Monday, May 3, 2021 City Council Agenda
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Over the past months, the U.S. Government and the State of
Illinois have issued multiple orders declaring a state of emergency over the country and the
State of Illinois in order to address the impact of the global pandemic from COVID-19. In order
to address the impact this pandemic has had on the City of Lake Forest, Mayor Pandaleon
exercised his authority to issue a Declaration of a Local State of Emergency on Saturday, April
4, 2020. At its April 6, 2020, City Council meeting, the City Council extended the Declaration
to the next City Council meeting which was April 19, 2021.
In order to ensure that the emergency powers authorized by the local declaration remain in
effect where necessary, the Mayor is asking the City Council to further extend the Declaration
of a Local State of Emergency until the next City Council meeting that takes place after May
3, 2021.
REVIEW/RECOMMENDATIONS: Following the Mayor exercising his authority to issue a
Declaration of a Local State of Emergency on April 2, 2020. The City Council Approved the
Mayor's Declaration on the following dates; 4/6/2020, 4/20/2020, 5/4/2020, 5/18/2020,

6. Approval of a Recommendation from the Public Works Committee to Award the
Lake Forest portion of the Municipal Partnership Initiative (MPI) 2021 Joint Sewer
Lining Project contract Low Bid to Hoerr Construction in the Not-To-Exceed
Budgeted Amount of $175,000.
STAFF CONTACT: Robert W. Ells, Superintendent of Engineering (847-810-3555)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: The Public Works Committee and staff requests approval
of the contract for the Lake Forest share of the 2021 Joint Sewer Lining Project to Hoerr
Construction.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The City maintains 139 miles of mainline sanitary sewers and 219
miles of storm sewer throughout the City. The pipe material that was predominantly used in
the past to construct the sewers was a clay material. The clay pipes are most susceptible to
deterioration from natural elements and root intrusions resulting in broken pipes and leaking
joints. With a deteriorated pipe, the functionality of the pipe to carry the flows is compromised
thereby creating surcharges and/or backups.
This reconstruction technique is done without the expensive and disruptive excavation
process. The process provides for the insertion of a special liner inside the pipe, creating a
new smooth-surfaced, long-lasting pipe within the old sewer.
This project was bid under the Municipal Partnering Program (MPI) with Highland Park, and
Mundelein with Lake Forest as the lead agency.
This Contract may be renewed for up to three additional and consecutive one-year terms,
upon the mutual written consent of the City and Contractor.

The low bidder, Hoerr Construction, has worked in The City of Lake Forest on several sewer
lining projects over the last four years. The projects have been completed on time and the
work was satisfactory to Engineering’s staff.
If approved by City Council, the project would commence on or about June 5th and be
completed by the end of August. Upon confirming the start date of the project, a letter will
be sent to the residents within the limits of the project two weeks prior to start of construction.
The City’s website, under “Construction Updates”, will also provide details on the construction
schedule.

Lake Forest portion of the Municipal Partnership Initiative (MPI) 2021 Concrete Curb
and Sidewalk Replacement Project to Schroeder and Schroeder, Inc. for a Not-to-
Exceed Amount of $75,000.
STAFF CONTACT: Robert W. Ells, Superintendent of Engineering (847-810-3555)
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: The Public Works Committee and staff requests approval
of a one-year extension of the 2019 Concrete Curb and Sidewalk Replacement Project with
Schroeder and Schroeder, Inc. for the 2021 MPI Joint Curb and Sidewalk Replacement
Project.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: This project is the City’s annual Sidewalk Replacement program
that replaces hazardous and deteriorated sections of sidewalk, curb, and gutter.
Based on the City Sidewalk Survey and requests for replacement of concrete sidewalk and
curb from residents and businesses, the City’s Engineering staff prioritizes the locations for
replacement based on the severity of their condition on an annual basis.
City staff have previously briefed the City Council on Municipal Partnership Initiative (MPI), a
program that takes advantage of economies of scale by securing low bid prices among
neighboring municipalities who bid similar projects each year. In 2019, the City joined forces
with Lake Bluff, Highland Park, Glencoe, Lincolnwood, and Winnetka to have a joint bid for
the 2019 Concrete Curb and Sidewalk Replacement Project.

BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: The project was bid in mid-March with the bids opened on March 25,
2021. The City received a total of five bids.
The low bidder, Aqua Contractors, has completed similar projects for other communities of
this nature in a satisfactory manner.
If approved by City Council, the project would commence on or about May 24th and be

sent to the residents within the limits of the project two weeks prior to start of construction. The
City’s website, under “Construction Updates”, will also provide details on the construction
schedule.
The City received prices that are greater than the Engineer’s Estimate; it is the
recommendation of staff to reduce the proposed quantity of valves to be replaced to be
within the $300,000 budget amount. The list of valves in need of replacement is longer than
the available budgeted funds and we intend on funding a valve replacement program on a
yearly basis to replace the most important valves first.

