J.1. Resolution Approving a Contract with Ferguson Enterprises Inc. for the Purchase of Neptune Water Meters and AMI System. First Read Only; no vote
Director Hughes addressed the Board regarding the purchase of water meters. Staff provided background on the water meter change out program at the November 7, 2017 Committee of the Whole meeting. Staff met with several vendors who provided system specifications and cost estimates to ensure the system could meet future needs. The systems are proprietary and for the most part not interchangeable. Due to the complexities of the systems, the long term commitment to maintenance with a specific vendor, and the difficulty of comparing “apples-to-oranges”, staff recommended waiving sealed bids in accordance with 1-19-17A of the Village Code.
The Village needs to replace its water meters and components that transfer the meter readings to the Village for billing. The Village has approximately 11,600 commercial, industrial and residential water meter accounts. Staff reads approximately 1,500 water meters manually for a variety of reasons. The current supplier of the existing meter reading technology is no longer manufacturing or supporting the equipment and a large percentage of the equipment in more than 15 years old. There are also meters from multiple manufacturers in the system. Staff recommends replacing all of the existing water meters, outside readers, radio transmitters and the collectors. The water meter system consists for four components: 1) the water meter and register, 2) the radio transmitter, 3) the collectors, and 4) the software.
Residential and commercial water meters measure the volume of water for the property and the register stores and records the usage. Modern registers can store up to 90 days of usage and can detect minor and major leaks. As meters age they will under-measure the volume which reduces revenue for the Village. The radio transmitters send the meter readings remotely from the register to a collector mounted on a public facility; typically a water tower. The collectors are accessed through the internet, eliminating the need to send Village personnel into the field to read each meter. Each transmitter has a 20-year battery life; many of the current transmitters are not functioning properly and need to be replaced. Staff anticipates installing three collectors. The software processes the system data from the collectors and stores the data on a server. This data can be accessed to review all account activity, process reports and give customers web access to view their account. This software also interfaces with the Village software to generate customer invoices.
The Village will purchase from Ferguson Enterprises Inc. and Ferguson will install the collectors and software now. Staff is developing specifications for the replacement program which will be bid out within the next few months. Once the system is up and running, staff will initiate the meter replacement program. Staff will purchase meters in sufficient quantity to ensure the contractor can keep pace with the four year program. Staff anticipates spending approximately $1.7 M this coming fiscal year and a little more than $5.4M over the life of the project. These dollar figures are exclusive of any meters purchased due to new development in the Village.
Board and staff discussion focused on why we are not going out for competitive bids; multiple options for the meters; Ferguson is appropriate for the Village’s needs; just buying the meters; changing out all meters; receiving station on three towers; separate contract for the hosting agreement; labor for installation will be bid out; Ferguson is the only vendor in the area; uncomfortable with not bidding out. There was no further discussion.
Item to be brought back for vote at a future meeting.
J.2. Clarke Agreement
Purchasing Manager Callahan addressed the Board regarding the mosquito contract. The Village has been under contract with Clarke through the 2017 season; at which time the current contract expired. The past agreement was a three year contract. Staff negotiated a 10.5% reduction over the previous year, saving the Village an additional $9,839 annually. The proposed agreement is for five years. Years 2018 and 2019 will be reduced to $83,398.12 and the remaining years 2020-2022 will only increase in price, but not exceed the annual cost of living rate, if necessary. Clarke will provide the following:
• GIS mapping and tracking of vehicles
• Mosquito hotline access for residents
• Public relations and educational brochures
• Comprehensive insurance coverage
• Regulatory compliance on local, state and federal levels
• Monthly reports
• Program consulting
• Surveillance & monitoring
• Larval and adult control
➢ Larval control is the application process of tablets placed in catch basins
There will be eight adult control applications where Clarke’s trucks will spray the Village. The contract also provides for three applications in limited areas for special events. Staff researched other firms which provide mosquito management services and found that they do not provide the level of service required by the Village. In particular, Clarke provides public relations program that notifies residents upon request of any spraying. They use GIS to track their vehicles which assists the Village in responding to service issues. They have sufficient equipment to complete each spray application in one night. The Village has a great relationship with Clarke and their representatives and anticipate the same in the future. There was no further discussion

