NEW BUSINESS / ACTION ITEM:
REVIEW AND RECOMMEND APPROVAL
TO CITY COUNCIL AWARD OF
CONTRACT FOR PUBLIC WORKS / PARKS
/ FORESTRY WORK ORDER SYSTEM
WORK ORDERS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM -BACKGROUND
•In January 2020, a Work Orders system RFP was issued to support Public Works, Parks
& Forestry, OCM and IT. Four proposals were received.
•In March 2020, staff shifted priorities to implement a Citizen Request Management
system to address a more immediate need to provide a platform for residents to
quickly and efficiently submit a service request.
•In July 2020, City Council approved SeeClickFix as our Citizen Request Management
system.
•SeeClickFix is provided by Cartegraph -one of the four proposals from the Work
Orders RFP.
•SeeClickFix was implemented in tandem with the City’s new Website and Mobile
App in early 2021.
•After 15 months of being live, the system has logged 2800 services requests
ranging from special garbage collections to fallen tree limbs.
•In October 2021, due to the high adoption rate by our internal staff, additional
user licensing for SeeClickFix was requested and approved by City Council.
•In early 2022, staff explored the next phase of progressing the City towards a full Work
Orders Management system.
WORK ORDERS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM –PROCESS & BIDS
•The project team recommends proceeding with Cartegraph Operations Management
Software.
•Cartegraph scored the highest during proposal evaluation and scoring.
•Beehive was also in consideration, however scored lower in areas such as
User Acceptance Testing, Project Methodology, and Training.
•There is an existing relationship with Cartegraph (by way of SeeClickFix) providing
familiarity with services and implementation.
•SeeClickFix remains the front-end resident facing interaction and integrates directly
into Cartegraph for internal processing.
•While SeeClickFix provides basic tracking and service request management, Cartegraph
OMS provides the following:
•A more intuitive interface for working in the field
•Interactive dashboards for reporting and viewing data
•A way for the City to track assets and forecast for the future through data driven
decision making including integration with ArcGIS for asset mapping
•Workflow automation and reduction of manual duplicative processes (scheduling,
time entry, data entry, etc.)
WORK ORDERS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM -SOFTWARE
Cartegraph Operations Management Software (OMS)
WORK ORDERS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM -MODULES
WORK ORDERS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM -TIMELINE
WORK ORDERS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM -BUDGET
•Action requested: PW Committee recommends City Council award contract with Cartegraph
Systems LLC to Purchase Software and Services for a Work Orders Management system as
Budgeted in FY23 Capital Plan in the Amount of $99,800 to include a 5% Contingency in the
Amount of $4,990 for a Total Cost of $104,790. Additionally, Approve Three Year Agreement for
Annual Subscription Services included in the FY2024 –FY2027 Operating Budget for the Sum of
$143,264.

Building a Career: Borzick Re ects on 35 Years with the City
of Lake Forest
By David A. F. Sweet
As one enters Building Maintenance Supervisor Bill Borzick’s office, it’s hard not to notice a sign that says
Complaint Dept., with an arrow and a number describing the department as being thousands of miles away.
Truth is, there’s been little to complain about during Borzick’s lengthy tenure with the City of Lake Forest. And his
35-year run will end May 20, when he will retire the same day as his wife Kim does from Abbott Labs.
Building Maintenance Supervisor Bill Borzick is retiring on May 20 after 35 years working with the City of Lake
Forest.

“The best thing has been the relationships with people, from those I work with on staff to the Director of Gorton
to the City Manager,” said Borzick, wearing a green City of Lake Forest shirt while sitting near his desk. “I’m proud
that a lot of our people have gone on to do great work in other departments, such as Streets & Sanitation and the
Water Treatment Plant. It shows that we have a good program here.”
Actually, Borzick’s association with the City goes back even further than 35 years. His father, Bill, served as the
Lake Forest Cemetery sexton. As a teenager, Borzick helped out during funerals.
In 1987, Borzick earned a full-time role in the Parks & Recreation Department. Rather than engage in his new tasks
slowly, he was involved immediately.
“My first month here, I was working seven days a week, trying to get the new beach finished before it opened,”
said Borzick, who constructed a new sandbox, helped build the playground and installed flower beds before
200,000 visitors appeared to enjoy the $8.5 million project.
When the Building Maintenance Department was launched in 1996, Borzick was the first person Dan Martin – now
the Superintendent of Public Works -- hired. At that point, there were only six buildings to maintain: City Hall,
Municipal Services off of Laurel Avenue, the two train stations along with the fire and police buildings.
“One of the enjoyable things is we built the department from the ground up,” said Borzick, adding that the
department is responsible for nearly three dozen buildings today, the latest being Elawa Farm.
Borzick and his team of six full-time staffers and a handful of seasonal workers and contractors have an array of
responsibilities at the sites; they are involved in electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilation and more.
“We do it all,” Borzick said.
The team – which tries to treat all buildings equally – faces challenges, especially with historical buildings.
“They bring in a new level of maintenance – restoration rather than replacement,” Borzick said. “Sometimes the
parts don’t even exist anymore. Sometimes we have to build them ourselves.
“The last couple of years during the pandemic have been stressful. When ordering new windows for Elawa, we
were told it could take up to 40 weeks.”
One might think a building maintenance worker would be involved solely with tasks ranging from electrical wiring
to furnace replacements. But Borzick has also saved lives.
One time, a large-beaked great blue heron was stuck between the roof and fireplace of the north Forest Park
Beach building. Needing to act quickly, Borzick put a sweater on him, picked him up and drove him to the Ponds

near Route 41 to free him. Another time, while Borzick and his crew were taking out the piers in Lake Michigan, he
saw a deer was stuck in the water.
“I put waders on, grabbed him and put a blanket on him,” Borzick recalled. “He couldn’t even move – he was
completely exhausted.” The deer survived.
During retirement, Borzick will play more disc golf with his son Jon, who hopes to turn professional (they have
already played 200 courses together).
“It’s a good way to walk,” Borzick said. “I’m not a fan of the gym. I’d rather be doing something.”
As he reflected on his career that began so long ago that Lake Forest residents didn’t even have cable TV, Borzick
talked about the key to his longevity.
“If I wasn’t happy,” he said, “I wouldn’t have stayed for 35 years.”
