INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: VILLAGE MANAGER MICHAEL E. JANONIS
FROM: FORESTRY /GROUNDS SUPERINTENDENT
DATE: JANUARY 11, 2012
SUBJECT: BID RESULTS - TREE REMOVALS ($155,000)
BACKGROUND
Sealed bids for parkway tree removals in 2012 were opened on January 3, 2012. This contract requires
removal of dead, dying, diseased, EAB infested or structurally unsound parkway trees to ground level. As in
the past, we also sought prices for emergency tree work in the event of a major storm. Finally, we included a
provision which will allow us to extend the contract for a second and third year at the same bid prices, if both
the contractor and Village agree.
BID RESULTS
Fourteen invitational bids were mailed and a notice was published in a local newspaper. Eight bids and three
"No -Bid" letters were received. Bidders were asked to submit a price per inch for removal of trees in each of
five different size classes. In order to draw comparisons between various bids, we asked bidders to use our
estimated quantities to calculate an extended cost. Bid results for removal of an estimated 6,765 diameter
inches plus an estimated 30 hours of emergency work, were as follows:

DISCUSSION
I recommend rejection of the apparent low bid by Dawson's Tree Service. The specifications required all
bidders to submit a bid bond or cashier's check in the amount of 10% of their bid. Dawson's submitted a
corporate check instead, and the amount of the check was approximately $1,900.00 less than 10% of their
bid. Dawson's also submitted only three of the four required municipal references. A check of the three
references that were submitted showed that none were for contracts anywhere near the size of ours (they
ranged in size from $10,500.00 to $50,000.00.) Finally, Dawson's equipment list shows far less available
equipment than the next lowest bidder, Homer Tree Care, Inc. Dawson's listed only 2 aerial bucks, 2

chippers and one grapple truck. In my opinion, Dawson's would not have enough equipment to effectively
respond in the event that a severe storm struck during the height of the EAB / DED removal season, as
happened during 2011.
I also recommend rejection of the bid received by R.W. Hendricksen Co. as being non - responsive. They
submitted over a page of deviations from the bid specifications. R.W. Hendricksen requested deviations
were so extensive that effectively the bid they submitted was for an entirely different contract than the one
the other contractors were bidding on.
The resultant lowest qualified bidder, Homer Tree Care, Inc., has performed admirably for us in the past on
our Parkway Removal Contract (20 10 and 2011). They also played a key role in our rapid response to the
June 21, 2011 and July 11, 2011 windstorms thi s past summer. Although they began 2011 with an
$86,400.00 tree removal contract, during the course of the year Homer willingly accepted multiple contract
additions when additional funds were appropriated for storm and EAB removals. All told, Homer
successfully completed roughly $203,000.00 worth of contractual tree removals in 2011, in addition to their
emergency storm damage work. We found them to be extremely efficient, responsive, and safety conscious,
and we received no complaints about their work. Additionally, they saved our taxpayers dollars by
voluntarily providing us with a free log disposal site for logs generated by our crews.
Even if we escape any serious storms in 2012, we expect that we will likely need to remove about 900 -1100
parkway trees this year. This is based on our usual average of about 400 -500 tree removals per year, as well
as an estimated 500 -600 EAB- infested ash trees. (EAB removals are predicted based on results reported by
local municipalities that have been battling EAB for four or five years.)
Unfortunately, funds budgeted for contractual tree removals in 2012 will only allow Homer to remove
approximately 350 -400 trees, depending on tree diameters. Our in -house crew typically can only remove
about 100 trees per year due to other work needs. Since removal of dead /dying trees cannot be ignored for
public safety reasons, it is highly likely that additional tree removal funds will be needed this year.
BID RECOMMENDATION
I recommend award of a possible three -year contract to the lowest qualified bidder, Homer Tree Care, Inc., in
an amount not to exceed $155,000.00. There are sufficient funds for this proposed contract in the current
budget. If year one is successful, and a contract extension is agreed to by the Village and the contractor,
years two and three will be in whatever amount is appropriated in the subsequent budgets.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
�M?/
TO: VILLAGE MANAGER MICHAEL E. JANONIS
FROM: WATER & SEWER SUPERINTENDENT
DATE: JANUARY 10, 2012
SUBJ: BID RESULTS FOR WATER METERS (NOT TO EXCEED $59,216)
Background
The Village of Mount Prospect operates a water distribution system that includes over 11,000
metered accounts, pumps an average of 3.5 million gallons of water per day, and generates
annual revenues exceeding $10 million. Water meters are an important part of the fiscal
viability of this enterprise. They are, in essence, the cash registers that support the entire
operation.
