June 1, 2015 City Council Agenda
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff requests approval of a three-year professional
service agreement for credit card processing services, subject to a 2-year renewal
option, for a possible five-year term.
PROJECT REVIEW/RECOMMENDATIONS:
Reviewed Date Comments
Finance Committee 11/5/14
Provided overview as part of budget
discussion and consideration of a credit
card processing fee.
City Council 12/1/14
Approval of 3-year credit card
processing services agreement with
Vantiv.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: In September 2014, the Finance Department issued a
Request for Proposals for Banking, Credit Card Processing and Investment Services.
Respondents had the option to submit proposals for any one or all services solicited.
The City received seven (7) credit card processing proposals. A review of the proposals
was conducted and four (4) credit card finalists were invited to participate in interviews
the week of November 10.
The scope of services anticipated in this agreement include eight (8) current point of sale
(POS) locations, and excludes online vehicle sticker sales currently provided by contract
with another vendor and online water bill payments implemented in early 2015 which are
contracted through an exclusive provider selected by the City’s financial software
vendor (HTE Sungard). Due to significant variations in fee structures proposed and a
complex interchange rate applicable, costs can only be estimated based on historical
data. Following is a table depicting the proposers, estimated annual fees and other
factors impacting the recommendation:
Company: Est. Annual Fees Interview Rank Breach Assistance
Vantiv $102,038 1 $800,000
AMS $101,134 2 $800,000
FIS $101,149 3 $100,000
Heartland $ 95,658 4 n/a
Noble $109,633 n/a -
First Midwest $102,797 n/a -
Moneris (BMO Harris) $121,326 n/a -
Breach Assistance was specifically addressed in the interview process. This program
provides assistance towards costs associated with suspected or actual data breach
notifications from credit card associations.
As a result of proposal reviews, interviews conducted, reference checks and clarification
regarding fees proposed, the review committee recommended Vantiv for credit card
processing services, which was approved by City Council on December 1, 2014 and
implemented effective January 1, 2015. Significant operational issues have been
encountered, primarily in the areas of reporting, fees allocation by merchant account,
equipment failures, communication and responsiveness. Due to issues encountered, staff
recommends termination of the existing agreement with Vantiv and approval of a new
2
June 1, 2015 City Council Agenda
agreement with Automated Merchant Systems (AMS). AMS currently serves as the credit
card processor for the City’s online water billing system and AMS has performed
satisfactorily since go live January 2015.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: Credit card processing fees are assessed to various funds based
on the point of sale location and are projected to be reduced slightly compared to the
City’s current agreement. With the exception of direct pass-through interchange fees
associated with the credit card processing services, all fees are required to remain fixed
for the initial three-year term of the agreement.
COUNCIL ACTION: It is recommended that the City Council approve a three-year
professional service agreement (with a two-year renewal option) with Automated
Merchant Systems for credit card processing services.
3. Approve a Resolution committing to the expenditure of funds and approval
of the Local Agency Consultant Agreement for Construction Engineering
Services for Federal Participation and the Local Agency Agreement for
Federal Participation for the Lake Forest Metra Station – Union Pacific CBD
North Line Exterior Renovation Project.
STAFF CONTACT: Robert W. Ells, Superintendent of Engineering (847-810-3555)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Staff requests approval of a Resolution committing to
the expenditure of City funds for the exterior renovation of the Lake Forest Metra Station –
Union Pacific North Line facilities in downtown Lake Forest . Staff also requests approval
for the Mayor to execute the required agreements for Phase III construction engineering
services and the Local Agency Agreement between the City and the Department of
Transportation.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The City has ITEP grant funding authorization in the amount
of $1,523,520 to be used for the renovation of the Lake Forest CBD Station. The resolution
certifies that the City has authorized the expenditure of funds for the 20% match of
federal grant money. The Local Agency Agreement for Federal Participation is a
standard agreement between the City and the Department of Transportation that
stipulates the division of cost (80/20) and general conditions for the use for federal grant
funds.
The Local Agency Consultant Agreement for Federal Participation is a required
agreement for the use of the selected consultant (Gewalt-Hamilton Associates) to
provide Phase III construction engineering services. The Agreements, Resolution and
timeline can be found beginning on page 14.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: This is an 80/20 grant; the City will pay the expenditures and
receive reimbursement for 80% of the authorized construction and phase III engineering
costs. The current estimate for the construction and phase III engineering is $1,110,654.00.
The current estimated City 20% share is $222,131.00. These amounts may change
depending on the actual bids received so staff requests a 10% contingency be added
bringing the approval amounts to $1,221,720.00 and $244,344.00.
