On the Agenda: Village Council Meeting (4/10)

The Village Council will meet tonight at 7 p.m. in Council Chambers inside Village Hall. Below are some highlights from the proposed agenda.

On the Consent Agenda

•A bid awarding $165,550 to A Lamp Concrete Contractors Inc. for 2012 pavement patching.

•A motion awarding a contract for $38,075 to ISES Corporation out of Stone Mountain, Georgia, for completion of a facility maintenance plan. From the motion:

During the Village Council Strategic Planning discussion in September 2011, the development of a Facility Maintenance & Management Plan was identified as one of the Village’s 2012 High Priority Action Items. Funding was included in the FY2012 Budget to support the use of a firm with strong expertise in the area of facility condition assessments and development of such a plan.

Based on the project plan for this High Priority Action Item, staff developed a request for proposal (RFP) seeking the lowest qualified vendor to provide the expertise necessary to assist with this project. Three firms responded to the RFP and were interviewed by an interdepartmental panel of Village staff members. The panel determined that ISES Corporation best met the established criteria. ISES Corporation has extensive experience performing similar assessments and has developed similar plans for organizations across the country, including Argonne National Laboratory, the City of Chicago, and the City of Spartanburg, South Carolina. ISES will perform a condition assessment of all major Village facilities, except Fire Station 2, and provide recommendations and cost estimate for ling-term facility maintenance. Furthermore, after performing the assessment, the data and recommendations determined by ISES Corporation will be entered into a database that will allow the Village to develop better long-term plans and make more informed facility maintenance decisions.

On the Active Agenda

•A motion directing staff to implement the stormwater utility system.

Up for First Read

•A resolution authorizing a license agreement with the American Legion Post #80 for the Memorial Day parade.
