Summary
Trustees approved accounts payable totaling $4,733,632.79, awarded a $120,780 not-to-exceed renovation contract for Centennial Park Field No.1, and authorized an insurance renewal package that staff said realized a savings of 337,483 while increasing cyber coverage.
The Orland Park board approved several financial and contracting measures in one session. Trustees voted to approve accounts payable for Nov. 4–17, 2025 totaling $4,733,632.79, and they approved routine consent-agenda items by roll call.
For parks capital work, the board authorized a contract award for the renovation of Centennial Park Soccer Field No.1 to Summer Landscape LLC at the second-lowest responsive bid: $109,800 plus a contingency of $10,980 for a not-to-exceed total of $120,780. Trustee Jesse Leifblatt moved the contract award and the board approved it by roll call.
On insurance, Marsh McLennan Agency’s Bobby Duffkis presented the property/casualty and workers’ compensation renewal. He reported that the expiring premium “was $1,000,447 and $8.91” and that the renewal with current carriers was “$1,667,005.70.” He said the village’s best market option was Obsidian, yielding a reported savings of “337,483,” and that some of the savings would be reinvested to increase cyber liability from $1,000,000 to $5,000,000. Trustees asked about the village’s experience rating and market constraints for Cook County; the vendor said rates are affected by local jury verdict severity and by carriers narrowing offerings for Cook County municipalities. The board approved the liability and workers’ compensation package and authorized the village manager to execute related contracts subject to attorney review.
Staff and trustees thanked the vendor and recognized the package’s cost-management results. Trustees asked staff to continue quarterly claims reviews and ensure that loss-control measures remain a priority.
