Village Board Meeting Minutes May 19, 2015
operations in Mount Prospect. Lechner and Sons are requesting the Class 6b abatement to maintain their
taxes at around $1.30 per square foot; without the extension their tax bill would be approximately $3.20
per square foot. Similar properties in Lake and DuPage Counties range from $1 to $1.50 per square foot.
The Village has granted several Cook County Class 6b tax incentives to attract and retain business.
Ms. Andrade stated Mr. Brian Lechner was in attendance to provide additional information and respond to
questions from the Village Board.
Trustee Hoefert stated he requested this item be removed from the Consent Agenda to bring attention to
Lechner and Sons, a business that wants to stay in Mount Prospect. The Class 6b allows the Village of
Mount Prospect to be competitive and assist businesses in staying in the Village.
Village Board Comments
Cook County does property assessments differently.
Other counties; commercial property taxes lower than residential.
Commercial property tax assessment; important discussion.
Need to bring attention to the fact businesses leave when they can’t get Class 6b incentive.
Lechner and Sons – great business; glad choosing to stay in Mount Prospect.
Mr. Lechner addressed the Village Board and shared the following information:
Forty (40) years in business
Commercial contracts
Growing 10% a year
Want to stay in Mount Prospect – likes what the Village did with Randhurst redevelopment.

Public Works Bids
Finance Director Dave Erb stated Public Works Director Sean Dorsey had several requests for Village
Board approval.
A.(1) Motion to accept bid for Evergreen Avenue/Maple Street water main improvements in an amount
not to exceed $1,458,542.
Public Works Director Sean Dorsey presented background information including project details, bid
process, bid results and staff recommendation.
A 2008 comprehensive hydraulic analysis of the Village-owned potable water distribution system
indicated the existing pipes near the base of the elevated tank tend to be constrictive in nature and
contribute to both low pressure and high pressure problems in the distribution system; the pipes retard
6
page of 13
Village Board Meeting Minutes May 19, 2015
the flow of water into and out of the elevated tank. To correct the problem staff propose replacement of
the existing undersized water mains (6” and 12” pipes) with larger pipes (24” and 16”) along Evergreen
Avenue and a portion of Maple Street near the elevated tank.
Plan and bid documents were prepared by Burns & McDonnell; six (6) bids were submitted. Martam
Construction was the low bidder; $1,325,947. Martam meets all requirements and has completed many
projects for the Village including the installation of water main.
Staff recommend award of the contract to Martam Construction, Inc. for the 2015 water main
improvements in an amount not to exceed $1,458,542; includes 10% contingency to allow for quantity
variances and underground conflicts.
Mr. Dorsey provided the following in response to questions from the Village Board:
Water pressure an issue for some time; problem keeping pressure consistent.
Pipes in this area have been repaired but never replaced.
Water pressure is good in downtown but less the further you go from downtown area.
Project paid with water/sewer enterprise funds; not impacted by cuts to general fund.
Improvements to Evergreen parking lot not part of this project; may be part of street reconstruction.
Village Board Comments
Important project - less wear and tear on pipes.
At one time there were plans to reconfigure Evergreen Street parking lot; major thoroughfare for
people walking to train.
In consideration of potential funding cuts; conservative approach for capital improvement projects.
Trustee Zadel, seconded by Trustee Hoefert, moved for approval of request to award contract for the
Evergreen Avenue/Maple Street water main improvements to Martam Construction, Inc. in an amount not
to exceed $1,458,542.

testing, and pre/post construction videography of the project area. Burns and McDonnell submitted a cost
proposal to provide the requested professional services at a cost not to exceed $120,856.

following:
Qualified resources allocated to perform professional services required.

A.(3) Motion to accept bid for booster pumping station #17 roof removal and replacement in an amount
not to exceed $83,475.
Public Works Director Sean Dorsey provided background information including project details, bid
process, bid results and staff recommendation.
In 2010 a professional roofing inspection of all Village pumping and lift stations was performed; the report
recommended total replacement of the roofing system at booster pumping station #17. STR Building
Resources (STR-REG) prepared the plans and specifications for replacement of the two (2) separate roof
areas at booster pumping station #17. The bids included two (2) different roofing systems that could be
used; a SBS modified bitumen roof or the EPDM (rubber membrane) roof as an alternative.
Three (3) bids were received; low bidder for the EPDM roof was Anthony Roofing – TECTA America and
the low bidder for the modified bitumen roof was L. Marshall Roofing. As part of the bid review and
project analysis, STR-REG determined the life-cycle cost of both roof systems and found that based on
the bids received, the modified bitumen roof offered a lower overall installation cost over the life of the
roof system. Based on this analysis and the lowest qualified bid for the modified bitumen roof system,
staff recommend the contract be awarded to L. Marshall roofing in an amount not to exceed $83,475;
included 5% contingency to cover unforeseen repairs after the roof is removed.
Mr. Dorsey provided the following in response to questions from the Village Board:
Bitumen exceeds life of regular bituminous.
Fewer seams with bitumen.
Buildings not that big – flat roof works.
Trustee Zadel, seconded by Trustee Rogers, moved for approval of request to award contract to L.
Marshall Roofing for the removal and replacement of roofs at booster pumping station #17 in an amount
not to exceed $83,475; includes 5% contingency.

