2. South Supply Ground Storage Tank #2:

A. Consider a Motion to Approve a Multi-Year Maintenance Contract for the South Supply Ground Storage Tank #2 - Approved by Voice Vote (Council District: Two)

Public Works Director Matt Barry explained that to maximize water tank life, an outside water tank maintenance contractor makes annual inspections, periodically cleans the tank, makes necessary repairs, and repaints the tank every ten to twelve years.

Payments for the next 14 years on the South Supply #2 tank will range from a low of $25,000 (years 5-11) to a high of $172,544 (years 1-4). The Water Capital Fund has budgeted $377,000 in 2018 for the maintenance contract and any necessary steel repairs. The available balance available for steel repairs, if necessary, is $204,456. Staff recommends the Village Manager be authorized to execute the proposal from Utility Service Company the contract for the repair and long-term maintenance of the South Supply Ground Storage Tank #2.

Motion to approve items A. and B.

Result: Approved By Voice Vote [Unanimous]

Mover: Scott Lamerand, District 2 Councilman

Seconder: Kollin Kozlowski, District 5 Councilman

Ayes: Schwantz, Millar, Lamerand, Myslinski, Solberg, Kozlowski, Helms

B. Consider a Motion to Accept Change Order One with Utility Service Company, Incorporated for Steel Repairs at the South Supply Ground Storage Tank #2 - Approved by Voice Vote (Council District: Two)

Public Works Director Matt Barry recommended a long-term contract with Utility Service Company, Incorporated (now part of the Suez Company) for the painting and long-term maintenance of the South Supply Ground Storage Tank #2. The maintenance contract does not include structural steel repairs which may be needed with this year’s tank coating repairs.

Staff recommends authorizing the Village Manager to execute Change Order #1 from Utility Service Company, establishing unit costs for potential repair work in an amount not-to-exceed $204,456. This cost would allow for the replacement of all rafters, connections, and portion of the steel roof sheet. Should additional repairs beyond the budget be necessary, the scope would be quantified and presented for Village Council consideration.

Result: Approved By Voice Vote [Unanimous]

Mover: Scott Lamerand, District 2 Councilman

Seconder: Kollin Kozlowski, District 5 Councilman

Ayes: Schwantz, Millar, Lamerand, Myslinski, Solberg, Kozlowski, Helms

3. Consider a Motion to Award a Contract for the 2018 Landscape Maintenance Program - Approved by Voice Vote

Public Works Director Matt Barry explained that landscape maintenance services in the downtown business area, the train station and Gateway Center, the Police Headquarters, and the Village Hall were combined for a single bid to include 3 waterings per week schedule and supplemental watering as needed.

Both Milieu Design and Brian Edward Landscaping agreed to return any realized savings in supplemental watering to the Village of Palatine. Brian Edward Landscaping further volunteered to return any watering savings incorporated in the base bid to the Village, as well as complimentary design services for planting beds that the Village may request. When factoring the costs for supplemental watering expected, the Brian Edward Landscaping proposal is expected to result in the lowest annual cost. Therefore, staff recommends the contract for the 2018 Landscape Maintenance Program be awarded to Brian Edward Landscaping.

Result: Approved By Voice Vote [Unanimous]

The State of Illinois Department of Central Management Systems (CMS) will be soliciting bids for bulk rock salt in April.
