Antioch board approves pavement, park design and fireworks contracts and passes consent agenda
Summary
The Village Board approved multiple routine and capital items including a $1,137,957 pavement reconstruction contract, design services for Centennial Park ($119,500 plus potential add-ons), a $39,900 fireworks contract for July 4, and several consent-agenda items; all motions passed by roll call.
At its April meeting, the Antioch Village Board approved a series of routine and capital items during the consent and regular-agenda portions of the meeting.
The board approved the consent agenda (including the April 9, 2025 minutes, intergovernmental agreements and special-event liquor licenses) by roll call (six yes). It then approved accounts payable as presented (roll call: six yes). The amount read aloud in the meeting is recorded in the transcript; staff will publish the official claims ledger for verification.
On project contracts, the board accepted the low bid for the 2025 Woods of Maniac pavement reconstruction project in the amount of $1,137,957 (Resolution 25-32) and separately approved a professional services agreement with HR Green for construction engineering (Resolution 25-33). The board authorized a contract with Hitchcock Design Group for final design and construction-administration services at Centennial Park for $119,500 with potential add-ons up to $132,200 (Resolution 25-34).
The board also approved a contract with MAD Bomber Fireworks Production for a 30-minute July 4, 2025 fireworks show at $39,900 (Resolution 25-35); staff confirmed this cost is expected to be split 50/50 with the township.
All motions listed above were approved by roll call with unanimous recorded support (six voting yes on the items noted). Several trustees made brief remarks during roll calls but there were no substantive objections recorded on these items.
Why it matters: These approvals authorize near-term capital work on roads and parks and confirm event planning for summer 2025; the pavement and park contracts set budgetary and vendor expectations for construction and design timelines.
Next steps: Staff will finalize contracts, proceed with project initiation and include these items in the forthcoming budget book and project schedules. The official claims and contract documents will be posted with the village clerk.
