Summary
The court authorized a contract with Artcom Communications for up to $78,030.67 to bore under East Blanco Road and install a high-speed connection to the courthouse; staff must finalize easements and routing.
Kendall County approved a contract with Artcom Communications on June 24 to bore under East Blanco Road and install a high-speed connection cable linking 400 East Blanco to the county courthouse. The approved authorization was 'up to' $78,030.67, and commissioners emphasized the need to finalize easements and routing before work begins.
Commissioner Carpenter moved the contract approval and clarified the amount and requested language referencing an "up to" cap. Commissioners and staff noted there remain outstanding logistics: the bore route crosses multiple properties and will require property easements and coordination with Road & Bridge and legal counsel before drilling.
Ending: Court approved the contract subject to staff securing easements and confirming the final drill path; the county will coordinate with Artcom to finalize scope and schedule.
