ITEM SUMMARY:
The West Chicago Historical Society, property owner of the building at 527 Main Street, has requested
Fagade Grant Program funding for the purpose of undertaking exterior painting of trim. The proposed
improvement is an eligible expenditure under the Program’s guidelines and complies with the City’s
Building and Zoning Code regulations.
Anthony Wdowiarz, on behalf of the West Chicago Historical Society, submitted three (3) estimates for
the painting project. The estimates secured: (1) Bee Painting for $5,900.00; (2) CertaPro Painters for
6,550.00; and Those Painting Guys for 6,495.00. The City’s contribution is typically 50% of the lowest
estimated cost(s), which in this instance is $2,950.00. A copy of the Agreement is included as Exhibit A
of the attached Resolution.
The funding for the Program comes from the downtown T.I.F. district, if sufficient funding is available
for the Program. City staff determined that there are sufficient funds available to reimburse up to
$2,950.00 to the West Chicago Historical Society for the successful replacement of the aforementioned
exterior painting per the Program’s guidelines.
ACTIONS PROPOSED:
Consideration of an award of a Facade Grant to the West Chicago Historical Society in an amount not
to exceed $2,950.00 to complete exterior painting per the attached scope of work at 527 Main Street. A
Resolution and Grant Agreement reflecting an amount of $2,950.00 are attached.
