Northfield approves Acendex IT services for 199 Ledge Road; Coventry Drive out for bid
Summary
Engineer Daniel Collins told council that the Coventry Drive Reconstruction Project is out to bid and recommended accepting Acendex's proposal for Computer Hardware and IT Services at 199 Ledge Road, which Council authorized unanimously. Collins also submitted a Sagamore Road ditch elimination project for this year's budget.
Council authorized acceptance of Acendex’s proposal for Computer Hardware and IT Services at 199 Ledge Road after Engineer Daniel Collins presented two proposals and recommended Acendex.
Collins told Council the Coventry Drive Reconstruction Project is out for bid and that five companies have requested plans so far; he said he expects additional bidders. He also reported he submitted a Sagamore Road Ditch Elimination Project for inclusion in the budget to address a resident’s drainage problem by installing an underground sewer pipe to preserve the roadway.
A motion to accept the Acendex proposal was made by Councilmember Renell Noack, seconded by Alan Hipps, and approved on a unanimous roll-call vote.
Why it matters: the Acendex authorization advances the Village’s plan to outfit or support the 199 Ledge Road facility with IT and hardware services. The Coventry Drive project moving to bid and the Sagamore Road proposal in the budget stage signal forthcoming public-works activity and potential construction in affected neighborhoods.
What’s next: bids on Coventry Drive will be evaluated as they are received; the Sagamore Road project will be considered in the budget process; specifics on contract value and project timelines were not provided in the meeting record.
