BEARD'S SUBDIVISION #2 — 3711 MADISON, 403 GLENDALE & VACANT LAND — FINAL PLAT WITH VARIATIONS — 4 -LOT SUBDIVISION At its meeting on May 15, 2006, the Plan Commission completed its review and deliberation on the application from Mr. Ken Beard, the owner of lots 1 and 2 of the Beard's Resubdivision and part of lot 3 in the Mizen's Subdivision, and Mr. Jonathan Lanphier, the owner of lot 2 and part of lot 3 in the Mizen's Subdivision seeking approval of a four -lot subdivision to be known as Beard's Resubdivision No. 2. The applicant's request will reconfigure several common lot lines as well as update the easements for the lots. The four reconfigured lots will meet the lot size and dimensional requirements of the R -2 District. In addition, the applicant is seeking approval of several variances to Sections 14 -6 -313 and 14 -6 -3C and waivers to Section 14 -6 -3E and 14 -6 -3F of the Subdivision Regulations. Recommendation: The Plan Commission by a vote of 7 to 0, recommended approval of the Beard's Plat of Resubdivision No. 2 and the proposed variations to the Subdivision Regulations as requested, subject to the following condition: A report of the facts will be provided to the President and Board of Trustees prior to any final decision, regarding the issues raised in Mrs. Zahran's May 12, 2006 letter as to whether or not a valid covenant exists regarding the development of the land on the subject property. VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 3 of 13 June 13, 2006 8. A. Staff Comments: In response to the issues raised in the Zahran letter dated May 12, 2006, Village staff from the Community Development and Engineering Department's could not locate any documents that would support the existence of any covenants that would be in conflict with the proposed resubdivision. In addition, Ken Beard's surveyor Mr. Gil Evans (Bollinger, Lach & Associates) has provided information that he obtained from the Title Commitments for the subject properties that contain no information that can support the issues alluded to in the Zahran letter. A suggestion was made to change the configuration so that the front yard, for setback reasons, be located on the west side. The petitioner, his engineer and surveyor responded that the configuration was designed in order to be in keeping with the current look of the neighborhood and because of how the driveway came into the lot. It was believed that the division and realignment were addressed in order to minimize the concerns of surrounding residents. The resident who raised the issue, Mr. Zubi, spoke to his concerns. His concern was related to the trees that buffered his home from the new lot and the probability that they would be destroyed during construction of a new home. Motion by Trustee Kennedy, seconded by Trustee Yusuf, to concur with the Plan Commission recommendation to approve the Beard's Resubdivision No. 2 and requested variations and waivers to the Subdivision Regulations and authorize the Village Attorney to prepare the necessary resolution for adoption at the June 27, 2006 Village Board Meeting. ROLL CALL VOTE: Ayes: 5 - Trustees Aktipis, Craig, Kennedy, Manofsky and Sanford. Nays: 1 - Trustee Yusuf. Absent: 0 - None. Motion carried. Trustee Manofsky abstained from the vote. An abstention becomes part of the prevailing vote. 9. UNFINISHED BUSINESS A. CONFIRMATION OF APPOINTMENTS — None presented. B. ORDINANCES & RESOLUTIONS 1) AN ORDINANCE APPROVING DEVELOPMENT PLANS AND ISSUING A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS This Ordinance approves development plans and authorizes issuance of a Certificate of Appropriateness for the York Tavern in the Historic Graue Mill Gateway Area, pursuant to the recommendation of the Plan Commission at its May 15, 2006 meeting, with an additional condition requiring compliance with the commitments made by the petitioner's counsel in his May 18 letter, as proposed by Trustee Kennedy and approved by the Board on May 23, 2006. VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 4 of 13 June 135 2006 9. B. 1) Motion by Trustee Kennedy, seconded by Trustee Yusuf, for passage of Ordinance 5 -1163, "An Ordinance Approving Development Plans and Issuing a Certificate of Appropriateness" (York Tavern: 3702 York Road). ROLL CALL VOTE: Ayes: 6 - Trustees Aktipis, Craig, Kennedy, Manofsky, Sanford and Yusuf. Nays: 0 - None. Absent: 0 - None. Motion carried. C. AWARD OF CONTRACTS 1) LIBRARY HVAC SCREENING At the January 23`d Committee -of -the -Whole meeting, the Board consensus was to have Legat