The Village of Bolingbrook Board of Trustees on May 27 approved a slate of contracts and ordinances, including a $4,618,354.65 contract with Builders Paving, LLC for the 2025–2026 street resurfacing program.

Trustee Michael T. Lawler moved the resurfacing award and Trustee Jean M. Kelly seconded. The Village engineer reviewed six bids and recommended the lowest bidder; the Public Services and Development Committee recommended approval. The roll-call vote was recorded as Yea 6 (Carpanzano, Doris, Kelly, Lawler, Patel, Quintero).

The trustees also approved a $51,153.00 purchase from Traffic Control Corporation for streetlight pole materials and adopted multiple resolutions authorizing vendor purchases for the coming fiscal year. Those purchases include up to $23,000 for liquid sodium bisulfite from Univar Solutions (Resolution 25R-034); up to $60,000 for chlorine gas and sodium metabisulfite from Alexander Chemical Corporation (25R-035); up to $75,000 for polymer from Polydyne Inc. (25R-036); and up to $45,000 for pond maintenance chemicals from Aquafix (25R-037). Each resolution passed on unanimous recorded votes of the trustees present.

The board approved a $69,157.89 estimate from McCann Industries, Inc. to repair a 2022 Case 621G endloader (25R-038) and authorized a $60,000 fireworks contract with RKM Fireworks, Inc. for the village’s July Fourth celebration (25R-039).

Infrastructure-related items approved included a $64,300 proposal from Terra Engineering Ltd. for construction engineering services for the Woodcreek Drive culvert replacement project (25R-041) and adoption of the village’s local share of construction costs for that project totaling $179,449.14 (25R-042). The meeting record notes the culvert program is federally funded up to 80 percent.

The board voted to continue third-party plan-review services with T.P.I. Building Code Consultants (25R-043), Lakeside Consultants (25R-044) and SAFEBuilt (25R-045); the SAFEBuilt continuation reflected a 3.9 percent cost increase tied to the Consumer Price Index.

On land-use matters the board passed three ordinances granting special-use permits: Ordinance 25-015 approved a planned development and variances for a 7 Brew carry-out coffee shop with two drive-through lanes at 271 S.

The board also approved routine financial measures: payables totaling $2,397,129.25 (Bill Listings A and B) and accepted financial receipts showing year-over-year increases in state income tax, sales tax and motor fuel tax receipts for early 2025.
