$12,500.00 |
(per event) |

Dried Sludge Produced |
$275.00 |
(Per Ton) |
|
Waiting Time in excess of 6 days |

Note: This (2015 with 4 optional renewals) bid was based on our conventional filtration process which produced more sludge, requiring two dewatering events per year.
Since conversion to ultrafiltration treatment and elimination of coagulant pre-treatment, our sludge volume has decreased to the point where we now only dewater annually.
Our RFP reflects this change.
**PREVAILING WAGE:
Yes. In Illinois, this work is subject to Prevailing Wage laws.
**DISPOSAL:
The dried sludge is landfill disposed.
The City arranges for disposal and transport.
Payment is based on tons per roll-off box (landfill weight tickets) multiplied by the % dry cake solids (representative samples collected while processing & analyzed by a third-party lab).
See RPF for details.
