Oak Lawn board waives bidding for crossing-guard services and approves sewer rehabilitation bids and two disbursement resolutions
Summary
Trustees approved a waiver of competitive bidding for crossing-guard services, accepted two sanitary sewer rehabilitation bids totaling $1,445,610, and approved two disbursement resolutions covering multi‑million-dollar amounts.
The Village of Oak Lawn on Aug. 26 approved several municipal contracts and financial disbursements: the board waived competitive bidding and amended the service agreement with Andy Frane Services Inc. for crossing guards and special-event personnel for the 2025–26 school year; it also approved two sanitary sewer rehabilitation contract bids and two disbursement resolutions.
Why this matters: The crossing-guard contract affects school-year safety operations; the sewer contracts are municipal capital work with a combined value above $1.4 million. The disbursement resolutions authorize large village payments that appear in the board’s financial records.
Contract and bid details recorded in the meeting minutes: a resolution waiving competitive bidding and approving an amendment to the service agreement with Andy Frane Services Incorporated for crossing guards and special-event personnel for the 2025–26 school year; a resolution approving a bid from Horace Construction Incorporated for 2024–25 sanitary sewer rehabilitation contract number 12025 in the amount of $1,128,100; and a resolution approving a bid from National Power Bridal Corporation for the Community Development Block Grant 2024 sanitary sewer rehabilitation contract 2‑2025 in the amount of $317,510. Together the two sewer bid approvals total $1,445,610.
Financial approvals: The board approved Disbursement Resolution 2025‑13D dated Aug. 12, 2025, for $5,689,918.04 and Disbursement Resolution 2025‑13D1 dated Aug. 26, 2025, for $6,289,134.36. Both were approved by roll call.
Process and votes: These items were carried as part of the consent agenda. The consent motion was moved and seconded and passed on a unanimous roll call (Trustees Stalker, Sock, Pembroke, Olynychak and Malo voting yes).
Caveats and verification: The meeting transcript uses the name “National Power Bridal Corporation” for one bidder and lists Horace Construction Incorporated for the other; those names are transcribed from the meeting materials. Reporters should verify exact corporate legal names and contract numbers in the village’s awarded-bid documents before publication.
Ending: The contracting and disbursement approvals will allow the village to proceed with sewer rehabilitation work and crossing-guard services for the upcoming school year; the board recorded motions and roll-call approvals on Aug. 26.
