Board approves $260,907 contractor payment to Wolf Paving and vouchers totaling $912,318

The Village Board on July 14 approved payment number two to Wolf Paving Company in the amount of $260,907 for the 2025 paving program and then approved vouchers totaling $912,318.29, which include the paving payment. Public‑works staff reported that crews and engineers inspected completed work and that subcontracting and utility work led to some charge‑backs to contractors for corrective operations. The board asked whether staff and engineers had verified the paving and concrete work; staff said inspections are performed after each pulverizing operation and again after final paving, and that staff or the contracted inspector is on site during paving. Why this matters: The payments keep the village’s paving program on schedule and reflect routine contract administration, inspections and occasional contractor charge‑backs when utility work required additional municipal labor. Details from the meeting Public‑works staff told the board Wolf Paving had worked in several subdivisions and had been “in constant communication” with staff. The board member who inspected West Capitol Drive praised curb and paving work there. Staff said a prior utility and paving overlap required hourly charge‑backs for village equipment to correct sanitation lines and that the village used DOT equipment rates to calculate those offsets. Board actions A motion to approve payment number two to Wolf Paving, $260,907, passed on a voice vote. The board then approved voucher payments totaling $912,318.29; trustees discussed inspections and confirmed staff oversight of paving and concrete subcontracts.
