The Plan Commission voted 5-0 in favor of the request.

AUTHORIZATION TO AWARD CONTRACT FOR THE 2017 SEWER LINING PROGRAM
Public Works Analyst Justin Keenan reported the Village went out to bid in January. Five bids were opened on February 7, 2017. The Village requested a base bid, which included 9,466 linear feet of sanitary sewer lining. They also requested an alternate bid of 15 sewer t-liners, intended to be part of the 50/50 program where residents would be offered up to $2,000 to line their sanitary sewers. The alternate bid came in higher than expected and would cost a minimum of $6000 for each liner. The budgeted amount for the alternate bid was $30,000. Staff is requesting the Trustees reject the alternate bid and delay the 50/50 program until next year.
Staff is also requesting the Trustees award the base bid contract for the 2017 sewer lining program to Visu-Sewer in an amount not to exceed the budgeted amount of $400,000.
Trustee Nadler believes the Village should just award the sewer lining program contract up to the bid price of $327,167.75 rather than the budgeted amount of $400,000. Trustee Farkas suggested awarding the base bid and authorizing Mr. Street to make a determination on whether the additional funds should be released based on how the Village is doing with the budget. Trustee Nadler would be more comfortable if the Trustees decide.
Mr. Street suggested waiting a couple months for the extra authorization.
Trustee Farkas moved to award the 2017 sewer lining contract to Visu-Sewer in the amount of $327,167.75. Trustee Nadler seconded the motion. The motion passed by the following vote:
AYES: Farkas, Jester, Nadler, Seiden, Struthers (5)
NAYS: None (0)
Trustee Nadler moved to reject the alternate bid. Trustee Farkas seconded the motion. The

NAYS: None (0)
Staff will come back to discuss the remainder of the budgeted amount during a future meeting
after the final cost of other upcoming projects is known.
AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE SEVEN NEW PATROL VEHICLES
Chief Sliozis reported the Trustees budgeted to replace eight marked vehicles through the VERF.
The budgeted amount was $240,000. He is asking for the replacement of seven vehicles due to the price increase between the budgeted amount and the vehicle cost. Chief Sliozis noted they will be reducing the fleet by one vehicle. Curry Motors currently holds the Suburban Purchasing Contract, but Highland Park Ford will match the pricing.
Trustee Farkas moved to waive the competitive bidding process and purchase seven 2017 Ford Utility Police Interceptor vehicles from Highland Park Ford at a cost not to exceed $191,870.

AYES: Farkas, Jester, Nadler, Seiden, Struthers (5)

Landmark Ford has a similar vehicle at a purchase price of $17,621. In addition, the Department requests authorization to utilize Harvey Communications to transfer squad equipment at a cost not to exceed $3620.20.
Trustee Farkas moved to waive the competitive bidding process and purchase one administrative police vehicle from Landmark Ford at a price not to exceed $17,621 and authorize Harvey Communications to transfer the squad equipment at a cost not to exceed $3620.20.

AUTHORIZATION TO AWARD CONTRACT TO REPLACE SALT STORAGE BAY OVERHEAD DOORS

In 2014, the Village replaced one of the doors and budgeted $20,000 to replace the other two overhead doors in 2017. Staff received three proposals for doors that are powder coated for corrosion resistance, which should last 20 years.
