Regular Board of Trustees Meeting
of
September 13, 2011
SUBJECT: Surplus Property
FROM: Rania Serences, Purchasing Clerk
BUDGET SOURCE/BUDGET IMPACT: N/A
RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move that the Village Board adopt the attached ordinance
authorizing the sale of a lattice tower.
Backeround/Historv:
Prior to 2007, an 80 foot tall "lattice" radio equipment tower was in use on the grounds of the Butler
Government Center adjacent to the current monopole tower. A lattice tower or truss tower is a
freestanding framework tower constructed from tubular steel. The tower was constructed in the 1970's in
several sections which taper exponentially with height, in the manner of the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
In January 2007, Sprint/Nextel contracted with the Village to construct the current 80 foot tall monopole
radio tower which is adjacent to Fire Station 1 and the Public Works facility. As a condition of the
construction, Sprint/Nextel agreed to relocate all of the Village's Public Safety Antennas to the new tower
and dismantle the old "lattice" tower. At the time, the Village was unsure if we would have any future
need for the "old" tower, so the Village requested that the tower be placed on the ground between the Fire
Station 1 and Public Works buildings as staff investigated potential future uses of the tower. The Village
looked at the possibility of relocating the tower to another site like Fire Station 2. Several proposals were
received with indicated that to relocate the tower to another site in the Village would cost in excess of
$20,000. After a complete analysis, staff has determined that the tower is no longer needed and has
reached the end of its useful life.
The attached ordinance authorizes the sale or disposal of the 80 foot lattice tower. The Village will first
register with an online auctioneer run by the State of Illinois, known as iBid. If inadequate or no bids are
received through the online auction, staff will advertise for bids in the local newspaper. If no bids are
received, this item will be properly disposed of.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Village Board adopt the attached ordinance authorizing the sale or disposal of
this surplus item.
