Roselle board approves $4.12 million water-main contract, several ordinances and routine bills
Summary
At its March 9 meeting, the Roselle Village Board approved a $4,116,389.46 contract to replace water main and sanitary sewer infrastructure, authorized supporting engineering and concrete contracts, passed zoning and special-use changes for 225 E. Irving Park Road, and approved $1.7 million in accounts payable.
The Roselle Village Board on March 9 approved a series of routine but substantial measures, including a $4,116,389.46 contract for the 2026 water main and sanitary sewer replacement and several related contracts and ordinances.
Trustee Dela Pena moved to award the main construction contract to John Neary Construction Company Inc. and praised staff for assembling the package; Mayor Pawlowski noted the project replaces a sewer main installed more than 100 years ago. "Kudos to staff for pulling this all together," the mayor said. The resolution passed on roll call.
The board also authorized a $271,880 professional engineering services contract with Engineering Enterprises Inc. for construction engineering on the same project, and approved a concrete improvement program contract with Schrader and Schrader Inc. (not to exceed $188,940). Board members repeatedly noted that multiple bids came in under budget and that a portion of the concrete work is partially funded by an Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity grant.
Other votes included approval to submit a Cook County funding application and commit a $55,155 local match for final design work on Lawrence Avenue and Plum Grove Road, an amendment to the zoning code (table 3.2), and an ordinance granting a special use at 225 East Irving Park Road — a separate action from the TIF discussion — which the board said had unanimous Planning & Zoning Commission approval.
Trustee Lanisa moved to approve accounts payable totaling $1,704,471.13; the board approved the payment list on roll call. Earlier in the meeting, a trustee commended the fire department for recent CPR/AED classes and encouraged residents to sign up for training.
The meeting concluded with a request from Trustee Donke to review the village’s fire sprinkler ordinance and potential tiered requirements; staff agreed to return with trigger points and scenarios for future discussion. The board adjourned at 7:27 p.m., and the mayor reminded members of a special meeting next Monday.
