Board notes Junction Way bid well under estimate; contract awarded on consent agenda
Summary
Board records show the Junction Way reconstruction low bid was roughly 17.4% below engineer estimates, producing about $51,000 in estimated savings; the project award was included in the consent agenda and approved by omnibus vote.
The board noted that the bid for the Junction Way reconstruction came in substantially below the engineer's estimate. "Just for the record on that, a bid for Junction Way did come in 17.4% below what our engineers estimate was, which was $51,000 in savings," the chair said after the omnibus adoption.
The Junction Way project was part of the five-item consent agenda that the board adopted together under the Illinois Municipal Code. The agenda listed the bid award to Martin and Company; because the items were approved by omnibus vote, the board did not debate the contract terms on the record during the meeting. Staff said the low bid will move forward through the formal contract and BEP documentation process before final execution.
For the precise contract amount, contractor bond documents and the signed contract in the clerk’s office should be consulted; the public agenda referenced the reconstruction award and the notable cost savings compared with the engineer estimate.
