indicates cognitive and social development may be compromised; and

WHEREAS, the observance of Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Week is a great moment to inform
the community of the risks of lead poisoning; and

WHEREAS, Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Week presents an opportunity to rally in support of
the children of Cook County to help them grow and learn in an environment free from the harmful effects
of lead; and

WHEREAS, Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Week provides an opportunity to recognize the Cook
County Department of Public Health staff, nurses and environmental inspectors who provide services to
children with elevated blood lead levels and their families.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Cook County Board of Commissioners does
hereby recognize October 21, 2012 through October 27, 2012, as “Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention

Meade, Inc., McCook, Illinois, for construction of a fiber optic network that will connect Cook County’s
“Downtown Campus,” consisting of the Daley Center, County Building/City Hall and the Thompson

procurement vehicle for this request will be an existing State of Illinois contract with Meade, Inc.,
(Contract #CIC26028B).

AGENDA

DEPARTMENT OF OFFICE TECHNOLOGY continued

ITEM #24 cont’d

Reason: Cook County recently completed the engineering design for the first segment of the County
Broadband Technologies Partnership Network that will connect the Downtown Campus to
Stroger Hospital of Cook County, and is now prepared to begin the construction associated
with this segment of the network. Through a request for bid process, the State of Illinois
executed a contract with Meade, Inc. (Contract #CIC26028B) for construction of a fiber optic
network along Interstate 57 from Kankakee, Illinois to 95th Street in the City of Chicago.
Meade has a strong record of quality service with the City and County, and considerable
expertise with urban fiber construction. If this request is approved, this contract will shorten
the project life cycle, which is important since the construction needs to be completed prior to
any inclement weather that will occur later this year.

Estimated Fiscal Impact: $356,218.00. Contract period: November 1, 2012 through October 31, 2013.

and

System Solutions, Inc. (SSI), Northbrook, Illinois, for the purpose of acquiring high speed network
equipment, network hardware installation, and maintenance for: 1) Cook County’s Wide Area Network
(WAN) Refresh Project; and 2) Cook County’s Broadband Network Project. The procurement vehicle for
both portions of this request will be an existing City of Chicago contract with System Solutions, Inc.,
(Contract/PO #13797), which was executed through a request for proposal (RFP) that includes the same
equipment and hardware needed for Cook County’s projects.

AGENDA


ITEM #25 cont’d

Reason: 1. Wide Area Network Refresh Project: Cook County’s WAN is a complex network of
ten major nodes that connect the County’s major anchor locations across the County.
Major components of the WAN have reached or surpassed an industry standard based
“end of useful life.” Although the equipment continues to provide the required
connectivity, there is a need to replace and, in some instances, upgrade the WAN’s
components to the most current technology. The Bureau of Technology’s efforts to
develop the WAN Refresh Project included consultations with internal and external
networking professionals; research on the County’s current and future WAN needs;
and a review of state-of-the-art technologies associated with network upgrades of the
scale and scope in question. If approved, this contract will allow the Bureau of
Technology to purchase the necessary network equipment for the WAN Refresh
Project from SSI in the amount of $5,954,478.00, as well as utilize the company’s
professionals for its installation and support.

2. Broadband Network Project: Cook County is collaborating with the City of Chicago,
Chicago Transit Authority, State of Illinois-Illinois Century Network, and the South
Suburban Mayors and Managers Association to create the Cook County Broadband
Technologies Partnership Fiber Network that includes major County, City, and State
anchor institutions. If approved, this contract will enable the Bureau of Technology
to purchase the network equipment that is needed for the Broadband Network in the
amount of $1,277,043.00; equipment that will be compatible with Cook County’s
existing Wide Area Network and supported by Cook County staff skilled in this
technology.

Estimated Fiscal Impact: $7,231,521.00 [$5,954,478.00 - (715/016-570 Account); and $1,277,043.00 -

Reason: The Bureau of Technology has utilized Iron Mountain’s computer tape vaulting services for
several years. The company provides secure pick-up, delivery, and archival storage of the
tapes, and has met both the needs and expectations of Cook County. Although the Iron
Mountain contract expired over two years ago, the Bureau of Technology continued to use the
company’s tape storage service. If approved, this payment will apply to outstanding invoices
from prior to the expiration of the Iron Mountain contract through May 31, 2012. Additional

ITEM #30


JOHN COOKE, Director, Office of Capital Planning and Policy

I hereby transmit for your approval a request for the Office of Capital Planning and Policy, as authorized
by the Cook County Chief Procurement Officer, to participate in the City of Chicago (the “City) Job
Order Contract (JOC) program to complete the capital projects listed below (the “Projects”). JOC is a
quantity based procurement process that allows facility owners to complete a multitude of
repair/maintenance and construction projects with a single, competitively bid contract. The JOC process
generally involves first selecting a pool of potential contractors through a competitive procurement
process, and then identifying projects for such selected contractors.

AGENDA

OFFICE OF CAPITAL PLANNING AND POLICY continued

ITEM #30 cont’d

The City has already completed a JOC competitive procurement process, and it has created the pool of
general contractors to perform certain projects generally associated with maintenance, repairs, and routine
work. Participating in, or "piggy backing" on, the City's existing JOC contract would allow the County to
enjoy the myriad cost savings achieved through volume purchases.

The JOC program has an administrative component managed by the Gordian Group. The Gordian Group
maintains an area price book, which captures the prices for specific construction work items within this
region. JOC contractors bid against the prices included in the price book. The cost, therefore, of any work
performed by the contractor is a contractor markup from the price book. The Gordian Group would
receive a 5% administrative fee from Cook County based on the total project cost of the work.

