At-a-glance: Lake Bluff board approves warrants and two building contracts, minutes and correspondence accepted
Summary
On March 10 the Village Board approved minutes, approved payment warrants totaling $449,311.89, accepted correspondence, and adopted two resolutions awarding contracts to replace a low-slope roof at the Public Safety Building and trench drain replacement at the Public Works Building.
The Lake Bluff Village Board of Trustees took several formal actions on March 10, approving meeting minutes, the warrants report, accepting correspondence, and awarding two public-works contracts.
Minutes Trustees approved the minutes of the Feb. 24 regular meeting by voice vote.
Warrants The board approved the warrants report covering invoices for Feb. 25–March 10, 2025, totaling $449,311.89. The vote was a roll-call with all trustees present recorded as voting “Aye.”
Acceptance of Correspondence The board accepted its correspondence packet as delivered to trustees in the informational report for February 2025 by voice vote.
Public Safety Building — Low-slope roof replacement (Resolution) The board awarded a contract for low-slope roof replacement at the Public Safety Building to L. Marshall Roofing and Sheet Metal Inc., which submitted the low base bid of $189,000 plus unit costs. Village consultants estimated likely unit costs under $10,000 and estimated an anticipated total of $199,000, which the village reported is below the $255,000 amount budgeted in fiscal year 2026. The resolution passed on a roll-call vote with all trustees recorded as “Aye.”
Public Works Building — Trench drain replacement (Resolution) The board awarded a contract for trench drain replacement at the Public Works vehicle-storage building to Stuckey Construction, the low bidder with a base bid of $72,000. Village consultants recommended budgeting up to 15% for potential unit costs, bringing the anticipated total to approximately $82,000. Because the FY2026 budget had $30,000 for this work, staff said a budget amendment will be required and that the funding would come from existing revenue sources. The resolution passed on a roll-call vote with all trustees recorded as “Aye.”
