Mayor Latta called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. Roll call
was taken. All members were present.
Administrator Van Vooren reported an element of the approved
1992-93 budget was $85,OOq for the maintenance of streets. The
Board authorized the Village Engineers to prepare specifications
in order to complete repairs to the following roads:
1. Repair and widen Eastern Avenue from the Railroad
tracks south to Lockport including sidewalk on
the west side.
2. Repair a section of Indian Boundary Road
approximately 300 feet.
3. Repair a section of Lily Cache Road approximately
200 feet.
The Village Engineer had estimated that these projects would
cost approximately $78,000. The fees for this project are
established by IDOT and is estimated to be around $8,000, therein
a total cost of $86,000. The Village budget anticipated funding
$25,000 from the General Fund-Street Maintenance, and $60,000
from the Motor Fuel Tax-Street Maintenance account.
On Monday, July 13, 1992 the Village staff opened and publicly
read all bids received. Five bids were received, the lowest bid
being submitted by James D. Fiala Paving Company in the amount of
$fi7,957.20 (12.5 below Engineer's estimate).
At the time the maintenance project was prepared, staff
recommended same additional maintenance work, oil and chip, if
funds were available on College Street and Union Street.
Joe Regis, Village Engineer, gave some background on Fiala Paving
Company. Fiala has been IDOT qualified for a number of years.
They just purchased an asphalt plant near Plainfield. See no
problem with them completing the work. Administrator Van Vooren
stated they were also awarded the overlay project for IDOT for
Route 59 from Main Street to 135th Street.

The Board discussed the restoration work on Eastern Avenue.
Administrator Van Vooren stated the contract does not include
the restoration for the construction and sidewalk. Contract
calls for shoulder work to be done after the road is widened.
They will exavate a path wide enough to put the sidewalk in and
backfill it. It seems better if we don't have a contractor
that is not in the business of landscaping to bid on landscaping
work. Fiala will most likely sub the concrete work out. If
the Village does the restoration work, it would cost about $1,000.
J. Dement moved to award the 1992 Street Maintenance contract
in the amount of $67,957.20 to James D. Fiala Paving Company;
and to authorize staff to investigate completing maintenance work
on College Street and Union Ct. during the summer of 1992.
Seconded by M. Lambert. Vote by roll call.

D. Gullicksen commented there are ditches on either side of
the Village sidewalk that the high school project tare out and
