Swansea approves $42,442 street-program contract and buys new Turf Tiger mower
Summary
The board approved a contract for design and bidding services for the village's FY2027 street program (estimated at $42,442) and authorized purchase of a new SCAG 61" Turf Tiger mower; village engineer briefed trustees on the pavement-management process.
The Swansea Board of Trustees approved two public-works items on June 1: a contract for design and bidding services for the village’s fiscal year 2027 street program and a capital purchase of a turf mower.
Trustees voted to approve a design-and-bid-services contract with Tenor Wade & Merkin (address listed in packet) for the FY2027 street program on an hourly basis with an estimate shown in packet of $42,442. Village engineer Jeff Rice explained the pavement-management process used to assess streets, prioritize work and align repairs with budget constraints.
Separately, trustees approved Resolution 1-2740 authorizing the purchase of a SCAG 61" Turf Tiger mower from Herb Turf & Equipment; the packet shows the price in the meeting materials (transcript lists '15,989' with punctuation unclear). Both measures were moved, seconded and carried by roll call.
What happens next: staff will execute the design contract and coordinate with the village engineer on pavement-assessment priorities, then schedule delivery of the mower through normal procurement channels.
Why it matters: the decisions fund and begin implementation of routine street maintenance and equipment replacement that support local road upkeep and park grounds maintenance.
