Council reviews single bid for crossing-guard services at $456,165; officials cite personnel continuity and audit plans
Summary
The village received a single bid at $456,165 from Crossing Guard Services LLC to supply crossing guards for the coming school year; council discussed workforce continuity and plans to audit guard posts to align with police safe-route guidance.
During the June 24 meeting the council reviewed bids for crossing-guard services for the next school year. The village accepted a single returned bid from Crossing Guard Services LLC at $456,165.
Manager Keith said the figure is significantly less than this year’s cost (noted as over half a million dollars) and that the new vendor indicated they would likely hire many personnel from the existing vendor to preserve continuity at posts. The police department and the vendor will coordinate to audit crossing-guard posts and place guards where safe-routes-to-school work shows greatest need.
Council members asked staff to encourage the vendor to retain as many existing crossing guards as possible so students maintain relationships with familiar personnel. No final signed contract text or recorded roll-call vote for award was included in the work-session narrative; staff expected to move forward consistent with procurement requirements.
What happens next: Staff will proceed with vendor onboarding and an audit of crossing-guard posts in coordination with the police department and the district.
