800 Game Farm Road, Yorkville, IL
In accordance with Public Act 101-0640 and Gubernatorial Disaster Proclamation issued by Governor
Pritzker pursuant to the powers vested in the Governor under the Illinois Emergency Management
Agency Act, the United City of Yorkville is encouraging social distancing during the pandemic by
allowing remote attendance for this meeting.

Chairman Matt Marek (via Zoom) Alderman Joe Plocher
Alderman Ken Koch
Absent: Alderman Jason Peterson
Other City Officials
City Administrator Bart Olson Assistant City Administrator Erin Willrett
Engineer Brad Sanderson, EEI Public Works Director Eric Dhuse
Other Guests: None
The meeting was called to order at 6:00pm by Chairman Matt Marek who read the Disaster
Proclamation.
Citizen Comments: None
Previous Meeting Minutes: October 19, 2021
The minutes were approved as presented.
New Business:
1. PW 2021-65 IDOT Traffic Signal Master Agreement
Mr. Dhuse said the Master Agreement has to be re-signed each 10 years and that the state has the power
to stop work on traffic signals if the agreement is not signed. He expressed concerns to the State, but
they did not respond for 8 weeks and did not address the shortcomings, but basically said they would
not pay the city for any work done on signals. He said the city has been maintaining signals to the
state standards and would like reimbursements not yet paid. He said Yorkville is one of the last
municipalities to sign the agreement. He recommended moving this forward to the City Council.

2. PW 2021-66 Special Service Area – Fox Hill & Sunflower Estates – Maintenance Services
This report was compiled by Mr. Dhuse and will coincide with the Finance Director's levy and
budgeting process for the SSA's. Rather than just approving the levy each year, this report will
provide backup information. Mr. Olson stated that requests are received for trees, signs, curbs, etc. for
which there is no money available n these SSA areas. Mr. Dhuse said there is a negative fund balance
now due to large projects in the past such as the naturalization of the ponds. This information will
move forward to the City Council, along with the levy item.
3. PW 2021-67 MFT Supplemental Resolution for Bulk Rock Salt Purchase
Mr. Dhuse said the salt purchase was re-bid in August and was awarded to Compass Mineral at $15.35
more per ton than last year. He was expecting a higher price, but will need the supplemental resolution
to cover the costs. The committee moved this to the Council consent agenda.
4. PW 2021-68 Grande Reserve – Tuscany Tra il - Acceptance
Mr. Sanderson explained this item is up for consideration and is a portion of Unit 23 that was not
accepted this summer. The developer has now completed the punchlist items. The bond will be
decreased if approved and the one-year maintenance agreement will begin. Mr. Olson recommended
moving this forward to the consent agenda which the committee approved.
Old Business: None
Additional Business:
Alderman Koch asked for an update for the Rt. 34/Tuma Rd. street light. Mr. Olson said no
information has been received from the state. Mr. Dhuse added that ComEd looked at it and has moved
the pole. Mr. Koch also asked about the status of the Greenbriar sign. Mr. Dhuse said Plainfield Sign
was contacted regarding refurbishment, but he hopes to repair it this winter in-house.
Mr. Olson reported on the street sweeper that caught fire. The repair bill is $75,000, but the sweeper
value is much less and the insurance settlement is around $30,000. He is leaning toward using the
insurance money minus the salvage value, removing the sweeper to use as a truck and then purchase a
new sweeper at a cost of $200,000-$300,000. As an outsourcing option, Waste Management has
submitted an offer to do the sweeping at a cost of about $15,000 ($140/hour). These options may be
addressed at the December Council meeting. Mr. Dhuse added that the sweeper is used in the spring
and about 10-15 times a year. It is also used for cleaning up after accidents, after community events
and to clean oil from the streets.
Since the leaves have been slow to fall this year, a third pickup of leaves will be done in the upcoming
days, said Mr. Dhuse.
There was no further business and the meeting adjourned at 6:19pm.

December Snow Report
Public Works Committee – December 21, 2021

Short overview of upcoming snow removal season.
Eric Dhuse Public Works
Name Department
Summary
Opening snow report of the 21-22 snow season. This will be an overview of what we have
prepared for the upcoming season.
Background
With the changing of the seasons comes the preparation for snow removal. As we all
know, supply chain issues have caused havoc on the delivery of goods. Unfortunately, we have
had some bad luck in this department as well. Currently, we are going to be down the following
pieces of equipment:
1. New truck that was ordered in March. Although it wasn’t supposed to be delivered until
the end of winter, we are now told it won’t be here until at least July. My estimate is
probably closer to September by the time we have the body built and get it delivered.
2. We have 2 large dump trucks in Indiana awaiting rehabilitation. The trucks were
delivered in the summer with the thought of getting them back in November, in time for
snow removal season. The shortage of stainless steel has made obtaining the boxes for
the dump trucks nearly impossible. Our new estimated delivery time is January.
3. We ordered 4 pickup trucks in November. 2 have small dump bodies and 2 are standard
pickups. We were not allowed to order before this time, and do not have a delivery date
as of now. If this were a normal year, we would have ordered them right after the
passage of the budget and would have had them for the season for sure. These trucks are
replacement trucks, so we will still be able to clear the streets, but the trucks we use will
not be nearly as reliable.
To try and make up some ground for all the missing vehicles, we were given permission
to purchase three (3) slide in salt spreaders for our one ton dump trucks that did not already
have them mounted. By no means does this make up for the loss of the large dump trucks,
but at least its something.
In addition to the new spreaders, we have also had the good fortune to be able to hire 2
street department employees, 1 building maintenance employee and 1 parks employee that
will all assist in snow removal. Most of these employees have limited snow plowing
experience, so they will start out clearing cul de sacs and parking lots until they gain some
seat time and we feel confident in their ability to plow safely.
Our first order of salt for the season has already arrived, we have approximately 750 tons
at the PW facility and 1000 tons in storage at the Kendall County Highway Department. In
addition, we have 1000 tons left that we can order this year. This is great news but getting to

Subject: Snow Report
this point has not been easy. We were supposed to be able to roll our previous years contract
to this year per IDOT rules. I put in our application in March stating that we would like to
exercise the roll over contract. I was notified in mid-August that Cargill was not going to
renew their contracts due to a plant accident. IDOT agreed that Cargill did not have to honor
their contracts, so salt was re-bid at that time. IDOT did not receive any acceptable bids in
September so they bid it out again in October and finally received acceptable bids. Although
it was a relief to have a salt contract, it did cost the city approximately $12,000 when it was
re-bid since the new price was $15.00 higher per ton than our old contract cost.
Our brine maker is back up and running after waiting on a circuit board component for
months. We now have a full supply of 10,000 gallons of brine, 6000 of a brine and calcium
chloride mix, and approximately 2,000 gallons of calcium chloride to mix with the brine. We
will use as much brine as we can this year, but the totals will be down with 2 of the trucks
that use brine are not going to be in service until sometime in January at the earliest.
As a reminder to all, we plow major streets first, then secondary streets, and finally cul de
sacs and parking lots. After all those are completed, we will clear sidewalks and check all
other areas to make sure we have completed everything. We cannot be in all places at once,
we have to clear from the most used to the least used make sure we are providing safe travel
for the greatest number of vehicles. What this means in real life is that if you live on a cul de
sac, dead end, or sparsely traveled street, it could be up to 6 hours after we start that you see
your first snowplow.
We have been very fortunate so far this year and have not had to perform any snow or ice
removal operations. We are as ready as we can be, but I do ask for patience as we are down
vehicles have to rely on older, unreliable equipment again this season. As always, we will do
our best to provide the highest level of service that we can to our residents.
Recommendation
There is no formal recommendation, as this is an informational item.

