Protective netting at the Libertyville Sports Complex Driving Range — in need of replacement due to weather-related damage in May 2015 — incurred further damage during the bidding process to find a vendor for repair. The incident caused a slight delay in the request and resulted in a change order. While the original cost was estimated at $50,000, the second round of damage upped the price by an additional $8,945, according to contractor McScot Golf Inc.
The board approved financial business pertaining to Bridge Development Partners LLC. Correspondence from the firm indicated that all construction of public improvements was completed by late January; and in a lone rejection, the board refused a bid that came in over the budgeted amount for a water treatment plant valve replacement as per the recommendation of Public Works Director Paul Kendzior.
