SIDEWALK PROJECT
Before the arrival of Mr. Frank Klein, Mrs. Hunter reported to

Mrs. Hunter told
Mr. Schoeffmann that the Board wants to do the most thorough job possible
at the lowest cost.
Mr. Schoeffmann recommended going ahead with the
TV inspection of the sewers and said it is "buying insurance" to have
this procedure done.
Mr. Schoeffmann also said that he would recommend
waiting until the winter to get bids and do the job in the Spring because
there has to be two weeks of good weather after the concrete is poured in
order for it to dry properly, and he also is not sure whether he can get
the Village pavers to come back to do the job anymore this year.
Mr. Klein arrived with. a preliminary set of specs that he had
prepared.
He told the Board that according to the timetable he has set
up there should be no problem in getti_ng the job done before the bad weather.
He also does not see any problem with doing the concrete work in October.

Mr . Klein said that from his inspection he sees the asphalt
settling in about six places mainly around the sewers.

TV inspection will show if and where there are cracks in the pipes.
He
said his specifications call for removing the entire sidewalk and all the
"junk " down at l east two feet, and then put in two feet of crushed stone .
He also proposes to build a catch basin at the south end.
Mr . Klein told the Board that he feels that problems could arise
with the work being done by two different
contr~ctors,
namely the Village
having the responsibility for the driveway and his contractors doing the
sidewal k , because if there is any damage from one to the other , who takes
-z
the responsibility :
He asked that the Board make/
its decision tonight
so that he can complete the specifications inunediately .
Mr. Kle in retired from the meeti ng.
