Board roundup: Homewood waste contract, bridge engineering agreement and highway paving bids approved
Summary
The Iroquois County Board approved several contracts and bids at the July meeting, including a Homewood Disposal waste‑hauling contract, an HR Green engineering agreement for the Milks Grove bridge, and two state paving bids for County Highway 9.
The Iroquois County Board approved multiple contracts and state bid awards during routine and committee reports at its July meeting.
Waste hauling: After committee review of competing bids, the board approved awarding county waste‑hauling services to Homewood Disposal at the lower monthly rates presented to the committee. The award covers multiple county containers with two pickups per week for selected locations.
Highway paving and bridge work: The board accepted state letting low bids to resurface County Highway 9 between Milford and Illinois 49 (low bid about $3.97 million) and for work around the I‑57 interchange (about $967,932.64). The board also approved an engineering agreement with HR Green for work on the Milks Grove Bridge with a not‑to‑exceed amount of $145,325.
Other approvals: The board approved the renewal of a cyber insurance policy at an annual premium of $9,063; authorized the sale of a delinquent‑tax parcel for $6,805.33; and recorded committee motions to pay claims and accept routine committee recommendations. All votes were recorded by roll call where required.
What comes next: Engineering and contractor schedules will move forward under county and state procedures; the board directed staff to coordinate with IDOT on timing for County Highway 9 work and to continue procurement steps for bridge and road projects.
