13. Village Manager's Report
13.1 Accept proposal from Citizenserve to provide Community Development software solution in an amount not to exceed $132,500.
Community Development Director Bill Cooney presented background information and staff recommendation to accept a proposal from Citizenserve to provided a software solution for the Community Development Department.
The Village purchased a software program from New World Systems in 2010 that included Financial Management, Human Resources, Community Development and Utility Management modules. This software program was selected primarily based on its high performing Financial Management and Human Resource modules and New World's promise to upgrade the Community Development modules in the future. While New World has performed satisfactorily for Finance and Human Resources, the Community Development component has never been upgraded as promised and as a result, has limited the Community Development department's improvement plans including online permitting and licensing.
New World was acquired by Tyler Technologies in 2015. Tyler informed the Village that previously planned improvements were no longer in the plans and a mandatory upgrade would be required by the end of 2017. It became evident that New Word/Tyler Technologies, due to the lack of support and functionality, would no longer benefit the Community Development department.
The Community Development Department hosted demonstrations by four software systems (Citizenserve, EnerGov (Tyler), BasicGov and Infor (Hansen). Mr. Cooney stated staff identified Citizenserve as the best alternative software system for the Community Development department. Citizenserve includes applications for :1) building permits 2) inspections 3) code enforcement cases 4) planning and zoning cases and 5) licensing. In addition, Citizenserve offers an online, customer service portal or online entry of permits, licenses and plan review.
Village Board Comments
Mr. Cooney was commended for a thorough memo that answered many important questions.
Important that the program is user-friendly.
This proposed new program will save time for homeowners.
Mr. Cooney provided the following in response to questions from the Village Board
Residents will have the ability to see where their permit is in the permit process.
Citizenserve will integrate with CRM.
Chief Technology & Innovation Officer Andrew Schaeffer stated Citizenserve is a cloud-based system and is fully compliant will all levels of security.
Citizenserve currently serves over 300 communities; they are fully committed to support their product.

13.2 Motion to reject Matrix Services bid for Booster Station 11 Tank Repairs as non-responsive and accept bid from Jetco, LTD in an amount not to exceed $201,715
Staff recommendation is to reject the lowest cost bid for Booster Station 11 tank repairs submitted by Matrix Services of Catoosa, OK as non-responsive to the bid documents and accept the second lowest cost bid submitted by Jetco, LTD., of Lake Zurich, Illinois in an amount not to exceed $201,715.
Public Works Director Sean Dorsey provided background information including project details, bid process, bid results and staff recommendation.
The water storage tank at Booster Station 11 is situated in the middle of the Mount Prospect Golf Course. This tank and the adjacent booster pumping station helps satisfy peak water demand and fire flow requirements. The Village has a total of seven (7) water storage tanks that provide 8.8 million gallons of water storage capacity. These tanks are routinely inspected by qualified engineers who assess structural condition, corrosion, coating adhesion and safety compliance. The tank was inspected in 2015 by Tank Industry Consultants(TCI) and found that repairs to the interior rafters of the tank are needed.
Bids were received by four (4) firms. The apparent lowest bid was submitted by Matrix Services; however their submittal contained a written exception that coating of repaired or new steel was not included in their bid price. In addition, Matrix did not include required bid security with their bid.
The second lowest bid was submitted by Jetco, LTD. Jetco has previously performed work in the Village and their work has been satisfactory.
Mr. Dorsey provided the following in response to questions from the Village Board
Project includes repair to normal wear and tear; rust and water corrosion, safety improvements.
Variables such as cost of steel, materials and labor are factors to consider when comparing the engineer's bid vs. solicited bids; this can account for the difference in estimates.

13.3 Motion to accept Lund Industries of Northbrook, Illinois as the vendor for converting and equipping ten (10) Police Department fleet vehicles in an amount not to exceed $99,462.71.
Police Chief Janowick provided background information and staff recommendation.
Chief Janowick stated the Police Department has employed the services of Lund Industries since 2013 for squad conversions. Conversion includes; 1) installation of new emergency lighting 2) mobile data computers with mounting, radios, mobile video recording systems and 3) other squad equipment items.
In April 2017, staff reviewed six (6) companies who provide the service of converting and equipping police fleet vehicles in the Chicago metropolitan area. In addition, a review of surrounding police agency procedures in the Chicagoland area found most police agencies use staff analysis to determine vendors instead of the RFP (Request for Proposals) process. Staff determined Lund Industries remains the most reliable vendor to provide this service to the Police Department and requests the bid process to be waived.
Chief Janowick provided the following in response to questions/comments from the Village Board
The cost of outfitting the squad cars in not a separate line item in the budget; the cost is included in the lease payment (answer provided by Finance Director David Erb).
There is no consortium for this service; all are independent vendors.
Motion by Michael Zadel, second by Richard Rogers.
