End
Overview
Overview
To avoid delays in making emergency repairs or to make street lighting rehabilitation/ improvements beyond the capacity of in-house staff, hourly rates from qualified contractors were requested from area contractors. H & H Electric, Co. is the primary contractor in this area of work. In early 2017, the Village entered into an agreement with this contractor and staff is requesting to amend the agreement to allow for additional repair work.
Body
Staff Recommendation
Approve the Resolution.

The funds are split up between three contractors, H & H Electric, Co., Meade Inc., and Lyons Electric Co. Inc.
The current agreement with H&H Electric, Inc. is for $23,500.00 and it is proposed to be amended to $33,500.00.

The cost for street lighting and traffic signal system repairs in 2017 will not exceed $55,000.00 in total from all contractors. To date, $18,903.21 has been spent.
