Services through Pricing Secured by the Suburban Purchasing Cooperative

Bid Process

RES 23-162

A Resolution Approving a Professional Services Agreement for Police and

Firefighters’ Pension Plan Actuarial Services with Lauterbach & Amen, LLP

for Fiscal Years Ending December 31, 2023, 2024, and 2025 for a Total

Amount Not to Exceed $37,020, Authorizing its Execution and Waiving the

Bid Process for the Agreement

Overview:

The Village has contracted with Lauterbach & Amen, LLP to provide Police and

Firefighters’ Pension Plan actuarial valuations for the last six fiscal years, the

most recent of which ended December 31, 2022. Although downstate public

safety pension investments have been consolidated at the State level, actuarial

calculations are still required to determine an annual levy amount for the

Village’s contribution to the plans.

Lauterbach & Amen already provides each pension plan with

bookkeeping/accounting services and having the same firm perform the

actuarial valuations creates a great deal of synergy and efficiency. Staff,

therefore, recommends foregoing the typical RFP process and engagement

with Lauterbach & Amen for another three-year term.

RES 23-166

A Resolution Approving a Professional Services Agreement for Other Post

Employment Benefit (OPEB) Valuation Services with Lauterbach & Amen,

LLP for Fiscal Years Ending December 31, 2023, 2024, and 2025 for a Total

Amount Not to Exceed $6,780, Authorizing its Execution and Waiving the

Village’s Bid Process for the Agreement

Overview:

The Village has contracted with Lauterbach & Amen, LLP to provide Other Post

Employment Benefit valuations for the last six fiscal years, the most recent of

which ended December 31, 2022. Annual OPEB valuations are required by the

Government Accounting Standards Board and the liabilities are included in the

Annual Comprehensive Financial Report.

Village staff has been extremely satisfied with the services provided by L&A

over the last several years in providing OPEB valuation services. In addition,

since Lauterbach has data from prior years and a solid understanding of the

Village’s health insurance benefits, this will result in less time and effort in

preparing future OPEB valuations compared to a new firm which would require

additional effort to become familiar with the Village’s benefits and

employee/retiree data.

Although the value of the contract for the three years is well below the $25K

threshold requiring Board approval under the purchasing policies, for the

reason cited above, staff recommends foregoing the RFP/bidding process for

OPEB services and entering into a new contract with L&A. The purpose of this

agenda item is therefore for transparency purposes.

RES 23-180

A Resolution Approving the Village Manager and Deputy Village Manager

as the Village’s Certifying Officers for the United States Department of

Delegation of Certifying Officers for the Environmental Review,

decision-making, and action responsibilities under the National Environmental

A Resolution Approving a Professional Services Agreement for Auditing Services

with Sikich LLP for Fiscal Years Ending December 31, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027

for an Aggregate Total Amount Not to Exceed $404,800, Authorizing its Execution

and Waiving the Village’s Bid Process for the Agreement

RES 23-207

Overview:

The Village’s five-year contract with Sikich LLP ended with the Fiscal Year 2022

audit. Due to the long-term relationship dating back to 2002 and the high

satisfaction level that the Village has had with Sikich over these years, staff is

recommending to forego the RFP process and execute a new five-year agreement

with Sikich.

RES 23-217

the Professional Services Agreement with Metro Strategies Group, LLC to

provide grant services.

RES 23-220

A Resolution Approving the Final Program Year 2023 Action Plan for

Federal Community Development Block Grant Funds and Submittal of the

Plan to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development

Overview:

Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community Development (“Con Plan”),

Since August 2018, the Eggen Consulting Group has been providing technical

and administrative support to the Water & Sewer Division of the Public Works

Department. The current agreement will expire on September 30, 2023. Staff

is recommending executing a fifteen-month agreement to assist staff with

Agreement with H&H Electric Co. for 2023 Emergency Street Lighting and

Overview:

In January 2023, the Village entered into an agreement with H&H Electric Co.

to assist the Village in Emergency Street Lighting repairs in the amount not to

exceed $45,000.00. As a result of additional funds received by the Village

from recovered damages, it is proposed to increase the not to exceed amount

from $45,000.00 to $59,500.00 to allow for additional emergency repairs.

RES 23-234

Overview:

Competitive bids were opened on July 19, 2023 for the pavement preservation

project. The Village received one bid for the project from R.W. Dunteman

Company in an amount of $450,000. The bid is close to the engineer’s estimate

for the project and represents a competitive bid. Staff recommends awarding a

contract for this project at the budgeted amount of $450,000 in order to get

additional patching work completed. The project involves pavement patching,

crack filling, micro surfacing, and pavement rejuvenators on local streets

throughout the Village.

RES 23-236
