Consider Well #3 & 4 and Pumphouse #3 Project, Including Possible Award of Bid: Village Engineer Mike Davy gave an overview of the project. We are now in the final phase of the project to replace Well #2 which is contaminated with nitrates. We've already completed the well site investigation, have constructed test wells, and have drilled Wells #3 & #4. Two wells were needed to get adequate capacity. Water quality has been tested and is good. The bids received today were for constructing the pumphouse, doing the electrical controls, putting in the well pumps, and demolishing Wellhouse #2. Davy then reviewed the bids. Public Works Director Bryan Kaatz reviewed the need for relocating the village warning siren currently located on Wellhouse #2. Public Property Committee Chairperson Karen Strasburg reported the committee met and reviewed the options.  MOTION (Zook/Steinke) to accept the recommendation of the Public Property Committee to buy a 508 rotating warning siren from Federal Warning Systems and to have Emergency Communication System install it at the village hall. The total cost of equipment and installation shall not exceed $19,000. Because the need is a direct result of Wellhouse #2 being demolished, to include this cost in the Well #3/4 project.
