Review and Approval of Bid Packaqe for Village Parking Deck, 50 South
Emerson
Assistant Village Manager Strahl provided an overview of the process to date
and highlighted the recommendations and the fact that the Deck is now projected
to cost $6.2 million, which is less than the $6.8 million that was projected during
the summer of 2002. He also stated this price includes the masonry and hand
applied brick as recommended by the Village Board.
Dave Olson of W.B. Olson spoke. He introduced members of the team that are
working on the project for OIson. These people included Dan Polfuss and Dave
Ridderhoff. He stated that Mr. Ridderhoff was the key person in obtaining
favorable pricing through his diligent efforts over the last two months. He also
stated that the results of the bidding was representative of the process which has
been set up regarding the contractual arrangements between the Village and the
contractor and the ongoing review of plans from the architect. He also stated
that the hand-laid brick process has been simplified to reduce costs and the price
differential, which was previously estimated at $200,000 between the inlaid brick
and the hand-laid brick is much less in terms of differential.
General comments from the Village Board members included the following items:
I.
There was a question regarding the exterior lighting of the Parking Deck. There
was also a question regarding how the bid details were summarized. A question
was raised regarding the definition of general conditions. There was also a
discussion regarding how possible ground water would be handled and
recommended concrete color. The brick selection process was suggested to
include samples provided to the Village Board to react to an addition to locations
where the recommended brick has previously been installed. There was also a
discussion regarding the maximum guaranteed price and the relationship with the
projected price and the recommended subcontractors.
Dave Toeppen, 409 South Hi-Lusi, spoke. He suggested to the Village Board
that the lighting on the inside of the Deck be a full cut-off fixture where light is
transmitted directly down and not getting out of the deck, thereby, containing the
light within the Deck. He suggested the example at the Palatine Public Library
Parking Deck and suggested the Village Board utilize white lighting not the
amber colored lights.
Assistant Village Manager Strahl reminded the Board that the pedestrian
entrance from Route 83 would be included in the Plan and a security system is
being developed for installation in the Deck at this time and is not included in the
pricing.
Motion made by Trustee Corcoran and Seconded by Trustee Zadel to approve
the expenditure of $6,256,844 to W. B. Olson for the construction of a Parking
Deck at 50 South Emerson.
Motion was approved on a roll call vote of 6-0.
Any Other Business
Trustee Zadel wanted to acknowledge the contribution of a $4,300 check from
the annual fundraiser at Sam's Place. The check is being donated to Human
Services for use with the food pantry.
All Village Board members acknowledged the general support of the community
and Sam's Place for this donation.
