Title
SportsPlex Electrical Improvement Project
History
Guided by the 2022 "Facilities Condition Assessment", the Public Works Department has completed several building improvements at SportsPlex in recent years. For example, between 2022 and 2025 roofs and gutters have been replaced, the walking track flooring was renovated, interior lighting upgraded, locker rooms modernized and an extensive HVAC project completed.
To continue improving the facilities infrastructure, funding was approved in FY2026 for the SportsPlex Electrical Improvement Project. Constructed in 2001, SportsPlex’s electrical infrastructure is a constant burden on the staff tasked with operating and maintaining the facility. The poor electrical system has even placed a strain on the athletic equipment by causing shutdowns, trips, or malfunctions. Furthermore, the facility has received multiple notices of code violations from Titan Safety Management, Inc., the Village’s safety surveyor. To address these issues, Public Works plans to have a new 112KVA transformer and two (2) 200A circuit panels installed in the SportsPlex’s 2nd floor electrical room. From there, new conduits and dedicated circuits will be installed to provide power to the facility’s exercise equipment. Additionally, a powder coated handrail will be installed in front of the equipment to provide a safe location for the project’s raceway and prevent tripping hazards.
Cooperative Purchasing / Contracting Programs
The Village utilizes a variety of cooperative programs (e.g. Omnia, Sourcewell, HGACBuy, State of Illinois Joint Purchase Program) to obtain proposals for goods and services. While not always the chosen approach, cooperative purchasing simplifies the procurement and service process for public agencies by allowing them to purchase through existing contracts negotiated by other public agencies. In other words, cooperative purchasing contracts have already gone through a competitive solicitation, evaluation process and been awarded to a supplier. The benefits of cooperative purchasing for public agencies include reduced procurement costs, greater time efficiency and the ability to obtain value-add and higher-quality products and services at industry-leading pricing. For further reference, additional information regarding cooperative purchasing has been included as supporting documentation.