Leaf Pickup Report 2021
Public Works Committee – December 21, 2021
None
None, informational item
2021 leaf pickup totals
Eric Dhuse Public Works
Name Department
Summary
Below please find a short report detailing leaf pickup for 2021 and ideas to help improve
our ability to provide this service in the future.
Background
The 2021leaf pickup could not have been more different from 2020. Unlike last year,
this year proved to be a challenge in more ways than one. As we all know, the leaves decided
they did not want to fall “on time” this year. I believe our crews came up with a great plan to try
and cover the entire town as many times as we could in our pickup window. We were able to
cover the entire area three (3) times and picked up approximately 1410 cubic yards of leaves.
This total was down from 2020 when we collected 2000 cubic yards. Please keep in mind that
2020 was the “perfect” leaf pick up. The weather was fantastic, and the leaves fell just right to
allow residents to get them to the street for us and they were dry. The combination of all those
factors lead us to one of the smoothest pickups I can recall. This reminds me that we can have a
good plan and execute it well, but it really comes down to mother nature cooperating with us and
in the end we are powerless to control the weather and must deal with it the best we can.
Looking back on this year to see what we did right and what we could improve on staff
has come up with the following:
What we did right
Adapted our plan to provide the most service we could to all residents
Notified residents through Facebook
Used multiple crews utilizing multiple pick up methods
What would help us improve our service
Work with landowner to find a field that we could utilize longer if needed
Utilize all social media to alert residents
Purchase additional leaf vacuum, approximately $110,000
Move parkway tree replacement program to spring*
Move the last brush pickup from the last week of October**
*The parkway tree replacement program usually sees the planting of trees in the second week of
October. This is also the time we need to prep trucks for winter knowing that we will be picking

up leaves all of November. If we move the program to the spring, this will eliminate a big
conflict.
**With our refuse pickup contract offering unlimited yard waste bags and bundled pickup every
week from April – November, I believe that we could reduce the frequency of brush pickups
Instead of the last full week of April, June, August, and October I would propose that we have a
spring pickup during the first week of May and fall pickup during the last week of September.
This would eliminate two pickups, but the residents would still have the option of bagging or
bundling their brush. Moving the final brush pickup to September will give us all of October to
button up projects and prep trucks for snow removal season.

Rt 126 and Ashley Road Improvements
Informational
Status Update
Brad Sanderson Engineering
Name Department
City Council – December 21, 2021
The purpose of this memo is to update the committee as to the status of the improvements.
Per Ordinance 2018-27 (Attached), the developer was to complete the improvements by the end of
November 2021.
Most of the work has been completed, including the intersection improvements at Rt 126 and Ashley
Road and the resurfacing of Ashley Road. The intersection improvements at Ashley and the new school
entrance are delayed due to private utility conflicts. There are also Comed utility poles near the
intersection of Rt 126 and Ashley that remain to be located. Once the private utilities are relocated, the
final work items can be completed. At this point, this work is expected to be completed first thing in the
spring of 2022.
This is informational only at this time.

Solid Waste Recommendation
Public Works Committee – December 21, 2021
Bart Olson Administration
Name Department
Summary
Consideration of two bids for solid waste collection services between May 1, 2022 and
April 30, 2027.
Background
This item was last discussed by the City Council at the September 28th meeting. At that
meeting, the City Council approved an RFP for solid waste collection services and directed staff
to proceed with the RFP. The RFP contained a request for solid waste collection services in the
same scope as the City’s current contract, but with a request for on-demand hazardous household
waste collection. Staff clarified with all interested bidders after the RFP went out that the City
would like a bid for on-demand hazardous waste, but that it would entertain proposals that did
not include this service. Subsequently, two bidders submitted proposals – Waste Management,
which included on-demand hazardous waste collection, and Groot, which did not include on-
demand hazardous waste collection.
The redacted/shortened version of each proposal is attached to this memo. Staff has
reviewed the proposals, including the list of alternatives and deviations, and we think either
proposal can be successfully turned into a contract depending on the City Council’s feedback on
the bids. The Groot proposal contains monthly fees much less than the Waste Management
proposal (by roughly $10 per month per household) and in line with the City’s current monthly
user fees ($18.21 per month per household current compared to ~$18.79 per month per
household proposed). However, as stated above, the Waste Management proposal includes on-
demand hazardous household waste disposal – a service which would be unique among the
region, and one in which Groot does not offer. Current hazardous household waste services are a
mix of one-day events operated throughout the state by the IEPA (roughly 2-4 events per month
statewide) plus four permanent facilities in Naperville, Rockford, Chicago, and Lake County.
Waste Management and Groot both clarified during the RFP window that the on-demand
household hazardous waste collection was a preferred but not mandatory service. Waste
Management also submitted two bid tables – certifying that their price for general solid waste
collection services would be the same price to the residents whether on-demand household
hazardous waste collection is included or not.
Memorandum
To: City Council
From: Bart Olson, City Administrator
CC:
Date: December 16, 2021
Subject: Solid Waste Collection
Recommendation
Staff requests direction from the Committee as to whether we should negotiate with
Groot, which is a cheaper cost and does not provide on-demand hazardous waste collection, or
Waste management, which is a more expensive service but provides on-demand hazardous waste
collection. For ease of use, we have provided the following price/service table showing current
costs and first-year only costs for 65 gallon/96 gallon toter service:
Current Solid Waste Collection
Cost, Per Month Per Household
May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2023 Cost,

