Cherry Valley approves holiday lights contract, well-house change orders and equipment purchases
Summary
Trustees authorized a $10,500 holiday lighting contract, approved two change orders totaling $6,434.93 for Well House #7 work, and authorized equipment purchases including battery backups ($3,217) and an AES radio ($1,511.53); all motions passed 6-0.
The Village Board approved several Public Works items on Oct. 7 after motions by Trustee Mike Neville and seconding votes, each recorded as a 6-0 roll-call passage.
Key approvals included hiring Four Seasons (Loves Park) to install downtown holiday lights at a cost of $10,500 from line item 5170 ("includes installation, removal, storage of all holiday lighting and materials"); two change orders with DPI Construction for Well House #7 — Change Order #34 for $3,273.60 to install a raw waterline for testing and Change Order #35 for $3,161.33 to install an airline from the well house to the well head (funded from line item 5400 Water); purchase of replacement batteries for the village's Battery Backup Server System from JCWIFI.COM Computer Dynamics for $3,217.00 (line item 5375 Capital Improvements); and contracting Per Mar Security Services to install an AES radio communicator and provide monitoring and inspections for $1,511.53 (line item 5405 Water).
Why it matters: the approvals address infrastructure work on Well House #7 (noting bond funds for Well #7 are depleted), continuity of server backup systems, and seasonal downtown decorations; several items have direct budget line-item impacts recorded in the minutes.