Architects proceed with a final design for screening of the Library's roof top HVAC unit and present same at a future meeting. Recommendation: That Legat's final design is approved and that staff be authorized to proceed with obtaining competitive bids. Once bids are received, the item will be brought back for Village Board consideration. Motion by Trustee Aktipis, seconded by Trustee Kennedy, that the Library roof- top HVAC screening design, as submitted by Legat Architects, is accepted and that staff are authorized to proceed with obtaining competitive bids for the installation of same. ROLL CALL VOTE: Ayes: 6 - Trustees Aktipis, Craig, Kennedy, Manofsky, Sanford and Yusuf. Nays: 0 - None. Absent: 0 - None. Motion carried. 2) BUTLER GOVERNMENT CENTER HVAC SCREENING /RELOCATION At the January 23`d Committee -of -the -Whole meeting, staff was instructed to explore the feasibility of relocating the Village Hall east -side HVAC units thus negating the need for extensive screening. Staff contracted with Metro Design and it was their opinion that the units could in fact be relocated to the area referred to as the courtyard. Metro Design also estimated the cost to undertake said work and after staff assigned additional costs that would be associated with the relocation, notified the Board of same via the Manager's Weekly Memorandum of March 24, 2006. Since that time, other alternatives /locations for the HVAC units have surfaced. VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 5 of 13 June 13, 2006 9. C. 2) As there are several options for the ultimate disposition and look of the Butler Government Center east -side public entrance, an exhibit has been produced to facilitate Board discussion on the subject. In sum, though staff is recommending a specific direction, all scenarios are feasible; some less expensive than others, some more complex than others, and some, perhaps less desirable than others. No matter the direction, it appears that the BGC east -side entrance should be one that is appealing, tranquil, and welcoming to those that pass through the doors. Some funds are included in Program #421, Municipal Building Improvements, for this item; however, depending on the direction given, the majority of the funding may have to be budgeted for in FY -07 or transferred from the Board's contingency line item in Program #I I I -Board of Trustees. Motion by Trustee Manofsky, seconded by Trustee Sanford, that staff be directed to negotiate a contract with Legat Architects for: 1.)Relocation of the Butler Government Center (BGC) east -side ground HVAC units as depicted in Option 5 of the Exhibit. 2.)Screening of the BGC east -side roof -top HVAC unit. 3.)Developing a detailed landscape rejuvenation plan for the BGC east -side public entrance. 4.)Developing a detailed landscape rejuvenation plan for the exterior area adjacent to the Samuel E. Dean Board Room (outside the Board Room exterior exit). ROLL CALL VOTE: Ayes: 6 - Trustees Aktipis, Craig, Kennedy, Manofsky, Sanford and Yusuf. Nays: 0 - None. Absent: 0 - None. Motion carried. E. DISCUSSION — RESIDENTIAL SCAVENGER SERVICE CONTINUED FROM MAY 23, 2006 Trustee Aktipis spoke to his interest to find a way to reinstate collection of residential refuse with the cost being absorbed by the Village. He recognized that there were a number of issues in terms of funding the service. He indicated that staff provided a number of options of which he would not recommend and suggested that more time was needed to decide the best approach. He reported that the previous Board had set budget priorities in preparation of the 2005 Budget. That Board was surveyed and identified ten areas in which to concentrate efforts and investment. The top priority was reinstating the six month reserve followed by restoration of departmental budgets to a level to maintain existing Village services. He added that tied to that was the collection of residential refuse at the expense of the Village. VILLAGE, OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 6 of 13 June 13, 2006 9. E. Trustees Sanford and Kennedy also addressed priorities and expressed commitment to maintaining a healthy financial condition. The priority emphasized was being sure that the Village was expending its' resources to invest in the future growth and stability of the Village. It was felt that there had been a number of changes and that each Board needed to look at priorities based on current conditions. In addition, it was felt that this was not a large priority with the residents of Oak Brook. Trustee Kennedy