CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCES relating to Outdoor Dining Related to
Phase 4 of the Restore Illinois Phase 4 Plan
A. ORDINANCE NO. 20-0-87: An Ordinance Waiving Enforcement of certain
sections of the Libertyville Zoning Code during Phase 4 of the State of
Illinois
President Weppler explained that in a further attempt to assist local restaurants during the
pandemic, Staff recommended that the Village Board extend temporary outdoor dining
throughout the winter months. The current permits will expire on November 1, 2020.
Staff recommended extending that date to May 1, 2021 without a need to reapply. Tent
permits are also slated to expire on November 1, 2020. Staff recommended that tents
also be allowed for an additional 180 days, but reapplication is necessary to ensure that
the tents are properly vented, meet exiting requirements and wind, snow and ice loads.
Accordingly, Staff recommended Village Board adoption of the following:
An ordinance would allow for the temporary waiver of certain sections of the Liberty ville
Zoning Code to allow for the extension of temporary outdoor dining permits until May 1,
2021. This ordinance creates a Covidl9 Pandemic Exception to the Municipal Code
regarding Buildings and Technical Regulations, Fire Safety Standards to allow the
Village Board to renew the 180 day "Use Period" for temporary tents subject to
documentation of compliance for structural stability of snow and wind loads, exit access
paths, exit doors, exit discharge, design/speciflcations for heating, ventilation, electric
system and maximum occupant loads. Tents would be limited to 1500 sq. ft. in area.
Seating area occupancy would continue to be determined by arranging seating providing
a minimum of six (6) feet between table areas.

Staff recommended adoption of the Ordinances to accommodate outdoor dining changes
in order to support local restaurants. President Weppler asked for questions and
comments.
Responding to Trustees' concerns, Director of Community Development John Spoden
explained that the ordinance would allow for the safety of outdoor dining with reasonable
precautions, and enclosed spaces would require ventilation. Seating would follow the
same limitations as inside the restaurant.
Trustee Johnson moved to approve the ordinance, and Trustee Adams seconded.
President Weppler asked for further Board or public comment and there was none. The
motion carried on roll call vote as follows:
AYES: Trustees Johnson, Moras, Justice, Adams, Garrity, and Carey
NAYS: None
B. ORDINANCE NO. 20-0-88: An Ordinance Amending Chapter 6, Buildings and
Technical Regulations, Article V Fire Safety Standards of the Libertyville, Illinois
Municipal Code
President Weppler introduced the ordinance to amend the existing 180 day Maximum
Use-Period for Temporary Tents found in Chapter 6 of the Municipal Code by adding an
exception to LMC 6-383 Sec 3103.5 that would allow for the Village Board to renew the
use-period without adding fire sprinklers. Transitioning from open-sided tents to
enclosed tents during the heating season will require certification of structural capacity
for snow loads, as well as emergency exit doors, heating, ventilation air, and electrical
lighting etc. In addition, compliance is required with the State of Illinois (Covidl9)
Recovery Plan. Staff recommended the Village Board approve the ordinance. President
Weppler asked for additional questions and comments and there was none.
Trustee Adams moved to approve the ordinance, and Trustee Johnson seconded.
President Weppler asked for further Board or public comment and there was none. The

RESOLUTION NO. 20-R-122: A Resolution to Award a Contract for the 2020
Joint Pavement Patching Program to Brothers Asphalt Paving, Inc.
President Weppler explained that the Village of Libertyville ("Village") and the Libertyville
Township Road District ("Township") both desired to solicit contractor bids for their
respective 'skip patching' programs in 2020. Both programs have similar scopes, with the
intent being to identify roadways that require patching in select locations in order to improve

