6. Items for Discussion.
5.A. Rejection of Bids — 2019 Sidewalk and Curb Maintenance Program. Mr. Flatter
summarized the agenda item write-up and suggested that instead of re-bidding the 2019
Sidewalk and Curb Maintenance Program, the Committee could direct staff to use $135,000 for
sidewalk improvements along Washington Street. Alderman Garling proposed the idea of using
funds budgeted for the 2019 Sidewalk Program toward other road projects this year rather than
applying it towards sidewalk repairs on Washington Street. Alderman Beifuss inquired how
much it would cost for the proposed sidewalk repairs on Washington. Mr. Flatter explained that
the Washington Street Reconstruction Project is primarily pavement improvements without curb
or sidewalk work, but there are a few depressed curbs, unnecessary driveway aprons, and
sidewalks that could be corrected before the pavement would be done; the initial assessment
estimates a cost of $85,000.00 for sidewalk improvements along Washington Street. In Mr.
Flatter’s opinion, if businesses along Washington are being interrupted by the reconstruction
project already, and there is a contractor ready and willing to do the additional work for a
reasonable price, now would be the ideal time to work on the sidewalks as well. Following
discussion, Alderman Garling proposed putting up to $105,000.00 towards Washington Street
sidewalk improvements (from the $135,000.00 budgeted for the Sidewalk and Curb Maintenance
Program) and saving the balance of $30,000.00 in the Capital Projects fund for future projects.
Alderman Garling made a motion, seconded by Alderman Dimas to reject the bids and use
up to $105,000.00 of the 2019 Sidewalk and Curb Maintenance Program budget towards
Washington Street sidewalk improvements and save the balance in the Capital Projects
fund.
Roll call found the vote unanimous for approval. Voting Yea: Aldermen Beifuss, Brown,
Dimas, Garling, Hallett, and Short. Voting Nay: 0.

A. Cancel the July 4, 2019, Infrastructure Committee Meeting.
