Summary
The Village of Montgomery awarded a $3,027,808 contract to Builders Paving for the 2025 MFT and infrastructure road program, adopted a resolution to use $2 million in motor fuel tax funds, and approved a construction engineering agreement; all votes carried 5‑0.
Montgomery — The village board approved a slate of infrastructure items tied to the 2025 road program, including a low bid award, a motor‑fuel‑tax resolution and a construction observation agreement.
Award and funding: Staff reported receiving three bids for the village’s 2025 MFT and infrastructure road program. The low bid of $3,027,808 from Builders Paving was below the engineer’s estimate. The board awarded the contract to Builders Paving by vote (5–0).
The board also adopted Resolution 2025‑008 authorizing up to $2,000,000 in Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) funds for the 2025 program. Director of Public Works and village staff explained that the village alternates MFT and non‑MFT years and that the resolution is required to authorize use of MFT funding for the project; trustees approved the resolution 5–0.
Engineering services: The board approved a professional services agreement with Engineering Enterprises for construction engineering and observation of the 2025 road program; that action was approved 5–0.
Scope and schedule: Public works staff described the 2025 program as including resurfacing, mill‑and‑overlay and targeted reconstruction in multiple neighborhoods. The 2025 program was presented alongside a draft five‑year pavement management plan; staff said the overall five‑year program proposes resurfacing roughly 21.4 miles and budgets about $2.65 million annually across years, including grant‑funded federal projects.
Trustees thanked staff for competitive pricing and noted the village will coordinate road work with planned underground utility projects, with details to be finalized in construction documents.
Ending: The contracts and funding authorizations will allow the village to proceed with notices to proceed and preconstruction coordination with Builders Paving and the selected engineering firm. Construction scheduling and notices to affected residents will follow as staff finalizes the schedule and mobilization plans.