In order to assure accuracy, it is necessary to periodically repair or replace water meters. It has
been our experience that it is cheaper and more efficient to replace smaller meters, such as the
5/8" and 1" meters installed in most homes, rather than have them tested and repaired. This
reality can be explained by the fact that it is considerably more labor- intensive to test these
meters, and make any commensurate repairs, than it is to simply replace the meter. Also, since
replacement is much faster than testing, the process is less disruptive to customers.
Presently, the Village replaces residential water meters on 15 -year cycle. Typically, 700 to 800
meters are replaced each year. This schedule is consistent with guidelines promulgated by the
American Water Works Association (AWWA). AWWA recommends repair or replacement of
small, cold -water meters every 15 years.
Staff prepared bid documents for the quantity of meters that are planned for replacement in
2012 plus a nominal meter reserve for new installations and emergency water meter changes.
These documents also required vendors to provide pricing on 750- 5/8" and 75 - 1" cold water
meters, along with associated parts. In addition, the specifications also required vendors to
provide an absolute digital encoder (ADE) register head reading in gallons with cabling to allow
for the meter's future incorporation into an automated meter reading (AMR) system.
Furthermore, vendors were instructed to provide pricing valid for a minimum of one hundred and
eight (180) days or for a longer period that the vendor could stipulate.
Bid Results
Bid documents were requested by five (5) firms and a bid notice was published in a local paper.
Bids were received on January 9, 2012, opened and read aloud as required. No vendors
declined to bid. The following five (5) firms submitted bids:

Datamatic, Plano, Texas
$ 65,009.25
Mid American Water, Wauconda, Illinois
Non - responsive
($ 75,218.00 )
Discussion
All bids were checked to ensure that the supplier was providing the needed and necessary
equipment in accordance with the specifications. One bidder, Mid American Water, failed to
submit either a bid bond or cashier's check and thus is considered non - responsive to the bid
specifications. All bidders stipulated that they would honor their unit prices for a period of one
hundred - eighty (180) days.
The lowest responsible bidder, Badger Meter of Brown Deer, Wisconsin has been the Village's
water meter supplier in previous years and is considered a reliable, responsive vendor. In fact,
the Village of Mount Prospect is one of Badger Meter's oldest customers with procurement
records dating to the 1920s. Staff is confident that Badger Meter can adequately fulfill this
proposed contract.
Recommendation
I recommend that the Village Board accept the bid for the purchase for cold -water meters and
accessory components as submitted by Badger Meter Company of Brown Deer, Wisconsin in
an amount not to exceed $59,216.00. Sufficient funds for this proposed procurement exist in
the current budget.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
e
TO: VILLAGE MANAGER
FROM: PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER
DATE: JANUARY 11, 2012
SUBJECT: PROPOSAL FOR 2012 DOWNTOWN BLOCK PARTY
MANAGEMENT SERVICES
BACKGROUND r
Mount Prospect has become synonymous with great community events and the public
has come to expect a high quality product. The Downtown Block Party has been a
signature summer event in Mount Prospect since its inception in 1999. From the
beginning, the coordination of the event has been a close partnership between the
Village and the Mount Prospect Chamber of Commerce. Each year, the event has
grown and evolved, and the organizing committee has constantly looked at ways it can
be improved.
DISCUSSION
With the turnout the Block Party experienced in 2011, it was determined that the event
had potential to grow in attendance numbers. By working with a talent booking agent,
Mount Prospect hosted bands that had drawing power, brought their own fan base, and
added an excitement to the party that had not been experienced before. This led staff to
explore the benefits of hiring an event management company that would bring
experience, marketing capabilities, and economies of scale to the table in order to
improve and grow the event. Over the past year, staff has been in discussion with
Ravenswood Event Services to look at ways they can help us to lower our costs
associated with the event and maximize the event's potential.
• Experience
Ravenswood has extensive experience in event and festival management, the
closest example to Mount Prospect being Palatine's Street Fest, which was how
staff learned about them. The Village of Palatine initially contracted with
Ravenswood primarily for their talent booking services and each year expanded
Ravenswood's involvement. Ravenswood is essentially managing all aspects of
Palatine's Street Fest event.
