Trustee Compass moved the recommendation; the motion included waiving the competitive bid process in favor of the solicitation method used. Committee members noted the contract covers turf fertilization and weed control across fields, playgrounds and parks and described the scope as larger than some residents might assume.

The committee called the roll and recorded unanimous approval on the recommendation to the village board.

Trustee Reardon moved the recommendation and the committee approved it by roll call.

Staff presented highlights of the fall brochure and program list, noting the department issues three brochures annually (winter/spring, summer and fall). Programs include in-house classes and contracted programs where contractors supply labor and much of the equipment and receive a percentage of class revenue. The fall offerings will include fitness and athletic programs at the Sportsplex, a theater program, Special Rec activities, ice-rink New Year’s programming and heritage-site events. Planned special events mentioned for the guide include the concert series (August concerts), Centennial Park West Thursday events (including a market in September), the Veterans Golf Classic, a Civil War event at Stillwagon Farm, a Pumpkin Party, Thanksgiving-era turkey events and other holiday programming.

Staff also noted some programs are retired each year due to low participation. Trustees asked about dance programming; staff said some higher-level dance classes were discontinued after losing key instructors but general dance programming continues with new instructors as available.

The committee called the roll and recorded unanimous approval on the recommendation to send the fall program list and authorization to the village board for final approval and contract execution subject to the village attorney’s review.","The Committee of the Whole recommended that the village board approve the Recreation and Parks Department's fall 2025 program offerings and special events and authorized payment to contractual vendors and instructors based on participation and the resident rate; Trustee Reardon moved the recommendation.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6086945,"Dugan Park redevelopment: staff outlines plan; rezoning and permits needed",177,570000,747000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2893081-a149bc87f57ff5e76fa2114a07393a41&start=570&end=747","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2893081-a149bc87f57ff5e76fa2114a07393a41/thumbnail_570000.jpg","/articles/6086945/Orland-Park/Cook-County/Illinois/Dugan-Park-redevelopment-staff-outlines-plan-rezoning-and-permits-needed","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6086945-60d735758ba8988d90cf6240a75b9321/orig.mp4?Expires=1771163946&Signature=dYzWL46gn~WzichjQfWKQ7U0XHSmVgNv0-RvgDLio82qhE7ippzJouN~V-qNadSQLXLXtA~6aScqxeMM8o3509NHvEj7NvtAGsYbZtEJkEhGaQTaFqNlBecczcaGHmKSaqWrqB9X4Y50ASQxV-zQQRyRMMgzMnXmBmdIYn7OQiMaloykAYjF3Ud6Aq7hY0zFTqYjalpkXVpPgYY1MVYcokCM6X0qsjGh7HswjrCCFilh22EG2LGZiUe9-OroOl5xCsb703Gy-pVFNIEtSnEyIkj3bCD6j6Gu~lwXlGua~BRJhvhtiEJ1170ET4~H4VuK0YBT~FOYR1GBhClZqRCdIA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Staff presented a draft Dugan Park redevelopment plan for properties at 14700–14760 Park Lane and described the entitlement steps the village will pursue, including rezoning the property from R-3 to OS (open space), seeking a special-use permit for lighting at the facility, and requesting a variance to omit one sidewalk segment that would otherwise fall on a very steep incline.

According to staff, the draft layout shown to the committee includes 10 pickleball courts, expanded parking, refurbishment and lighting for soccer and ball fields, a playground upgrade, graded improvements, an additional parking area and a new sledding hill. Staff emphasized the matter was informational: public hearings have not yet been held, and the presentation was a draft staff report intended to brief the committee before formal hearings and board action.

Committee members asked clarifying questions and had no formal action; the item was recorded as discussion-only and will return for public hearings and formal entitlements at the next board meeting.","Staff presented a draft Dugan Park redevelopment plan including rezoning the site to open-space, lighting special-use permit, and a variance to omit a sidewalk segment; the item was discussion-only and will return to the board after public hearings and additional entitlement steps.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6086950,"Committee backs sidewalk replacement program contract, cites long-term assessment",151,430000,581000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2893081-a149bc87f57ff5e76fa2114a07393a41&start=430&end=581","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2893081-a149bc87f57ff5e76fa2114a07393a41/thumbnail_430000.jpg","/articles/6086950/Orland-Park/Cook-County/Illinois/Committee-backs-sidewalk-replacement-program-contract-cites-long-term-assessment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6086950-64ecaad39ad0bb272ed3fb5eef61071f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771163946&Signature=ROgJohmrGs2P0PNVScN3IVgCYavgImzdeG-FmUSpTcmmyEbRD9gjU1Gd2NitTokt46tCeO8nLlA3avnAFZaUBGo4zm8GxFxVAkoCjp2Q6w1~znHVOC8m6z~~4B~iJENAA5HbD90292PqnM3YIph36~YDiQkJbrnX3m6fi4EnCKlEEnzbvDJ7Z-bHkSGItCZGoFUo9wdUt7qpsCt7vIVsrQ0BAxqJjMJ3jKTnkjLescjQV0thnc2yD0wJhURWq8n9Fx7nlBpBz2uzQQg1KaPT2Y1lzBbYVf~KC9aga9FQ4C2koM2JwkSxEv5VtCf0oR~An-jniNQ1YqObz5-rLXL86g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Committee of the Whole recommended the village board approve a contractor agreement with Dale Incorporated of New Lenox, Illinois, for the 2025 concrete flatwork, asphalt and sidewalk replacement program (RFP 25-022) for a base cost of $262,970 plus contingency of $52,594, totaling $315,564.

