Steger board approves up to $5,000 for geotechnical testing on Kings Road
Summary
Trustees voted unanimously to accept GEOCON Professional Services' geotechnical proposal for Kings Road (Steger Rd. to Richton Rd.) in an amount not to exceed $5,000, using MFT funds; Mayor Joyce said the engineering is required regardless of long-term funding timing.
The Village of Steger Board of Trustees voted Jan. 20, 2026 to accept a geotechnical-services proposal from GEOCON Professional Services, LLC for pavement cores and evaluation on Kings Road (Steger Road to Richton Road) in an amount not to exceed $5,000. Trustee Thurmond made the motion and Trustee Trotier seconded; the roll call vote was recorded as ayes from Hanus, Kaminski, Thurmond, Trotier and Perchinski.
Mayor William Joyce explained that the engineering work is necessary even if federal MFT funding is delayed: "Either way, we have to do the engineering, so we are going to move forward with the engineering and do this in MFT dollars that we have sitting in the bank," he said. Trustees discussed using existing MFT dollars rather than waiting for potential SSMMA awards.
The board approved the work to proceed immediately; officials said completing geotechnical cores will enable proper design for a longer-lasting pavement rather than a short-term repair.
