Title
Authorization to Sign the Oxcart Permit System User Agreement
History
Staff recommends that the Village utilize the Oxcart Permit Systems to administer all overweight and oversized permits as outlined in the corresponding ordinance being considered, which would amend Title 9 (Traffic) by adding a new Chapter 13 (fines and permits for overweight/dimension vehicles) to the Orland Park Village Code through a web-based solution. Oxcart is a widely used overweight and oversized vehicle permitting solution utilized by both the private and public sector. Oxcart is 100% free for local government use as all fees are paid by those end users requesting permits.
A custom website is created by Oxcart using the preferences and fee structures provided by the Village’s adopted ordinance. The applicant simply creates an account, selects the dimensions of the vehicle, and the route requested as defined by ordinance. All permit reviews are then completed through an online dashboard by a designated Orland Park Police employee. Once approved, Oxcart collects and distributes all permit fees to the Village.
Financial Impact
None as the services are without cost to the Village.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the use of the Oxcart Permit Systems
And
To authorize the Village Manager to execute the agreement with Oxcart Permitting Systems for the permitting consolidation, subject to Village attorney review.
