Summary

Village Attorney Michael Durkin told the board two contract resolutions for the new Village Hall (architect Wright Heerema and construction manager F.H. Paschen) are included on the consent agenda but contain terms still being finalized; execution will be subject to final approval by the Village Manager, President and Attorney.

Village Attorney Michael Durkin reported that two consent-agenda items — a standard form agreement with Wright Heerema Architects, Ltd. for design services and a guaranteed-maximum-price construction-manager contract with F.H. Paschen, S. N. Nielsen and Associates, LLC — remain under negotiation.

Durkin said the resolutions include language allowing the Village Manager, President and Attorney to finalize terms before execution. He stated there are a "few more terms" under each contract that need to be finalized before the documents are signed.

The contract resolutions were included on the consent agenda and carried by the board in the evening's roll call vote; the minutes record that final forms will require subsequent approvals indicated in the resolutions' conditional language.