the current pavement conditions. In an effort to maximize contract quantities and desirable
contractor unit price bids, the Village and Township pursued a joint bid for this year's skip
patching program.
This year's Village pavement patching program proposes to address locations on the
following streets: Old Barn Circle, Woodland Road, Cass Avenue, Cass Court, Cedar Glen
Drive, Ridgeway Lane and Oak Spring Road. Also included was selective patching for the
Parks Maintenance facility parking lot located at 544 North Ave. The FY 2020/21 Annual
Budget has $100,000.00 available for the pavement patching work in the Project Fund and
$47,094.00 available in the Public Building Improvement Fund for the Parks Maintenance
facility parking lot. The project was advertised for competitive bids on August 24, 2020.
Eight bids were received and opened on September 11 , 2020, which are summarized below:
Contractor Bid Amount
Brothers Asphalt Paving, Inc. $137,000.00
Schroeder Asphalt Services $140,510.00
Chicagoland Paving Contractors $149,870.00
Maneval Construction $150,534.00
Johnson Paving Services $158,732.40
Peter Baker & Son Co. $178,800.00
Total Paving & Brick Services $187,332.80
Builders Paving $290,220.00
The lowest responsive bidder was Brothers Asphalt Paving, Inc. in the amount of $137,000.00.
Brothers Asphalt is a competent and experienced paving contractor who successfully completed
this year's joint roadway resurfacing program between Liberty ville, Mundelein and Vernon
Hills.
The Village and Township are entering into an Intergovernmental Agreement ("IGA") for the
purposes of this joint program. In accordance with the terms of the IGA, both parties shall be
responsible for the direct invoicing and payments for work within their respective limits. Since
the Village is identified as the Local Lead Public Agency, the contract needs to be approved and
executed by the Village for the full contract. The Village shall ultimately only be responsible for
their share in the not-to-exceed amount of $84,297.50.
Staff recommended approval of the resolution to award a contract for the 2020 Joint Pavement
Patching Program to Brothers Asphalt Paving, Inc. in the amount of $137,000.00 and authorized
execution by the Village Administrator. President Weppler then asked for questions or
comments and there was none.

RESOLUTION NO. 20-R-123: A Resolution to Approve Change Order No. 1 to the
Contract for the 2020 Joint Pavement Patching Program
President Weppler explained that the Village of Libertyville ("Village") and the Libertyville
Township Road District ("Township") both desired to solicit contractor bids for their respective
"skip patching" programs in 2020. Both programs have similar scopes, with the intent being to
identify roadways that require patching in select locations in order to improve the current
pavement conditions. In an effort to maximize contract quantities and desirable contractor unit
price bids, the Village and Township pursued a joint bid for this year's skip patching program.
Competitive contractor bids were opened on September 11, 2020 and the lowest responsive
bidder was Brothers Asphalt Paving, Inc. in the amount of $137,000.00. A contract was
previously awarded to Brothers Asphalt Paving, Inc. in the amount of $137,000.00.
The FY 2020/21 Annual Budget has $100,000.00 available for the pavement patching work in
the Project Fund and $47,094.00 in the Public Building Improvement Fund for select patching at
the Parks Maintenance facility parking lot. The Village's share of the current awarded contract
work is $84,297.50.
A change order was proposed to the contractor by both the Village and Township in order to take
advantage of the extremely favorable unit price bids, which are essentially half of our estimated
unit prices ($25/SY vs. $50/SY) for the pavement patching work, and available budgeted funds.
The amount of the proposed change order is $68,000.00. The proposed new contract amount,
including the proposed change order, would be $205,000.00. The Village and Township will
each be responsible for 50% of the total change order amount ($34,000 each). With the change
order, the Village would now be able to complete additional patching work at the Parks
Maintenance facility parking lot and additional pavement patches on the streets included in the
original contract.
Staff recommended adoption of the resolution to approve Change Order No. 1 in the amount of
$68,000.00 to the contract for the 2020 Joint Pavement Patching Program with Brothers Asphalt
Paving, Inc. The new contract amount would be $205,000.00. President Weppler asked for
questions and comments and there was none.
Trustee Carey moved to approve the resolution to approve change order No. 1 to the contract
for the 2020 Joint Pavement Patching Program. Trustee Garrity seconded. President
