The Ford Interceptors have proven to be well suited to police patrol operations and Public Works mechanics are satisfied with the Interceptor's durability and reliability, with the warranty and repair services provided by Ford dealers. Staff recommend the purchase of nine (9) Ford Interceptors under the State of Illinois bid award at a cost of $22,500 per vehicle at a total cost not to exceed $202,500. Police Chief Dahlberg presented background information and recommendation for conversion of the nine (9) Ford Interceptors and new equipment installation.

As there are a limited number of installers who provide these services, two (2) local vendors were asked to submit proposals. Based on costs, service and ability to promptly meet the needs of the Police Department staff recommend utilizing the services of Ultra Strobe Communications for department squad car conversions and installations in an amount not to exceed $81,000. Villaqe Board Discussion/Comments · New cars much safer · Funds already accrued for purchase of vehicles · 2011 - end of production of Ford Interceptor; may be beneficial for Village to purchase additional vehicles, store for future use.

(JEC) was awarded the contract for the purchase and installation of paint spray booth. However, after review of the proposed project drawings with JEC, staff determined JEC's proposal was unresponsive and unable to meet the minimum specifications required for the floor pit of the spray booth. Staff contacted Wellman Systems, L TD, company that submitted the next lowest cost proposal to discuss their proposal; the Wellman proposal met or exceeded all contract requirements. And, similar to the recommendation of JEC, Wellman recommended the requirement for the spray paint booth's burner from 4.8 million BTU to a 4 million BTU burner; with this modification the proposed cost was reduced to $144,980. Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Mayor and Board of Trustees of the Village of Mount Prospect Page 6 of 11 January 19, 2010 Staff recommend the award to JEC be rescinded and award the contract to the next lowest responsible bidder, Wellman Systems, for the purchase and installation of spray paint booth in an amount not to exceed $144,980. Mr. Andler stated staff is requesting Village Board approval to reduce the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for Phase I construction by $144,980, the cost of the new paint spray booth; the paint spray booth for Public Work's Vehicle maintenance was included with the Phase I projects GMP.

Stating nine (9) bids were received for the removal of dead, dying or structurally unsound parkway trees to ground level, Ms. Clark reviewed the bid results and presented staff recommendations. In order to maximize the number of bidders, a provision allowing contractors to bid on one (1), two (2) or three (3) partial contracts was added to the bid specifications as was a provision for the Village to extend the contract(s) for a second year at the same bid prices if both the contractor and Village agree. It is estimated that 200 trees will be removed during 2010. Staff recommend award of a two (2) -year tree removal contract to Homer Tree Care, Inc.; year one (1) will be in the amount not to exceed $140,000 and year two (2) will be limited to whatever amount is appropriated in the 2011 budget.

The bid included a provision for the Village to extend the contract for a second (2nd) year at the same bid prices, if both the contractor and Village agree. Asplundh submitted the lowest bid. Although Asplundh has never worked for the Village, they have done line clearing in Mount Prospect for ComEdo Additional references also provided favorable comments on the quality of Asplundh's line clearance work. Staff would like to give Asplundh the opportunity to work in the Village, but request a provision to the contract award be included that would allow the Village to terminate the contract if Asplundh fails to meet the Village's work performance standards and award the remainder of the contract to the next lowest bidder. Ms. Clark provided the following in response to questions from the Village Board. · Village crews also do stump removals. · Staff will notify the next lowest bidder of conditions for possible award of contract. · As the Village increases residential services by Village staff; need to out-source this type of work. · Cost analysis - Village crews vs. contractual services [Village Manager Janonis stated the $85,000 contractual services would not cover the cost of one full-time employee; salary/benefits. Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Mayor and Board of Trustees of the Village of Mount Prospect Page 8 of 11 January 19, 2010 · Emergency work - need contractual services Trustee Hoefert, seconded by Trustee ladel, moved to award the stump removal contract to the low bidder, Asplundh in an amount not to exceed $85,000 and to authorize the Village Manager to terminate that contract under the terms of the bid at such time as he deems their performance to be unacceptable, and, at such time to award the contract to the next low bidder, on the terms set forth in their bid.

