Board discusses wastewater polymer system, IEPA permit and procurement options; estimate roughly $300,000
Summary
Village staff and consultants reviewed a polymer system for the wastewater treatment plant that received an IEPA permit and discussed pursuing design-bid versus design-build procurement; the project estimate in the minutes is roughly $300,000.
Village staff reported meeting with Scott Trotter of Trotter Engineering about a polymer system for the wastewater treatment plant that the minutes say has been approved with an IEPA permit. The discussion focused on whether to solicit bids under a traditional design-bid approach or to pursue a design-build contract with Trotter Engineering performing design and construction oversight.
Minutes record an estimated project cost “to cost roughly $300,000” though the transcript numbers are partially garbled; trustees and staff discussed that a design-build delivery might permit adjustments during work to reduce costs. No procurement decision was made at the Jan. 20 meeting; the board discussed next steps including whether to go out to bid or to request a design-build proposal.
The board did not adopt a procurement schedule or authorize funds at the meeting; staff indicated further analysis and possible future agenda action would follow.