Groot, Inc. (“Contractor” or “Proposer”) offers the following items to be incorporated into the resulting
contract and as exceptions to the Request for Yorkville Solid Waste Collection Services (the “RFP”) is-
sued by the United City of Yorkville (the “City”). Contractor’s proposal is subject to and contingent up-
on these exceptions. These items are intended to identify areas of concern and remain negotiable. Along
with the exceptions is some explanation to provide the City with Contractor’s thoughts behind such ex-
ceptions. Contractor’s bid submission is contingent upon and subject to the exceptions and objections
contained herein. Specifically, Contractor objects, and does not agree, to any provision of the RFP to the
extent such would require a penalty, fine, fee or forfeiture of a bond in the event that the parties are una-
ble to agree on, and ultimately enter into a contract, the terms of this RFP after good faith negotiations,
including the objections and exceptions contained herein. We appreciate your consideration and welcome
the opportunity to work with you on reaching agreeable terms. Unless defined herein, capitalized terms
shall have the meanings set forth in the RFP.
(1) Contractor takes a general exception to any requirement of the RFP requiring confidential, propri-
etary or otherwise privileged information, including financials, of the Contractor. Contractor is a
subsidiary of Waste Connections, Inc. (“WCN”). WCN is a publicly traded company whose
shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange. Periodic and annual financial information is re-
ported to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Audited financial information
is provided in WCN’s annual Form 10-K and quarterly Form 10-Q filings with the SEC. Copies
of WCN’s periodic and annual filings are available online at www.sec.gov. Separate financial
statements are not prepared for Contractor. To the extent that the foregoing financial information
does not satisfy the requirements in the RFP, Contractor takes exception to such requirements.
(2) Contractor objects to Section 9.1 of the RFP and requires it be deleted in its entirety and replaced
with the following or other mutually agreeable language (added language underlined):
“To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Proposer shall indemnify, keep and hold harmless the
City and its agents, officers, and employees, against all injuries, deaths, losses, damages, claims,
suits, liabilities, judgments, costs and expenses, which may arise to the extent directly or indirect-
ly from any negligence or from the reckless or willful misconduct of the Proposer, its employees,

D EVIATIONS & EXCEPTIONS
or its subcontractors, and the Proposer, its employees, or its subcontractors, and the Proposer shall
at its own expense, appear, defend and pay all reasonable charges of attorneys and all costs and
other expenses arising therefrom or incurred in connection therewith, and, if any judgment shall
be rendered against the City in any such action, the Proposer shall, at its own expense, satisfy and
discharge the same. This Agreement shall not be construed as requiring the Proposer to indemnify
the City for its own negligence or that of third parties. The Proposer shall indemnify, keep and
save harmless the City only to the extent a loss was caused by the negligent, willful or reckless
acts or omissions of the Proposer, its employees, or its Subcontractors.”
(3) Contractor objects to the phrase “Applicable on a per project basis” in Section 15.1 and requires it
be deleted.
(4) Contractor objects to the phrase “additional insured” in Section 15.6 and requires it be deleted
and replaced with “additional insured to the extent such obligations are assumed hereunder by
Contractor”.
(5) Contractor objects to the last sentence of Section 15.8 and requires it be deleted in its entirety.
(6) Contractor takes exception to Section 19.1 to the extent it would require written consent of the
City Administrator in the event of an assignment or subcontract to a subsidiary or an affiliated
entity of Contractor.
(7) Contractor objects to Section 21.1 and requires a reasonable period of time to cure the alleged
breach or default prior to City exercising its remedies pursuant to the agreement.
(8) Contractor takes exception to Section 53.1 and requires the following concept be incorporated
into the final contract between the parties: Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary: (a)
Contractor shall have no obligation to collect any material which is or contains, or which Con-
tractor reasonably believes to be or contain, radioactive, volatile, corrosive, highly flammable,
explosive, biomedical, infectious, biohazardous, toxic or hazardous material as defined by appli-
cable federal, state or local laws or regulations (“Excluded Waste”); (b) if Contractor finds what
reasonably appears to be discarded Excluded Waste, Contractor shall promptly notify the City

D EVIATIONS & EXCEPTIONS
and the producer of the Excluded Waste, if the producer can be readily identified; and (c)
title to and liability for any Excluded Waste shall remain with the producer of the Exclud-
ed Waste, even if Contractor inadvertently collects or disposes of such Excluded Waste.
(9) In addition to the terms set forth in the RFP, the following concepts need to be incorporated into
the final form of the resulting contract:
a. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary: (a) Contractor shall have no obligation to
collect any material which is or contains, or which Contractor reasonably believes to be or
contain, radioactive, volatile, corrosive, highly flammable, explosive, biomedical, infec-
tious, biohazardous, toxic or hazardous material as defined by applicable federal, state or
local laws or regulations (“Excluded Waste”); (b) if Contractor finds what reasonably ap-
pears to be discarded Excluded Waste, Contractor shall promptly notify the City and the
producer of the Excluded Waste, if the producer can be readily identified; and (c) title to
and liability for any Excluded Waste shall remain with the producer of the Excluded
Waste, even if Contractor inadvertently collects or disposes of such Excluded Waste.
b. The City must comply with any description of and/or procedures with respect to removal
of contaminants or preparation of recyclable materials as reasonably provided by Contrac-
tor. If the City fails to do so, Contractor may decline to collect such materials without be-
ing in breach of the contract. Contractor shall not be responsible for and has not made any
representation regarding the ultimate recycling of such recyclable materials by any third
party facilities.
c. The rights granted to Contractor under the contract shall be exclusive. The City may, in its
sole discretion, enforce the exclusivity provisions of the contract against third-party viola-
tors, taking into account the cost of doing so and other factors. Contractor may inde-
pendently enforce the exclusivity provisions of the contract against third-party violators,
including, but not limited to, seeking injunctive relief and/or damages, and the City shall
use good-faith efforts to cooperate in such enforcement actions brought by Contractor.
The City shall use its best efforts to adopt ordinances, rules or regulations that have the
groot.com
D EVIATIONS & EXCEPTIONS
effect of requiring third parties, including, without limitation, customers, to comply with
the provisions of the contract, including, without limitation, the exclusive service rights
granted to Contractor pursuant to the agreement.
d. Except in the case of Contractor’ negligence or willful misconduct, Contractor shall not be
liable for any damages to pavement, curbing, or other driving surface resulting from the
weight of its trucks and equipment.
e. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent supplied by Contractor, in
the event that a waste container becomes lost, unsightly, unsanitary, broken, or unservice-
able because of the acts or omissions of the City (excluding normal wear and tear), the
City will be charged for the resulting repairs or replacement and such amounts will be
paid to Contractor upon demand.
f. Any equipment furnished hereunder by Contractor shall remain the property of Contrac-
tor; however, the customers and the City (as applicable) shall have care, custody and con-
trol of the equipment while at the service locations. Customers and the City shall not over-
load (by weight or volume), move or alter the equipment, and shall use the equipment on-
ly for its proper and intended purpose. Customers and the City must provide unobstructed
access to the equipment on the scheduled collection day. The word “equipment” as used
herein shall mean all containers used for the storage of non-hazardous solid waste.
g. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Contractor may pass through and the
City shall pay to Contractor any documented increases in and newly imposed taxes, fees
or other governmental charges assessed against or passed through to Contractor (other
than income or real property taxes).
h. Except for the payment of amounts owed hereunder, neither party hereto shall be liable
for its failure to perform or delay in its performance hereunder due to contingencies be-
yond its reasonable control including, but not limited to, strikes, riots, compliance with
laws or governmental orders, inability to access a container, fires, inclement weather and
acts of God, and such failure shall not constitute a breach under the contract.

