The Board briefly discussed the matter informally and agreed that the Village Manager would reach out to the Board to advance the proposal, with no formal agenda item required. VILLAGE MANAGER'S REPORT 9.1. Motion to accept proposal for the 2026-2031 Snow Removal & Ice Control Services Contract in an amount not to exceed $174,400 during the 2026/2027winter season, subject to annual Chicago CPI increases during subsequent seasons. Public Works Director Sean Dorsey presented the recommendation to award a five-year Snow Removal and Ice Control Services Contract. The scope of work covers 110 cut -de -sacs, 11 Village - owned parking lots, and one residential snow plow section (the "orange section," approximately 19.5 centerline miles on the west side of town, south of Central and north of Golf Road, from the Village's western limits to Route 83). Director Dorsey explained that the Village issued a Request for Proposals to five firms with demonstrated municipal snow removal experience. Two proposals were received. The contract is fixed in price for the 2026-2027 season, with subsequent seasons subject to Chicago CPI adjustments with a 2% minimum and 4% maximum annual increase. Rates for cul-de-sac and parking lot plowing are per occurrence, while the residential street plowing component is a fixed seasonal fee. The contract includes provisions for additional compensation if snowfall exceeds 55 inches in a season, and a 10% reduction in the fixed fee if snowfall is less than 25 inches. The two proposals received were: MAXX Contractors of Des Plaines: Cul-de-sac plowing at $8,700 per occurrence; parking lots at $4,470 per pass; residential section at $165,700 per season — total of $174,400. Pete's Perfection Plus: Total of $228,700. Director Dorsey recommended MAX Contractors, who have provided these services to the Village for the past 13 years to strong reviews. Director Dorsey provided the following in response to questions from the Board: • The Village supplies the salt and materials for ice control, not the contractor. • The use of beet juice as a salt adhesive has been abandoned due to significant clogging problems in the salt distribution equipment, which outweighed the benefit of improved salt adhesion to pavement. Motion by Terri Gens, second by Vincent Dante, to approve the proposal for the 2026-2031 Snow Removal and Ice Control Services Contract, awarded to MAXX Contractors of Des Plaines, Illinois, in an amount not to exceed $174,400 during the 2026/2027 winter season: Yea: Vincent Dante, Beth DiPrima, Terri Gens, Bill Grossi, Colleen Saccotelli Nay: None Absent: John Matuszak Final Resolution: Motion Passed 9.2.
