Board approves four‑year compressor‑rebuild contract for village ice rinks
Summary
The board approved a four‑year agreement with Premistar Mechanical Services to rebuild and maintain five ice‑rink compressors through 2029 for up to $165,280, a measure staff said is intended to prevent catastrophic failures and ensure reliable rink operation.
The Bensenville Village Board voted to approve a four‑year agreement with Premistar Mechanical Services for compressor rebuilds and maintenance at the village ice rinks, not to exceed $165,280 for 2026–2029.
Vince told the board the village’s two rinks have five compressors in total — three six‑cylinder compressors at the Edge Ice Rink on Jefferson and two four‑cylinder compressors at the John Street Ice Rink — and that the equipment operates nearly continuously during the season. "The Village ice rinks have a total of 5 compressors in total," Vince said, adding that continuous operation requires regular service to ensure reliability and to prevent catastrophic failure.
Staff said the proposed four‑year contract would add compressor rebuilds to the village’s existing maintenance agreement with the vendor, and recommended approval to maintain rink reliability. Trustees asked no substantive questions and approved the resolution by roll call.
The contract covers rebuilds and recurring maintenance; staff indicated approving this longer‑term agreement is a preventive measure to avoid larger unplanned replacement costs and rink downtime.
