Overview
Overview

Recommendation
Recommendation
Approve the Resolution.
Fiscal Impact
In the FY 2021 Street Services budget, there is $105,000.00 to perform street sweeping services in the General Contractual account no., 1001-43740-761-530660.
Proposed in the FY 2022 budget will be $110,000.00 for these services.
Per the terms of the initial agreement, the contractor may request an increase for their services in an amount no greater than the published Consumer Price Index (CPI) for June of the renewal year, not to exceed 5%. As shown in the attachment, the latest CPI for June was 5.4%. Since the latest CPI was greater than the cap the increase will be limited to 5%.
Background
The Village is responsible for maintaining approximately 250 lane miles which include the sweeping of main arterials and residential streets as well as the twelve separate Business District areas. This contractor also assists in sweeping streets at the end of the fall leaf pickup operation.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and in an effort to reduce costs, this service was reduced from nine Village-wide sweepings per year to six. The proposed renewal is for six sweepings plus the fall leaf pickup operation sweeping.
Competitive bids were opened on June 19th, 2019, in response to a call for bids for 2019-2020 Village Wide Street Sweeping Services that was sent out on June 5, 2019. Three bids were received. The low responsible bid was submitted by Waste Management, Inc.
Waste Management of Illinois, Inc. has done this work for the Village for the last eight years. They have provided responsive and quality work.
Typical agreements with Village contractors include the possibility of renewing the agreement for two additional one-year terms after the initial one-year agreement. This would be the second of two additional periods.