described a meeting of many Homeowner's Associations Presidents representing approximately 75 or 80% of the population of the Village that were specifically asked whether the Village should pay for garbage collection and those Presidents indicated that they did not want free garbage, they had other priorities. Trustee Aktipis stated that Homeowner's Association Presidents did not represent every resident that reside in their area. He also disagreed with the issue of contributing to the expansion of the 22nd Street bridge. He felt that it would increase traffic through the area rather than relieve traffic congestion. He emphasized that the Village should look into resources for restoring a service which had traditionally been a Village service. It was pointed out that the expansion was an ISTHA, State of Illinois project and would go forward with or without Village approval and that the Village had a contract that' required the Village to pay one -third of the cost. Trustee Aktipis requested the Village Attorney's opinion as to whether the Village had a legal obligation to pay $4,000,000 for this project. Trustee Manofsky suggested a Committee -of -the -Whole Meeting in preparation of the upcoming budget to discuss the current Board's priorities. Trustee Craig suggested that the residents be surveyed to determine if they wanted free refuse collection. 10. NEW BUSINESS A. CONFIRMATION OF APPOINTMENTS — None presented. B. ORDINANCES & RESOLUTIONS 1) AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 4, CHAPTER 1, SECTION 8A OF THE VILLAGE CODE OF THE VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK, ILLINOIS RELATIVE TO THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED LIQUOR LICENSES - NEIMAN MARCUS The Neiman Marcus Group, Inc. has made application to the Village for a Class A -1 & B Liquor License. The corporation was previously a publicly traded company but is now privately owned by a parent company. This requires a new license for the corporation and an application identifying the owners. VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 7 of 13 June 133 2006 10. B. 1) Documentation requirements have been fulfilled appropriately. The General Manager and their employees of the Zodiac Restaurant and Epicure Department have remained and they are properly BASSET trained according to our Village Code. The applicant has requested that this application be brought before you for your consideration at the Village Board's regular meeting of June 13, 2006. The menu and the floor plan of the establishment remains the same as the previous owners of Neiman Marcus. A representative of the establishment was in attendance of the meeting. Motion by Trustee Kennedy, seconded by Trustee Yusuf, for passage of Ordinance G -804, "An Ordinance Amending Title 4, Chapter 1, Section 8A of the Village Code of the Village of Oak Brook, Illinois Relative to the Number of Authorized Liquor Licenses." ROLL CALL VOTE: Ayes: 6 - Trustees Aktipis, Craig, Kennedy, Manofsky, Sanford and Yusuf. Nays: 0 - None. Absent: 0 - None. Motion carried. C. AWARD OF CONTRACTS 1) CANCELLATION OF LANDSCAPE SERVICES CONTRACT AND AWARD OF LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE SERVICES After competitive bids, a three -year contract was awarded to A & B Landscaping in the aggregate amount of $173,013 for landscape services at various Village, County, and State locations throughout the Village. As previously reported to the Board, the Village has experienced a multitude of problems with A & B Landscaping, none of which have been resolved. In sum, the problems range from not responding to telephone calls to not applying herbicides and fertilizers to not mowing as frequently as specified in the contract to simply not mowing areas at all. With the aforementioned noted, a certified letter /notification was sent by the Village on May 19, 2006 and received by A & B Landscaping on May 20, 2006 documenting their non - compliance and notifying them that should they continue to default on their obligations, said contract would be terminated, effective June 175 2006. Since receiving the letter, no satisfactory corrective has been taken by the contractor necessitating that both Sports Core and Public Works crews undertake mowing operations for several days during the week of May 30t". Based upon A & B Landscape's failure to perform as specified in the contract documents, it is staff's strong recommendation that said contract with A & B Landscape be terminated, effective June 17, 2006. VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 