Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Mount Prospect Page 8 of 11 Mayor and Board of Trustees June 5, 2012 of the Village of Mount Prospect MANAGER'S VILLAGE MANAGER'S REPORT REPORT A. Request Village Board reject all bids for the 2012 sewer line spot relays as non - responsive and to re -bid the work with modified instructions. Public Works Director Sean Dorsey presented background information and staff recommendation. At the May 15, 2012 Village Board meeting staff recommended the 2012 sewer line spot relay project be awarded to the apparent low bidder; Martam Construction. However, Martam's failure to attend a mandatory pre -bid meeting raised concerns about the responsiveness of their bid and the Village Board declined a motion to accept staff's recommendation. The estimated cost for the project was $277,000 - $295,000; with the exception of Martam's bid, all of the bids exceeded this limit. Staff determined that the other bidders had associated a monetary risk with a bid document requirement assigning responsibility for the disposal of hazardous soil. As the Village has no knowledge that any of the project's excavation sites contain soils requiring disposal as hazardous material; staff propose to re -bid the work with clear instructions directing bidders to assume all excavated soils can be disposed as clean construction debris. Staff recommend rejecting all bids as non - responsive as they exceeded construction cost estimates. Staff also recommends re- bidding the work with modified instructions pertaining to the disposal of excavated soils. Trustee Zadel, seconded by Trustee Matuszak, moved for approval of request to reject all bids for the 2012 Sewer Line Spot Relays project as non - response and re -bid the work with modified instructions pertaining to the disposal of excavated soil. Upon roll call: Ayes: Hoefert, Juracek, Korn, Matuszak, Polit, Zadel Nays: None Motion carried. LED STREETLIGHT B. LED Streetlight Fixtures for Kensington Business Center FIXTURES, 1) Request motion to rescind award to Precision Products Plus, Inc. in the amount of $31,050 KENSINGTON for 54 "shoebox" style LED streetlight fixtures. BUSINESS CENTER 2) Request motion to waive rules for public bidding and award a contract for the purchase of 54 Philips Hadco LED streetlight fixtures to Graybar Electric of Glendale Heights, Illinois ' Public Works Director Sean Dorsey presented background information and staff recommendation. On November 16, 2010, the Village Board awarded a contract to Precision Products Plus, Montclair, California for the purchase of 54 lighting emitted diode (LED) streetlight fixtures. The fixtures were for installation on Village -owned streetlight poles in the Kensington Business Center. The entire purchase was facilitated by two (2) energy efficiency grants. The Village placed its first order with Precision Products in January of 2011; since then, Precision Products has shipped product on four (4) separate occasions. All shipments have been rejected due to numerous product quality and design issues. The most recent shipment of May 18, 2012 did not arrive on time and was found to have several defects as well. It is the opinion of staff that Precision Products Plus is incapable of designing, manufacturing and delivering an acceptable LED retrofit street light fixture suitable as a roadway light in the Kensington Business Center. Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Mount Prospect Page 9 of 11 Mayor and Board of Trustees June 5, 2012 of the Village of Mount Prospect Mr. Dorsey stated since 2010 the LED light industry has made significant advances in technology and product offerings. Due to the unacceptable product from Precision Products Plus staff researched and found several lights that satisfy the American Resource Recovery Act (ARRA) "Buy American" purchasing provisions stipulated in the Village's energy grants. Mr. Dorsey stated staff obtained and installed samples of the lowest cost alternative, the Phillips Hadco light. Staff believe the Phillips Hadco light performed best during field testing. However, due to the increased cost of the Phillips Hadco light and that it utilizes a little more energy than the original Precision Products Plus light, the grant money does not cover the full cost of the project; a deficit of $14,615.35 exists between total project material costs and available grant funding. He noted that per the terms of the grant awards the lights need to be installed by August 2012. Mr. Dorsey stated the benefits of making the additional investment of Village funds would be returned in 3.9 years through electrical savings. Staff requests Village Board approval to 1) rescind the award to Precision Products Plus and 2) waive the rules for public bidding and award a contract for the purchase of 54 Phillips Hadco LED streetlight fixtures to Graybar Electric in amount not to exceed $39,150. In response to questions from the Village Board Mr. Dorsey provided the following: -Life expectancy of lights — 20+ years. -Lights to be installed by Public Works staff -Lights are full cut -off; adjustable. -Lights are LED white; high pressured sodium white with yellowish tint Village Board Comments -Staff recommendation based on good cost /benefit analysis. -Staff did technical research and obtained pricing from various manufacturers. -Precision Products Plus not meeting Village standards. -Color of light very important. -Installation will take approximately three (3) weeks Trustee Hoefert recommended the Village discuss and establish lighting standards; currently mixture of light colors. Trustee Zadel, seconded by Trustee Matuszak, moved to rescind award to Precision Products Plus, Inc. of Mountclair, California in the amount of $31,050 for 54 "shoebox" style LED streetlight fixtures.
