Title/Name/Summary
2025 Resolution for Improvement Under the Illinois Highway Code - Sidewalk Replacement Program II
History
The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) requires the Village to pass a resolution each year for the utilization of Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) funds. On January 6, 2025, the Board passed a resolution authorizing the appropriations of funds for the maintenance of Village streets and rights-of-way by Village staff, and associated IDOT-authorized expenditures for salt and electricity within the upcoming year. Their resolution form (BLR 14220) and the Municipal Estimate of Maintenance Cost (BLR 14222) were approved in the amount of $1,766,880.00.
The Village subsequently passed a second IDOT resolution on January 20, 2025, to fund the 2025 Sidewalk Replacement Program using additional MFT funds. This type of program requires its own resolution and following IDOT-approved guidelines. An amount of $1,150,000.00 was approved, and only $517,747.05 was awarded due to favorable bids received. IDOT guidelines only allow a single solicitation per resolution, therefore, a separate second resolution must be passed in order to use additional funds.
The Village plans to fund a second round of the 2025 Sidewalk Replacement Program using MFT funds following IDOT-approved guidelines. This second resolution is for the funds estimated for the 2025 Sidewalk Replacement Program Part II in the amount of $650,000.00. IDOT requires their form (BLR 09110) to be used and is attached.
Financial Impact
None.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to pass Resolution 2515, entitled: RESOLUTION FOR IMPROVEMENT UNDER THE ILLINOIS HIGHWAY CODE, related to the expenditure of MFT Funds for the 2025 Sidewalk Replacement Program Part II.