J.3. Resolution Authorizing the Execution of a Professional Engineering Agreement with HR Green,
Incorporated for Years 2018 to 2020 General Consultation Services. Resolution No. 18-R-25
Director Hughes addressed the Board regarding an agreement for professional services with HR Green. The contract with HR Green expires in 2018. The proposed contract is identical to past contracts except for the dates. The Village can verbally initiate any project where the expected cost will be less than $1,000. Should the estimated cost be more, the Village will issue a work order. Director Hughes will remain the Village’s officially designated “Village Engineer” and will continue to sign official documents on behalf of the Village. HR Green will provide technical assistance for engineering matters such as annual bridge inspections, road resurfacing contracts and consultation on past projects.
Board and staff discussion focused on paid on a per project basis; using them as a second opinion, or for engineering work that the Village Engineer cannot handle in-house; have been using HR Green for years. There was no further discussion

J.4. Ordinance Adopting the Capital Improvement Plan Fiscal Years 2019-2038 of the Village of Oswego, Kendall and Will Counties, Illinois. (First Read of Ordinance, Waiver of Second Read) Ordinance No. 18-22
Director Horton addressed the Board regarding the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Staff has identified the capital improvements to be completed within the next twenty years and updated the CIP document. The CIP is a planning document created to allow staff and the Village Board to discuss the improvements and plan for their completion. The CIP will be reviewed and updated annually with projects being prioritized and funding determined for project completion. The CIP is intended to be a working document and not meant to suggest everything in the document will be completed as scheduled. $13 million in capital improvements is included in the Fiscal Year 2019 Village Budget. General accounting best practices suggest the CIP be adopted by the governing body. The Capital Improvement Plan details over $96 million in capital improvements identified for completion within the next five years. There was no further discussion

J.6. New Truck Purchase
Public Works Shop Superintendent Bavuso addressed the Board regarding the purchase of a truck from Rush Truck Center in Chicago, IL. Staff chose International over the other truck manufacturers because they can build a chassis that meets the requirements within the Village’s budget. Purchasing Manager Callahan was able to lower the price of the truck by an additional $5,050 with the help of dealer incentives from Navistar Inc. The up fitting for the dump bed, plow and salt spreader will be performed by Bonnell Industries Inc. for consistency with the existing fleet. This will continue to standardize the Village fleet for maintenance costs as well as training.
The vehicle being replaced is used primarily for snow removal operations and is underutilized during the warmer months due to the high sides of the dump body. The new truck will be outfitted with a lower bed height to allow for the vehicle to be used year-round for a variety of tasks including pavement patching, infrastructure repairs, moving cargo, and special events. The vehicle is sized to compete with the larger trucks during snow removal operations and haul salt as well as pre-treatment liquid, but will have better maneuverability. Staff proposes to paint the vehicle pink to promote breast cancer awareness as well as public works profession as a career opportunity for women. We will use this truck at community engagement situations such as touch-a-truck events. This particular truck is not available through the State of Illinois joint purchasing program. The new truck will replace PW 11 (policy score of 29) as this vehicle qualifies as a high priority replacement.
Board and staff discussion focused on the truck will be midsized; prototype to see if it can be used year round; using fleet more efficiently; trading in the replacement vehicle; may need to change the Village logo to black instead of white; bed height; utility of a smaller vehicle, but strength of a larger vehicle; will reduce maintenance; five year warranty; standardizing the fleet.There was no further discussion

J.7. Resolution Approving the Purchase of Wine from Breakthru Beverage Illinois, LLC in an Amount Not to Exceed $62,000 and the Waiving of the Competitive Bidding Requirement. First Read Only; no vote.
Director Cole addressed the Board regarding the purchase of wine for Wine on the Fox. The Village proposes to purchase roughly 2/3 of the wine at the event from Breakthru Beverage, an alcohol distributor. The wine will be sold to the Village at wholesale price, as mandated by law. The Village will receive a formal invoice from the distributor once the Village’s State special event liquor license is posted by the State and the distributor can review it. The product will be delivered immediately before the event, inventoried and signed off by both parties. The Village will pay the distributor for the product at that time. The Village will only pay for the opened product cases.
The resolution will authorize the Village to process the transaction for an amount not to exceed $62,000. Staff anticipates the value will be lower. The resolution will also allow the waiver of competitive bidding. Julie Hoffman, Community Engagement Coordinator for Special Events, managed the selection of Breakthru Beverage Illinois. Initially she requested recommendations from the CEO of Special Events Management Inc., an event management company out of Chicago. Based on those recommendations, Julie reached out to at least five distributors in mid-February. The respondents either did not represent wines, were insufficiently responsive, or had a previous commitment for the event weekend. Breakthru Beverage, had numerous wines and was interested in partnering with Oswego.
Board and staff discussion focused on having smaller wineries attend; currently working with Fox Valley Winery and five other local wineries; ten booths in total; possibly one beer vendor; whether there is a guarantee that the distributor will buy back the product in a timely manner. There was no further discussion.
Item to be brought back for vote at a future meeting.
