Discussion:
Village Engineer Dan Watson presented information on including additional work for the 2017 Street Improvement Program. Geneva Construction submitted the lowest of three bids received, coming in twenty one percent below the Village Engineer's estimate of costs. With the very competitive pricing and funds still available in the budget, staff recommend considering additional road sections for the 2017 program, Engineer Watson discussed the fact that because the pricing was below the budget the Board could approve additional work for the great price.
