VILLAGE MANAGER'S REPORT
Village Manager Michael Janonis stated the Public Works Department was
requesting approval to accept bid for repair and sealing of the Police and Fire
parking garage and deck.
Public Works Director Glen Andler provided background information on the
request for repairs and sealing of the Police and Fire parking structure. In April
of 2005 Desman Associates inspected the condition and made recommendations
to repair the 1 O-year old structure. The two (2) major failures of the of the upper
deck, joint seal failures and concrete deterioration, allowed water to enter the
lower level causing concrete spalling of the support structures and corrosion to
metal surfaces throughout the lower level. The scope of the recommended
repair work will extend the longevity of the parking structure.
Mr. Andler responded to questions from the Village Board regarding the rust and
popping rods associated with the existing condition of the parking structure.
Noting that the parking garage/deck was overall still structurally sound, Mr. Andler
stated the repairs will eliminate the existing problems.
Trustee Corcoran, seconded by Trustee Skowron, moved to approve the request
to accept bid from Desman Associates for repair and sealing of Police and Fire
parking garage and deck in an amount not to exceed $171,075.

Upon roll call: Ayes: Corcoran, Hoefert, Korn Lohrstorfer, Skowron
Nays: None
Motion carried.
Mayor Pro Tem Zadel stated the Public Works Department was also seeking
approval to accept the proposal for Disinfectant By-Products Rule Stage 2
(DPBR/Stage 2) Compliance and Hydraulic Water Modeling Project.
Deputy Public Works Director Sean Dorsey provided background information on
the DBPR/Stage 2, a federal rule promulgated by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). The law requires water providers to
identify, and if necessary, take steps to minimize the presence of disinfection by-
products in drinking water. Disinfection by-products occur in drinking water as a
consequence of the decomposition of chlorine.
Initially, the Village must develop a disinfection by-products water sampling plan.
Samples will have to be collected from four (4) separate sites in the distribution
system once each quarter over the next several years. If the concentrations of
disinfection by-products exceed certain USEPA-mandated action levels, the
Village is required to take corrective action to reduce contaminant levels.
To comply with USEPA requirements, Request for Proposals (RFPs) were
developed to secure the services of a qualified engineering consultant capable of
creating a detailed hydraulic model of the existing Village-owned water
distribution system, assisting with USEPA compliance documentation, and
recommendations to eliminate disinfection by-products or improve the operation
of the water distribution system.
Mr. Dorsey stated staff recommends acceptance of the lowest cost proposal as
submitted by Burns & McDowell in an amount not to exceed $202,216. He
added, Burns & McDonnell, possess sufficient experience and the resources
necessary to perform the proposed project scheduled to begin fall of 2006 with
completion at the end of 2007.
Mr. Dorsey responded to comments and questions from the Village Board and
citizens including the following issues related to the DBPR Stage 2 Compliance
and Hydraulic Water Modeling Project.
· Improvements to the Village's water system have been made over the
last 30 years, taking steps to ensure water quality.
The Village's water system remains in good shape and there has never
been a problem with water quality in Mount Prospect. However, the
USEPA has reported incidents of residents in other communities falling ill
due to poor water quality.
· Are private water companies subject to the same USEPA requirements
and are they required to share the information with the community?
Private water companies must also comply with the USEPA regulations.
The Village could ask the private water company to provide the
information.
· How will the model be calibrated?
The model will be tweaked until it mirrors field flow tests.
