spine specialist and underwent treatment for cervical radiculopathy. Ms. Shaw was released

during calendar year 2013, and 45,000 tons of synthetic gypsum from January 1, 2014 through
June 30, 2014, in an amount not to exceed $1,215,000.00 pursuant to Proposal No. UE13-30.
The City produces approximately 200,000 tons of synthetic gypsum per year. The primary goal
of this program is to beneficially reuse as much synthetic gypsum as possible. Envirovac will
haul the synthetic gypsum from the Power Plant Complex to a cement manufacturing plant in
Missouri. Pursuant to this proposal, the utility will pay Envirovac $9.00 per ton. These rates are
subject to a fuel adjustment clause based on Department of Energy fuel averages for the
Midwest region. These services include all fees and permitting for hauling and disposal of said
gypsum product.
The contract allows for an extension if the City’s other beneficial use vendor (BRM) cannot
keep up with our demands. BRM also bid on this contract and will pay the City $5.00 per ton
for taking 50,000 tons per year. If BRM can establish a stable market for our synthetic gypsum,
we will increase the tonnage to BRM, thereby saving money.
The last time this contract was awarded was in 2009. That ordinance authorized payment of
$6,500,000.00 to Envirovac for removal of 200,000 tons at the rate of $10.00 to $11.25 per ton.

if BRM has established a stable market for the agricultural use of the gypsum, the City may
increase the tonnage to BRM.
The City produces approximately 200,000 tons of synthetic gypsum per year. The primary goal
of this program is to beneficially reuse as much synthetic gypsum as possible. During the first
18 months, BRM will purchase, haul and market a minimum of 50,000 tons of synthetic
gypsum for agricultural use. BRM will pay the City $5.00 per ton for annual amounts of 50,000
tons or less. BRM will pay the City $4.00 per ton if the total annual volume is greater than

variable operating (transmission schedule) costs. A majority of these costs involve the charges
required for the utility to serve its native load pursuant to the terms of Schedule 10: Demand,
Energy and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Charges of the MISO tariff. As
the Office of Public Utilities is a MISO Transmission Owner, MISO distributes a share of the
transmission revenues it receives from transmission customers back to the utility.

2012-449 AN ORDINANCE ACCEPTING BIDS AND AUTHORIZING THE

UTILITIES (Requested by Mayor J. Michael Houston)
This is a standard, recurring contract for coal hauling and backhauling of coal ash.
This ordinance accepts Contract UE13-09-46 with Beelman Truck Co. (“Beelman”) for a threeyear
term in the total amount not to exceed $11,305,000.00, for hauling coal by truck from the
Viper Coal Mine in Elkhart, Illinois, to the Dallman Power Station. This contract also provides
for ash hauling from Dallman to the Viper Mine for a three-year term. The term of the contract
is January 1, 2013, through December 31, 2015.
The coal hauling rate is $2.87 per ton, the ash hauling rate is $1.49 per ton from the Power
Station and $1.98 per ton from the Ash Pond. The hauling rate is subject to a fuel adjustment
determined by the cost of No. 2 fuel oil. The fuel adjustment will be made bimonthly based
upon the Midwest Rack Price. The minimum projected coal delivery requirements are 1.2 to 1.5
million tons annually. The ash hauling projected requirement is only 25,000 tons each year
because of the existing fly ash marketing agreement with FlyAshDirect.
There were 4 bidders on this contract. J. Curry Redi-mix (“J. Curry”) submitted the lowest bid
at $2.75 per ton, and was only for 50% of our coal needs. Beelman was the next low bid at
$2.87 per ton, and is for 100% of our needs. Beelman is the only local vendor, and therefore
entitled to a 5% local vendor preference. With the 5% local vendor preference applied, Beelman
is $0.02 per ton lower than J. Curry.
The last time this contract was bid was in 2010. Curry Ice & Coal was awarded the last contract
at the rate of $1.97 per ton. In March of 2011, Curry Ice & Coal went out of business leaving us
without a hauler. Beelman finished out the remainder of that contract for their 2009 bid price of
$2.37 per ton, and has been providing all of our coal hauling needs in a timely manner ever
since.
