Recommendation
Recommendation
Approve the Resolution.

Fiscal Impact
The Recommended FY 2022 Budget for External Support includes $1,050,000 (account #1001-46250-101-530667). This contract will not exceed $50,000.00 of the overall $1,050,000.00 budgeted amount.

Background
The State of Illinois requires elevators to be inspected annually. A majority of Illinois municipalities outsource their elevator safety inspection programs due to the complexity of elevator machinery.

The Village contracted with Thompson Elevator Inspection Service to handle inspection and review services starting back in 2000. Thompson Elevator completed the Request for Proposal process issued September 23, 2019 and was chosen to perform services in 2020 with two additional one-year optional terms. The agreement was renewed for the first optional term for services in 2021. Staff is pleased with the services provided by Thompson. The current recommended renewal calls for providing the same services.

Alternatives
The Village Board could direct that specialized in-house staff be hired to perform the inspection and review services or decide not to renew this agreement for an additional optional one-year term.

Previous Board Action
The Board approved RES 19-354 on December 2, 2019 for services in 2020 with two additional one-year optional terms....