Village Board Meeting Minutes May 19, 2015
Public Works Director Sean Dorsey provided background information including project details and the
2013 and 2014 bid awards and recommendation for extension of the 2014 contract. In 2013 staff initiated
a program to clean and paint all of the light poles, fixture pedestrian poles, sign posts and electrical
cabinets showing wear and paint degradation in the downtown area; 388 streetlights, 206 pedestrian
lights and 30 controller cabinets. The work in 2013 and 2014 addressed 182 items and the 2015 work
will address an additional 50 items; approximately 37% of total assets.
The low bidder for the one (1) year contracts in 2013 and 2014 was Bill’s Commercial Painting, Inc. The
owner of Bill’s Commercial Painting contacted staff offering to keep the 2014 pricing if the Village would
consider the one-year extension to the agreement. Bill’s Commercial Painting pricing in 2014 for the
cleaning and painting of one streetlight pole and fixture was $708; average bid price was $1500 per pole.
The proposed 2015 work will cost $35,400 based on 2014 pricing. Staff recommend the Village Board
approve extension of the 2014 downtown streetlight painting with Bill’s Commercial Painting, Inc. in an
amount not to exceed $40,000; includes contingency of $4,600.
Mr. Dorsey provided the following in response to questions from the Village Board:
Inspection of work already completed is conducted.
Contractor has done a nice job; work is holding up.
Poles are made of aluminum alloy; decoratively painted.
Village owns streetlights throughout the town.
Village Board Comments

vehicles under a suburban purchasing agreement with the Northwest Municipal Conference in an amount

the conversion and purchase of related installation equipment for six (6) 2015 Dodge Charger Pursuit
AWD and three (3) 2016 Ford Utility Police Interceptor AWD vehicles in an amount not to exceed
$86,400.
In 2013 the Police Department conducted a process of selecting a new vendor to provide vehicle
conversion. Based on the cost and ability to meet department needs, Lund Industries was selected.
Since that time the Police Department has employed the service of Lund Industries for squad car
conversions; removal and re-installation of police equipment from a replaced vehicle to a new vehicle.
The conversion also involves the installation of new emergency lighting, mobile data computers, radios,
mobile video recording systems and numerous other squad car equipment.
Police Chief Janowick added the Police Department is in the process of analyzing vehicles to enhance
exterior visibility; color and detailing. Noting the number of officers killed by vehicles the Police
Department is committed to keeping police officers safe.
Staff request approval to waive the bid process to employ the service of Lund Industries for the
conversion and purchase of related installation equipment for six (6) Dodge Charger Pursuit AWD and
three (3) Ford Utility Police Interceptor AWD vehicles at a cost not to exceed $9,600 per vehicle with a

Village Board Meeting Minutes May 19, 2015
Ms. Andrade stated the single-family home located at 2004 Scott Terrace, after several years of neglect,
has significantly deteriorated and presents a public nuisance. Staff has been unsuccessful in its efforts to
work with the property owner to rehabilitate the property; the home has deteriorated past the point of
repair. Due to the owner’s the lack of action, the Village sought and received a Final Default Order and
Injunction for Demolition from the Circuit Court of Cook County. The order was granted and all required
notices were given to the property owner of the Village’s intent to pursue the demolition of the home.
Staff solicited proposals for the demolition; three (3) proposals were submitted by demolition contractors;
Langos Corporation submitted the lowest proposal, $39,300. Staff recommend acceptance of the
proposal submitted by Langos Corporation in an amount not to exceed $39,300.
Once the structure is successfully removed, the Village will file the necessary priority lien to recuperate all
costs associated with this project.
In response to questions from the Village Board Ms. Andrade provided the following:
All legal authorization in place for Village to demolition property.
Village will not own property; lien will be placed on property to collect all Village costs associated with
demolition.
In addition to the structure, demolition includes removal of foundation and driveway; property will be
returned to green space.
Village Board Comments
Other properties in the community that are dilapidated; create public nuisance.
Village expending staff time and money to address issues created by uncooperative property owners.
Human Services works extensively with owners when property impacted due to owner’s age or
mental health; but some owner’s just choose not to cooperate.
Encourage discussion on how Village can recoup legal costs created by uncooperative owner.
Explore ways to expedite removal of dilapidated properties; cooperation/support from courts.
Trustee Zadel, seconded by Trustee Polit, moved for approval of request to accept proposal from Langos
Corporation for the demolition of 2004 Scott Terrace in an amount not to exceed $39,300.
