Resolution
• Approval of bid for remodel of office space on Brandywine Drive
A motion to approve was made by Mr. Robinson and seconded by Mr. Adamson. Mr. O’Connell explained that the remodel was an FY 2017 project that was delayed due to environmental issues.
He stated that as a result, the design was unable to be finalized and the remaining funds were returned to Fund Balance at the end of 2017. He advised that staff requests that the remaining
balance of $560,000.00 of the project allocation be reinstated into the 2018 Capital Improvement budget.
Mr. O’Connell advised that the bid was structured as a Base Bid and Alternate Bid #1, with the intent of using the Alternate Bid as a means of tracking the Common Area construction expenses.
He stated that of the four bids received, Bishop Brothers is the apparent low bidder at a combined bid of $408,600.00.
Mr. O’Connell advised that several issues are still to be resolved, including the power requirements of the project. He stated that the architect and engineer believe that a larger electrical service is necessary, and staff is working with Ameren to upsize a transformer. He commented that the cost will come from Contingencies. He also advised that the contractor is attempting to identify if additional remediation is needed. He commented that remediation may become an owner issue or shared issue between the owner and Peoria County.
Mr. O’Connell advised that staff recommends moving forward with the renovation despite the outstanding issues so that the Election Commission is able to move their office in time for the November elections.
(Mr. Robinson leaves meeting.)
A motion to go into executive session to discuss Probable Litigation was made by Mr. Robinson and seconded by Mr. Adamson. The motion carried.
EXECUTIVE SESSION
Regular session resumed upon a motion by Mr. Rand and second by Mr. Dillon.
The motion to approve the resolution carried unanimously, with Mr. Rand voting aye as ex officio.
Miscellaneous
Mr. Salzer advised that he had received a request from another committee chairman to move the meeting time of the Infrastructure Committee from 4:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. beginning with the April 23, 2018 meeting. He stated that the Land Use Committee would then meet immediately after the Infrastructure Committee. There were no objections to the time changes.
Adjournment
The meeting was adjourned by Chairman Salzer at 5:40 p.m.
