Village trustees approve $185,477 landscaping contract, pump‑station piping work and $4.16M disbursements
Summary
At a regular village trustees meeting, officials approved a two‑year turf mowing contract with Romero Romero Guzman Landscaping Inc. for $185,477.53 per year, accepted a $24,980 quote to paint piping at a Tinley Park pump station, and approved bimonthly disbursements totaling $4,159,514.54 plus payroll of $574,511.81. All motions passed by roll call.
The village trustees approved three contracts and authorized $4.16 million in disbursements during their regular meeting.
Village administrator Mark said bids for the turf mowing and landscape maintenance contract opened on Feb. 2 and drew six proposals. "The lowest of the current bidder was Romero Romero Guzman Landscaping Inc. ... We checked with three of the references and all said they perform at a high level," Mark said, recommending a two‑year contract with options to renew at the same price for $185,477.53 per year. Trustee Christofferson moved to approve the contract and Trustee Matson seconded; a roll call vote recorded those present voting aye and the motion carried.
Mark told trustees that a separate budget line originally intended for painting a pump station floor prompted staff to examine piping first after staff observed deterioration. He said only one contractor provided a quote for the piping work and recommended accepting that bid, transcribed as from "Maryville W," for $24,980 to paint piping on one pump station. Trustee Christofferson moved to accept the quote; Trustee Reiser seconded; the vote was recorded by roll call and the motion carried.
On financial matters, Trustee Madsen moved to approve the board's bimonthly disbursements of $4,159,514.54 and a payroll payment of $574,511.81 paid on 02/06/2026. The transcript records a second but does not explicitly name the seconding trustee; the roll call vote recorded those present voting aye and the motion carried.
Items on the consent agenda—approved earlier in the meeting by unanimous roll call—included the Jan. 26, 2026 minutes; an ordinance proposing a special service area for Spencer Meadows; an ordinance authorizing disposal of surplus property and a letter of agreement with the village of Markham to purchase two lawnmowers; a resolution objecting to rezoning of certain vacant property on South Parker Road in unincorporated Will County within roughly 1.5 miles of the corporate boundary near Mokena; and a proclamation recognizing Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month.
The meeting record shows that Trustee Scalise was absent for roll call. After voting concluded, trustees offered brief comments, and the meeting was adjourned.