Dear Mr. Bart Olson:
Waste Management of Illinois, Inc. appreciates the opportunity to
participate in this important procurement process and is pleased to
present the following response to the United City of Yorkville’s request
for proposal. This letter will clarify the attached response to the above
referenced bid document.
Over the years, Waste Management has worked in close partnership with the City to develop a strong
foundation of services that provide world-class service for your residents. The Yorkville-Waste
Management partnership has stood the test of time. There is no substitute for a partner that you can
count on, no matter what happens. We are heavily involved in your community and sponsorships from the
Chamber of Commerce to the Neighborhood Summit and District Cleanup Efforts.
Our innovative services bring the City significant value that will reduce our presence in your
neighborhood while providing exceptional service. We have and will continue to work together as
partners for the betterment of the City’s communities.
Our commitments to being a “People First” organization and achieving “Success with Integrity” mean
striving for results in all that we do. We hold ourselves and others to higher standards of accountability,
honesty, ethics, and compliance. Our people are committed to doing the right thing, the right w ay, every
day. They place our core values of safety, customers, environment, and inclusion and diversity first in all
they do. We believe our employees are our greatest asset, and if we take care of them, they will take care
of our customers, communities, shareholders, environment, and each other.
These commitments and values are the foundation for the many differentiators that set us apart from our

Commitment to Near-Zero Emissions: Since the early 1990s, Waste Management has

For every diesel truck we replace with natural gas we reduce our use of diesel fuel by an
average of 8,000 gallons per year along with a reduction of 14 metric tons of GHG
emissions per year - the equivalent of a 15 percent emissions reduction per truck. Waste
Management’s fleet now includes 10,388 natural gas trucks, the largest heavy-duty
natural gas truck fleet of its kind in North America.

process and safeguard the viability of the City’s recycling program.

13 | OPERATIONAL APPROACH
A Seamless Implementation with a Trusted Partner
Brand Protection
Yorkville’s brand is a valued asset, and protecting that value is imperative. Cities with such an investment
seek partners that are committed to providing authentic levels of environmental indemnification, the
highest compliance and ethical standards, strong safety practices, and the respect of relevant regulatory
agencies. As the nation’s leading environmental services company, these very traits are the cornerstone
of our brand. We stake our brand on protecting yours.
Our service history gives us the advantage of experience and perspective, quantifiable advantages for
making solid recommendations for the City.
Continuity of Service
Waste Management will continue to provide collection services for the City of Yorkville on Monday,
Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday with no route changes. This will provide continuity of service and avoid
any confusion and disruption for residents. In the event there is a need to change the collection day, or a
collection day is added, Waste Management will notify the City at least 30 days prior to the
implementation of the change. Waste Management will also notify residents prior to the change. The new
contract allows for a five-year term with a one year extension.
Critical Yorkville Collection Equipment/Resources in Place Today
Key to all successful new contract implementations is having the most basic collection equipment and
resources in place, tested, and proven. We understand one of Yorkville’s top priorities is for their
collection partner to deliver the base collection services - confirming customers have containers to put
materials into and that materials are collected on time and in a professional and safe manner.
All of Waste Management’s Yorkville collection equipment and resources are already in place, eliminating
any opportunity for customer disruption associated with a new contract implementation.

Local, Regional, and National Resources for Yorkville
With Waste Management as your partner, Yorkville will receive more than simple collection services. You
will have an ally with unmatched resources that give you peace of mind that your waste, recycling, and
landscape waste materials will be collected, transferred, processed, and disposed of, even during
emergency and natural disaster situations. Collections will be managed using proven best practices in full
compliance with all local, state, and federal regulations.
Local support: Within a two-hour drive, there are seven other Waste Management hauling sites. This
means that if there is a need, we can redeploy equipment and people to the United City of Yorkville the
same day. While we always strive to have our fleet on the road and not in the shop, garbage trucks are
complicated pieces of machinery, and they
occasionally break down. Having the ability to
share resources within a small geographic area
allows us to keep rates low and service your
residents without interruption.
Regional support: Our regional operations
include hauling districts, transfer, and post
collection facilities throughout Illinois, Missouri,
Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas. This allows our team to
respond to regional events with seamless
support. Needed containers, trucks, drivers, and
managers can be requested from our area to
support unusual events if ever needed. These
resources can be deployed the same day.
National support: As the leading waste provider
in North America, Waste Management can get
the best rates and availability from our truck,
container, and office equipment vendors. In the event of an emergency or natural disaster, we can pull
additional resources from our hauling districts throughout the nation.
Your WM Team would bring their local residents knowledge and experience to continue to serve
as the service providers of the equipment and resources for the United City of Yorkville.

PROPOSAL
The following is a qualified proposal from Waste Management in response to the City of Yorkville’s RFP.
Refuse Collection
Residents have the option of a 96, 64, or 35-gallon refuse cart with limited refuse
collection service. A 64-gallon cart is the default cart size. Additional refuse may be
placed in bags/containers with handles not exceeding 32-gallons in size and 50 lbs. in
weight. A sticker is required for each additional bag/container to be serviced.
Bulk Item Collection
One bulk item is included in weekly service, no sticker required. Bulk items must weigh less than 50
pounds and be reasonably managed by one person. Additional bulk items require one (1) sticker to be
serviced. Collection of bulk items weighing more than 50 pounds must be prescheduled by calling Waste
Management Customer Service at 800-964-8988.
White Goods Collection
Waste Management will collect white goods (appliances) at the curb. White goods collection must be
prescheduled and prepaid ($40.00 per item) by calling Waste Management Customer Service at 800-964-
8988.
Recycle Collection
Waste Management will provide unlimited recycle service. Residents have the
option of a 96, 64, or 35-gallon recycle cart with unlimited recycle collection
service. A 64-gallon cart is the default cart size. Additional recycle material may
be placed in containers with handles not exceeding 32-gallons in size and 50 lbs.
in weight. Additional containers must be clearly labeled “RECYCLE”. Residents
may rent an additional recycle cart from Waste Management for $3.50/month.
Acceptable Recyclable Materials
As a society, we understand that recycling is important, but for recycling to make an impact, we have to
recycle right. Today’s most successful and sustainable recycling programs emphasize the value of the
acceptable materials. We must ask ourselves, does this material have a viable market? If the answer is
yes, we must also confirm the material we are recycling is properly prepared, clean, and free from
contamination.
Our list of acceptable materials is reflective of today’s market realities and includes only materials that
meet industry quality standards and have viable market demands. However, due to the length of our
Agreement with the City of Yorkville, it is important to allow for the possibility that this list may need to be
adjusted at some point. Contract language must support our collective need to make changes to
acceptable materials to respond to global market demands, as well as protect the quality of materials we
process and safeguard the viability of the City’s recycling program.

