Board approves DCEO grant‑funded police facility upgrades and related contracts
Summary
Using a $150,000 DCEO grant, trustees approved a set of police department improvements and vendor contracts including fire alarm replacement, ballistic glazing and walls, HVAC work, and garage door replacement.
Staff told the board a facility assessment recommended multiple safety and efficiency upgrades at the police department; the village received a $150,000 DCEO grant and proposed specific contracts to address priority items. The board waived formal bidding for grant‑eligible items and approved contracts including Brandenburg Electric Systems for fire alarm replacement ($48,100), Moore Glass for ballistic‑resistant glazing ($20,580), Champion Drywall for ballistic walls (~$29,004.55), Jean May for HVAC upgrades (~$26,640) and Middleton Overhead Door for garage doors ($21,090).
Trustees asked about project timing and coordination to avoid contractors working over one another; staff said projects would be mobilized according to contractor schedules and coordinated with the police department. Board members described the upgrades as necessary and noted that grant funds, not village operating revenue, are covering these items.