2012 Block Party Event Management Services
January 11, 2012
Page 2
In addition to the Palatine Street Fest, Ravenswood is involved in many events
throughout the city and suburbs including the Winter Wonderfest at Navy Pier, the
Taste of Oak Brook, the Chicago Marathon, the Chicago Air and Water Show, Taste
of River North and more.
Staff has communicated the values of the event and the community to Ravenswood.
They understand that this event has a "hometown" feel to it, and that the Village and
Chamber have every intention of maintaining its community feel. They understand
and appreciate the fact that, although they will be managing the event, Village and
Chamber staff will still be very involved in the planning and execution of the event
with supervisory and decision making capacities. They also understand that over the
years, the planning committee has done everything possible to keep the event and
all the activities within it "free" and will continue to do so.
Marketing
A significant part of the Ravenswood proposal relates to marketing: social media
campaign, website and branding. The Village has witnessed the power of social
media by the growth in publicity for its other events, but has not realized the tool's
full potential. This social media campaign would strategize the placement and
frequency of messages about the event.
Ravenswood would create a website dedicated to the event. Information about the
event is crucial not only to event attendees but to people interested in sponsoring or
performing at the event. The design and maintenance of the website (including an
event logo) are included in the proposal.
Sponsorships are a huge factor in the event, and one of the most needed areas of
assistance that Ravenswood will provide is in attracting event sponsors. In addition
to working with past Block Party sponsors, they have contacts with regional and
national sponsorship opportunities that the committee has not had connection to in
the past.
• Economies of Scale
Ravenswood receives special pricing from many vendors (tent, porta- potties, etc.)
due to the volume of events they manage and that pricing will be passed on to the
Village. They collect bids for all aspects of equipment and rentals to ensure the best
pricing.
Another savings as a result of working with Ravenswood is in labor hours. By using
labor services provided by Ravenswood, we will realize a significant savings by
reducing Public Works overtime costs.
2012 Block Party Event Management Services
January 11, 2012
Page 3
• Addition of Friday Night
Staff is also proposing changing the 2012 event by adding a Friday night. The Friday
night activities would be limited to entertainment and food, and would not include the
Business Expo and Children's Activities that take place along Busse Ave. to the east
and Emerson Street to the south. There are minimal costs associated with adding
the day in terms of rentals (tent, stage, etc.) and since the set up will occur during
normal working hours during the day on Friday, even less Public Works overtime
charges will be incurred.
RECOMMENDATION
Entering into a relationship with Ravenswood is best considered over a long term basis.
Much of the initial work this year will be used in subsequent years in marketing and
sponsor outreach. A brand will be built for the event, and it will grow into one of the
premier events in the suburban Chicago region. While we may not realize a large bump
in sponsorships the first year, we will maximize the return for existing sponsors, and
create additional new sponsorship opportunities. Over time the event will become
established and relationships will be built with sponsors.
Staff requests approval to enter into an agreement with Ravenswood Event Services for
management of the Downtown Block Party in an amount not to exceed $20,000. Fees
would include Event Management Fee, Operations and Clean -up Labor Services,
Sponsorship and Marketing Services, Social Media Campaign and Event Branding. It is
expected that these costs would be covered through increased sponsorship amounts,
as well as cost savings in rentals and labor. In addition to the fees, Ravenswood earns
18% commission on Direct Sponsorship sales and 5% on Client Generated or
Collaborative Sponsorship Sales.

MEMORANDUM
TO: MICHAEL E. JANONIS, VILLAGE MANAGER
FROM: DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DATE: JANUARY 11, 2012
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR FACADE REBATE REIMBURSEMENT — CRAVE
RESTAURANT
The Village has established the Fagade Rebate Program in the downtown Tax Increment Financing
District that offers matching grants to businesses that make improvements to storefronts in the
downtown district. The maximum Village contribution is $10,000 per storefront.
The owner, Rafael Dickson, has leased the former Tuccio's /Panzano's location at 106 W. NW Highway
to establish his Crave Pizza Restaurant. He is looking for reimbursement for costs associated with
installing new wall signage and to enclose the porte corchere for year round outdoor dining. The total
project costs are estimated at $14,000.
Crave Pizza is seeking reimbursement for $7,000 of eligible expenses related to this project. The
Village currently has sufficient funds budgeted in account # 022.40.90.00.0.710.636.007 (page 276 of
the Budget) for the 2012 budget year.
