A second contract for $97,950 was awarded to P.T. Ferro Construction Company of Joliet for the Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) Pavement Patching Program. This work will focus on repairing 220 square yards of pavement at various locations on Wolf Road, a key roadway in the village.

Finally, the board awarded a contract for the Street Patching Program to Oak Lawn Blacktop Paving Company. The base bid was $52,000 for 1,000 square yards of asphalt patching. The board also authorized a budget allowance of up to 25% more, bringing the total potential contract value to $65,000, to address unforeseen repairs such as water main breaks.

Peloquin noted that all winning bidders were the lowest responsible bidders and have completed satisfactory work for the village in the past. Work on the projects is expected to be split between the fall and the upcoming spring.