Below is an estimated summary of Project budget:

COUNCIL ACTION: Approve the four (4) Omnibus items as presented.
6. ORDINANCES
1. Consideration of a Recommendation from the Plan Commission in Support
of Final Plat Approval of the Spiel Planned Preservation Subdivision and
Approval of the Associated Special Use Permit. (If desired by the Council,
Waive First Reading and Grant Approval of the Final Plat and the
Development Plan Ordinance.)
STAFF CONTACT: Catherine Czerniak,
Director of Community Development (810-3504)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Consideration of a recommendation from the Plan
Commission in support of final approval of the Spiel Subdivision, a 6-lot Planned
Preservation Subdivision.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: In May, 2012, the City Council, based on a
recommendation from the Plan Commission, granted tentative approval of the Spiel
Subdivision. After receiving tentative approval, the property owners, the Spiels,
requested and received approval from the City Council for two extensions of the
tentative plat approval as provided for in the City Code. Originally, with tentative
approval in hand, the Spiels offered the 10-acre property for sale with the hope of finding
a developer to purchase the property and take the project through the final approval
phase. To date, a purchaser has not stepped forward however, to preserve the
approvals granted, the Spiels proceeded with finalizing the plat and engineering plans.
On September 10, 2014, the Plan Commission held a public hearing and considered a
request for final approval of the 6-lot Spiel Planned Preservation Subdivision. The final plat
of subdivision is consistent with the tentative approval and establishes buildable lots
ranging in size from one acre to two acres, provides for on site detention, preserves open
space and heritage trees, and provides for landscape screening along the perimeters of
the site in response to requests from neighboring property owners.
The Plan Commission voted 4 to 0 to recommend approval of the final plat and the
associated Special Use Permit in the form of the Development Plan Ordinance. The
approving Ordinance, including the conditions of approval as recommended by the
Plan Commission, is included in the Council packet beginning on page 73. A copy of the
Plan Commission’s report is also included in the packet as additional background.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed subdivision will provide lots for new residences. As
buildout and sale of the new lots occurs, the development will generate transfer tax
revenues, impact fees, building permit fees and property taxes.
COUNCIL ACTION: If determined to be appropriate by the City Council, waive first
reading of the Final Development Plan Ordinance approving the Special Use Permit and
5
June 1, 2015 City Council Agenda
final plat of subdivision for the Spiel Planned Preservation Subdivision, and grant final
approval.
7. NEW BUSINESS
1. Presentation on the City’s Information Technology Trends and Consultant
Report regarding Network Infrastructure Alternatives
PRESENTED BY: Elizabeth Holleb, Finance Director (847-810-3612) and
Tom Jakobsen, Senior Partner, ClientFirst Consulting Group
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: It is recommended that the City Council approve a
consultant recommendation to proceed with a Request for Proposals (RFP) for
replacement of the City’s network infrastructure utilizing a hybrid solution. The hybrid
solution entails a network infrastructure for applications provided in-house, while
electronic mail and disaster recovery would be moved to the cloud.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The City’s Five-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) has
allocated funding to replace the current network infrastructure purchased and installed
at the Municipal Services Facility in fiscal year 2007. In October 2014, the City engaged
ClientFirst Consulting Group to perform an infrastructure alternatives analysis designed to
document the current Information Technology (IT) infrastructure and its performance
characteristics, and to develop alternatives for replacement or outsourcing of this
infrastructure. The presentation to be made by Tom Jakobsen of ClientFirst can be found
beginning on page 89.
As an introduction to this topic, Finance Director Elizabeth Holleb and Assistant Director –
IT Joseph Gabanski will provide a brief presentation regarding trends in IT since 2006.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: Action requested at this time will allow staff to proceed with
development and issuance of a Request for Proposals (RFP) and/or Request for Bids, as
appropriate. A recommendation based on responses received, along with the fiscal
impact, will be presented to the City Council for consideration at a later date.
COUNCIL ACTION: Approval of a staff recommendation to proceed with a Request for
Proposals and/or Bids for network infrastructure as recommended by ClientFirst
Consulting Group.

