VILLAGE MANAGER'S REPORT
A. Request Village Board approval for ratification for costs incurred for emergency material
testing - Phase I construction projects in an amount not to exceed $10,000 (Village
Manager Janonis corrected this item stating the amount should have been; in an amount
in excess of $10,000.) Fire Chief Mike Figolah provided background information
including staffs recommendation for Items A. and B. - material testing.
The initial selection of a non-union material testing company to perform the testing for the
Phase I projects created a situation where picketing of the work by union workers could have
significantly delayed the entire project. Until the Village was able to elicit proposals for
material testing a union shop material testing company was hired on an interim basis; which
allowed the project to remain on schedule.
Trustee Hoefert, seconded by Trustee Zadel, moved for approval of request for ratification for
costs incurred for emergency material testing - Phase I construction projects in an amount in
excess of $10,000.
Upon roll call: Ayes:
Nays:
Hoefert, Juracek, Korn, Polit, Zadel
None
Motion carried.
B. Request Village Board approval to accept proposal for professional services for material
testing for Phase I construction projects in an amount not to exceed $33,634.
