Loading...
Summary
The board approved an ordinance authorizing a contract with Algot Enterprise to replace Village Hall siding and address water infiltration for $254,877; staff said alternates and material choices are included and that the product carries a 30-year warranty to be confirmed.
The Village Board approved an ordinance authorizing the village manager to execute a contract with Algot Enterprise to replace siding and correct water infiltration issues at Village Hall for $254,877.
Director Bennett told trustees the existing siding had deteriorated and that a water infiltration study identified needed repairs and weatherproofing changes. The village went to bid and received five responses; staff recommended awarding the low bid after confirming scope, prevailing-wage compliance and references. Bennett said two alternates (removing metal channels and increasing lap size) reduce cost and were included in the recommended award, yielding savings of about $14,700 and $18,700 respectively that are reflected in the ordinance price.
Bennett displayed product samples and said the recommended material is a composite "Hardy board" finish in an "aged pewter" color chosen to reduce visual change and long lead times for custom colors. When asked about warranty, Bennett said he would confirm the precise warranty term with the vendor but indicated a 30‑year product life was expected.
Trustee motions to approve were made and seconded; roll-call votes were recorded in favor and the motion carried.
Action details: The ordinance was described in the meeting as "ordinance 20 26 dash 0 4 4" authorizing the manager to execute the contract with Algot Enterprise for $254,877 including alternates.
Next steps: Staff will follow up with the exact warranty language and finalize contracting paperwork.
