A Resolution Approving an Amendment to the Renewal of an Independent Contractor Agreement with Cerniglia, Co. for 2025 Emergency Water and Sewer Repair Work to Increase the Not to Exceed Amount from $40,000.00 to $95,826.33.00, Authorizing its Execution and Directing Staff to Prepare the Necessary Budget Amendment

Introduction
overview
The Water & Sewer Division staff investigated a water leak on a 10" valve located at North Ave & Grove on February 10, 2025. Given the leak's large size and proximity to high-risk facilities (namely a senior citizen living facility and medical offices), specialized equipment was required for the repair and shutdown. The Village lacks the necessary equipment and expertise to address these conditions and requested the use of the Village's emergency contractor, Cerniglia Co., to complete the repair. The cost of the repair exceeded the existing contract amount with Cerniglia Co. and the Village Manager approved Emergency Spending Authority to facilitate this emergency repair. Staff are now seeking retroactive approval to increase the contract amount and a Q2 budget amendment for reallocation to cover the cost of this repair.
