Legislative Meeting November 19, 2025 Page 2 of 3
Michael Kosier wrote, “When we prepared the current not-to-exceed (NTE) budget of
$110,000 for owner required testing and special inspections, it was based on previous
experience with treatment plant construction; however, it was noted that the actual cost
would be dependent on contractor schedule and productivity, and the budget would be
revisited as we get closer to construction completion”; and
WHEREAS, Arcadis advised that the testing and special inspections budget requires
additional funding for Tectonic Engineering to continue providing these required
services through project completion “assuming the contractor(s) continue to schedule
their work at the current pace”; now therefore be it
RESOLVED, that the Village Manager is authorized to sign the November 4, 2025
