NEW BUSINESS A) Consider Approval of the Contract Award to Vinton Construction Company for the N. 47th Street Culvert Replacement Project. Matthew presented the bid results for the N. 47th Street Culvert Replacement Project. Five (5) total bids were received, and Vinton Construction was the low bidder. Vinton was also the contractor who completed the temporary emergency repairs back in October of 2025. It was moved by Mr. Wazniak and seconded by Ms. Riley to recommend approval of the Contract Award to Vinton Construction Company for the N. 47th Street Culvert Replacement Project. The motion carried unanimously. B) Consider Approval of the Contract Renewal to C.W. Purpero (formerly Keir w/ Natural Landscapes, Inc.) for Annual Maintenance of Stormwater/Natural Area Sites. Keir’s Company “Natural Landscapes, Inc.” was bought out by C.W. Purpero. Annually Keir maintains the Village’s natural areas, and he will continue to do so, but now under the company name of C.W. Purpero. It was moved by Ms. Riley and seconded by Mr. Wazniak to recommend approval of the Contract Renewal to C.W. Purpero (formerly Keir w/ Natural Landscapes, Inc.) for Annual Maintenance of Stormwater/Natural Area Sites. The motion carried unanimously. C) Consider Approval for the Purchase of a new Kubota (change in 2026 CIP item for Village Hall A/C Chiller). Staff recommended reallocating funding originally planned to replace the A/C Chiller replacement at Village Hall due to the increased and now unbudgeted cost we received. Replacement will be deferred into future years and included in next year’s CIP. Instead staff is recommending to repair the A/C Chiller and spend the remaining balance on a new Kubota for DPW summer operations. It was moved by Ms. Riley and seconded by Mr. Wazniak to recommend approval of the Purchase of a new Kubota (change in 2026 CIP item for Village Hall A/C Chiller). The motion carried unanimously.
