3 Minutes of a Regular Village Board Meeting Page 3 Public Safety 1. The Police Department is in possession of many unclaimed lost and found items and items that were recovered during the investigation of crimes. Because the unclaimed lost and found items have been held for more than six (6) months and all efforts to identify and return the items recovered during the investigation of crimes to their lawful owners have been exhausted, the Police Department requested authorization to do one or more of the following: (1) dispose of them by public auction; (2) destroy, discard, or recycle them; or (3) convert them for use in Village operations. An Ordinance was presented for adoption authorizing the Police Department to take the actions described above. Public Services 1. On January 14, 2015, the Board directed staff to obtain a Professional Services Proposal from Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd. (CBBEL) for construction observation associated with the 2015 Road Improvement Program based on the final selection of the road segments to be included in the program. The Board had previously approved a Professional Services Proposal from CBBEL for the design, public meeting, and bidding assistance for the program. On January 20, 2015, the Board requested that the Village Attorney review the indemnification language contained in CBBEL s proposal. In the course of that review, other sections related to the overall insurance and indemnification provisions of the proposal were also reviewed and revised. A Resolution was presented for adoption approving an amended Professional Services Proposal from CBBEL for construction observation associated with the 2015 Road Improvement Program in the amount not to exceed $188,000. CBBEL Engineer Lee Fell confirmed that CBBEL has accepted the proposed amendments. 2. The carpeting in the Village Hall s lower level is close to 15 years old and has suffered from severe water damage and general wear and tear. A portion of the carpeting had to be removed following a flood this past summer. The drainage problem which caused the flooding has been corrected. The carpeted stairs to the lower level are especially soiled because of mold remediation work and the Village s painting project. Staff recommended replacing the lower level carpeting with industrial nylon broadloom carpet tiles, which can be removed and replaced if necessary, and replacing the stairwell carpeting with industrial nylon broadloom carpeting. Staff requested authorization to award a contract to F. H. Paschen, as the general contractor, and S. N. Nielsen & Associates, LLC, as the subcontractor, for the lower level carpet replacement project through the Job Order Contract program in the amount of $16, Trustee Hall asked whether staff had considered purchasing carpeting from a retail carpet vendor. Interim Village Manager Bourke responded that retail carpet vendors may not be able to produce industrial-grade carpeting and that F. H. Paschen identified the proposed carpeting due to the lower level s high traffic. He also stated that the Village will save time and money because no bid specifications or bid packets will have to be prepared and that F. H. Paschen has a proven track record. Trustee Stach asked if this project had been budgeted in the FY 2015 Capital Plan. Finance Director Hartnett stated that it was not budgeted because carpet replacement was not anticipated, but that replacement of the first floor carpeting may be included in the upcoming budget.

4 Minutes of a Regular Village Board Meeting Page 4 3. Interim Village Manager Bourke reported that, while removing wallpaper during the Village Hall painting project, staff discovered sizable amounts of black mold in the employee lunch room and the foyer of the lower level. Although this was not a budgeted expense and was not contemplated when the painting contract was issued, Interim Village Manager Bourke determined that the exposed mold constituted an immediate emergency, as it could have had an adverse impact on employee health and overall public safety. He consulted with the Village President and Village staff before contracting with a mold remediation specialist to remove and sanitize the impacted areas. The cost of the mold remediation for the upper and lower levels was $3, and was funded by the Capital Fund Budget s Contingency line item. 4. As part of the FY Water Capital Budget, $25,000 was designated to analyze the capacity of the Village s water system that lies south of 55th Street. Recent residential redevelopments have required service connections to existing water mains, which has resulted in water pressure at certain lots to be critically close to the minimum pressure rate of 20 PSI. Any water pressure lower than this would demand a boil order according to State regulations. A study of the capacity and characteristics of the existing system is necessary to determine the need for potential capital projects to remedy the low pressure. On December 16, 2014, a Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued to solicit engineering services for the analysis. Six (6) proposals were submitted for consideration. Staff recommended awarding the contract to Ciorba Group, Inc., which received the highest point total based on staff s evaluation. A Resolution was presented for adoption approving an Engineering Services Agreement with Ciorba Group, Inc. in the amount not to exceed $25,000 to analyze the capacity and potential needs of the Village s water system south of 55th Street. Trustee Stach asked Public Works Director Millette to forward a copy of the completed report to the Board when it is available. 5. As part of the FY Water Capital Budget, $1,500,000 was designated for the 2015 Water Main Replacement Program, which will be implemented in conjunction with the Village s Road Improvement Program. On January 5, 2015, a Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued to Baxter & Woodman, Inc. and Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd. (CBBEL) to solicit design engineering services. After evaluating both proposals, staff recommended awarding the project to CBBEL in the amount not to exceed $110,000 because of CBBEL s superior qualifications. It was noted that this expense was budgeted partially in the FY and partially in FY Water Capital Fund. Based on the age and break history of the water mains and to coordinate replacement with the Road Improvement Program, the water main segments scheduled to be replaced this year include: Chestnut Avenue - Golf Avenue to Jackson Road Golf Avenue - Chestnut Avenue to Norfolk McIntosh Avenue - Chicago Avenue to the dead end Norfolk Avenue - Prospect Avenue to Rose Place Rt Chestnut Avenue to Waverly Avenue Waverly Avenue - Chestnut Avenue to Rt. 83 A Resolution was presented for adoption approving an Engineering Services Agreement with CBBEL for engineering design services associated with the 2015 Water Main Replacement Program.
