Representatives from the Hezner Corporation will provide a summary presentation at the Board
meeting.
The Phase 1 study for the Police facility, and related buildings, has been completed. In order to
proceed with Phase 2 and 3 of the study. Village Board approval is needed in order to continue the
work which will be over $25,000, and therefore over the expenditure authority of the Village
Administrator. The provision requiring Village Board approval was outlined in the professional
services agreement which is included with this agenda item.
Hezner Corporation has requested that Phase 2 and 3 be approved concurrently due to the reliance
of each phase on the prior phase's product and opinions. The fixed cost for Phase 1 was $14,925.

This resolution authorizes the continuation of the work outlined in the Professional Services
Agreement for Phases 2 and 3 in the amount of $34,875. There is a total of $250,000 available in
the Public Building Improvement Fund via the budget amendment approved last fall. As a result,

6 - RESOLUTION NO. 22-R-30: A Resolution to Award a Contract for the 2022 Sanitary
and Storm Sewer Cleaning, Televising and Lining Project to National Power Rodding Corp.
President Johnson noted the Fiscal Year 2021/22 Budget includes funds to perform televising,
cleaning and lining of various segments of the Village's sanitary sewer and storm sewer systems.
This year's program includes multiple locations throughout the Village and includes a Bid
Alternate for Ultra-Violet Curedin-Place-Pipe ("UV Curing"). This method has been
recommended for consideration due to increased curing speed and decreased noise pollution when
compared to a traditional stream-cured lining method. The use of the UV Curing lining method
will allow the project to adhere to the Village's standard construction hours of7AM to 6PM. Both
the standard bid (Hot Water and Steam Curing) and the bid alternate (UV Curing) include sewer
televising and cleaning in addition to the different lining methods.
Three (3) sealed bids were received on February 11, 2022 and are summarized in the table below:
Contractor Bid Amount - Hot Water/Steam Curing Bid Alternate Amount - UV Curing
National Power Rodding Corp. $354,502.50 $409,047.50
Visu-Sewer of Illinois $414,811.75 No Bid
Michels Corporation No Bid $726, 190.10
National Power Rodding Corp. was determined to be the lowest responsive bidder in the amount
of $409,047.50 and has successfully performed previous sewer maintenance and rehabilitation
projects for the Village. Upon review of the bid results, staff recommends approval of the contract
with National Power Rodding Corp. for this amount, which includes the UV Curing bid alternate.
Sufficient funds are available in the FY 2021/22 Budget in the amount of $450,000 in the Utility
Fund (Account^ 20-2024- 6-776) and $100,000 in the Stormwater Sewer Fund (Account 21-
2121-6-790) respectively, to complete the proposed work.
Staff recommends approval of the resolution to award the contract for the 2022 Sanitary and Storm
Sewer Cleaning, Televising and Lining Project, including the Bid Alternate for UV Curing, to
National Power Rodding Corp. in the amount of $409,047.50 and to authorize execution of the
contract by the Village Administrator.

Garrity, and Hickey offered support for the item. Trustees Love and Connell asked Director

7 - RESOLUTION NO. 22-R-31: A Resolution to Purchase a Replacement Public Works
International Truck from Rush Truck Center of Northern Illinois, Chicago IL
President Johnson noted the Draft Fiscal Year 2022/23 Annual Budget provides $215,000 in the
Fleet Services Vehicle Replacement Fund (Account #30-0000-6-782) for the purchase of a
replacement Public Works Unit #321 International Truck. The current Unit #321 is a 2011
International Truck. Unit ^321 is a front-line snowplow truck that completes snow removal and
ice control on IL Rte. 176 and IL. Rte. 21. The proposed replacement truck will be a 2024
International Truck. Following its replacement, Staff recommends the current Unit #321 be
auctioned on GovDeals, an online government auction site.
The Village participates in the State of Illinois Joint Purchasing State Contract. By participating in
joint purchase programs, the Village is able to maximize savings due to multiple bidders. Rush
Truck Center of Northern Illinois provided the lowest price of $226,867 for the truck. The lowest
price is $11,867 over the allotted budget amount of $215,000. There is a surplus of $21,692 from
the recent approved purchase of the four Police Interceptor vehicles in the Fleet Services Vehicle
Replacement Fund (Account ^30-0000-6-782). Staff recommends using $11,867 from the surplus
to cover the cost average for Unit ^321 replacement truck.
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution to approve the purchase of the 2024 International
Truck from Rush Truck Center of Northern Illinois, Chicago, IL in the amount of $226,867, subject
to the appropriation of funds in the Draft FY 2022/23 Annual Budget, and authorize execution of
