Village awards $137,360 sanitary sewer rehab contract, cites multi‑year maintenance cycle

Trustees approved resolution awarding the 2026 sanitary sewer improvement project to Performance Pipelining Inc. for $137,360. Gavin and Public Works staff said the work includes cleaning and televising, lining, lateral reinstatements and manhole repairs. The low bid is approximately 8% below the engineer’s estimate and under budget, staff said.

Public Works explained the village operates on a multi‑year cycle: televising in off years (budgeted around $50,000) and larger repair years (about $150,000) when lining and other work is performed. Thomas Engineering will supervise the project on site. Trustees asked about whether the low bid reflected underbidding concerns; staff noted the contractor has since built municipal references and that engineering supervision will be on site.
