Beardstown awards 15th Street/Sangamon Street paving bid and approves $170,000 MFT resolution
Summary
The council approved a $157,736.59 bid from Illinois Valley Paving and passed a Motor Fuel Tax resolution for $170,000 to support the 15th Street/Sangamon Street project, both by 7‑0 votes.
The Beardstown City Council on July 16 approved a bid and passed a Motor Fuel Tax resolution to fund work on the 15th Street/Sangamon Street project.
Alderperson Chris Baer moved to accept the bid of $157,736.59 from Illinois Valley Paving, a division of UCM, Inc.; Alderperson Keith Schramm seconded the motion, which passed by a 7‑0 roll call vote. Later in the meeting Alderwoman Dawn Seward moved, and Alderperson Eric Harbin seconded, a 'Resolution for Improvement Under the Highway Code' in the amount of $170,000.00 for the same project; that resolution also passed 7‑0.
The transcript records the contractor name and the two votes but does not provide further budget breakdowns or a project timeline. The Motor Fuel Tax resolution references the Highway Code as the legal authority for the improvement; specific funding allocations or required local matches were not specified in the recorded discussion.
The approvals clear the way for the city to proceed with contracting for the street project; the meeting adjourned at 7:02 p.m.
