4. DISCUSSION ITEMS
4.1 New Police Headquarters Construction Manager Presentations and Discussion
Building & Inspection Services Deputy Director Mark Rysavy stated the Village issued
a request for proposal (RFP) for Construction Management Service for the new Police
Headquarters to be located at 799 Biermann Court in anticipation of the purchase and
design. A Construction Manager (CM) delivery method allows for the CM to be part of
the project team early in the design process, continually pricing and budgeting ideas
and concepts to remain on budget throughout the project. In addition, this method is
known as CM at risk because at some point in the design process, the CM will provide
a guaranteed maximum price for the project. The RFP identified specific requirements
for qualifications, the evaluation criteria, and a request for a separate cost proposal.
The fee proposals were to be based upon a 15 month construction schedule, a lengthy
list of set general conditions, and $21.5 million construction budget.
Mr. Rysavy stated there were seven (7) responses and provided an overview of the
evaluation criteria. Staff narrowed the seven (7) proposals to three (3) firms to be
interviewed, Riley Construction, Nicholas and Associates, and Camosy Construction.
Staff was unanimous in their choice of Camosy Construction for the project, however,
staff also recognized the opportunity to have a local CM, Nicholas and Associates,
participate in the project. It was set that the Village Board would hear presentations
from Camosy Construction and Nicholas and Associates to determine direction on

which firm staff should hire as the CM for the new Police Headquarters. However,
Nicholas and Associates withdrew their proposal today.
Camosy Construction presented to the Village Board. The presentation included an
overview of their team, qualifications and pertinent experience.
The following responses from Camosy Construction and staff were provided to
questions from the Village Board:
Camosy is able to supplement a subcontractor if they have a manpower
shortage.
Camosy has experience working with FGM Architects.
3D laser scan the entire building to have an up-to-date and precise layout of
the structure.
Camosy uses building information modelling for collision avoidance of
systems.
Subcontractors go through a prequalification process and the lowest
responsible bidder is selected.
The RFP set a 15 month construction window in order to receive comparable
pricing.
Camosy would work with staff for project communications and social media
updates.
Camosy shared an example of an adaptive reuse project where they crushed
concrete on site, created a stockpile on site, and did not have to purchase or
haul the material.
A General Contractor is given the building plans and total price. If a General
Contractor’s bid is over budget then the project would be too. While a
Construction Manager is hired prior to the building plans and works with the
client to meet the set project budget.

Staff will prepare a summary memo explaining why an interview from the 3 most
qualified firm is not necessary due to their substantially lower proposal evaluation
score and higher cost proposal.
4.2 Redevelopment Potential of Downtown Block 56, bounded by Northwest Hwy,
Emerson St, Busse Ave, and Maple Street.
Village Manager Cassady stated staff has discussed seeking proposals from the
design and development community for Block 56 with the redevelopment of Public
Safety Building. In addition, the building at 111 E. Busse Avenue “Chase Bank
Building” is under receivership and this building is often the topic of redevelopment
discussion. The request for proposals process will help staff, the Village Board, and
the community understand the redevelopment potential from a market perspective. A
RFP for Block 56 would only be released if the Village Board gives direction to move
forward with the acquisition of 111 E. Rand Road for the purposes of a new Fire Station
Headquarters/Station #13.

Suggested to discuss this topic in closed session before further discussing it in open
session.

The Downtown Plan is high level and provides general guidance. A request for
proposals would be for specific lots and what is market possible. Rumors on social
media of the whole block being redeveloped could negatively impact businesses.
Yulia Bjekic

Inquired if the Village had guidelines on what the community wants to have on Block
56.

Property owners were not informed; instead the Village told renters they are moving.
Concerned that staff went to renters first instead of property owners and now they may
lose their renters.
The following responses from staff were provided to questions from the Village Board
and Public:
There was an article in yesterday’s paper discussing redevelopment of Block
56. Staff tried to get ahead of the article to ensure businesses no action is being
taken and the focus is on the Public Safety Building lot.
The request for proposal for design concepts will focus on Lot 1 “Public Safety
Building” and Lot 2 “Chase Bank Building” to start the conversation and test
the market environment.
4.3 Farmers’ Market and Car Show Relocation
Village Manager Cassady presented that the Farmers’ Market and Car Show will be
relocated from the West Commuter lot to the East Commuter lot starting the first
weekend in June.
Public Comment
Fred Steinmiller
Mount Prospect Lions Club
Mr. Steinmiller explained the planning process for the Farmers Market and shared
concerns with moving the market to the East Commuter lot. He asked if a fence could
be installed between the parking lot and train tracks like there is in the West Commuter
Lot. He also expressed concerns about visibility of the market from Main St/Rte. 83
and explained dynamics of market traffic and draw from other communities. He asked
if the townhomes across from the East Commuter lot are aware of the move with
respect to the Car Show because of the noise from live music and increased traffic.
David Schein
Na Wa Ta Ave
Asked if the Mount Prospect Chamber of Commerce was involved in moving the Car
Show and Farmers Market. He expressed concern regarding how the change would
impact Farmers’ Market vendors.

Dawn Fletcher Collins
Executive Director Mount Prospect Chamber of Commerce
She stated the Chamber worked with the Lions Club on this relocation. Business
owners expressed concerns regarding lack of parking for patrons during the Car Show
and Farmers’ Market.
Assistant to the Village Manager Nellie Beckner explained that switching from the West
Commuter lot to the East Commuter lot was planned last year with the Farmers’ Market
closing out the 2017 season in the East Commuter lot. The Village, Chamber of
Commerce, Downtown Merchants Association and the Lions Club participated in this
decision. Development of 20 West eliminates parking previously used by the Car
Show and Farmers’ Market. Additionally, with new businesses in Clock Tower strip
center and MP Station completed there is much more competition for parking near the
West Commuter lot. The East Commuter Lot is near the Maple Street Lot, Chase
Building Lot, has access to parking along Prospect Ave and on-street parking north of
Northwest Hwy. Plus, pedestrians would be able to cross Northwest Hwy at Emerson
St and benefit from a traffic signal.
5. MANAGER’S REPORT
None.
6. ANY OTHER BUSINESS
None.
