Minutes submitted by: Jennifer Djordjevic, Director of Operations & Date Outreach/ Office of the Mayor and Board NB 1 COMMITTEE AGENDA ITEM VILLAGE OF HOFFMAN ESTATES SUBJECT: Request authorization to award a contract for new lighting controls at the NOW Arena to Payne-Sparkman of New Albany, IN in an amount not to exceed $87,907 MEETING DATE: April 26, 2021 COMMITTEE: Finance FROM: Mark Koplin, Owner's Representative-NOW Arena Paul Petrenko, Superintendent of Facilities & Arena Maintenance Ben Gibbs, General Manager-NOW Arena REQUEST: Request authorization to award a contract for new lighting controls at the NOW Arena to Payne-Sparkman ofNew Albany, IN, in an amount not to exceed $87,907. BACKGROUND: The NOW Arena opened in 2006. The lighting control system was based on older technology when initially installed. As an example, the controls are operated with a desktop PC that runs on a Windows XP operating system. To provide backup capacity, the Arena searched and eventually acquired two backup PCs with the Windows XP operating system. To date, the lighting system has operated with minimal issues, but the Arena is now utilizing the last back-up PC. Foreseeing that the lighting controls were at the "end of useful life", the 2021 CIP included $105,000 from the Village's Capital Improvement Fund for replacement. DISCUSSION: Using Spectra's resources at other venues, Arena staff created specifications and issued a Request For Proposal (RFP) in compliance with the Arena's purchasing policy. We received three proposals (Payne-Sparkman, Knight Sounds & Lighting, and Juganu) which staff evaluated. One company's proposal did not meet the requirements as they proposed to replace the controls, plus all the fixtures, at a much higher total cost. Of the other two, Payne-Sparkman's proposal ($87,907) is significantly less than Knight's proposal ($110,500). Finance Committee - 2 - April 26, 2021 DISCUSSION: (Cont'd) Payne-Sparkman's proposal meets the specifications listed in the RFP. In addition to providing the BACnet controls as specified in the RFP, Payne-Sparkman's LiteTALK system will allow us to communicate wirelessly via an android or IOS app. The two controls systems operate concurrently, which is an addition that we have not had in the past, creating redundancy and avoiding a single point of failure. The system will run on low-voltage power, making a seamless transition to the existing network of lights. The system will give us the ability to control parking lots, concourses, and sport lights simultaneously from one interface. Their reference checks came back strong and their controls have been installed in other Spectra buildings, including Addition Financial Arena (Orlando, FL), Budweiser Events Center (Loveland, CO), and Virginia State University (Petersburg, VA). BUDGET IMP ACT: The 2021 CIP included $105,000 from the Village's Capital Fund for this project. Payne-Sparkman's proposal is $17,000 less than the budgeted amount. This savings would offset the cost of the HVAC system upgrade (as recommended in a separate Finance Committee item) and the amount from the General Fund Reserve. RECOMMENDATION: Request authorization to award a contract for new lighting controls at the NOW Arena to Payne-Sparkman of New Albany, IN in an amount not to exceed $87,907.00.

Payne Sparkman's original proposal contained addltlonal equipment not relerenced In the original RFP. To ensure we had accurate bids lrom both companies we asked Payne Sparkman lo take the extra equipment out and Knight Sound and Lighting lo add. This provided us with an apples to apples comparison ot both companies. NB2 COMMITTEE AGENDA ITEM VILLAGE OF HOFFMAN ESTATES SUBJECT: Request authorization to award a contract to upgrade the NOW Arena ventilation system to Advantage Mechanical, McHenry, IL (low bid), in an amount not to exceed $90,943 MEETING DATE: April 26, 2021 COMMITTEE: Finance Committee FROM: Mark Koplin, Owner's Representative-NOW Arena Ben Gibbs, NOW Arena General Manager Paul Petrenko, Superintendent of Facilities & Arena Maintenance REQUEST: Request authorization to award contract for NOW Arena ventilation upgrade to Advantage Mechanical, McHenry, IL (low bid), in an amount not to exceed 90,943. BACKGROUND: At the Finance Committee last October, staff presented a request for authorization to engage a mechanical design firm to review and recommend improvements to the HVAC system at the NOW Arena, and then issue a bid request for the purchase and installation such equipment. The Committee directed staff to proceed with design of a more effective and safe exhaust system to accomplish two goals.