I specifically request authorization for the Chief Procurement Officer, on behalf of the Office of Capital
Planning and Policy, to:

1. Enter into and execute an agreement with the Gordian Group on the same terms as, and actively
participate in, the City's JOC agreement for the coordination and administrative management of
the Job Order Contracting program;

2. Do all such acts and things and to execute all contracts necessary to complete the Projects using
vendors selected through the City's JOC program;

3. Change the Project Name and Scope of the former DOC - Electronic Perimeter Monitoring
project to the new DOC - Recreation Area and Court Yard Renovations project; and

4. The following projects would be included and assigned by the Gordian Group to participating
JOC contractors:

1. DOC - Recreation Area and Court Yard Renovations; and

2. Public Defender and Pre-Trial Services Interview Area.

Estimated Fiscal Impact: $2,147,000.00.

20000 County Physical Plant.

Corporation, San Diego, California, for implementation of an electronic poll book system.

AGENDA

OFFICE OF THE COUNTY CLERK continued
PROPOSED CONTRACT continued

ITEM #40 cont’d

Reason: A Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued for electronic poll book and software services (e-
pollbook) via the Cook County website. Votec Corporation offered the best value by meeting
the requirements and offering the best price. They have extensive experience with such
implementations. The e-pollbook is a software application residing on personal computing
hardware, built with data from the Cook County Election Division’s voter database. The
application will help ensure that, in all precincts, voters are uniformly processed by election
judges, and that voters who appear at the wrong precinct can be directed to the correct polling
location, thus preventing disenfranchisement. Other benefits include expediting of voter
intake on election day and access to accurate, up-to-date voter history and turnout data. In
addition, e-pollbooks enable us to electronically capture data from the polling place, including
data on affidavit and provisional voters, election judge timekeeping reports, statements of
ballots and survey information. Further, the e-pollbook provides a two-way instant
communication platform with our office to help the judges better administer the election. In
addition to these benefits cost savings will be realized in the following areas: printing,
election morning deliveries of updated lists of early/mail voters to each precinct, and
personnel costs associated with manually updating voter history post-election. The total
contract amount is funded in its entirety by Help America Vote Act (HAVA) and other grant
funds.

Estimated Fiscal Impact: None. Grant funded amount: $3,014,450.00 [$2,812,109.00 - (619-818
Account); and $202,341.00 - (642-818 Account)]. Contract period: December 1, 2012 through November
30, 2014.

TRANSFER OF FUNDS

ITEM #41


THOMAS J. DART, Sheriff of Cook County
by
ALEXIS A. HERRERA, Chief Financial Officer

requesting approval by the Board of Commissioners to transfer funds totaling $2,325,000.00 from and to
the accounts listed below, for additional food service funding

Reason: Due to an unexpected increase in the population at the Department of Corrections additional
funds are needed to provide food service to the inmates through the remainder of the year.

From Accounts:

211-120 Overtime Compensation $125,000.00
231-353 Books, Periodicals, Publications, Archives and Data Services 100,000.00
231-818 Reimbursement to a Designated Fund 200,000.00
236-298 Special or Cooperative Programs 1,000,000.00
239-120 Overtime Compensation 400,000.00
239-215 Scavenger Services 500,000.00
Total $2,325,000.00

To Accounts:

239-223 Food Services $2,325,000.00
Total $2,325,000.00

1. On what date did it become apparent that the receiving account would require an infusion of funds
in order to meet current obligations? What was the balance in the account on that date, and what
was the balance 30 days prior to that date?

August 25, 2012 is when it became apparent that the Food Services account would need an infusion
of funds because the balance was insufficient to meet our needs for the remainder of the year. The
account balance on that date was $0 and the balance 30 days prior was $259,468.00.

2. How was the account used for the source of transferred funds identified? List any other accounts
that were also considered (but not used) as the source of the transferred funds.

The accounts used as the sources of transferred funds were identified because of the unencumbered
balances in these accounts. No other accounts were considered for this transfer.

ITEM #41 cont’d

3. Identify any projects, purchases, programs, contracts, or other obligations that will be deferred,
delayed, or canceled as a result of the reduction in available spending authority that will result in
the account that funds are transferred from.

None.

4. If the answer to the above question is “none” then please explain why this account was originally
budgeted in a manner that caused an unobligated surplus to develop at this point in the fiscal year.

The unobligated surplus in 211-120 Overtime Compensation is due to a new policies put in place
that limits the need for overtime.

The unobligated surplus 231-153 Books, Periodicals, Publications, Archives and Data Services is
due to air cards being funded from the County budgeted Communications Account, which we were
unaware of while budgeting the FY 2012 funds.

The unobligated surplus is 231-818 Reimbursement to a Designated Fund is because funding was
initially budgeted to continue a partnership with the Chicago Police Department; Asset Forfeiture
funds were instead used for this partnership.

The unobligated surplus in 236-298 Special or Cooperative Programs is due to sufficient funds
from a purchase order from FY 2011.

The unobligated surplus in 239-120 Overtime Compensation is due to the creating of a centralized
medical call-in unit that has led to a decrease in overtime.

The unobligated surplus in 239-235 Scavenger Services is due to a change in operations and
monitoring of garbage, as well as an increase in types of materials recycled, these things have led to
a reduction in garbage pickup at the Department of Corrections.
