PLANNING OVERVIEW:
Village staff is seeking Board approval to hire McGuire Igleski and Associates (MIA), the Village of Orland Park’s historic preservation consultants, to survey the Old Orland Historic District and some adjacent buildings and for permission to proceed and commence the survey this Fall 2007.
DISCUSSION:
A grant for $6,634.68 was awarded to the Village by the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency to do the Old Orland Historic Building Survey. The Village made available a local match for $2,843.44. The total funds available for the project are $9,478.12.
McGuire Igleski and Associates have proposed to the Village to complete the Historic Building Survey under budget at a fixed fee of $7,900.00 for the Survey and Completion Report.
Per Finance Department, it should be noted that because the total cost of this project is below $10,000, an RFP or bid process was not required.
Project History
The project was originally slated to begin in the Fall of 2006. Due to staff changes and other priorities, it was delayed and subsequently extended.
In August, the IHPA re-signed the grant agreement between the IHPA and the Village of Orland Park and thus secured the grant funds for Orland Park until September of 2008.
In late August and September, staff notified the Village historic preservation consultants, McGuire Igleski and Associates, of the re-signed grant agreement. MIA submitted their new proposal in September and staff reviewed and selected the proposal accordingly.
MIA had originally submitted a proposal for this project in November of 2005, bidding $6,900.00 for the project. Since the 2005 proposal, costs have risen and MIA is now asking $7,900.00 for the project.
Throughout this time, the Village’s Historic Preservation Review Commission has reviewed staff work and contributed to the writing of the Scope of Work and timelines. It has also been, from time to time, updated regarding the status of the Survey.
The Scope of Work is attached to this Committee report for reference as is the proposal from McGuire Igleski and Associates.
On October 22, 2007 the Development Services and Planning Committee moved 3-0 to recommend to the Village Board to approve McGuire Igleski & Associates Inc. as the Village of Orland Park’s historic preservation consultants to conduct and complete a Historic Building Survey for the Old Orland Historic District and adjacent buildings.
And
Moved to recommend to the Village Board to permit Village staff and McGuire Igleski & Associates Inc. to commence the Old Orland Historic Building Survey.
This is now before the Village Board for consideration.
