JANONIS, VILLAGE MANAGER FROM: DIRECTOR OF FINANCE DATE: JUNE 15,2006 SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF AUTOMATED FOLDERlSTUFFER MACHINE PURPOSE To recommend the purchase of an automated folder/stuffer machine to be used by various departments in the preparation of their mailings. BACKGROUND The Finance Department currently has a folding machine to assist in the preparation of mailings for the Village. The machine is five years old and is not designed for the volume currently being processed. The machine is also limited in the different types of paper stock that it can handle. Since the machine is only capable of performing the folding component of the mailing, staff must still manually insert the documents into the envelope to compete the mailing. Based on the limitations of the existing machine and efficiencies that can be gained in the mailing process, the purchase of a combination folder/stuffer was researched. DISCUSSION Three vendors were contacted to begin the selection process. The three vendors were Pitney Bowes, Neopost and Progressive Office Equipment (supporting the Formax line of mailing machines). A meeting was held with each ofthe vendors to discuss the needs of the Village and to set up a demo of their product. Only Pitney Bowes and Neopost were able to provide for a demo of their machine. It was discovered that Progressive Office Equipment was strictly a reseller of the product and does not have access to any of the Formax products for demonstration. Visits were made to the showrooms of Pitney Bowes and Neopost to get exposure to their full line of products and get answers to outstanding items from the initial demonstrations. From these visits, Village staff was able to narrow the choices down to five machines with similar capacity and features. Three machines were manufactured by Neopost and two were manufactured by Pitney Bowes. Quotes for the machine purchase and annual maintenance cost were requested from the two vendors. Attachment 1 provides this information as well as relevant machine specifications in a table for comparison purposes. After a final review of the favored machines it was felt that the Pitney Bowes 01400 best fit the current needs of the Village and into the future. Although the Neopost SI 62 was available at a lower price ($7,779 vs. $9,800), the "pieces per hour" volume would not be sufficient to handle future growth. Other advantages of the 01400 include higher capacity insert and exit envelope feeders and the ability to pre-program a larger number of re-occurring jobs. Also, the manner in Folder/Stuffer Machine Recommendation June 15, 2006 Page 2 which the Neopost completes the fold causes a problem with the set up and placement of Village form letters that would require a modification in programming if selected. Annual maintenance costs were lowest with the Pitney Bowes machines. A copy of the spec sheet for the 01400 is included for your review. Although only $4,000 was initially budgeted for this item, sufficient funds from the Other Equipment and Office Supplies accounts are available in the Finance Department budget to facilitate the purchase. A budget transfer will be processed upon approval of this request. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Village Board approve the purchase of the Pitney Bowes folder/stuffer machine, Model 01400 for a not to exceed amount of $9,800. J~t? ~ David O.

Sheet Feeders each feed a single sheet (or predeter- mined number of sheets with OMR option! into a mail piece. The pages ............. from one or both feeders are then gathered and folded together. Command Center allows up to 20 jobs to be preset and saved in memory for error free job change-overs. Optical Mark Recognition [OMR] makes it easy to control the contents of each individual mail piece. OMR lets you collate multi-page documents that vary from as few as a single page to as many as 5 pages from a single sheet feeder, and incre- mental inserts can be included in the collation if extra feed- ers are used.

Some bridges have required minor maintenance work such as the bridges along Burning Bush Lane, Feehanville Drive, Business Center Drive and Wolf Road. Four bridges, Emerson Street, William Street, See-Gwun A venue and Lincoln Street, have all had major work done to them. This year, the rehabilitation project includes work to the George Street Bridge. Upon completion of this project, it will conclude the multi-year bridge maintenance program. Public Works will continue to inspect the bridges and perform routine maintenance but it is not expected that major work will be necessary for another 10- 15 years. The project will involve deck replacement, abutment wall and beam repairs, and channel stabilization beneath the bridge. No other bridges are included in this year's program. Also included in the project is the replacement of the deteriorated bank stabilization measures 100' upstream and downstream of the bridge. Funding for this project has been allocated in the Bridge Account using Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) funds as well as the Creek Bank Stabilization Account. The work is expected to begin after the 4th of July and be completed by the end of August. Bids Results At 10:00 a.m. on June 12th, sealed bids were publicly opened and read aloud for the 2006 Bridge Rehabilitation Project. A Notice to Bidders was published in the mOT Bulletin and local newspaper and several local contractors were sent invitations to bid on the project. Three contractors submitted bids. A low bid of $196,359.00 was received from Martam Construction of Elgin,nIinois and a high bid of $322,510.00 from Sebastian Contracting of Brookfield, Illinois. The engineer's estimate for the project was $199,432.00. All bidders submitted bid bonds in the amount of 5% of their total bids as required by the contract documents. All bids were checked for their accuracy. There was one error but it did not affect the order of the bids. All bidders correctly signed their bids and bid bonds. Below is a summary of the bids. Bidders Martam Construction, Inc. Alliance Contractors, Inc. Sebastian Contracting Corp. Engineer's Estimate Total Bid $196,359.00 $269,306.75 $322,510.00 $199,432.00 page 2 of2 2006 Bridge Rehabilitation Project June 15, 2006 Discussion The low bidder, Martam Construction, was the contractor for the 2005 Bridge Rehabilitation Project and they have also performed streetscape and pond dredging projects for the Village. Their workmanship has been acceptable. Engineering Inspection Services Ciorba Group, Inc. of Chicago, lllinois was requested by the Village to submit a proposal to provide inspection services throughout this project. They are the designer of the project as well as the previous bridge rehabilitation projects. They have also been the Village's consultant on various street lighting and pond dredging projects. Ciorba Group's quote to provide inspection services for this project is $16,752.00. Based on the scope of the project, it is Staffs opinion that the quote is acceptable. Recommendation It is Staffs recommendation that the low bidder, Martam Construction, be awarded the construction contract for the 2006 Bridge Rehabilitation Project in the amount not to exceed $196,359.00. This approval would be contingent upon acceptance by IDOT. It is also Staffs recommendation that Ciorba Group, Inc. be awarded a contract for construction engineering services in the amount not to exceed $16,752.00. This approval, too, would be contingent upon acceptance by IDOT. Funding for this project is available in the 2006 Budget. Please include this item on the June 20th Village Board Meeting Agenda. Matthew P. Lawrie I concur with the above recommendation.

