Smithton board approves contract change for 159 Turn Lane to avoid winter closures
Summary
Trustees approved changing the 159 Turn Lane construction contract from "working days" to "calendar days" to prevent extended winter closures; work is expected to start in spring with an estimated six-month timeline. The motion was moved by Trustee Jason Becherer and passed unanimously.
The Village of Smithton Board of Trustees voted July 21 to change the contractor’s time measurement for the 159 Turn Lane project from working days to calendar days to reduce the risk of extended winter closures. Village Administrator George Liyeos reported the easement work at 159 Turn Lane had been completed and said the change would allow a spring start and a six-month completion window.
Trustee Jason Becherer moved "to approve changing the contract from working days to calendar days," and Trustee Jim Mourey seconded; the board approved the motion by roll call. The minutes record Liyeos' description of the timeline and the practical advantage of using calendar days to avoid delays caused by winter weather. No public comment or objection was recorded during the item.
