PROCESS Public Works Director Sean Dorsey presented background information and staff recommendation. The propose Combined Sewer System Evaluation Study (CSSES). Since 2005 the rehabilitation work has resulted in the elimination of the worst defects - 100% of both Category 4 and proposed project features 5,899 24 diameter along with the televising and cleaning of approximately 65,000 lineal feet of sewers. Visu-Sewer of Illinois, LLC, Bridgeview is the apparent low bidder and provided all the necessary material and references as outlined in the bid specification. Visu-Sewer has done work in the past for the Village and their work has been satisfactory and timely. Staff recommend the contract be awarded to the low bidder Visu-Sewer of Illinois, LLC, Bridgeview in an amount not to exceed $447,341; this amount includes a 10% contingency of $40,667.10 to cover any unforeseen expenses. In response to a question regarding the patent on the CIPP Mr. Dorsey stated for many years Insituform had the patent for this process.

Trustee Korn, seconded by Trustee Matuszak, moved for approval of request to award contract to Visu-Sewer of Illinois, LLC, Bridgeview for 2013 sewer repairs using cured-in- place-pipe (CIPP) process in an amount not to exceed $447,341; includes contingency of $40,677.10.

Minutes of the Regular Meeting Page 6 of 9 May 7, 2013 of the Mayor and Board of Trustees of the Village of Mount Prospect Public Works Director Sean Dorsey presented background information and staff recommendation. Mr. Dorsey stated sewer line spot relay repairs are also proposed for certain defects identified in the 2004 sewer evaluation. Some sewer pipe segments have significant structural defects that can only be effectively repaired by excavating and replacing segments of sewer main (spot relays.) The Sewer Line Spot Relay bid package was drafted to procure the services of a sewer excavation contractor capable of replacing structurally failed pipe. twenty-two (22) point repairs. Mr. Dorsey stated the apparent low bidder for the proposed spot relay work is Suburban General Construction, LaGrange Park. Suburban General met all bid requirements and has previously done work for the Village; all work has been without issues and timely. Staff recommend the contract be awarded to the low bidder, Suburban General Construction, LaGrange Park in an amount not to exceed $261,965; this amount includes a 10% contingency of $23,815. (As bid quantities are estimates and actual field measures will vary staff recommend the 10% contingency.) In response to questions from the Village Board Mr. Dorsey provided the following: Remove bad section manhole to manhole and then line entire section. Will maximize the amount of work completed if contingency money not used. On one occasion many years ago a section of the completed work failed; the responsible contractor made repairs without additional cost. Village does routine TV inspection of sewer lines. Trustee Hoefert, seconded by Trustee Zadel, moved for approval of request to award contract to Suburban General Construction for 2013 sewer line spot repairs in an amount not to exceed $261,965; includes contingency of $23,815. Upon roll call: Ayes: Hoefert, Korn, Matuszak, Polit, Rogers, Zadel Nays: None Motion carried. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES C. Motion to accept proposal for the 2013 CIPP and sewer line spot repair projects construction engineering services in an amount not to exceed $54,070. Public Works Director Sean Dorsey presented background information and staff recommendation. Due to the scale of the Combined Sewer System Evaluation Study (CSSES) (cured-in-place- pipelining (CIPP) and spot relay repair) a multi-million dollar and multi-year effort, staff recommends the use of an engineering consultant part-time to assist Village staff in the oversight of the program. Baxter & Woodman Consulting Engineers, firm who prepared the initial CSSES study and provided construction engineering services for 2012 CIPP and Spot Relay project has also provided similar services in each of the previous seven (7) years. In 2012 the Village Board expressed concerns that the Village may not be receiving the most competitive pricing from consultants that have been on a project year after year. As part of the 2013 CSSES staff prepared a Request for Proposal (RFP) for engineering services for both the CIPP project and spot relay repairs. Staff solicited three (3) area firms with expertise in the areas of inspecting cured-in-place pipelining and in the area of construction monitoring of sewer repairs; two (2) proposal were received. The price difference between the proposal from the two (2) firms was $846. While both firms are capable of performing the work, Baxter & Woodman has more experience with the Minutes of the Regular Meeting Page 7 of 9 May 7, 2013 of the Mayor and Board of Trustees of the Village of Mount Prospect The small pricing difference is made up by their experience and timely completion of the yearly projects. Mr. Dorsey stated due to the economy of scale staff believe there is value in continue to work with Baxter & Woodman. Staff recommend the continued use of consulting engineer, Baxter & Woodman on a part- time basis and to add a $5,000 contingency to the cover the engineering services for additional liners or spot relay repairs; total amount not to exceed $54,070. Village Board Comments The practice of going with the same provider when a lower proposal has been submitted may discourage other firms from submitting proposals. At what cost difference does the Village decide to shift from incumbent. Cannot support staff recommendation in previous decision staff recommended going with the lowest qualified bidder over a local business despite the nominal price difference. 2012 discussion - prompted staff to go out for pricing to see if Village was in fact getting the best pricing from a single source. Low bidder was qualified difficult to support recommendation to go with higher proposal.. Professional services money not always the final determination; expertise/history/quality of work. Village does not award a bid because it is a Mount Prospect business; bid award based on the lowest qualified bid submitted. State of Illinois code recognizes the difference between bids for commodities and proposals for professional services. Federal contracts no sealed bids; look for best value through negotiated pricing. Professional service contract look for the best value; price/quality of service provided. Need to ensure equal standards for RFP; careful not to always choose incumbent. Consider using RFQ (request for qualifications) than develop RFP; utilize professional score sheet. In response to questions from the Village Board regarding the recommendation to go with the higher proposal Mr. Dorsey reviewed the purpose of going out for an RFP for this particular service; testing the market. As there were several references to the professional services RFP as a bid Mr. Dorsey noted the distinction between an RFP and a bid; a RFP looks at both price and ability to perform. He highlighted the value and advantages to awarding the contract to Baxter and Woodman. Trustee Zadel stated, in accordance with the ethical standards of an elected official he would recuse from this vote. (Baxter and Woodman has performed work for his employer.) Trustee Hoefert, seconded by Trustee Zadel, moved for approval of request to accept proposal for the 2013 CIPP and sewer line spot repair projects construction engineering services in an amount not to exceed $54,070.