COMMENTS BY COUNCIL MEMBERS
PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE
1. Request Approval of Design Services for a Replacement Membrane System at
the Water Treatment Plant
Chairman of the Public Works Committee Catherine Waldeck reported that the Public Works
Committee and staff are requesting City Council approval of Phase II Engineering: Procurement
and Piloting design services for future purchase of a replacement membrane system, based on
equipment and services provided by Evoqua, GE Water and Process Technologies, and Pall
Corporation, for installation at the water treatment plant. Ms. Waldeck stated that the Public
Works Committee has done and will continue its due diligence in researching other options,
Chairman Waldeck reported that at the May 18, meeting, the Public Works Committee was
presented the findings and recommendations for the alternate neighboring water supply and
private/public partnership options. Ms. Waldeck reported that after reviewing the findings, the
Public Works Committee made a recommendation to move forward with the first stage of the
proposed Phase II Engineering, which is for procurement and piloting design services. This will
maintain the overall project timeline for replacement of the existing membrane system.
Chairman Waldeck reported that while the second Committee recommendation calls for continual
study of alternatives from neighboring water supplies for peak shaving occurrences and private
public partnerships and for further discussion and input by City Council.
Ms. Waldeck stated that further discussion by City Council on Alternative No. 3 and 5 will be
proposed on August 3, 2015 in a workshop format to develop input towards bid alternatives that
will impact membrane system design capacity (Option No. 3-A or 3-C) and possibly the future
administrative approach of the water system. Staff anticipates the Phase II Membrane
Replacement System design will be completed by the fall, 2015. After placing the project out to
bid, staff will request City Council award of bid and Phase II Final Design by the end of January.
This step will allow for additional design and pilot validation prior to construction of
improvements in FY2018.

mark up. For budgeting purposes, we anticipate approximately $4,920.00 for reimbursable expenses, as
indicated above. No permit fees or review fees are included in this proposal.
Invoices will be submitted on a time and material basis and will detail services performed. Statements of
GHA charges made against a project are submitted to clients every four weeks. This allows the client to
review the status of the work in progress and the charges made. As part of the GHA statement, a separate
review of the Man-Hour Estimate within the original scope will be provided. Additional hours considered
to be outside the original scope of services will be identified. Should GHA determine that the original
Man-Hour Estimate is to be exceeded; a written modification to the proposal will be required.
V. General Conditions of this Agreement
The delineated services provided by Gewalt Hamilton Associates, Inc., (GHA) under this Agreement will
be performed as reasonably required in accordance with the generally accepted standards for civil
engineering and surveying services as reflected in the contract for this project at the time when and the
place where the services are performed.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create a contractual relationship with or a cause of action in
favor of a third party against either the Client or GHA. GHA’s services under this Agreement are being
performed solely for the Client’s benefit, and no other party or entity shall have any claim against GHA
because of this Agreement or the performance or nonperformance of services hereunder. In no event shall
GHA be liable for any loss of profit or any consequential damages.
GHA shall not have control of and shall not be responsible for construction means, methods, techniques,
sequences or procedures, or for job site safety measures. Such control is the sole responsibility of the
Client’s contractor.
The Client and GHA agree that all disputes between them arising out of or relating to this Agreement or
the Project shall be submitted to nonbinding mediation in Chicago, Illinois unless the parties mutually
agree otherwise.
This Agreement, including all subparts and Attachment A, which is attached hereto and incorporated
herein as the General Provisions of this Agreement, constitute the entire integrated agreement between the
parties which may not be modified without all parties consenting thereto in writing.
Encl.: Attachment A

ATTACHMENT A TO GEWALT HAMILTON ASSOCIATES, INC.
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
The delineated services provided by Gewalt Hamilton Associates, Inc., (GHA) under this Agreement will be
performed as reasonably required in accordance with the generally accepted standards for civil engineering and
surveying services as reflected in the contract for this project at the time when and the place where the services are
performed.
The terms of this Agreement are subject to renegotiation if not accepted within 60 days of the date indicated on the
contract. Requests for extension beyond 60 days should be made in writing prior to the expiration date. The fees
and terms of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for one year from the date of acceptance of the
Agreement, and shall be subject to revision at that time, or any time thereafter, if GHA gives written notice to the
other party at least 60 days prior to the requested date of revision. In the event that the parties fail to agree on the
new rates or other revisions, either party may terminate this Agreement by giving the other party 10 days written
notice.
Payments are due within (30) days after a statement is rendered. Fees not paid within 60 days of the end of the
calendar month in which the statement is rendered will bear interest at the rate of one percent (1.0%) per month until
paid. The provision for the payment of interest shall not be construed as authorization to make payments late.
Failure of the Client to make payments when due shall, at the option of GHA, be cause for suspension of services.
