Tinley Park rejects all bids for Brookside Creek stormwater improvements
Summary
The village rejected all bids opened May 21 for the Brookside Creek stormwater improvements and directed public works to revisit the project procurement.
The Village of Tinley Park Board of Trustees voted on June 3 to reject all bids for the Brookside Creek stormwater improvements. Public Works staff reported the bid opening occurred on May 21; the board motioned to reject all bids after prior discussion at the Committee of the Whole.
Why it matters: rejecting bids restarts the procurement process and may delay planned stormwater improvements intended to address local drainage or flooding concerns.
Board action and context Trustee Sullivan moved to approve rejection of all bids for the Brookside Creek stormwater improvements; a second was recorded and the board approved the motion by roll call. The transcript records that Public Works requested rejection of all bids and that the bid opening took place on May 21, 2025. The motion carried on a roll-call vote with affirmative votes recorded in the meeting transcript for trustees listed.
Details and next steps The public record in the meeting transcript does not include the number of bids received, bid amounts, reasons for rejection, or the planned schedule for re-bidding the project. The board did not record further instructions in the public meeting about alternative procurement approaches or funding adjustments. Public Works will need to provide additional procurement details or return to the board with revised specifications or a new solicitation timeline.
