Council reviews award of street-construction contract to Rudy Construction; staff says street funds close to budget
Summary
The Village considered Resolution 12-9-24(H) to award a street-construction contract to Rudy Construction on the recommendation of Calvin Engineering; staff said about $1.7–$1.75 million remains in street funds and acknowledged the project may push the fund slightly over budget. (Vote/outcome not specified in the transcript.)
The Village Council considered a resolution to award a street-construction contract to Rudy Construction on the recommendation of Calvin Engineering, and staff said the city’s street fund balance is tight but sufficient to proceed.
Presiding Official introduced Resolution 12-9-24(H), described in the transcript as an award for street construction improvements tied to the 2022 and 2024 general-obligation bond series, naming Rudy Construction as the recommended contractor and citing Calvin Engineering's recommendation.
Staff Member told council the bid was among the lowest and that the city had about $1.7 to $1.75 million remaining in its street funds but acknowledged the project left the program "a little bit over." "So it's a little bit over on this," staff said, adding that bonds account for only a portion of the project funding and the city intended to "squeeze it in." Council members asked about sidewalks, drainage, road closures and the project schedule; staff said Rudy Construction expected to begin work in early January, weather permitting.
The transcript does not record a formal roll-call vote or the motion mover/second for the resolution in the provided excerpt, nor does it record a precise contract amount (the numeric amount announced in the audio is not clearly captured in the transcript). The council discussed phasing, closures and scheduling but no outcome is recorded in the excerpt.
