VILLAGE MANAGER'S REPORT 9.1 A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE VILLAGE MANAGER TO SIGN AN INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH THE NORTHWEST WATER COMMISSION AND THE NORTHWEST SUBURBAN MUNICIPAL JOINT ACTION WATER AGENCY FOR THE CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF AN EMERGENCY WATER SYSTEM INTERCONNECTION 3 Director of Public Works Sean Dorsey presented a resolution authorizing the Village Manager to sign an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Northwest Water Commission (NWC) and the Northwest Suburban Municipal Joint Action Water Agency (NSMJAWA), the source for Village water, regarding the construction and operation of an emergency water system interconnection. Mr. Dorsey stated the proposed interconnection will be constructed on Elmhurst Avenue between Kensington and Highland Street. A NWC transmission main in the Kensington Road rights -way will be tapped and connect to existing NSMJAWA transmission mains located in the Elmhurst Avenue and Highland Street rigts-of-way. Mr. Dorsey explained how the proposed interconnection would function. The interconnection allows NWC the ability to deliver up to 7 million gallons of water per day to the Village, and the NSMJAWA can deliver similar amounts to NWC if needed. Mr. Dorsey displayed a diagram of this concept. Mr. Dorsey discussed the cost distribution for this project. Preliminary costs are based on the concept the Village will pay for elements of the project that will benefit the Village such as piping, air gap connects, valves and pump station. Similarly, the NWC will pay for elements that specifically pertain to their portion of the project. Costs that are common will be shared between NWC and the Village. The preliminary estimate of the Village's cost is approximately $4.1 million and the NWC will be responsible for approximately $1.7 million. The total cost of the project is $5.7 million. The Village will utilize revenue from the American Rescue Plan to fund our portion of the project. If all parties approve the project and agreement, Phase II design should be completed by early next year. The project is expected to be completed in one construction year. However, delays in securing and the delivery of materials may alter this timeline. Mr. Dorsey stated the NSMJAWA executive board has already approved the agreement and the NWC will consider the agreement at their next regularly scheduled meeting on October 12, 2022. Mr. Dorsey stated staff recommends approval of the subject resolution and intergovernmental agreement. Due to the involvement of multiple agencies, Mr. Dorsey stated there is a possibly of some minor changes to the agreement and requests approval for the Village Manager to use his discretion and accept changes without bringing this back to the Board for approval. There was no discussion. Motion by Colleen Saccotelli, second by Richard Rogers to approve the resolution as presented: Yea: Agostino Filippone, Terri Gens, John Matuszak, Richard Rogers, Colleen Saccotelli, Michael Zadel Nay: None Final Resolution: Notion Passed Resolution No. 31-22 9.2 Motion to accept bid for construction of the Lincoln-WeGo Sewer Relief Station Rehabilitation project in an amount not to exceed $541,376. Mr. Dorsey provided background information, bid results and staff recommendation for the construction of the Lincoln-WeGo Sewer Relief Rehabilitation project. 4 Mr. Dorsey stated bids were received for this project from Marc Kresmery Construction ($524,160) and Martam Construction ($526,710). Mr. Dorsey stated both firms are well- respected. Marc Kresmery submitted the lowest cost, responsive bid. Kresmery has performed work in the Village previously, completing rehabilitation of the Louis Street Relief Station and the William Street Relief Station. Kresmery has also performed similar work in other communities. Mr. Dorsey stated staff is confident they will complete this project satisfactorily. Mr. Dorsey stated the bid submitted by Kresmery was higher than the engineer's estimate. The engineer's estimate was based on the most recent relief station completed in 2021. Staff attributed the cost difference to an error in the calculation of the engineer's estimate. Rising material costs, lead-time and scope -of -work differences warrant a higher cost estimate. Mr. Dorsey stated the bid submitted by Kresmery is reasonable. Mr. Dorsey stated staff recommends approval of the subject project for an amount not to exceed $54,376.00, which includes a 100/0 contingency. A brief discussion followed. Motion by Richard Rogers, second by Michael Zadel to approve the subject motion: Yea: Agostino Filippone, Terri Gens, John Matuszak, Richard Rogers, Colleen Saccotelli, Michael Zadel Nay: None Final Resolution: Motion Passed 9.3 As submitted No report. 10.