Upon notification by GHA of suspension of services, Client shall make payment of all outstanding invoices within
seven days. Client’s failure to make such payment to GHA shall constitute a material breach of the Agreement and
shall be cause for termination by GHA. GHA shall be entitled to reimbursement of all costs actually incurred by
GHA in collecting overdue accounts under this Agreement, including, without limitations, legal fees and costs.
The Client’s obligation to pay for the professional services provided is in no way dependent upon the Client’s ability
to obtain financing, rezoning, payment from a third party, approval of governmental or regulatory agencies or the
Client’s successful completion of the project.
The Client and GHA agree that any documents prepared by either party shall conform to the specifications listed in
the Engineering Agreement. Any electronic files submitted by GHA to the Client are submitted for an acceptance
period of 10 days. Any defects the Client discovers during this period will be reported to GHA and will be corrected
as part of GHA’s Basic Scope of Services. Corrections of defects detected and reported after the acceptance period
will be compensated for as Additional Services.
The Client acknowledges GHA’s plans and specifications, including field data, notes, calculations, and all
documents or data on electronic media, as instruments of professional service. The plans and specifications
prepared under this Agreement shall become the property of the Client upon completion of the services and payment
in full of all monies due to GHA. However, GHA shall retain ownership rights over all electronic data and
documents.
The Client shall not reuse or make or permit to be made any modification to the plans, specifications, or electronic
data without the prior written authorization of GHA. The Client agrees to waive any claim against GHA arising
from any unauthorized reuse or modification of the plans and specifications or electronic data. The Client agrees, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, to defend and indemnify and hold GHA harmless from any damage, liability or
cost, including attorneys’ fees and costs, arising from any reuse or modification of the plans, specifications, or
electronic data by the Client or any person or entity which acquires or obtains the plans, specifications, or electronic
data from or through the Client.
The client is aware that differences may exist between the electronic files delivered and the printed plans and
specifications. In the event of a conflict between the signed and/or sealed printed plans and specifications prepared
by GHA and electronic files, the signed and/or sealed printed plans and specifications shall govern.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) provides that it is a violation of the ADA to design and construct a
facility for first occupancy later than January 26, 1993, that does not meet the accessibility and usability
requirements of the ADA except where an entity can demonstrate that it is structurally impractical to meet such
requirements. The Client acknowledges that the requirements of the ADA will be subject to various, and possibly
contradictory interpretations. GHA, therefore, will use reasonable professional efforts to interpret applicable ADA
requirements and other federal, state and local laws, rules, codes, ordinances, and regulations as they apply to the
project. GHA, however cannot and does not warrant or guarantee that the Client’s project will comply with
22
July 15, 2014 GHA Proposal No. 2014.CS094 Page 4 of 5
interpretations of ADA requirements and/or requirements of other federal, state and local laws, rules, codes,
ordinances, and regulations as they apply to the project.
If required by the contracted scope of services, GHA, shall prepare an opinion of probable construction costs, which
shall be submitted to the Client for review. Since GHA has no control over the cost of labor, materials, or
equipment, or over the contractor’s methods of determining prices, or over competitive bidding or market
conditions, opinions of probable costs, if called for by this Agreement as part of GHA’s scope, shall be made on the
basis of experience and qualifications applied to the program contemplated by the Agreement and information
provided by Owner, and represent a reasonable judgment as a design professional familiar with the construction
industry. However, GHA cannot and does not guarantee or warrant that proposals, bids, or the actual construction
costs will not vary from opinions of probable cost prepared for the Client. If the Client wishes greater assurance as
to the construction cost, Client agrees it will employ an independent cost estimator.
If required by the Scope of Services, GHA shall visit the project at defined intervals during construction to become
generally familiar with the progress and quality of the contractors’ work to determine if the work is proceeding in
general conformance with the Contract Documents.
Client agrees that GHA does not have control of and is not responsible for construction means, methods, techniques,
sequences or procedures, or for safety measures and programs including enforcement of Federal, State and County
safety requirements, in connection with construction work performed by the Client’s construction contractors. GHA
is not responsible for the supervision of Client’s construction contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, suppliers, or
any of their employees, agents and representatives of such contractors; or responsible for any machinery,
construction equipment, and tools used and employed by contractors and subcontractors in the project. GHA, Inc.
has no authority or right to stop the work. In no event shall GHA be liable for the acts or omissions of Client’s
construction contractors, subcontractors, materialmen or suppliers, or any persons or entities performing any of the
construction work, or for failure of any of them to carry out their work as called for by the Construction Documents.
