amendment will increase the current transfer out budget for the General Fund in the
amount of $730,000. The amendment includes removal of $475,000 planned transfer to
the Street Construction Fund, increase of $1.1 million transfer to Debt Service Fund to
cover the 2018B Debt Service Levy for Police and Fire headquarters and an increase of
$100,000 transfer to the Flood Control Construction Fund to cover the additional
engineering expenses for Levee 37 Phase II.
After the amendments are executed, the General Fund Balance will be $62,202,886.

8.1 Motion to accept bid for Street Resurfacing Program in an amount not to exceed
$4,405,784.
Mr. Dorsey stated this annual program's purpose is to maintain all Village streets on an
average 20 -year service life cycle. Mr. Dorsey stated this year's street resurfacing project
includes 7.3 miles of Village Streets and is being funded through the Street Improvement
Construction Fund, the Motor Fuel Tax Fund and the Rebuild Illinois Fund. Mr. Dorsey
stated the cost of resurfacing streets is less than the cost of reconstruction. This project
is bid annually.
Five bids were received for the 2021 Street Resurfacing Program. Mr. Dorsey provided
details of the bid results. Arrow Road Construction submitted the lowest cost, responsive
bid. The bid prices submitted for 2021 averaged an increase of 3.6% in cost compared
to the 2020 bid. Arrow Road Construction has previously completed similar work for the
Village and their work has been satisfactory.
In a response to a question from the Village Board, Mr. Dorsey stated more accurate
bids are received by bidding the project annually. Costs and quantities can vary from
year-to-year and this allows the Village to fine-tune quantities resulting in best pricing
by bidding annually.
There was no further discussion.
