Montgomery trustees approve meter purchase, well work and seal-coating; consent agenda passes
Summary
At its May 1 meeting, the Village of Montgomery Board of Trustees approved a purchase of water meters, three construction contracts and a final payment for a well rehabilitation, and passed consent-agenda items including an accounts-payable report totaling $1,163,849.34.
The Village of Montgomery Board of Trustees on May 1 approved a set of infrastructure purchases and contracts intended to support water-system work and routine public-works maintenance.
The board voted unanimously to approve a planned purchase of meters and MXUs for $84,118 to support the village's non-revenue-water reduction program. Director Wolf told the trustees the purchase “sets the stage for our next fiscal year” and that staff will return later with a request for contracted services to continue the replacement program. The board recorded a 6-0 roll call in favor; Trustee Geier moved and Trustee Youngerman seconded the motion.
Trustees also approved three separate contracts and a final payment related to wells and pavement maintenance: - Award to Water Well Solutions Illinois LLC for the Well No. 13 rehabilitation, $56,363. Engineer (identified in the meeting as the village engineer) said proposals were solicited from two firms and recommended Water Well Solutions; the board approved the award 6-0 (moved by Brzoska; second by Youngerman). - Award to Denler Inc. for the 2025 seal-coating program, $27,631.14. The engineer said the work covers shared-use paths in Balmorhea, the path behind the Oswego Library, the Fox Moore-to-Stewart Sports Complex connector and a parking lot behind Village Hall; the board approved the award 6-0 (moved by Marisak; second by Brzoska). - Change order No. 1 and final payment to Lane Christensen Company for the Well No. 8 rehabilitation, $282,467.53. The engineer said the original contract was $338,475 and final quantities produced a $56,007.47 savings from the awarded amount; the final payment was approved 6-0 (mover/second not specified in the record).
The board also approved the consent agenda by a 6-0 roll call. Items listed by the clerk included the minutes of the April 14, 2025 meeting; an accounts-payable summary through the meeting date in the amount of $1,163,849.34; the March 2025 refuse report; Ordinance 2021 (amended special use permit and variances regarding Pet Place dog runs); Resolution 2025-011 accepting a water-main easement for the proposed Popeye’s in Lot 2 of the Ogden Plaza subdivision; and a memorandum of understanding between the village and Kendall County (all items on the consent agenda passed 6-0; the consent motion was moved by Marisak and seconded by Brzoska).
Trustees asked routine questions about past vendor experience and budget line-item savings on several items. For the Well No. 13 rehab, the engineer said the well was last rehabbed in 2014. On seal coating, the engineer said Denler completed the same program two years earlier. Director Wolf and the engineer indicated further related purchasing or contracting requests will return to the board later this fiscal year to continue meter replacements and to complete commercial meter work.
The meeting concluded with no executive session; trustees adjourned after routine announcements.
