Hampshire trustees approve easement, training contract, fiber, payments and asphalt change order
Summary
The Hampshire Village Board approved a temporary construction easement for a lead service line replacement at 152 E South Ave, renewed a police training maintenance contract (Vertra) for $26,839.99, contracted Midwest Fiber for public-works Internet service ($43,750 over five years), approved progress payment No. 6 to Lamp Inc. for $1,110,122, and a $28,229 change order to Schroeder Asphalt. Regular accounts payable of $345,927.96 were also approved.
The Hampshire Village Board approved several routine and project-related measures in one session.
Temporary easement for lead service line: The board voted to approve an ordinance granting a temporary construction easement, hold harmless and release for replacement of the public portion of the lead service line at 152 East South Avenue. Staff said legal drafted the agreement and the property owner has been contacted; trustees approved the motion on a roll-call vote (motion recorded as passing 6-0).
Police Vertra maintenance contract: The board approved a one-year Vertra system maintenance renewal for $26,839.99, the first scheduled renewal after a Department of Justice grant that purchased the virtual training system. The police chief (speaker 8) said the renewal is roughly 12% of the original purchase price and noted that interagency users offset about $5,400 per year.
Midwest Fiber Networks contract: Trustees approved a five-year contract with Midwest Fiber Networks for dedicated fiber service to the new public works facility, a staff-recommended award valued at $43,750 (total across five years). Staff said Midwest could install in about 90 days versus 120 days for Comcast, and the faster delivery drove the recommendation despite a modest price difference.
Progress payment to Lamp Incorporated: The board authorized progress payment No. 6 to Lamp Incorporated for the public works facility in the amount of $1,110,122. Staff said funds are available and the project remains on schedule.
Change order: Trustees approved a $28,229 change order to Schroeder Asphalt Services for additional undercuts and stabilization work on Jefferson Avenue.
Accounts payable: The board approved regular accounts payable of $345,927.96. Trustees noted the large Lamp payment would be included in the next accounts-payable run.
All motions listed above were approved by recorded roll-call votes during the meeting; no recorded votes opposed the motions in the transcript excerpts.
