Board approves highway and township maintenance bids, contingent on IDOT approval
Summary
The board approved awarding township and county maintenance bids contingent on Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) approval and no contestations; County Engineer Catherine Terando described maintenance work, equipment updates and salt bid submissions.
County Engineer Catherine Terando updated the board on recent maintenance: crews responded to snow events, cleaned ditches, installed entrances, hauled chips for summer seal coating and prepared equipment (cab and chassis arrived for a new truck). She said trench gates were cleaned and replaced in the shop and that salt bid numbers have been submitted.
"The maintainers attended snow events, cleaning ditches and working on installing entrances," Terando reported. After the update the board approved a resolution to award bids for various township and county maintenance sections contingent on IDOT approval and absence of contestations (motion by Perona, seconded by Meierkord). The motion was recorded as #26-8 and the vote was unanimous.
The resolution conditions awards on IDOT approval and on there being no successful contestations; the transcript does not list dollar amounts or individual township bid totals. The highway office noted two operational items: upcoming seal-coating with hauled chips and arrival of a cab and chassis for a truck.
Next steps: awards subject to IDOT approval and any bid protest processes; the county will proceed with procurement as allowed.
