Board approves multiple contracts to repair Bensenville ice-rink systems
Summary
Trustees approved three contracts to address aging components at the village ice rinks: a $146,845 boiler package (Midwest Mechanical), a $27,200 building automation system (ABC) and $190,635.60 for cooling-tower sump and evaporator work (F.E. Moran).
Public-works staff explained both ice rinks are approaching 30 years old and that replacing entire rinks would cost an estimated $4.5–$5 million. Instead, staff proposed phased repairs to prolong facility life and reduce immediate capital outlay.
The board approved a $146,845 contract with Midwest Mechanical for a new boiler package to improve the snow-melt system, a $27,200 contract with Automatic Building Controls for a building automation system at the John Street rink, and a $190,635.60 contract with F.E. Moran for cooling-tower sump/pump replacement and evaporator retubing. Staff said these targeted repairs will reduce labor and time demands and were chosen after soliciting proposals from multiple vendors.
