Summary
The council accepted the low bid from Kankakee Valley Construction Company to repair drainage and flooding on Woodley Road, authorizing a $48,091.68 contract; one council member abstained due to a potential conflict of interest.
The Kankakee City Council authorized acceptance of a bid from Kankakee Valley Construction Company for Woodley Road drainage and improvement work and approved a contract in the amount of $48,091.68.
City staff said the work addresses localized flooding where stormwater does not dissipate; the city engineer prepared plans and the project went to bid. Three bidders responded; the low bid, at $48,091.68, was recommended for award. The council approved the award by roll call; the vote recorded one abstention for potential conflict of interest and the remainder in favor.
Alderman Osinga moved to accept the low bid; Alderman Talley seconded. The council noted that the project is similar to other localized stormwater corrections previously completed and said the city will proceed to contracting and scheduling with the successful bidder.
The meeting record does not include an exact construction schedule; council members said work will proceed once procurement and scheduling formalities are complete.
