Mahomet trustees move two infrastructure contract awards to consent agenda
Summary
Trustees voted unanimously to advance a $492,721.78 sanitary sewer extension bid from SNC Construction and a $291,618.75 MFT concrete patching bid from A & A Concrete to the consent agenda; administrators also reported a burst pipe at village property and gave a winter salt update.
Mahomet trustees on Feb. 10 voted to move two infrastructure contract awards to the consent agenda, advancing consideration of a sanitary sewer extension and a concrete patching project without separate final action.
Eric Crowley, the village's Public Works Superintendent, told the board that SNC Construction submitted the low combined base and Alternative Bid #1 for the Lake of the Woods Road sanitary sewer extension at $492,721.78. Crowley said the bids this round were more competitive than last year, that the low bid came in below the engineer's estimate and under the budget, and that the work is intended to relieve pressure on sewer mains serving the Sandy Ridge and Oak Creek areas and to extend north on Lake of the Woods Road to allow potential connections for residents on Pearl Drive. Crowley said the contract will use more open cuts rather than boring and estimated construction would take a couple of months, with weather potentially affecting the schedule.
President Jason Tompkins called for a motion to move the sewer resolution to the consent agenda; Trustee Colravy moved and Trustee Harpst seconded. Clerk Dawn Mohr conducted a roll-call vote, and the motion passed 5-0 to advance the resolution to the consent agenda.
Village Engineer Ellen Hedrick briefed trustees on the Motor Fuel Tax-funded concrete patching project (MFT Section 26-0000-00-GM). Hedrick said the low bid from A & A Concrete, LLC was $291,618.75, which also came in below the engineer's estimate. She outlined a timeline for repairs and said the work is expected to be completed before the start of the school year. Tompkins asked for questions; none were raised. Trustee Harpst moved and Trustee Schriver seconded the motion to move the concrete patching award to the consent agenda; Clerk Mohr recorded a 5-0 roll-call vote.
In other business, Village Administrator Patrick Brown reported that a pipe burst in the building behind the village office and that staff are arranging necessary repairs. Public Works Superintendent Crowley said the village has used about 400 tons of road salt this winter, has roughly 350–400 tons remaining, and plans to increase next season's order to about 600 tons through the state bid.
Tompkins said he and Brown met with a marketing firm as part of work on the village's strategic plan and noted they attended the Chamber's year-end event. He reviewed upcoming meeting dates — a study session on Feb. 17 and the board meeting on Feb. 24 — then called for a motion to adjourn. Trustees voted 5-0 and the meeting ended at 6:24 PM.
