6:31 PM Purchase of a Replacement Gas Monitor for Unit #2412 – May Deputy Chief May recommended the purchase of a Drager Model X-Am 2500 4-gas monitor for Unit #2412; adding that this monitor would replace the aging, stand-alone, single-gas monitor currently in use. May went on to say that the same Drager gas monitors are currently being used in units 2430 and 2413 and can be easily calibrated in-house by Fire Department personnel. May noted that the current gas monitor in Unit #2412 has to be shipped off to MSA to be calibrated. May explained that Unit #2412 is scheduled to be replaced in the near future and that the new gas monitor would be installed in Unit #2412 temporarily until being moved to the new replacement Engine. May concluded by stating that the Village budgeted $1,000 for the purchase of the replacement gas monitor and that Banner Fire Equipment came in with a bid of $877. May also stated that delivery time would be two to three weeks.
Ok to place on the next board meeting agenda for approval.
6:35 PM Purchase of a Power Load System for Ambulance #2440 – May Deputy Chief May explained that the purchase of the Stryker Power Load stretcher loading system for Ambulance #2440 would significantly increase the safety of patient movement by eliminating a minimum of three movements on each ambulance call, reducing the potential for most EMS back injuries. May stated that adding the Power Load System to Ambulance #2440 would enable the Village to include #2440 in the weekly rotation, which would extend the life of #2442, the 2017 ambulance currently in use. Deputy Chief May went on to recommend that the Village purchase the Power Load System from Stryker Emergency Care for $22,275 and the installation of the system from American Response Vehicles for $1,500, for a total cost of $24,175. May noted that $28,000 was budgeted for this item and added that the $13,100 received from the sale of Unit #2441 would be applied to the purchase of the Power Load System, reducing the cost of the unit to $11,075. May assured the Board that there is a back-up plan in place should #2442 become unavailable during the estimated two-to-three-day period that the Power Load System will be installed in #2440.
The Board agreed with Mayor Short’s recommendation to move forward with ordering the system immediately in order to ensure that the purchase is included in this fiscal year. Delivery of the system takes 2-4 weeks.
Ok to place on the next board meeting agenda for approval.
6:44 PM Bid Results for the 2021-2022 Grass Cutting Contract – Keplar Street Superintendent Keplar requested that the mowing contract for the 2021 and 2022 mowing seasons be awarded to R&B Outdoor Services from Granite City, as their bid of $2,669.25 was the lowest of the seven bids received by the Village. Keplar stated that this bid award is pending a performance bond that has been requested at the acceptance of the mowing contract. Mayor Short noted that the previous per-cut mowing contract with Adam’s Mowing & More was $2,773.28. Short added that Attorney Genovese will work on the contract to present to R & B. Ok to place on the next board meeting agenda for approval.
6:50 PM Bid Results for the Borri Drive Drainage Improvements Project – Keplar/Mayor
Mayor Short explained that the Borri Drive drainage improvement project had to be contracted out due to the significant size of the project. He went on to say that the Village received three bids for the project and that Korte & Luitjohan Contractors submitted the lowest bid of $57,311. Short added that he was notified about a week and a half ago that the Village will be receiving a $15,000 Environmental Grant for the project. Short then requested that the Board move forward with providing the notice of award to Korte & Luitjohan. Short noted that this project is not in the current budget, but added that there is about $100,000 left in the budget for engineering this year, as well as roughly $30,000 for miscellaneous improvements.