Monday, May 3, 2021 City Council Agenda
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: City Staff and the Cemetery Commission requests
approval to award a one year contract with Mariani Landscape, for $42,900 to provide
mowing and grounds maintenance services for the Cemetery.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The Lake Forest Cemetery is located in the northeast corner of
Lake Forest at the north end of Lake Road. The Cemetery is comprised of twenty-three acres
and contains the remains of approximately 6,500 people. The premise upon which the
Cemetery operates is that we are not just maintaining the grounds and landscape, but we
are caring for families loved ones who are interred here and as such, the standards of
maintenance and appearance at the cemetery must reflect that premise and the
Cemetery’s concern for those interred.
Over the past 20 years, there have been a number of changes that have impacted
maintenance at the Cemetery. Due to the changing landscape of the industry and in order
to better serve the community we have added the Memorial Garden columbarium along
with its gardens and also cemetery services such as interment services, flower planting, and
memorial cleaning. The past decade has also seen a 14% increase in the number of
interments over the previous 10 year period all while operating at low staffing levels. Due to
the increased operating requirements we are finding we are not able to keep pace with
necessary service levels.
The Cemetery is seeking to contract out basic mowing services in order to maintain the high
level of services expected by our families by freeing up staff to attend to the more cemetery
specific detail services. Thanks to fiscally prudent management by the Cemetery Commission
over the years, the Cemetery has the resources to address this need.

Design Group in the Amount of $38,105, plus 10% Contingency in the Amount of

STAFF CONTACT: Chuck Myers, Superintendent of Parks and Forestry, 810-3565
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: The Public Works Committee, Parks & Recreation Board
and City staff requests City Council award South Park Parking Lot Design Services to
Hitchcock Design Group in the amount of $38,105, plus 10% contingency in the amount of
$3,895, for a total of $42,000.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: South Park is a 12.4 acre park and one of six neighborhood parks
in the City of Lake Forest. It is located in the southeast portion of the City. The park contains a
variety of recreation facilities including tennis courts, two ball fields, batting cage, turf field for
soccer, rugby and lacrosse that overlays the outfields, playground, picnic pavilion with
restrooms and a small storage area and gravel road with scattered undefined parking. The
park is bordered by residential to the north and east, a woodlot along the south and the
regional bike trail and railroad along the west edge. Accessible routes between amenities
were also limited.
In December 2016, City staff selected Hitchcock Design Group to develop a new master plan
for South Park. The master plan was needed to develop a comprehensive vision for the park
that will serve as a framework for future park use and improvements. The completed master
plan was approved by the City Council in 2017 and work was begun to strategize possible
funding sources for the much needed improvements. With the help of an Illinois Department
of Natural Resources OSLAD Grant, the City was able to implement many of the
improvements at South Park in 2020, but the park is in need of many more capital
improvements to be at the high standard level expected in our Lake Forest parks.
The next phase of improvements includes a new parking lot on the southern portion of the
park, connection to the regional bike trail, and all associated improvements. In order to
proceed with more improvements in the park, the City needs an engineering and landscape
architecture firm to provide all the required construction documents to issue a bid request for
the project. Design services include, but are not limited to the following: 1) surveying, data
gathering 2) development of preliminary and final engineering plans 3) sustainable design
and exploration of possible green infrastructure 4) development of an engineer’s opinion of
probable cost 5) coordination with appropriate permitting agencies. It is also important to
again note that this is not just a parking lot, it will include trails, ADA connection to the
11
Monday, May 3, 2021 City Council Agenda
McClory Bike Path, a turn-around area, landscaping features, and possibly a rain garden or
other green infrastructure for parking lot drainage. Funding for the design work includes funds
designated for sustainability components of this project as well.
If approved by City Council, the design work will begin early May, 2021 and be completed by
October 2021. The completed design work will then be available for FY2023 Capital
Improvement Program planning purposes. Staff will also work to identify any potential grant
opportunities for the improvements recommended as part of the design work.

11. Approval to Purchase an Intelligent One Field Marking Paint Robot for the Parks
Section from Turf Tank in the Amount of $43,500.
STAFF CONTACT: Chuck Myers, Superintendent of Parks and Forestry, 810-3565
PURPOSE AND ACTION REQUESTED: Parks & Recreation Board and staff are recommending
City Council approval to purchase an Intelligent One Field Marking Paint Robot for the Parks
Section in the amount of $43,500.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The City’s Parks Section manages numerous athletic fields for
baseball, soccer, lacrosse, and football. Our goal is to provide the best possible playing
surface for these sports programs. With the increasing demands for maintenance on the
athletic fields and for increased use by sports associations, this equipment will better equip
Parks staff to maintain the fields more efficiently and at a very high level.
The Intelligent One Field Marking Paint Robot can draw precise lines with a precise accuracy
every time, due to its advanced GPS system. It memorizes all locations and route planes from
the initial marking, making markings 100% accurate. It measures, maps the field and draws
the lines seven times faster than traditional line marking. In addition, the smart, low-pressure
paint pump/nozzle set-up reduces the paint consumption by 50%.
The auto painter provides considerable time savings and it only requires one person during
the day to paint all the athletic fields. Once the robot is set up for painting, it frees up Parks
staff to do other required field maintenance tasks.
PROJECT REVIEW/RECOMMENDATIONS:

Parks & Recreation Board 4/20/21 Recommend purchase
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: In 2010, City staff implemented a new funding mechanism called the
Sports Field Improvement Fund (SFIF), which is a sub fund of the Parks and Recreation Fund
(220). The fund is intended to assist the City and participating youth sport organizations in
maintaining quality sports fields in the community. It is a “fair share” sport field improvement
fee collected from all sport organizations or Recreation Department youth sport field
programs that use City fields. It is assessed as a per-player, per-season fee to help make sport
field improvements. There are currently sufficient funds in this Parks & Recreation restricted
fund for the purchase of this piece of equipment.
On February 3, 2021, City staff released an invitation to bid for a new an Intelligent One Field
Marking Paint Robot. The bid opening was on February 18, 2021 and three (3) sealed bids
