Information
In 2007, the Village began to take steps to evaluate the condition and suitability of the existing Station 13 Fire/Police
Headquarters at 112 E. Northwest Hwy. In 2016, a new study was initiated due to the deteriorating conditions of the
existing Police Headquarters building. In addition to feedback from Police staff, the Village hired FGM Architects to
complete a Space Needs Study. A final draft of this report was completed in November 2017 and shared with the
Village Board. Some of the concerns highlighted in the study include:
?Lack of Space. The study indicates that approximately 81,000 square feet would be required for a standalone
police station, based upon changes in police operations, information technology needs, and accessibility. The
current portion of the Public Safety Building devoted to the police department is 33,416 square feet on three
levels.
?Lack of parking. The study recommends a minimum of 177 parking spaces for a standalone police station. The
current station has 165 shared spaces for police, fire and customers; a significant portion of these parking
spaces are located within an underground garage which has maintenance concerns directly impacting the use of
the facility and damaging Village vehicles.
In addition to the design flaws in the existing building, there are budgeted maintenance expenses which are
significant. Many of these expenses have been deferred for the last several years as we studied the possibility of a
new facility. Here are some examples:
?2019 Budget: Garage sprinkler replacement: $105,000
?2019 Budget: Parking deck structural repairs: $623,000
?2019 Budget: Window replacement: $230,000
?2020 Budget: Repair garage roof drains/remove planter: $255,000
?2020 Budget: Building tuckpointing: $100,000
TOTAL: $1,313,000
It is clear that there are improvements that must be completed to have a modern, functioning police headquarters.
These concerns were highlighted at the November 28, 2017 Committee of the Whole meeting, which discussed the
Space Needs Study as well as noting the conditions of the current police station headquarters. The Space Needs Study
examined a potential remodel of the existing building, as well as the option of a new location somewhere in the Village
for either a stand-along police station or a combined police/fire building. Due to the current conditions of the police

BoardDocs® ProPage 2 of 4
headquarters, financial analysis and availability of suitable real estate, a stand-alone police station makes the most
sense moving forward.
In follow up to the Study, the Village evaluated several locations which met minimum criteria: Size of parcel (to
ensure the building could be feasibly constructed on the site) and location (to ensure the site is accessible to all areas
of the Village within a reasonable amount of time). Staff analyzed several locations on Central Road, Rand Road,
Dempster Avenue and within the Kensington Business Center District.
Support for 799 Biermann Court
Staff is recommending acquisition of the industrial building located at 799 Biermann Court in the Kensington Business
Center for a price of $5,120,431 inclusive of property tax proration. This property satisfies all of the specifications
suggested in the Space Needs Study in relation to site area and location. In addition, 799 Biermann is on the market
at a reasonable price, and has an existing building in very good condition which is an appropriate size and layout,
creating a good opportunity for adaptive reuse.
799 Biermann Court is located within Kensington Business Center, and is an end parcel on a cul-de-sac. However, this
lot also fronts on Kensington Road, an IDOT roadway which allows quick access to Rand Road. Although police
maintains presence throughout the Village at all times, there are certain emergency situations that would require
immediate response from officers stationed at the headquarters. The Police Chief has confirmed that this proposed
location is excellent with regard to anticipated response should this type of incident occur. Staff has approached IDOT
to determine if access to Kensington Road would be permitted. IDOT staff indicated that they will work with us to
permit the driveway access for Police business.
The size and good condition of the Biermann Court property is the potential for adaptive reuse of the existing building.
Built in 1982, this 103,126 square foot building has been well maintained and has adequate space for current police
operations as well as room for potential growth. Its existing high ceiling heights (24 feet) and skylights provide design
opportunities that would cost significantly more to build into a new construction project today.
The building’s flexibility in design allows for the following key components to a successful police headquarters: barrier
free communication, modern training facilities, and efficient and safe layout for everyday processes. One of the
greatest communication and morale hindrances in a police facility is administration and operations being separated.
This building would ensure that all law enforcement functions are located on the same floor. In addition, a single-floor
design allows for realistic firearms training where a vehicle can be driven into the firing range. From a practical
process improvement standpoint, an at-grade evidence garage allows for a flatbed to deliver an evidentiary motor
vehicle, which is impossible in an underground evidence garage. The proposed internal layout of the facility will allow
for greater separation of witnesses and victims from offenders, something lacking in the Village’s current
headquarters.
