The North Aurora Village Board Monday officially canceled the Village’s July 3 Independence Day Fireworks and the North Aurora Days in August due to COVID-19 concerns.
The Board approved a contract with R.C. Wegman for construction management and bids for the items of demolition, painting, electrical, structural steel, and roofing / sheet metal for the silo restoration and illumination project in the amount of $463,425.
The project will be funded through the Route 31 Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District. This funding by law only can be issued for certain purposes, such as infrastructure and beautification projects within a finite geographic area.
The construction management, including the supervision of all of the subcontractors, as well as the installation of a door and the bottom of the silo, and the lift rental, will be performed or coordinated by R.C. Wegman. This is a cost savings of $124,375 from the 2019 bid while also including construction management.