Recycle Right Curbside Recycle Education
The US national average for recycle contamination is 25% or one in every four items placed in a recycle
cart is a contaminant. The best way to combat the contamination issue and the rising cost of recycling is
effective and consistent resident education and enforcement. In partnership with the City of Yorkville, we
would like to introduce Waste Management’s highly successful Recycle Right curbside recycle education
program. Recycle Right is a simple, back to basics education program that has been highly successful in
changing resident behavior.
Recycle Right has three simple rules:
We must work together to continually educate residents on how to recycle right and how they can do their
part to safeguard the viability of the City of Yorkville’s recycling program.
United City of Yorkville
RFP-21-01110-010-1-2021/KG - Yorkville Solid Waste Collection Services
37
How will the curbside education program work?
Waste Management will tag recycle carts that are contaminated (not acceptable for collection). The driver
will identify the contamination on the tag. The resident is asked to remove the contamination from the
recycle cart so it can be serviced on the next scheduled service day. There will be a two-week education
period when contaminated carts will be tagged and serviced. After two weeks contaminated carts will be
tagged and not serviced. The material will be collected on the next scheduled service day if the resident
removes the contamination. An example of the Recycle Right recycling tag is shown below.
A baseline audit of the City of Yorkville’s recyclable materials will be completed before the rollout of the
Recycle Right curbside recycling education program. A second audit will be completed after one year to
measure the progress and then work with the City to develop the next phase of the outreach plan.
As part of Waste Management of Illinois, Inc.’s commitment to recycling and our customers, we built a
new, state of the art recycling material recovery facility in Hodgkins, IL. The new facility is more
mechanized, designed to improve commodity recovery and increase the recycling capacity in the
Chicagoland market while providing flexibility to meet material markets demands for cleaner feedstock.
Yard Waste Collection
Waste Management will provide unlimited yard waste service. Yard waste may be placed in brown paper
yard waste bags, containers with handles, and/or bundles from April through the first full week of
December. Bags and containers may not exceed 32-gallons in size and 50 lbs. in weight. Containers
must be clearly labeled “YARD WASTE”. Bundles must be securely tied and not exceed four feet in
length and two feet in diameter. Individual branches may not exceed two inches in diameter.
Note: Landscape waste does not include dirt, sand, rocks, concrete, sod, tree stumps, and similar
materials.

materials collected were recycled.

VALUE ADD SERVICES
Bagster and Roll Off Container Bagster Service
Bagster
Waste Management’s Bagster is a great solution when
residents have collection needs that exceed their weekly
construction and demolition debris curbside collection.
Bagster is ideal for small home improvement construction
projects. With this easy-to-use solution, residents simply
purchase a Bagster bag at a local home improvement store,
fill it, and schedule their collection online or by phone. Visit
thebagster.com for more information.
Roll Off Container
Waste Management offers roll off container service for large
home improvement projects. Roll off containers are
available in 10, 20 and 30 cubic yard sizes each at different
rates. Residents may call Waste Management Customer

container.
Waste Watch
Collaborating with Local Law Enforcement to Keep Neighborhoods Safe
Serving the same neighborhoods each week allows Waste
Management drivers to become familiar with their routes while
providing exceptional customer service. Likewise, this level of
familiarity enables drivers to identify when a situation does not
feel right. From an abandoned car to a door left open, our
drivers are in a unique position to act as an extra set of eyes
and ears on the street. Our Waste Watch program leverages
this advantage by formally teaching Waste Management drivers
how to observe and report suspicious activity or an emergency situation to law enforcement.
Waste Watch-certified drivers participate in a formal training program administered in collaboration with
local public safety and law enforcement officers. Training includes what to look for, how to react, and how
to report incidents. Drivers are reminded they should not approach or attempt to resolve a suspicious
situation, but they are encouraged to call law enforcement if a situation does not look or feel right.
In addition to local agencies, Waste Management partners with National safety-related organizations and
programs, including:
• AMBER Alert
• National Center for Missing and Exploited Children
• Community Crime Stoppers
• U.S. Department of Homeland Security
43
Urgent messages, such as AMBER Alerts, can be communicated to drivers via our onboard computing
system. This allows for instant and geo-targeted communication in case of an emergency.
Natural Disaster Assistance
Whether necessary due to a natural disaster, extreme weather, or other unforeseen events, Waste
Management is always prepared to provide additional support to communities requiring urgent solid
waste collection assistance.
During extreme weather or natural disasters, some communities are also faced with massive volumes of
debris. In such cases, excess supplies of collection equipment including spare vehicles and roll off
containers can be quickly accessed, often within hours.
Waste Management has the resources, equipment, and personnel to help with the clean -up. In addition to
local resources, our emergency response management team can quickly compile licensed, experienced
collection drivers, machinery operators, and management staff that are prepared to temporarily relocate
and assist within an impacted region. Furthermore, many of our route and district managers hold
commercial driver licenses (CDLs) and can perform collection functions as needed.
In the event of a manmade or natural disaster including events such as tornado s, floods, etc., Waste
Management will work with the City of Yorkville to arrange for special collections to assist with cleanup
efforts.
We were there to help the residents in Washington,
Illinois in 2013 when this community was devastated
by an EF-4 tornado. Within 90 seconds, 650 homes
were destroyed and nearly 1,000 were severely
damaged. Waste Management assisted the City in
damage assessment and provided, at the City’s
request, 24-hour operation of our East Peoria Transfer
Station as a destination for all collected debris in the
initial phase of the cleanup. As the City realized that
they faced a 60,000 cubic yard debris field, Waste
Management assumed total responsibility for
consolidation of the debris at the curb line, loading the
consolidated debris into Waste Management supplied transfer trailers, transportation to the Peoria
City/County Landfill #2, a Waste Management facility, and disposal of all the landfilled debris. We also
supplied operators and grapples for the effort, as well as front end loaders, semi dump trailers, and
transfer trailers and drivers. Waste Management’s portion of the debris removal was accomplished in less
than four weeks.
In all, Waste Management received more than 25,000 tons of tornado debris, with more than 16,000 tons
from Waste Management staged and directed collection and cleanup activities. We have also provid ed
similar services to the communities of Coal City and Fairdale. We pledge the same level of commitment to
the City of Yorkville.
Indemnification
A thorough examination of any indemnification offering requires two elements to truly protect the interests
of the residents of Yorkville. The first element is the integrity of the final disposal site and its compliance
with environmental regulations to protect its customers. The second element is the assets brought to the
offering by the indemnification provider.
United City of Yorkville

