Burke Engineering, Ltd. for the 2018 Design-Bid Assistance-Construction Management for Blacksmith Drive Sanitary Pump Station in the Amount of $44,000, be adopted. City Manager Dzugan advised the proposed resolution would authorize an agreement in the amount of $44,000 with Christopher Burke Engineering for design and construction management services for replacement of a force main to the Blacksmith Drive Sanitary Pump Station. He indicated the City received three bids for this work with Christopher Burke Engineering being the lowest bidder. Councilman Rutledge expressed some concerns that the same company who had prepared the capital improvement report is the low bidder on this project. City Manager Dzugan stated in this case, Christopher Burke will prepare the bid specs for this project in an effort to attract contractors to the bidding process for construction of the force main. Director of Public Works Laoang stated the scope of work for this project is different from that of the Morse Street Sanitary Lift Station the Council recently approved. He indicated the Blacksmith work is more of a utility pipe project which more contractors are qualified to do as opposed to the expertise that was required for the Morse Street project.

City Manager Dzugan stated on September 25, 2018 the Planning & Zoning Board unanimously approved a special use permit for St. Francis High School to replace their electronic message board sign. He stated the proposed sign meets code requirements. 4 WHEATON CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS October 1, 2018 Councilman Suess questioned why this type of request needs Council approval. City Manager Dzugan replied that at the time the code for electronic message boards was originally created, the Council wanted to review and approve placement of the signs by granting a special use permit. Councilman Suess requested staff to consider a code amendment to eliminate the need for Council approval. City Manager Dzugan stated staff would prepare a zoning code amendment for Council’s review. In response to Councilman Barbier, Director Kozik stated code enforcement is done on a complaint basis and if there is a violation, the sign owner would be required to bring the sign into compliance. He indicated the City has not had any issues with existing electronic message board signs.