Anticipated Costs
Preliminary construction cost estimates provided in the Space Needs Study for a completely new Police Station of this
size were in the range of $32 million dollars, not including land purchase, furniture, equipment, or design fees. By
performing an adaptive reuse of the existing building at 799 Biermann, the Village expects the construction costs to
be in the range of $22 million dollars. This estimated savings of $10 million will be realized through the reuse of the
existing building foundations and exterior walls; the existing steel roof structure; the existing roof deck, insulation,
and roofing. In addition, the existing electrical, plumbing, mechanical and fire protection services; and the existing
site components like pavement, curbs, and stormwater systems can all be reused and are suitable for the proposed
use. The reuse of all these components and systems would not only save on material costs, but also labor, excavation,
site preparation, and haul away costs. The majority of the site is expected to be mostly untouched, while the building
itself would likely require cosmetic facade changes to about 2/3 of the exterior. The north elevation will be redesigned
and reconstructed to add architectural design features appropriate for a municipal police headquarters.
While the cost estimates detailed above are preliminary, they have been provided by contractors that specialize in
Police Station construction within the Chicagoland market. Typically a project of this scope would take 12 to 15
months to construct, with the initial goal of breaking ground in late 2018 or early 2019.
Due Diligence
The purchase of this property has several items of note, as the building is currently in use. First and foremost, it’s
important to note the purchase contract is written and agreed upon by the buyer with a forty-five (45) day due
diligence period, which includes a clause that allows the Village to terminate the contract at the Village Board’s
discretion. During this due diligence period, Staff will be working on several items associated with the property. There
is a tenant (Advocate Health Care) currently utilizing approximately half of the building’s square footage. Staff will be
meeting with Advocate to discuss their lease, and also evaluate relocation options in Mount Prospect. CVS, the subject
property’s neighbor immediately west of the site, currently has a lease for 70 parking spaces on the 799 Biermann
Court property. It is staff’s intention to work with CVS to continue this lease, due to a shortage of parking for their
facility at 800 Biermann Court. A concept is being developed to construct additional parking on site to facilitate this
need. The Village will also complete Phase I Environmental Report with True North during this due diligence period.
Architectural Design and Construction
https://www.boarddocs.com/il/vomp/Board.nsf/Private?open&login6/21/2018
BoardDocs® ProPage 3 of 4
The Village will be working with FGM Architects to prepare concept plans and elevations, which will be used for the
planned public open house on March 27 and upcoming Committee of the Whole and Board meetings. The goal is to
have a preliminary interior building layout completed, along with two possible exterior designs for the building. One
design would be a traditional masonry design that looks like many municipal buildings throughout the metro area. The
second design is meant to provide a more modern exterior design that includes metal panel and glass, mixed with
stone and brick. Neither of these designs will be final, but will provide a basis for discussion on the major concepts for
exterior design moving forward.
In addition, several examples of interior spaces will be provided for our existing Police Station versus what those same
spaces would look like in a modern facility.
Although FGM will help assist the Village with concept plans, an RFP for architectural services will be released March 7.
In addition to an RFP for architectural services, the Village will also release an RFP for a construction manager – (at
risk) on March 7. Submittals from both architects and construction managers are expected back before the end of
March, and the results of this process will be presented to the Board on the April 10 Committee of the Whole meeting.
The architect and construction manager play a significant role in keeping costs in line throughout the design process
by working hand in hand with Staff to balance the value of the space within the building without exceeding cost
expectations.
Financing Plan
Staff has been working with the Village’s financial advisor PMA on a funding plan for the purchase and construction of
a new police headquarters at 799 Biermann Court. The plan will be structured to ensure the current tax levy plan is
not impacted/increased. Elements of the plan include the refinancing of callable Series 2009 bonds, use of capitalized
interest, and the planned drawdown of excess reserves. The refinancing of the Series 2009 bonds will be consistent
with past practice where the amortization schedule of the refunded bonds will not extend beyond that of the original
issue. Savings will be front loaded to allow capacity for the new debt. The new debt is expected to be issued in
October 2018 and amortized over a period of twenty-five years at an estimated interest rate of 3.99%. Depending on
possible future debt financing needs of the Library, the planned drawdown of excess reserves is between $650K and
$2.1 million. This approach allows this critical project to move forward without raising property taxes.
Included with this memo is a preliminary schedule of principal and interest for the Series 2018 bonds along with
savings as a result of the Series 2009 bond refinancing and annual change in debt service.
Alternatives
1. Adopt the Ordinance authorizing the acquisition of 799 Biermann Court for the purposes of a future police
headquarters.
2. Action at discretion of Village Board.
Staff Recommendation
The issues with the current Police Headquarters have been documented both through the Space Needs Study and
through the details of everyday experiences of our officers and staff. The 799 Biermann Court property provides an
opportunity to cure a critical limitation of our current facility. The adaptive re-use of the building allows for significant
savings when compared to constructing a new building, and is an ideal fit for a modern police headquarters. Staff
recommends approval of the ordinance in support of the contract to purchase 799 Biermann Court.
