Mr. Fieldman then asked Deputy Manager Mike Baker to present the report on the Village Facilities project.
Mick Baker, Deputy Village Manager, began by showing a video prepared by Village staff explaining the proposed project to construct a combined Village Hall/Police Department, which would improve public safety issues and bring those buildings up to ADA standards. The project will begin in 2019 with a proposed completion date in 2021. The project includes a medical office building and 10-12 townhomes. The revenues from the property sale combined with existing Village revenue will pay for approximately 85% of the cost of the project. No increase in property taxes is anticipated. Mr. Baker thanked Doug Kozlowski and Chris Derylo for preparing the video. He said that work on this project has been extensive over the last month for all Village departments. On January 15, the Village Council authorized a contract for pre-design services and the scope of work is nearly completed and proceeding on schedule. He noted items on tonight's agenda related to this project.
Mayor White said he thought this plan was excellent.
6. Consent Agenda
Todd Paradis, 417 67th Ct., asked about the facility contract with KLOA that had six bids. No table was shown as to the other bids made. He said the CCS project also had 12 bids but no tabulations were reported. He thought it would be helpful to include that information when multiple bids are involved.
Mr. Fieldman said the Village is committed to competitive selection processes. Bids are well defined. For professional services, the scope is not always well defined and the prices vary. He said that staff interviews and negotiates the scope and price. He said there is no bid or bid price. He noted that in these instances the Village is hiring a firm.
