The Village of Maywood Board of Trustees on Jan. 10 approved an omnibus package that authorizes preliminary and design engineering and construction engineering for a 2017 roadway improvements project and cleared several large vendor payments.
Trustee M. Rogers read the omnibus agenda and the board approved items A–H by voice vote. Item B authorizes an agreement with Edwin Hancock Engineering Company to provide preliminary and design engineering and construction engineering for resurfacing and related work on 19th Avenue (from Maywood Drive to Madison Street), Quincy Street (from the alley west of 5th Avenue to the alley east of 5th Avenue) and 4th Avenue (from Prairie Path to Wilcox Street), including sidewalks, driveway aprons, ADA ramps and drainage improvements. The transcript lists the estimated construction cost at $1,146,000; preliminary and design engineering at $94,000; construction engineering not to exceed $73,700; and a total estimated project cost of $1,313,700, to be paid from the Madison Street / 5th Avenue Tax Increment Financing (TIF) redevelopment fund.
Also approved as part of the omnibus were: payment to Amalgamated Bank of Chicago of $13,080.37 for a Jan. 1, 2017 principal and interest bond payment; authorization to move analog phone lines and DSL from AT&T to Comcast Business and to install a diverse metro Ethernet/fiber connection at the Police Department; payment to Accutron Computer Service for January consulting in the amount of $6,300.00; payment of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois health insurance premiums for January 2017 totaling $266,165.59; and payment to Allied Waste Service (Republic Services) for garbage pickup services (November 2016) in the amount of $157,540.00.
The omnibus motion was made by Trustee M. Rogers and seconded as recorded; votes on omnibus items were recorded as carried. The meeting packet described the roadway work as including ADA and drainage improvements; the board did not provide detailed construction schedules during the meeting.
The board’s approval moves the project into the engineering phase; further approvals will be required before construction contracting and disbursement of construction funds. The meeting record does not specify a construction start date or contractor award for the primary roadway construction portion.
The board reconvened after an executive-session recess and adjourned at 8:20 p.m.