Our environment is one of the most important issues we face today. Environmental responsibility is an
integral part of our business and making that philosophy a reality is the essence of everything we do at
Waste Management. Our goal is to help municipalities successfully address the complex environmental
issues facing their community. Our capabilities ensure that Waste Management can help our customers
meet the highest environmental standards and protect themselves at the same time. Our indemnification
offer simply has no equal in our industry.
Waste Management internalizes the management of the City of Yorkville’s waste at its landfill and
processing facilities. This internalization allows us to provide the city with indemnification of their waste.
This assurance of indemnification provides the City with peace of mind that their waste is managed
according to and often exceeding local, state, and federal regulations.
CUSTOMER SERVICE
Billing
Waste Management will bill the City monthly for all serviced units within the respective municipality. The
City will provide Waste Management with the number of occupied units within the municipality on a

regions in the event of an emergency (e.g., power outage, natural disaster, etc.). All agents have access
to our Knowledgebase Management Tool, “Green Pages,” and can assist Yorkville residents at all times
with community-specific information.
Complaint Procedure
Service issues are managed through a ticket system. Each ticket is created in an open status and
requires closure upon completion of requested action and/or resolution. Local management and their
teams are responsible for providing requested service and/or issue resolution and to monitor the status of
all tickets for timely service completion.
• If an issue requires immediate attention and/or escalation, an email is also sent to the attention of
the operations management team.
• If a repeat issue occurs within two months, a ticket is also opened to alert the operations
management team that a recurring problem exists. Waste Management has developed a quality
control program that includes performance standards for ticket creation, closure, tracking, and
service recovery. Local management is responsible and accountable for these performance
standards.
Waste Management will provide the City with the following customer service reports that summarize
service issue.

SAFETY – A CORE VALUE FOR WASTE MANAGEMENT
As you know, with WM as your provider – safety will remain
a #1 priority for all of our operations in and around Yorkville.
As a reminder - historically, waste collection, processing
and disposal have ranked among the most dangerous
occupations in North America – in fact, the U.S. federal
government ranks trash and recycling collection among the
top 10 most dangerous jobs in the country.
Our employees who collect waste spend much of their
workday in traffic, lifting heavy items, operating large
vehicles and heavy machinery - all of which can lead to
injuries. It is our duty to take every sensible step to prevent
injuries in the workplace and return our employees home
safely every night. Likewise, Yorkville depends on us to
safely collect, process, and dispose of their wastes while
being mindful of our actions to protect the environment that
we share.
Therefore, safety is not just a priority for Waste
Management, because priorities often change, safety is a
core value for our company. We understand the magnitude
of the responsibility we have and strive to confirm that each
task, piece of equipment, and company policy and
procedure reinforces safe actions and behaviors.
Overall injury rates in our industry have improved
substantially in recent years and Waste Management’s
performance in this area has ranked among the best. We
actively work with our trade association, the National Waste
& Recycling Association, to advance safety within our
industry and among our customer base.
You do not need to search long to see how we fulfill our
commitment to safety – it is woven into everything we do –
from hiring practices to training to advancing safety
technologies to preventive maintenance.
Our Mission to Zero™
Our internal safety philosophy that we call Mission to Zero™ (or M2Z) means zero
tolerance for unsafe behaviors by all employees, with a goal of zero accidents and
injuries. All operational employees benefit from the program’s safety training,
rulebooks, fleet processes, and standard practices. Over the years, the M2Z
approach has resulted in programs that have improved safety performance,
including worker injury rates, vehicle collision prevention, and safety leadership development. The
program, which ranks among the most far-reaching and comprehensive worker safety plans in our
industry, involves classroom instruction, route observation, monitoring of safety data, and driver training.
Since its adoption, we have seen significant improvements in on-the-job safety.
Elevating Our Safety Performance – From
Compliance to Commitment
WM is committed to continuous improvement to
help our team members protect our
communities and return home safely every day.
Following are just some of the commitments we
make to elevate our safety performance.
• Taking an inclusive, People First approach
with a comprehensive assessment to
review our safety processes, policies, and
performance. Driving continuous
improvement requires fresh perspectives.
Answers to some of our toughest
challenges reside with our people, so we
are seeking open and honest feedback to
elevate our safety culture.
• Conducting surveys with our employees to
gain valuable insights to help us drive
change going forward, ultimately taking our
safety program to the next level.
• Working toward a world-class culture where
every team member understands the
importance of safety as a core value and
models safe behaviors in all that we do.

Advancing Safety Technology for Yorkville
Our great strides in safety performances reflect an ongoing strategy to leverage technology in our safety
processes. In recent years, our Service Delivery Optimization (SDO) program has significantly improved
collection and maintenance operations by optimizing our systems through technology that includes
onboard computers, routing software and cameras.
DriveCam®: Intelligent Dashcam Technology for Safer Collection
DriveCam®, one of the safety innovations onboard our
trucks, goes beyond traditional dashcams by pairing
machine vision with artificial intelligence to identify risks as
they occur on the road and respond to the driver with real-
time coaching.
DriveCam is mounted on the windshield of the interior cab
with cab-facing and road-facing cameras. When an unsafe
condition is detected, such as critical following distance,
lane departure, or imminent collision, the device visually and
audibly alerts our drivers, providing an opportunity for self-
correction.
Additionally, if an event is detected, video data is sent to Waste
Management route managers for followup performance coaching with
the driver. Recorded events also help us appreciate the many times that
our drivers avoid collisions through using proper defensive driving
techniques. We believe our investment in DriveCam has contributed to
reducing our reported vehicle accidents by almost 80 percent since
2005.
DriveCam’s latest technology is currently being installed in Waste Management trucks with a full ro llout
expected by summer 2021.
Extra Eyes on Your Roads
Waste Management drivers can
manually trigger recording of
video on the DriveCam in the
event they witness an emergency
situation or suspicious activity.

Safety: A Commitment to Our Customers and Our Employees
There may be no other consideration as important as safety when selecting a service provider for your
home, your place of work, or your community. Without a doubt, safety matters. It is no surprise that after a
tragedy most will say that as long as their family is healthy and safe, nothing else matters - material items
can always be replaced.
At Waste Management, we all recognize safety as a core value - from our local District Manager to the
drivers, mechanics and staff who represent each district. With a constant focus on and meaningful
investments in training, technologies, maintenance and continuous improvement, we will deliver safe and