Trustee Malani moved the recommendation, which included waiving the formal competitive-bid requirement and authorizing contract execution between the village and Dale Incorporated as the lowest-cost qualified responsive proposer. Committee members said the contract covers routine annual sidewalk repairs across the village, many prompted by water-main breaks that disturb sidewalks and produce tripping hazards.

Staff said the project follows a sidewalk assessment completed about three years earlier and a two-year plan to address tripping hazards and damaged walkways. Staff noted this contract addresses one phase of a multi-year program; additional sidewalk work and bids were expected to return at the next board meeting, with bids opening the ninth day after the committee discussion as noted in the transcript.

The committee called the roll and recorded unanimous approval on the recommendation to the village board.","The committee recommended awarding the 2025 concrete flatwork, asphalt and sidewalk replacement program (RFP 25-022) to Dale Incorporated of New Lenox, Illinois, for a not-to-exceed $315,564 and to waive formal bid in favor of solicited proposals; members said the work follows a villagewide sidewalk assessment.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6086955,"Committee recommends contract for police evidence storage mezzanine, waives bidding",108,318000,426000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2893081-a149bc87f57ff5e76fa2114a07393a41&start=318&end=426","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2893081-a149bc87f57ff5e76fa2114a07393a41/thumbnail_318000.jpg","/articles/6086955/Orland-Park/Cook-County/Illinois/Committee-recommends-contract-for-police-evidence-storage-mezzanine-waives-bidding","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6086955-83587ff4dee3fab168902c6b8eefc74a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771163946&Signature=jpRRuF9H9VX432rPPlDzPLPiVdAFVThLi1UK8XwpQ-6NO0tOV8s0lNwCJlFdOCVN182QTl5hAGg--n94cn91Xn7G2cNrOE5zNCvoGyIfDZWMkUzCpU8oZN0mwQVLn2r01Se9OsfG5TnUJGGgi0dZzjumxCqygyfr2HyZdMvCZaquFdIyrDUKN-SlT-7wItqF3Osi62TW7mcEJatJ~QbQ~u0fe3Chm8kuyevipqsKm8Ex~ViGqbaqnYz8oUy4bii3ySANU257lD~KmMTG23nQ1IEzpR1UvZNLiKCG~urJgYDJADk1xA5-V3hbFHFHP~m7urQx8e4qPNhsvIkllwGbIg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Committee of the Whole in Orland Park recommended that the village board approve a contractor agreement with Cruise Construction of Blue Island, Illinois, for the Police Department evidence storage room project (RFP 25-007) at a base cost of $321,027 plus a 10% contingency ($32,102.70) for a total not-to-exceed contract price of $353,129.70.

Committee members said the project will expand secure indoor storage at the police station and extend the usable storage life by roughly two decades by adding a mezzanine. The committee also voted to waive the competitive bidding process and use a competitive proposals solicitation instead; the motion to recommend that waiver and the contract award was made by Trustee Reardon.

In discussion, a committee member described the department’s need to retain some evidence “for a period of time, some of it forever,” and noted the department was running out of space. A staff member (Joel) told the committee the mezzanine option would allow the village to keep evidence inside the police station while gaining roughly 20 years of storage capacity.

The committee called the roll and recorded unanimous approval on the recommendation. The committee’s action is a recommendation to the village board; the transcript records the vote as a committee recommendation rather than a final board contract execution.

The project will proceed to the village board for final authorization and contract execution; the committee record does not specify contract start date, payment schedule or subcontracting details.","The Committee of the Whole recommended the village board authorize a contractor agreement with Cruise Construction for the Police Department evidence storage room project (RFP 25-007) for a not-to-exceed $353,129.70, and voted to waive the formal competitive bidding process in favor of soliciting proposals.","actionData","errors"]
