Mr. Janonis stated that in areas of technology the bid process does not allow for
the flexibility and financial negotiations beneficial in securing the level and
quality of services that best meet the Village's needs.
,
IT Director Joan Middleton provided a summary of the current Category 4
network cabling. She stated the network cabling is inadequate and network
speeds at Police and Fire headquarters are noticeably slower than at the other
municipal buildings. The Category 4 cabling capabilities are also well below
industry standards.
/--...
Ms. Middleton recommended the rewiring project be awarded to Advent
Systems, Inc. using Category 6 data cables.
The Village Board asked several questions regarding future network needs and
if any steps could be taken now to address those needs. Assistant Village
Manager Dave Strahl responded, the next step would be to evaluate the use of
wireless networks. Mr. Strahl stated the Village is not prepared to go wireless
at this time. He added that security features necessary for wireless would need
to be in place before moving to wireless communication.
Trustee Lohrstorfer, seconded by Trustee Zadel, moved to approve the request
to waive the bid process and award the contract to rewire voice and data cabling
in the Police and Fire headquarters to Advent Systems, Inc. in an amount not to
exceed $62,101.
Upon roll call: Ayes: Hoefert, Korn, Lohrstorfer, Skowron, Zadel

Motion carried.
Mr. Janonis stated the Public Works Department recommended the rejection of
the bids for the pit pipe repainting project at 117 North Waverly Place. Public
Works Director Glen Andler presented background information regarding the
project and staff's recommendation to reject the bid.
~,
Mr. Andler stated, only two (2) contractors submitted bid proposals for the
project, both of which were well above Engineer's estimate of $12,500 for
repainting of the valve pit pipes. And, Public Works staff did not believe the bids
were competitive. Believing pricing for this project would be more competitive if
the scope of work was larger, Mr. Andler stated it was staff's recommendation to
incorporate this project with the next year's tank painting project at Booster
Station 11.
Trustee Skowron, seconded by Trustee Zadel, moved to approve the request
to reject bids for Booster Station No. 4 Pit Pipe Repainting Project at 117 North
Waverly Place.