8 of 13 June 13, 2006 10. C. 1) Motion by Trustee Aktipis, seconded by Trustee Kennedy, that the contract with A & B Landscaping, Inc. be terminated, for cause, effective June 17, 2006 as provided for in the contract documents. ROLL CALL VOTE: Ayes: 6 - Trustees Aktipis, Craig, Kennedy, Manofsky, Sanford and Yusuf. Nays: 0 - None. Absent: 0 - None. Motion carried. With the cancellation of A & B Landscaping's contract, the Village is now faced with securing landscape services (mowing) from another vendor. Historically, awarding this contract to the low- bidder has been risky at best. Since 1998, the Village has contracted with six companies and have had to terminate the contract with three of them for failure to perform. The three companies that the Village did not have to terminate, either no longer bid, stating they were not making any (or little) money, or have raised their subsequent bids substantially to compensate for the actual cost of rendering the service. Using the first year bid after completion of a prior three -year agreement (when the vendor knows what it actually costs) would be an appropriate measure of the true cost of service. Using these bid amounts from bids submitted in 1998 and 2001, and factoring in the cumulative change in the employee cost index, a more realistic contract value in today's dollars would be in the $75,000 range and not the $58,000 (average 3 -yr) submitted by A & B Landscaping. This discrepancy can be somewhat explained by the following. First, it is not the Village's specifications to blame for the success or failure of an individual contractor; the failure rate says more about the system of "low -bid wins ", especially for this type of work endeavor. Simply stated, many prospective bidders invest little time and effort in understanding or inspecting the scope of the service requested and they tend to place little weight on the Village's vigilance to insure appropriate contract over - sight. With these miscalculations as a foundation, some contractors merely submit a bid that essentially mirrors the expiring contract; knowing little of what the previous contractor encountered. With satisfactory references, (seldom are poor reviews received) the contract is awarded and the only hope is that the company will honor their commitment and perform accordingly. Unfortunately, and as mentioned, some do, some do not. Once the contractor realizes what they have gotten into, they try everything —short of quitting —to minimize their losses at the Village's aesthetic expense. For the above reasons, staff has met with Classic Landscape (they held our 2003 -2004- 2005 contract and was the second low bidder for the 2006 bid letting) and after negotiations they have proposed the following: A three -year contract at $86,846 per year with 2006 being prorated for the remaining months of this year and no adjustments for 07 and 08. Though this is significantly more than their 2006 bid of $63,700 for 2006, $65,097 for 2007 and $67,052 for 2008; it is, VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 9 of 13 June 13, 2006 10. C. 1) aggregately, $98,454 less than the third low bid of Tru -Green Land Care and $103,212 less than the fourth low bid of Carefree Lawn Maintenance that were received in the 2006 bid letting. In discussing this further with Classic, they noted that since their December 21, 2005 bid submittal, labor costs have escalated more than they anticipated and fuel costs have soared. Furthermore, gearing up and rearranging schedules to take on the Village's account in semi -mid season comes at a price. Staff has verified fuel increases and to a degree labor costs with similar job functions at the Golf Course. When these adjustments are figured in, the true value is approximately $82,000; still lower than Classic's proposal, but not, in staff's opinion, unacceptably so, considering the time and effort (and aggravation) expended on a less than competent contractor. Furthermore, at the conclusion of the 2008 season, the Village would have the ability to negotiate directly with Classic, provided they are performing up to expectations, and negate having to accept a low -bid that has proven, in this work environment, not to necessarily be in the best interest of the Village. The contract terms are for existing locations and level of service. Should either change, those changes would have to be negotiated with the contractor. This could be significant should any major beautification be undertaken. Also, should the Board elect not to award a contract or direct that the item be re -bid, staff would attempt to maintain the rights -of -way (and others) and property. However, it is doubtful that current staff would be able to match the same level of service that a competent landscape company could provide given the Village's limited resources of labor and equipment. Motion by Trustee Kennedy, seconded by Trustee Aktipis, that a 31 -month contract with annual negotiated renewals be awarded to Classic Landscape LTD., 3 N. 471 Powis Rd., West Chicago, IL. 60185, subject to staff review, for the balance of 2006, and all of . 