reliable collection services that protect the customers we serve, the people we employ and the
environment we share.
CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) Trucks: Cleaner, Quieter, and Cost-Effective
Waste Management is proudly transitioning its fleet of trucks to Compressed Natural Gas or CNG. CNG is
a fuel used in place of gasoline or diesel that when combusted produces fewer undesirable gases than
gasoline or diesel, resulting in improved air quality emissions.
In fact, CNG trucks emit nearly zero particulate emissions, reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by
15 percent, and cut smog-producing NOx emissions by 50 percent compared to the cleanest diesel
trucks. In another effort to improve air quality, the engines automatically turn off after five minutes of idling
to further reduce emissions and conserve fuel. CNG engines run much quieter than diesel trucks – many
customers have commented that they cannot even hear our quieter CNG trucks coming down the street.
While our “last generation” natural gas engine cuts smog-producing nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions by up
to 50 percent compared to the cleanest diesels, o ur 2017 near-zero-emission natural gas engine (ISL-G
“NZ”) is the cleanest heavy -duty machine ever certified by the California Air Resources Board (CARB).
Waste Management helped pioneer this engine with Cummins, and it now provides a 95 percent
reduction in NOx emissions compared to the current NOx standard and a 93 percent reduction in NOx
compared to the latest diesel engine technology. Additionally, the new engine is already certified at 16
percent below the current GHG emission standard and is 12 perce nt below the 2027 standard.
Driving Fewer Miles
Efficient logistics are also an effective way to reduce fleet emissions. The logic is simple: a more efficient
route means fewer miles traveled, and that translates into reduced fuel consumption and associated
emissions. Since 2017, Waste Management’s fleet has reduced miles driven by 2 percent, which equates
to an approximate 8.9 million fewer miles a year. Optimizing routes not only reduces our environmental
impact, but also increases the quality of service. As we have driven fewer miles, we have improved the
number of stops missed for both commercial and residential customers.

Well No. 4 Rehabilitation – Bid Award
Public Works Committee – December 21, 2021
Majority
Consideration of Award
Consideration of Award
Brad Sanderson Engineering
Name Department

As a reminder, the water levels in the City’s groundwater supply aquifers continues to decline.
The water level in Well 4 has declined to within 50-feet of the pumping assembly and is trending
towards a point where the pump could be pumping air in the near future, which could lead to
catastrophic failure of the pumping equipment. Therefore, it is important to lower the pump
setting as soon as possible. This provides an opportune time to also rehabilitate/replace
components of the well equipment.
Bids were received, opened and tabulated for work to be done for Water Well No. 4
Rehabilitation at 10:00 a.m., December 7, 2021. Representatives of contractors bidding the
project, the City, and our firm were in attendance. A tabulation of the bids and the engineer’s
estimate is attached for your information and record.
The Bid Schedule consists of a Base Bid Schedule for items that are certain to be required for the
project and a Mandatory Alternate Bid Schedule for items that may be required. The pump and
motor must be removed from the well and the equipment inspected before a determination can be
made regarding the necessity of the Mandatory Alternate Bid Items. Obtaining pricing for these
items during the bid promotes competitive pricing from the contractors and helps protect the City
against cost escalations during the project. Furthermore, there are some Mandatory Alternate Bid
Items that are more likely to be utilized than others, depending on known conditions at the
current time, and careful consideration of these items is essential in determining the potential
total cost of the project.
The project was advertised in the newspaper (The Beacon) and online (Quest.com); EEI also
notified three (3) local well contractors, Municipal Well & Pump, Water Well Solutions (WWS),
and Layne Christensen Company (Layne), of the project. On December 7, 2021, the City
received a bid proposal from Layne and a letter from WWS explaining their reasons for not
submitting a bid proposal for this project. WWS's letter documents their unsuccessful attempts to
obtain pricing from Layne for Byron Jackson/Flowserve pump and motor (well equipment);
attached is a copy of the letter for your information and record.
Ultimately, it is Layne's decision on whether to provide pricing for Byron Jackson/Flowserve
well equipment to their competition. While we knew it was possible for Layne to control the
distribution of bid pricing for the well equipment, we felt it was in the City's best interest to
move forward with the Byron Jackson/Flowserve well equipment because they supplied the
existing equipment in Well No. 4 (and every other well in Yorkville); and the well equipment
has served the City's water supply needs effectively over the years. The City's operations staff is
very familiar with the operation and maintenance of Byron Jackson/Flowserve well equipment,

which is another advantage of utilizing Byron Jackson/Flowserve for this project. Furthermore, it
should be noted that Layne provided the services for drilling Well No. 4 and installing the
original pump and motor equipment, which gives them a knowledge of the well and equipment
that will be beneficial during this project.
Lastly, the following language was contained within the bid documents providing the City with
flexibility in selecting a contractor:
The OWNER reserves the right to reject any and all bid proposals, to contract work with
whomever and in whatever manner the OWNER decides, to abandon the work entirely, or to
waive any informality or non-substantive irregularity as the interest of the OWNER may
require.
At this time, we recommend the acceptance of the bid and approval of award be made to Layne
Christensen Company, 721 W. Illinois Ave., Aurora, IL 60506, in the amount
of $286,627.00. This bid amount is 3.6% below our engineer's estimate of $297,400.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please let us know.

