
production.