2007 and 2008, in the total aggregate amount of $233,184. ROLL CALL VOTE: Ayes: 6 - Trustees Aktipis, Craig, Kennedy, Manofsky, Sanford and Yusuf. Nays: 0 - None. Absent: 0 - None. Motion carried. 2) HIGH VOLUME COPIER - WEST WING Pursuant to the provisions of Section 1 -7 -10 of the Village Code and Compiled Statutes, the Village is permitted to join with other governmental units in order to benefit from cooperative purchasing arrangements. VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 10 of 13 June 13, 2006 10. C. 2) The copier located in the west wing was purchased in 2001 by the Fire Department and it has over 713,000 copies. At the time it was purchased it was intended to be used by only one department. When the addition to the Village Hall was complete, the copier was moved to the West Wing and is now being used by multiple departments. The recommended Imagistics Im8130 is a higher volume machine. Staff has used the recommended copier for over a month and is satisfied with its performance. Staff is still determining whether to keep the replaced copier or declare it surplus and will notify the Board at a later meeting. Motion by Trustee Yusuf, seconded by Trustee Aktipis, that the Village Board waive further bidding since the State of Illinois already conducted the bid process and issue a purchase order to Imagistics International, Inc., Schaumburg, Illinois for an Im8130 copier in the amount $10,792 and a one year maintenance agreement for $15 per month base and $0.0053 per copy. ROLL CALL VOTE: Ayes: 6 - Trustees Aktipis, Craig, Kennedy, Manofsky, Sanford and Yusuf. Nays: 0 - None. Absent: 0 - None. Motion carried. 3) CART PATH PAVING Included in the Golf Surcharge Budget for 2006 are monies for a cart path paving project at the Golf Club's Learning and Practice Center. This project includes grading the existing path, path paving, and drainage work. The path grading and drainage work have been completed this spring utilizing our own staff. Staff has received a proposal for paving the path from the Village's 2006 Paving Project contractor. The Village has received a proposed contract from Brothers Asphalt Paving in the amount of $17,000.00 for this paving project. The proposed price per ton of asphalt is $25.00 more than the amount awarded by the Village in February for the 2006 Paving Project. In review of the proposal, Village Engineer Dale Durfey verified that the price proposed is consistent with current market conditions due in large part to oil and gas prices. This project will be completed while the contractor is still working in town on the Village's Paving Project. Staff recommends that the Village waive bidding on this project and select the Village's current paving contractor for several reasons. First, staff acknowledges that this contractor has been pre - qualified by the State for paving projects. Because of the size of the Golf Club's paving projects, State pre - qualified contractors have never bid for our work. The quality of the workmanship should be higher than the Golf Club would normally receive. Secondly, this contractor has performed work for the Village in the past and has met Village expectations. VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes Page 11 of 13 June 13, 2006 10. C. 3) Motion by Trustee Craig, seconded by Trustee Kennedy, that the Village of Oak Brook waive competitive bidding and award a contract to Brothers Asphalt Paving, Inc., 315 S. Stewart Ave., Addison, Illinois in the amount of $17,000.00 for cart path paving at the Oak Brook Golf Club. ROLL CALL VOTE: Ayes: 6 - Trustees Aktipis, Craig, Kennedy, Manofsky, Sanford and Yusuf. Nays: 0 - None. Absent: 0 - None. Motion carried. 11. INFORMATION & UPDATES A. VILLAGE PRESIDENT Trustee Yusuf was asked to report on the FIAT team. He reported that the Police Department was part of the FIAT team which is a multi- agency swat team in this area of DuPage County, commanded by the Village of Oak Brook's Police Lieutenant Cates.