Attachment A:
STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Agreement: These Standard Terms and Conditions, together with the Professional Services
Agreement, constitute the entire integrated agreement between the OWNER and Engineering
Enterprises, Inc. (EEI) (hereinafter “Agreement”), and take precedence over any other provisions
between the Parties. These terms may be amended, but only if both parties consent in writing.
Standard of Care: In providing services under this Agreement, the ENGINEER will
endeavor to perform in a matter consistent with that degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised
by members of the same profession currently practicing under same circumstances in the same
locality. ENGINEER makes no other warranties, express or implied, written or oral under this
Agreement or otherwise, in connection with ENGINEER’S service.
Construction Engineering and Inspection: The ENGINEER shall not supervise, direct,
control, or have authority over any contractor work, nor have authority over or be responsible for
the means, methods, techniques sequences, or procedures of construction selected or used by any
contractor, or the safety precautions and programs incident thereto, for security or safety of the
site, nor for any failure of a contractor to comply with laws and regulations applicable to such
contractor’s furnishing and performing of its work.
The ENGINEER neither guarantees the performance of any contractor nor assumes
responsibility for contractor’s failure to furnish and perform the work in accordance with the
contract documents.
The ENGINEER is not responsible for the acts or omissions of any contractor, subcontractor, or
supplies, or any of their agents or employees or any other person at the site or otherwise
furnishing or performing any work.
Shop drawing and submittal review by the ENGINEER shall apply to only the items in the
submissions and only for the purpose of assessing if upon installation or incorporation in the
project work they are generally consistent with the construction documents. OWNER agrees that
the contractor is solely responsible for the submissions and for compliance with the construction
documents. OWNER further agrees that the ENGINEER’S review and action in relation to these
submissions shall not constitute the provision of means, methods, techniques, sequencing or
procedures of construction or extend or safety programs or precautions. The ENGINEER’S
consideration of a component does not constitute acceptance of the assembled items.
The ENGINEER’S site observation during construction shall be at the times agreed upon in the
Project Scope. Through standard, reasonable means the ENGINEER will become generally
familiar with observable completed work. If the ENGINEER observes completed work that is
inconsistent with the construction documents, that information shall be communicated to the
contractor and OWNER for them to address.
Opinion of Probable Construction Costs: ENGINEER’S opinion of probable construction
costs represents ENGINEER’S best and reasonable judgment as a professional engineer.
OWNER acknowledges that ENGINEER has no control over construction costs of contractor’s
methods of determining pricing, or over competitive bidding by contractors, or of market
conditions or changes thereto. ENGINEER cannot and does not guarantee that proposals, bids or
actual construction costs will not vary from ENGINEER’S opinion of probable construction
costs.
Copies of Documents & Electronic Compatibility: Copies of Documents that may be relied
upon by OWNER are limited to the printed copies (also known as hard copies) that are signed or
sealed by the ENGINEER. Files in electronic media format of text, data, graphics, or of other
types that are furnished by ENGINEER to OWNER are only for convenience of OWNER. Any
conclusion or information obtained or derived from such electronic files will be at the user's sole
risk. When transferring documents in electronic media format, ENGINEER makes no
representations as to long term compatibility, usability, or readability of documents resulting
from the use of software application packages, operating systems, or computer hardware
differing from those used by ENGINEER at the beginning of the project.
Changed Conditions: If, during the term of this Agreement, circumstances or conditions that
were not originally contemplated by or known to the ENGINEER are revealed, to the extent that
they affect the scope of services, compensation, schedule, allocation of risks, or other material
terms of this Agreement, the ENGINEER may call for renegotiation of appropriate portions of
this Agreement. The ENGINEER shall notify the OWNER of the changed conditions
necessitating renegotiation, and the ENGINEER and the OWNER shall promptly and in good
faith enter into renegotiation of this Agreement to address the changed conditions. If terms
cannot be agreed to, the parties agree that either party has the absolute right to terminate this
Agreement, in accordance with the termination provision hereof.
Hazardous Conditions: OWNER represents to ENGINEER that to the best of its knowledge
no Hazardous Conditions (environmental or otherwise) exist on the project site. If a Hazardous
Condition is encountered or alleged, ENGINEER shall have the obligation to notify OWNER
and, to the extent of applicable Laws and Regulations, appropriate governmental officials. It is
acknowledged by both parties that ENGINEER's scope of services does not include any services
related to a Hazardous Condition. In the event ENGINEER or any other party encounters a
Hazardous Condition, ENGINEER may, at its option and without liability for consequential or
any other damages, suspend performance of services on the portion of the project affected
thereby until OWNER: (i) retains appropriate specialist consultant(s) or contractor(s) to identify
and, as appropriate, abate, remediate, or remove the Hazardous Condition; and (ii) warrants that
the project site is in full compliance with applicable Laws and Regulations.
Consequential Damages: Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and to the
fullest extent permitted by law, neither the OWNER nor the ENGINEER, their respective
officers, directors, partners, employees, contractors, or subcontractors shall be liable to the other
or shall make any claim for any incidental, indirect, or consequential damages arising out of or
connected in any way to the Project or to this Agreement. This mutual waiver of consequential
damages shall include, but is not limited to, loss of use, loss of profit, loss of business, loss of
income, loss of reputation, or any other consequential damages that either party may have
incurred from any cause of action including negligence, strict liability, breach of contract, and
breach of strict or implied warranty. Both the OWNER and the ENGINEER shall require similar
waivers of consequential damages protecting all the entities or persons named herein in all
contracts and subcontracts with others involved in this project.
Termination: This Agreement may be terminated for convenience, without cause, upon seven
(7) days written notice of either party. In the event of termination, the ENGINEER shall prepare
a final invoice and be due compensation as set forth in the Professional Services Agreement for
all costs incurred through the date of termination.
Either party may terminate this Agreement for cause upon giving the other party not less than
seven (7) calendar days’ written notice for the following reasons:
(a) Substantial failure by the other party to comply with or perform in accordance
with the terms of the Agreement and through no fault of the terminating party;
(b) Assignment of the Agreement or transfer of the project without the prior written
consent of the other party;
(c) Suspension of the project or the ENGINEER’S services by the OWNER for a
period of greater than ninety (90) calendar days, consecutive or in the aggregate.
(d) Material changes in the conditions under which this Agreement was entered into,
the scope of services or the nature of the project, and the failure of the parties to
reach agreement on the compensation and schedule adjustments necessitated by
such changes.
Payment of Invoices: Invoices are due and payable within 30 days of receipt unless otherwise
agreed to in writing.
Third Party Beneficiaries: Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create a contractual
relationship with or a cause of action in favor of a third party against either the OWNER or the
ENGINEER. The ENGINEER’S services under this Agreement are being performed solely and
exclusively for the OWNER’S benefit, and no other party or entity shall have any claim against
the ENGINEER because of this Agreement or the performance or nonperformance of services
hereunder. The OWNER and ENGINEER agree to require a similar provision in all contracts
with contractors, subcontractors, vendors and other entities involved in this Project to carry out
the intent of this provision.
Force Majeure: Each Party shall be excused from the performance of its obligations under
this Agreement to the extent that such performance is prevented by force majeure (defined
below) and the nonperforming party promptly provides notice of such prevention to the other
party. Such excuse shall be continued so long as the condition constituting force majeure
continues. The party affected by such force majeure also shall notify the other party of the
anticipated duration of such force majeure, any actions being taken to avoid or minimize its
effect after such occurrence, and shall take reasonable efforts to remove the condition
constituting such force majeure. For purposes of this Agreement, “force majeure” shall include
conditions beyond the control of the parties, including an act of God, acts of terrorism, voluntary
or involuntary compliance with any regulation, law or order of any government, war, acts of war
(whether war be declared or not), labor strike or lock-out, civil commotion, epidemic, failure or
default of public utilities or common carriers, destruction of production facilities or materials by
fire, earthquake, storm or like catastrophe. The payment of invoices due and owing hereunder
shall in no event be delayed by the payer because of a force majeure affecting the payer.
Additional Terms or Modification: All prior understandings and agreements between the
parties are merged into this Agreement, and this Agreement may not be modified orally or in any
manner other than by an Agreement in writing signed by both parties. In the event that any
provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining
provisions shall be valid and binding on the parties.
Assignment: Neither party to this Agreement shall transfer or assign any rights or duties under
or interest in this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party. Subcontracting
normally contemplated by the ENGINEER shall not be considered an assignment for purposes of
this Agreement.
Waiver: A party’s waiver of, or the failure or delay in enforcing any provision of this
Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of the provision, nor shall it affect the enforceability of
that provision or of the remainder of this Agreement.
Attorney’s Fees: In the event of any action or proceeding brought by either party against the
other under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other all
costs and expenses including without limitation the reasonable fees of its attorneys in such action
or proceeding, including costs of appeal, if any, in such amount as the Court may adjudge
reasonable.
Headings: The headings used in this Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience
only, and in no way define, limit, enlarge, modify, explain or define the text thereof nor affect
the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.