JANONIS DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS ~~ IP/2J>/ c(II FROM: DATE: JUNE 15,2006 SUBJECT: FINAL BALANCING CHANGE ORDER / FINAL INVOICE RTE 83 IMPROVEMENT - PROSPECT AVE. TO GOLF RD. - $419,441.92 Background The Village Board, at the December 21, 1999 Board Meeting authorized the execution of an agreement between the Village and the Illinois Department of Transportation (mOT). The agreement dated January 18,2000, as amended, specified those portions of the costs the Village would be responsible for, in conjunction with the improvement of Route 83 from Prospect Ave. to Golf Rd. Improvements included widening, resurfacing and reconstruction of the roadway; modernizing and interconnecting all traffic signals; replace and relocate storm sewers; replace the bridge over Weller Creek; sidewalk replacement; and replacement and relocation of Village water mains and sanitary sewers. The total estimated cost of improvements was $5,285,925.00 and the Village's share was $555,561.00. Harza Engineering was the design engineer who developed the cost estimates and mOT Engineers provided all construction engineering services. mOT secured bids and awarded a contract to Martam Construction for $5,592,549.99. Discussion Construction started April, 2000, and road was reopened in November, 2000. Final punch list items were not completed until July, 2002. Once construction was well under way, mOT inspectors realized the design construction quantities were severely under estimated. This resulted in a significant increase to Martam's Contract. Their final contract amount was $7,390,165.88 and fmal construction engineering services was $1,013,734.82 for a total improvement cost of$8,403,900.70 (see attached detailed final cost table). Per the terms of the agreement "The Village's final cost shall be determined by multiplying the final quantities times contract unit prices plus 10% for construction engineering and 5% preliminary engineering". FINAL BALANCING CHANGE ORDER / FINAL INVOICE June 15,2006 Page 2 of2 Over the past year, Village Engineer Jeff Wulbecker and I have been meeting with IDOT off and on comparing their final construction quantities against our quantities and field notes. IDOT's original final invoice they sent to the Village in April, 2005 had the Village total share at $2,216,132.89. Less previous payments of $480,660.70 and a credit of $20,748.39, IDOT said we owed them $1,714,732.80. This did not agree with our records. IDOT has since agreed with our measured quantities and records and has reduced the Village's final total share to $920,851.01. Less our previous payments of $480,660.70 and the same credit of $20,748.39, the Village's balance due to IDOT is now $419,441.92. Jeff and I are both in full agreement with these revised numbers. The Village Board had originally approved an agreement amount with IDOT of $555,561.00. The Board also previously approved two change orders. One was for the installation of brick pavers in the narrow parkways from Prospect Ave. to Pine St. at a cost of $66,810.00. The second change order was for coating all the new traffic signals with a black powder coating at a cost of$68,001.15. This increased the revised total Village Board approved agreement amount to $690,372.15. In order to final out this agreement, the Village Board now needs to approve a final balancing change order for $230,478.86. This will bring the approved agreement amount up to $920,851.01, and would authorize final payment of $419,441.92 to IDOT. Over the past several budget years I have been carrying over funds from both the Village MFT Fund and Street Improvement Fund in anticipation of this final payment. Therefore there are sufficient funds in the 2006 budget to cover this final payment to IDOT. Recommendation It is my recommendation the Village Board authorize a final balancing change order for the Route 83 Improvement agreement with IDOT for an amount not to exceed $230,478.86 and authorize final payment to IDOT for an amount not to exceed $419,441.92. Please place the item on the Village Board Agenda for their consideration at the June 20, 2006 board meeting. ~ Glen R.
