Dunlap board approves $5.3 million bill payments, awards Wilder‑Waite construction contracts
Summary
The Dunlap Community Unit School District #323 board approved payment of $5,302,572.52 in bills and unanimously awarded trade contracts and a guaranteed maximum price to P.J. Hoerr for the new Wilder‑Waite Grade School, and approved related contracts and resolutions.
The Dunlap Community Unit School District #323 Board of Education on April 15 approved payment of $5,302,572.52 in bills and moved forward on construction for the new Wilder‑Waite Grade School by awarding trade contracts and approving a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) exhibit with P.J. Hoerr.
On a motion by Tim Wagenbach, seconded by Nicolas Yemm, the board approved the bill list and accompanying financial reports totaling $5,302,572.52; the roll call vote was unanimous. The board then voted to award trade contracts for the Wilder‑Waite project to the lowest responsible bidders and to assign those contracts to PJ Hoerr as construction manager under the district's contract with PJ Hoerr. That motion was made by Youssef Boudjarane, seconded by Tim Wagenbach and approved unanimously.
The board also approved the GMP exhibit to the P.J. Hoerr agreement on a motion by Theresa Holshouser, seconded by Nicolas Yemm; the vote was unanimous. In the same set of business the board approved administrator contracts, the 2026 Bradley University graduation venue contract and resolutions to intervene in a property tax appeal; each of those motions passed on unanimous roll calls recorded in the minutes.
Board President Tom Feldman presided over the meeting. The actions mean the Wilder‑Waite construction manager and trade contractors are authorized to proceed under the terms recorded in the board packet and the GMP exhibit; the packet provided to trustees identified PJ Hoerr as construction manager and named the lowest responsible bidders for the trade packages. The district announced that the groundbreaking for the new Wilder‑Waite Grade School will be held April 17 at 11:15 a.m. with a live feed on the district's YouTube page.
No dissenting votes were recorded in the minutes for any of the financial or contract approvals. The board did not provide additional budget breakdowns in the meeting transcript; more detailed financial attachments were included in the board packet but are not specified in the minutes.