Request Village Board approval to accept bid for streetscape corridor landscape maintenance in an amount not to $96,120. Stating three (3) bids were received for streetscape corridor landscape, Ms. Clark reviewed the bid results and presented staff recommendations. A pre-bid meeting was held to provide an overview of the work required; spring clean-up, mulching, weeding, fertilization, aeration, turf mowing and shrub pruning. Ms. Clark noted a majority of the areas in the bid specifications are high profile locations. The contract will cover a nine (9) month period in 2010 and again in 2011 if the Village is satisfied with the 2010 work performance. The low bidder, Alaniz Landscaping Group, did not complete the bid sheet correctly; listed the per mowing fee rather than total cost and the bid bond was not in the correct amount. [Ms. Clark also noted concerns staff had with Alaniz performing work in a high profile area without a proven work history in the Village, and less than favorable references for this type of work.] Due to these bid sheet errors staff informed Alaniz their bid as submitted could not be considered. Staff recommend the Village Board reject the bid submitted by Alaniz, and award a two (2) year contract to the lowest qualified bidder, Lundstrom's Nursery, Inc. Year one (1) would be in an amount not to exceed $96,120; year two (2) will be in the amount appropriated in the 2011 budget for streetscape corridor landscape maintenance. VillaQe Board Discussion · Concerns regarding performance should be reason for rejecting bid - not error in multiplication. · Significant difference in the number of actual bids received from the number of companies attending pre-bid meeting [Ms. Clark indicated Village has high standards for work to be performed - may discourage potential bidders.] Trustee Korn, seconded by Trustee Matuszak, moved to approve request to accept bid from lowest qualified bidder, Lundstrom's Nurseries for streetscape corridor landscape maintenance in an amount not to exceed $96,120 for year one (1); year two (2) will be in the amount appropriated in the 2011 budget for streetscape corridor landscape maintenance. Upon roll call: Ayes: Nays: Motion carried. Hoefert, Juracek, Korn, Matuszak, Po lit, ladel None TURF MOWING G. Request Village Board approval to accept bid for turf mowing in an amount not to exceed $34,125. Stating four (4) bids were received for turf mowing, Ms. Clark reviewed the bid results and presented staff recommendations for the three (3) year contract. The contract requires thirty (30) weekly mowings at eighty-four (84) sites. Alaniz Landscaping Group submitted the lowest bid. Alaniz has no work history with the Village for turf mowing and of two (2) references received one (1) was favorable and the other less than favorable. However, in Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Mayor and Board of Trustees of the Village of Mount Prospect Page 9 of 11 January 19, 2010 consideration of the cost-savings and the Village's ability to cancel the contract should Alaniz's performance be unsatisfactory staff recommend the contract be awarded to Alaniz. [If the contract is terminated the remaining contract would be awarded to the next lowest bidder, Lundstrom's Nursery.] Ms. Clark responded to questions from the Village Board including whether the second (2nd) low bidder would have to honor the original prices submitted should the contract with Alaniz be cancelled. Ms. Clark stated if Lundstrom chose not to honor their original prices, the Village would need to start from scratch. Trustee Matuszak, seconded by Trustee Juracek, moved to award the turf mowing contract to the low bidder, Alaniz Landscaping Group in an amount not to exceed $34,125 in year one (1) (years two (2) and three (3) in the amount approved for Budget Years 2011 and 2012 for turf mowing), and to authorize the Village Manager to terminate that contract under the terms of the bid at such time as he deems their performance to be unacceptable, and at such time to award the contract to the next low bidder, on the terms set forth in their bid. Upon roll call: Ayes: Nays: Motion carried. Hoefert, Juracek, Korn, Matuszak, Polit, ladel None PARKWAY RESTORATION H. Request Village Board approval to accept bid for parkway restoration in an amount not to exceed $80,000. Stating two (2) bids were received for parkway restoration, Ms. Clark reviewed the bid results and presented staff recommendations. Alaniz Landscaping Group was the low bidder. This contract requires quick turn around, excellent responsiveness and very specific guidelines to assure the long term health of turf and parkway trees. Alaniz has no work history with the Village for parkway restoration and received less than favorable comments from their references for this type of work. Staff do not believe Alaniz is qualified to perform the work as required and therefore recommend the three (3) year contract be awarded to the next lowest bidder American Landscaping, Inc.; American Landscaping (ALS) has an excellent work performance with the Village. Villaae Board Comments · Consider using the same provision to cancel contract for unsatisfactory work if awarded to Alaniz · Residents share in responsibility for watering of restored area. In response to questions from the Village Board, Ms. Clark stated the Village will still monitor work by ALS but not to the level required for company with a new company. Trustee ladel, seconded by Trustee Po lit, moved to approve request to accept bid from lowest qualified bidder, American Landscaping, for parkway restoration in an amount not to exceed $37,880 for year one (1); year two (2) and year three (3) will be in the amounts appropriated in the 2011 and 20112 budgets for parkway restoration.
