Village Board Meeting Minutes October 20, 2015
The Village of Mount Prospect has contracted for sectional plowing services for the last five (5) winter
seasons; the last two (2) seasons with Maxx Contractors of Des Plaines. The first three seasons of
contractual section plowing, performed by a different contractor, were plagued by significant quality
issues; failure to perform, tardiness and poor performance which generated a number of resident
complaints regarding snow plow operations.
Based on the superior performance of Maxx Contractors staff made the decision to secure a price
proposal from Maxx Contractors to continue providing snow and ice control services. The proposal price
of $117,100 represents a 40% increase over the last contract period. Cost increase is reflected by: 1)
added plowing of 11 Village owned parking lot; 32.2% of increase and 2) base cost for section plowing
increased for snow totals from 45 inches to 55 inches. Staff recommend the Village Board accept the
proposal as submitted by Maxx Contractors Corp of Des Plaines for specified snow removal and ice
control services for the 2015-2018 winter seasons in an amount not to exceed $117,100 in 2016.
Mr. Dorsey provided the following in response to questions from the Village Board:
2017 and 2018 winter seasons contractual amounts to be approved by Village Board.
Three (3) year contract with clause allowing for termination.
Contractor understands timing, need for additional personnel and equipment.
Important contractor is local response time.
Downtown clean-up depends on amount of snow.
Significant reduction in resident complaints with Maxx Contractors.
Contractor has excellent safety record.
Village Board Comments
Not comfortable putting sole source contract on consent; important for public to know why staff
recommend proposal.
Snow removal services almost in the category of special service contract.
Staff made responsible request; however unless you to go out for bid it is hard to determine if
proposal is the best price.
At the end of three (3) year contract; time to go out to market place for competitive bidding.
Public Works should have ability to negotiate service contract.
Trustee Zadel, seconded by Trustee Polit, moved to accept proposal for contractual snow plow services
in an amount not to exceed $117,100.
Upon roll call: Ayes: Hoefert, Matuszak, Polit, Rogers, Saccotelli, Zadel
Nays: None
Motion carried.

B. Motion to accept proposal for the purchase and installation of eight automated parking machines in an
amount not to exceed $99,933.
Village Manager Mike Cassady provided background information, project proposal and staff
recommendation.
In 2004 automated pay machines were installed at three (3) muter lots. The
current machines have reached their ten (10) year life expectancy; parts have not been manufactured for
the last five years.
page 5 of 7
Village Board Meeting Minutes October 20, 2015
The current software used in the machines is outdated and no longer maintained by the vendor. Daily
payment processing or usage data must be manually collected at the pay machines; once collected all
payments must be processed manually.
The Village sent proposals to three (3) vendors for purchase, installation and two (2) year-maintenance of
eight automated commuter pay machines. All three (3) companies submitted responsive proposals.
nd
Parkeon, Inc. submitted the second (2) lowest proposal with a cost of $90,848. When considering
annual costs associated with the machines in years three (3) through ten (10) Parkeon is significantly
cheaper over the life of the machine when compared to the other two (2) vendors. The proposed
machines represent a significant upgrade utilizing cellular technology to operate; limiting the need to store
transactions locally. All new operating systems will be accessible through a cellular network making
parking transactions, financial/data information and critical alarms or errors reporting in real time. The new
machines accept cash/coin payments and credit/debit payments from a bank issued card. In addition the
Village will implement a pay by phone application.
Staff recommend approval of the proposal submitted by Parkeon, Inc. for the installation and
maintenance of eight (8) automated machines. The total recommended award for the contract is in an
amount not to exceed $99,933; includes 10% contingency of $9,085 for unanticipated conflicts related to
the removal and installation of the new machines.
Mr. Dorsey provided the following in response to questions from the Village Board:
New machines cloud based.
Funding permit parking program
Currently lines and transaction time inconvenient to use; new machines transaction time 12-15
seconds.
Permit parking is very successful.
Information regarding new pay machines will be available in advance of roll-out; flyers; website and at
machines.
Machines are programmable; Mount Prospect machines will be for daily use.
No ability to sell permits at machines.
Machines have been tested in cold weather environments life of machines has been greater than
ten (10) years.
Village Board Comments
Ability to use phone for payment game changer.
Utilize data base of permit holders to share information about the machines.
Support recommendation to purchase automated pay machines.
Trustee Zadel, seconded by Trustee Rogers, moved to accept proposal for the purchase and installation
of eight automated parking machines in an amount not to exceed $99,933.
Upon roll call: Ayes: Hoefert, Matuszak, Polit, Rogers, Saccotelli, Zadel
