Schussler Park V3 Construction Group Change Order and Contract Amendment
History
The Village awarded RFP #23-037 to V3 Construction Group on May 15,2023 as the general contractor for the redevelopment of Schussler Park. On April 15,2024, the Board approved the expenditure of $319,056.83 for the purchase of a restroom/storage building from Romtec Building & Pumping Systems through the Sourcewell Joint Purchasing Cooperative Contract #081721-RMT, as well as a contract for installation of that building in a not-to-exceed amount of $350,000.00