Please forward this memorandum and attachments to the Village Board for their review and
consideration at their January 17th meeting. Staff will be at that meeting to answer any questions
related to this matter.

Executive Summary
Having three years of experience in the restaurant management industry, I pride myself with
r�mni W a tight ship. I want to make sure that Mp le are working in a clean environment. I
want to ensure that patrons will be in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. I have hired on a chef
with over 20 years of experience who will be a huge asset to my organization. I will also have a
mentor by my side that also has over 8 years of running restaurants. This combo will allow the
restaurant to flourish.
As Crave Pizza, we will provide good food at reasonable prices and have the chance to enjoy a
beer with friends. We would love to host company events for the nearby corporations and offer
lunch specials to local businesses. With time we will sponsor local school sports and teams. This
will allow for the Crave Pizza to get out into the public and make us a valued member of the
community. We plan to concentrate on delivery and plan for that to be 80 of our business.
Delivery will be prime in Mt. Prospect. With a great mix of young families and busy adults who
don't have time to cook Crave Pizza has the location and ease of access for easy carryout and or
course delivery. The only direct competitor will be Jake's Pizza and pub. They have quality
ingredients but use cheap crust. Crave Pizza will have the freshest ingredients with top of the line
crust. We also have a secret blend of spices that will be put in every pizza into the cheese. This
specific blend is a family recipe.
I believe that Crave Pizza will become a new hometown favorite of Mt. Prospect.
Business Description and Vision
The purpose of the restaurant is to provide people with a great atmosphere to enjoy a sit down
meal and hang out with their family and friends. We serve comfort food such as pizza, burgers
and great steak sandwiches. The idea is quite simple. We want to provide a family friendly place
to hang out and enjoy a fulfilling meal.
Having three years of managing Kayla's Restaurant it provided the principal owner with the
experience needed to handle an operation of this size. Kayla's required the owner to manage 20
people, including 4 chefs, waiting and bar staff. The idea for a family friendly restaurant came
about while working at Kayla's. Kayla's being a gourmet food it didn't cater to the average
family household as explained in further in the plan Crave Pizza wants to cater to the average
American household that is composed of a father and mother and two kids. The kids will have a
place to enjoy great comfort food and to have quality time with their parents. The parents are
able to have a mean with great value and get the opportunity to spend time with their kids and
not in front of a kitchen stove.
The main chef has over 20 years of experience in busy kitchen and is able to prepare pizza's and
other favorites such as wings and signature sandwiches.
Rafael Manjarres - will be the sole president of Pizza 5 Inc. Rafael will handle the day to day
activities that need to be done in order for the restaurant to run smoothly.
The Vision of Crave Pizza is to become a hometown name with comfort foods that people of all
ages can enjoy. We will be delivery centered and provide space to enjoy our great food on site
with the opportunity to have a beer while you wait.
Definition of the Market
Mt. Prospect offers a wide verity of competition. The Main competitors in the market reflect
Jake's Pizza and Pub as well Carta Napoli Pizzeria & Ristorante.
Pizza Hut is not a competitor because they are a corporate brand with very low quality food
therefore they are not in the ball park.
Jake's pizza has moderate prices but again falls short with the quality of food served.
Canta Napoli is a gourmet style Italian restaurant that has similar foods but at high prices.
Mt. Prospect doesn't have a low priced prime quality food pizza place and that's what Crave
Pizza will accomplish.
Description of Services
Please see attached Menu and flyers. Photos say a 1000 words and the menu outlines our
products perfectly.
Organization and Management
Crave Pizza will be incorporated under Pizza 5 Inc. Rafael Manjarres will be the President of the
company and will be the driving force behind the success of Crave Pizza.
Marketing and Sales Strategy
We will start by doing a mass mailing of our coupons to the Mt. Prospect and surrounding
suburbs. This will create awareness and allow for an inflow of customers for the special deals
presented.
We will also utilize social media for events and coupons. Social media is the future of marketing
and we will use friends and family to market the business through Facebook, Linke ft and
Google.
We will also utilize the web with services such as GrubHub and Restaurant.com to have coupons
for our restaurant as well as Open Table that will allow customers to make orders through the
web.
Financial Management
We will have an accountant do all of our finances and please refer to the attached spreadsheets to
vie-* projected finances.
