Committee Reports:

Public Works and Utilities- Trustee Boyce

• Resolution 20-15 - A Resolution for the Maintenance under the Illinois Highway Code. Each year the Village must approve annual pricing quotes for road maintenance items that can be paid from the Motor Fuel Tax fund. This set that pricing for the year.

• Consideration RE: A motion to award the bid for the 2021 MFT Street Maintenance Program to Gallagher Asphalt Corp, Thornton, IL for a cost of $424,451.50. Every year the Village determines which roads need repair and based on the budgeted amount available in the Motor Fuel Tax fund, decide how many road projects can be repaired. Jim Hanley and village engineer Geoff Aggen compile a list of the roads in need of repairs and rate them based on their overall condition. That list is reviewed by the Board and a decision is made to determine which roads will be repaired. We received two bids and Gallagher was the lowest bidder. Geoff Aggen gave the four locations this year- South Creek Drive from Division to Cook; South Creek from Meadow Path to Brian Drive; Section Line Road from Maple to Walnut; and the Birch Court loop from CH9 to back to CH9

• Consideration RE: A motion to award the bid for the Downtown Sidewalk Project to Davis Concrete Construction Co., Monee, IL, for a cost of $27,462.00. Jim Hanley explained that after receiving several complaints about the condition of downtown sidewalks in several areas, he compiled a list of areas that needed replacement. Some have a poor surface condition and some have cracks or shifting, which creates a fall hazard. The Village received six bids and Davis Concrete was the lowest qualified bidder.

Next Public Works meeting tomorrow morning on April 27, 2021 at 7:00 am Village Board Room Parks and Recreation- Trustee Martin

• Consideration RE: A motion to award the bid for the Pickle Ball Court at Thies Park to KVCC, Kankakee, IL for a cost of $58,128.00. As discussed at numerous committee meetings, the existing tennis/basketball court at Theis Park was determined to be beyond repair. With the growing popularity of Pickle Ball, and since we have tennis and basketball courts at other park locations, the Board decided to replace the existing courts with a new four-court Pickle Ball Facility.
