4/16 Public Works Meeting

I attended the Public Works meeting and here's what I saw.  Selection of Contractor.  JK Meurer, while new to the Village, has credibility among other neighboring municipalities.  It passes the "lowest best" criteria, and I'm supportive of awarding them the contract.

Minutes and Report to follow.

REPORT

The Public Works Committee met on 4/16 to discuss 2013 Street Repair Bids.  The Committee recommends we accept the bid of J.K. Meurer Corporation in the amount of $124,600.  This will deliver a savings to the Village of $25,400 versus original estimate, eliminating the need to withdraw $15,449 from the Permanent Improvement Budget as originally approved by Council.  Net result is a +$9,900 higher Road Fund balance that can be spent on additional sidewalk or street work in 2013.

The Committee would also like to thank Chris Ertel for his great work on this project and for his continued outstanding service & professionalism.

Respectfully Submitted,

Cortney Scheeser
