Faced with higher-than-expected construction bids for its new public works facility, Buffalo Grove trustees will decide Monday how to proceed with the $13.1 million project.
Trustees voted last May to purchase a 173,000-square-foot warehouse at 1650 Leider Lane with plans to redevelop the 9.5-acre site for the public works department.
Officials put 29 aspects of the project out to bid last month and received 128 bids, Deputy Village Manager Mike Skibbe said. "The good news is that there's significant interest in the project and it's appealing to the market," he said.That could lead trustees to either spend more on the facility than expected or scale back the project.
The village staff will ask trustees Monday to reject some bids, waive others and allow negotiations to occur on roughly 10 bid packages that require closer scrutiny. Skibbe said they also will work with engineers and architects to reduce the scope of the project where needed.The project is financed through general obligation bonds, a letter of credit and cash reserves.
