ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT SERVICES FOR 2-40 N. MAIN STREET
The Village is currently pursuing the demolition of the Central Plaza Shopping Center located at 2-40 N. Main
Street to eliminate existing property maintenance issues that have not been addressed. The Village has had to
pursue the demolition order because no person or entity has come forward to claim ownership of the property
and therefore responsibility for addressing these issues. In order to fully evaluate the current condition of the
property and to strategize our next steps in possibly acquiring the property, the Village is pursuing a Phase II
Environmental Assessment.
PROPOSALS
A Request for Proposals (RFP) was sent out on January 23, 2015 to environmental contractors who specialize in
environmental assessments. Six (6) firms were solicited for this work and five (5) responded by the February 6,
2015 deadline.
The following proposals were received:
DISCUSSION
The lowest cost proposal was from Environmental Consulting Group, Inc. (ECG) in the amount of $9,970.
Unfortunately this proposal did not fully address all of the components of the RFP and provided for a more
limited scope of work on key components of the RFP.
The next lowest cost proposal which was submitted by Tetra Tech addressed all components of the RFP. Tetra
Tech also demonstrated that they have extensive experience with similar projects throughout the area.
Therefore, staff is recommending that the Village award the contract to the lowest, responsive proposal, Tetra
Tech.
The work will be scheduled to begin in the next few weeks with a final report completed by mid-March..
RECOMMENDATION
The following two recommendations are being made:
1. That the Village Board reject the proposal submitted by ECG as non-responsive to the RFP documents.
2. That the Village Board award the environmental site assessment services contract to the lowest,
responsive proposal, Tetra Tech in an amount not to exceed $24,774.
Please forward this memorandum and attachments to the Village Board for their review and discussion at the
February 17th Village Board meeting.
