Explanation: A request for proposals was published, and the proposal provided by USI Insurance was determined to be the most advantageous to the City and in the City’s best interest. USI Insurance is the current broker for the City’s liability, property and workers’ compensation insurance. They have submitted an agreement to provide coverage from December 31, 2016, through December 31, 2017. At $773,842, the proposal is $67,337 less than the amount budgeted for 2017. Of note, the 2017 premium is $30,628 less than what was paid in 2016. The City received a second proposal in response to the RFP, in the amount of $781,646.

Explanation: The current Quad City Enterprise Zone, established in 1988, and as amended, expires on March 28, 2018. Bi-State Regional Commission is assisting the Enterprise Zone’s member communities, comprised of the Cities of Moline, East Moline, Rock Island and Silvis, the Village of Milan and the County of Rock Island, Illinois (“Jurisdictions”), in applying for a new Enterprise Zone. That process requires approval of 1) an ordinance to affirm the establishment of an Enterprise Zone, and 2) a resolution for an Intergovernmental Agreement to allow the Jurisdictions to submit a joint application to the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (“DCEO”) for establishment of a new Enterprise Zone. In 2014, the Jurisdictions entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement to allow them to submit a joint application to DCEO for establishment of a new Quad City Enterprise Zone, however, the application was not granted. The Jurisdictions still seek to create a new Enterprise Zone and therefore wish to enter into the attached Intergovernmental Agreement to allow them to submit a joint application to DCEO for establishment of a new Quad City Enterprise Zone, as legally described in the Agreement’s exhibit, commencing January 1, 2018. Additional documentation attached. Fiscal Impact: N/A Public Notice/Recording: N/A 7.

Council Bill/Resolution 1170-2016 A Resolution authorizing the IT Manager to purchase three Tegile ESH-25 Expansion Shelves from CDW-G. Explanation: The City’s Storage Area Network (SAN) resources are nearing capacity. The most cost effective method of adding capacity is to add hybrid expansion shelves to the Tegile SAN that was purchased in 2016. Staff budgeted $42,000.00 in 2017 for this purchase and CDW-G is the preferred reseller for Tegile products. Staff recommends purchase of three Tegile ESH-25 Expansion shelves, along with the required professional installation and annual maintenance and support, for a total cost of $40,750.00. Additional documentation is attached. Fiscal Impact: $40,750.00 from 443-0425-417.07-02 Public Notice/Recording: N/A 9. Council Bill/Resolution 1171-2016 A Resolution authorizing the Information Technology Manager to pay Guy M. Cahill & Associates, Inc. for fiber optics consulting services. Explanation: Beginning in January, 2015, City and Moline School District staff met regularly in an attempt to jointly procure dark fiber network and internet service provision (ISP) services for both entities. It was eventually determined that a joint venture would not work due to funding and organizational complexities and the District hired Guy Cahill as a consultant due to his expertise in school district finances, fiber optics technology, and Indefeasible Right of Use (IRU) agreements. The District’s result was a long-term agreement for both services with significant savings.

    Multi-Jurisdictional Risk Assessment As described in the previous section on Profiling Hazards, each of the participating jurisdictions evaluated the hazards identified for the planning area. Each jurisdiction was asked to score the hazards profiled based on the methodology in Attachment III-1 for the following categories: --Historical Occurrence --Probability --Vulnerability --Maximum Geographic Extent --Severity of Impacts --Speed of Onset Each jurisdiction was asked to score the hazards based on their own local perspective and to note any additional information for the profile specific to its jurisdiction. The individual community scores were combined and averaged to provide the basis for determining the ranking and priority of the identified hazards for the whole planning area. The following individual jurisdiction risk assessments provide comparable data regarding population and land area. A geographic summary notes specific features that distinguish the jurisdiction from the planning area as a whole. The hazard priority provides a list of the top ranking hazards based on the hazard profile scoring and adjusted as needed based on local experience. This section also explains any differences in hazard ranking compared to the planning area. Finally, the Critical Facilities section summarizes structures identified as important to the jurisdiction that may be vulnerable to hazard impacts. The specific lists of Critical facilities were mapped in relation to the 100-year floodplain as presented in Map_(insert map reference as appropriate_____ Andalusia --2000 Census population 1,050 -- 0.7% total County population --Ranks 11 of 16 jurisdictions in size --Land area 1.17 sq. miles --0.2% total planning area --Rank 12 out of 16 jurisdictions Geography: Andalusia is located in the lower southwest portion of Rock Island County on the Mississippi River below the confluence of the Rock River.

  • Rapid Damage Assessment of Infrastructure Components in the Central United States
    Rapid Damage Assessment of Infrastructure Components in the Central United States Report No. 09-02 Fikri Acar Post-Graduate Research Associate Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign August 2009 ABSTRACT A number of destructive earthquakes have occurred in the central United States on the New Madrid Fault at the beginning of the 19th century. In the eight central U.S. states included in this investigation, rivers intersect major land routes of importance to commodity flow. The Mississippi River, for example, divides the US into two parts, namely the Eastern and Pacific parts. There are many different long-span bridges crossing these rivers. Moreover, most of the major dams were built on these rivers, and at least thousands of storage tanks are located in cities and towns in the central U.S. If earthquakes occurred in the New Madrid seismic area as large as the historic 19th Century series, some of these major structures would likely suffer at least slight-to-moderate damage. Bridge damage would interrupt the transportation network, and floods caused by dams failures would result in further destruction to regions already devastated by earthquake shaking. As part of the ongoing impact assessment project funded by FEMA, this study deals with the rapid damage assessment of these major river crossings (MRCs) and dams, as well as levees and storage tanks that frequently hold hazardous materials. As a result of a broad classification, six types of MRCs, two types of dams and several types of steel storage tanks have been identified. The majority of the bridges fall into the ‘multispan simply supported and continuous steel truss bridges’, while most dams are classified as ‘earth and concrete gravity dams’.
