MEMORANDUM
May 31, 1996
TO: Finance Committee
FR: lames D. Ring, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Tire Disposal Services Bid
In the fall of 1994 we completed closure and capping of the main part of the
Kittredge Rand Landfill, which had formerly been used for rubbish disposal. There is also
a large stockpile of discarded tires located at the northerly, side of the site which and be
removed and properly disposed of Over the pest year I have been monitoring the tire
processing and disposal market in order to time issuance of the City's RFP to achieve the
lowest cost. Copia of ow RFP for the removal cost disposal services were sem to several
prospam" bidders. On May 29, 1996 we received one proposal, which was a Joint
proposal from Sawyers of Hampden and T.LR.E.S, ofEGoi, Mune. These two fires are
the only two licensed tire processors of sure size in Maine. Services to be provided under
their proposal includes loading tires at the Kittredge Road stockpile and transporting them
to the processing facility where they will be shredded and chipped into a firm product
which will be used by paper mills. As an added benefit the City of Bangor will be able to
claim a recycling credit due to recent legislation which now recognizes this type of fire
disposal as a beneficial reuse.
The price for these services in the Sawya/T.I.R.E.S. proposal is $69,50 par ton.
We have checked prices and services that these companies have provided to a number of
Maine cor muNdes during the past year and found that disposal comm have ranged frwv
$82.00/toe to $110.00/ton with the average being around $90.00/ton: Our price of
$69.50 is a very good prim. All references regarding service by both firms were excellent
I anticipated a total contract amount of approximately $300,000. We will be able
to oacml the expenditure by dimming the connector on how many time are to be
removed. Funding Ran this comment is available from reimbursement the City received
from the State ($40,WO+) for landfill closure. We will need to reserve some funding for
additional Wading and capping of the landfill area from which Lues are removed. An
expenditure of $300,000 will not I"y ranove au of am the stockpile, but will reduce it
considerably. We will have a better eminate of the total number of time once removal is
underway.
96-2)6
It is my recommendation that we enter into a wntract with Sawyedf.CRE.S. for
tire removal and disposal services. Due to the size of the wntract, (over SI00,000) full
Council Action will be required.
I w be available at the ]one 3 potence Committee meeting to answer any
questions or provide addmond information.