Neither the professional activities of GHA, nor the presence of GHA or its employees and subconsultants (if any) at
a construction site, shall relieve the Contractor or any other entity of their obligations, duties and responsibilities
including but not limited to, construction means, methods, sequence, techniques, or procedures necessary for
performing, superintending or coordinating all portions of the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents and
any health or safety precautions required by any regulatory agencies or industry practice. GHA personnel have no
authority or right to exercise any control or direction over any construction contractor or other entity or their
employees in connection with their work or any health or safety precautions. The Client agrees that the Contractor
is solely responsible for jobsite safety, and warrants that this intent shall be included in the Client’s agreement with
the Contractor. The Client also agrees that the Client, GHA, and GHA’s personnel and consultants shall be
defended/indemnified by the Contractor for all claims asserted against GHA which arise out of the Contractor’s or
its subcontractors’ negligence, errors or omissions in their performance of their work, and shall also be named as an
additional insured under the Contractor(s)’s general liability insurance policy.
It is acknowledged by both parties that GHA’s scope of services does not include any services related to asbestos,
mold, fungus or any other hazardous or toxic materials, contaminants or pollutants. In the event that GHA, or any
other party encounters asbestos mold, fungus or any other hazardous or toxic materials, contaminants or pollutants at
the job site, or it should become known in any way that such materials may be present at the jobsite or any adjacent
areas that may affect the performance of GHA, GHA may, at its option and without liability for consequential or any
other damages, suspend performance of its services on the project until the Client retains appropriate specialist
consultants or contractors to identify, abate and/or remove the asbestos, mold, fungus or any other hazardous or
toxic materials, contaminants or pollutants and further warrant that the jobsite is in full compliance with applicable
laws and regulations.
If required by the scope of services, records drawings (or revised specifications) will be prepared, in part, on the
basis of information compiled and furnished by others, the accuracy of which GHA may reasonably rely upon, GHA
will not be responsible for any errors or omissions, which have been incorporated into this document due to
information furnished by others.
When preparing civil engineering or surveying plans and drawings, information on existing underground utilities or
soil conditions is provided from the best information available. This information may be obtained from visible
surface evidence, utility company records or soil borings, and is not represented to be the exact location of these
utilities or soils in the fields. Client agrees that GHA may reasonably rely on the accuracy of information furnished
by third parties. Contractor is solely responsible for exact utility locations. Client shall not hold GHA responsible
for Contractor’s error/omission in the utility locations. Client agrees GHA is not responsible for additional costs,
23
July 15, 2014 GHA Proposal No. 2014.CS094 Page 5 of 5
which result from utility conflicts or unforeseen conditions. If the Client wishes to obtain the services of a contractor
to provide test holes and exact utility locations, GHA, may incorporate that information into the design and
reasonably rely upon same. If not included in the scope of services, such work will be compensated as additional
services.
The Client agrees to limit GHA’s professional liability to the Client and to all construction contractors, or
subcontractors on the project arising from GHA, Inc.’s alleged negligent acts, errors, or omissions, such that the
total aggregate liability of GHA, Inc. to all those named shall not exceed $50,000 or GHA’s total fee for the services
rendered on this project, whichever is greater. GHA, Inc. makes no warranties, either expressed or implied,
including any warranty of habitability, merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose. In no event shall GHA
be liable for any loss of profit or any consequential damages.
All claims, disputes, controversies or matters in question arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any breach
thereof, including but not limited to disputes arising out of alleged design defects, breaches of contract, errors,
omissions, or acts of professional negligence (collectively “disputes”) shall be submitted to mediation before and as
a condition precedent to any other remedy. Upon written request by either party to this Agreement for mediation of
any dispute, the Client and GHA shall select by mutual agreement a neutral mediator. Such selection shall be made
within ten (10) calendar days of the date of receipt by the other party of the written request for mediation. In the
event of failure to reach such agreement or in any instance when the selected mediator is unable or unwilling to
serve and a replacement mediator cannot be agreed upon by Client or GHA within ten (10) calendar days, a
mediator shall be chosen as specified in the Construction Industry Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration
Association then in effect. Mediation shall take place in Chicago, Illinois unless the Client and GHA agree
otherwise. The fees of the mediator(s) and costs incurred by the mediator(s) shall be apportioned equally between
the parties.
Either the Client or GHA may terminate this Agreement without penalty at any time with or without cause upon
giving the other party ten (10) calendar days prior written notice. The Client shall, within thirty (30) calendar days
of termination pay GHA for all services rendered and all costs incurred up to the date of termination, in accordance
with compensation provisions to this Agreement. The Client shall also reimburse GHA termination expenses,
including, but not limited to, those associated with demobilization, reassignment of personnel and space and
