The City of Highland Park is advancing a multi-year project to design and construct a permanent Place of Remembrance with a primary installation at the landmarked Rose Garden in Laurel Park and a secondary installation at Port Clinton Plaza. SWA Group has been contracted for design, and the City has completed ideation and concept development phases, with design development scheduled for July–September 2026, construction documentation through December 2026, and construction anticipated in 2027 and beyond. The City Council has increased the construction budget to an estimated 2300000–2800000 for the Rose Garden site alone, with Port Clinton Plaza costs still being developed, and has supported a total project budget in this higher range. An RFP for construction manager services closed on June 5, 2026, indicating that selection and preconstruction planning are imminent but not yet decided in this document. This is a significant capital and public space project encompassing landscape architecture, hardscape, lighting, accessibility, interpretive elements, and potentially water features, creating opportunities for contractors, specialty trades, interpretive design, and long-term operations and maintenance vendors to support implementation and future phases.
Pre-RFP
$2,800,000Jun 24, 2026Under New Business, the board lists a discussion item for renewal of the ABM custodial and maintenance contract valued at $2,098,446. This indicates the district is actively evaluating whether and how to renew a major facilities services agreement that covers custodial work and potentially building maintenance. Because the item is marked as 'Discussion' rather than action, vendor selection and renewal terms appear not to be finalized yet. This is a strong pre-RFP or pre-renewal signal for facilities service providers, cleaning vendors, and maintenance management firms to engage around service levels, pricing, and possible competitive proposals, as well as for technology providers that support custodial operations and workforce management.
Pre-RFP
$2,098,446Jun 23, 2026As part of funding Option 3 to support the Alcott water pipe project, the Board revised the Veterans Park court replacement project to maintain a 1:1 amenity replacement and eliminate the previously planned pickleball expansion. The updated Veterans Park scope is now approximately $1.01 million and is intended to proceed while reallocating capital capacity and Fitness Center repayment funds to the higher‑priority Alcott plumbing work. Staff will work with Bailey Edward to get updated construction pricing reflecting the revised scope. Although the expansion component has been removed, the park will still undergo significant court reconstruction, which may include surfacing, drainage, and related site work. Vendors specializing in sports courts, surfacing systems, lighting, and amenities should track this project as design and pricing are refined and before bids are solicited.
Pre-RFP
$1,010,000Jun 22, 2026In March 2026 an underground domestic water pipe leak was discovered beneath the Alcott Center preschool corridor, and investigation showed the under‑slab piping system has deteriorated and poses an ongoing failure risk. The Board agreed to a long‑term solution to abandon the underground system and reroute all domestic water piping above ground in phases from October 2026 through August 2027, minimizing preschool disruption. Executive Director Erika Strojinc reviewed a proposal from Bailey Edward for $76,310 in design, construction administration, and cost estimating services and estimated total project costs between $1.5 million and $2.5 million, partially offset by a previously awarded $275,000 DCEO grant. Funding strategy Option 3—approved at the May 26, 2026 meetings—redirects scope at Veterans Park and uses approximately $700,000 from Fitness Center repayment funds to support this capital work. Staff will proceed with Bailey Edward on design and secure updated construction pricing, but contractors for the piping and associated building work have not yet been selected, creating an upcoming opportunity for mechanical, plumbing, and general contractors as well as construction managers.
Pre-RFP
$2,500,000Jun 22, 2026Planning and Development Manager Laurie Hoffman presented the updated 2025 ADA Report and ADA Transition Plan, based on assessments by ACT Services Consulting. The latest assessment identified 1,416 accessibility barriers at 51 Park District locations, of which 244 have been corrected so far, leaving an estimated $1.8 million in remaining remediation work. The plan calls for addressing maintainable items through routine maintenance, expanding work‑order tracking, integrating ADA needs into the Capital Investment Framework, and conducting annual progress reviews. The Board agreed the Transition Plan will serve as the roadmap for the District’s accessibility work and praised the prioritization strategy and in‑house completion of some tasks. For vendors, this signals a multi‑year stream of accessibility‑driven construction, design, and consulting projects—such as path upgrades, restroom modifications, signage, parking, and playground access—where experienced ADA consultants, architects, engineers, and contractors can help the District prioritize, design, and implement corrections efficiently.
Pre-RFP
$1,800,000Jun 22, 2026Lake Zurich extended and modified its 5‑year 2024 agreement with Axon for body‑worn cameras, in‑car video, CEWs (Tasers), digital evidence storage, and software, locking in annual costs through 2034 and adding new AI tools. The Village will pay an extra $143,821.59 in 2026 beyond the $126,974.34 already paid, then $142,814.39 annually, for a total increase of $47,775.70 over the contract life. While Axon remains the incumbent for the next decade, this signals growing investment in digital evidence and AI workflows, creating adjacent work for training, policy consulting, integration, and back‑end storage/analytics partners.
Contract Award
$1,143,522Jul 6, 2026At the June 4, 2026 workshop, the Deerfield Park District revisited artificial turf options at the Brickyards fields after previously postponing decisions until after the Trinity development. The initial concept for multiple turf fields was estimated around 5 million, so the District has now engaged Eriksson Engineering to provide a cost estimate for a scaled-down single turf field option and will also gather costs for improving the existing natural turf, with financial contributions potentially coming from Pegasus and DYBSA. Staff expects to bring final cost information, affiliate input, and a proposed field use system to the September 3 workshop, but no construction or turf vendor has been selected yet. This positions the project in an evaluation phase where firms in sports field design, artificial turf systems, natural turf rehabilitation, and long-term maintenance can help refine options, lifecycle costs, and revenue/use models ahead of a formal procurement decision.
Pre-RFP
$5,000,000Jun 4, 2026The June 22, 2026 board packet shows significant ongoing construction activity labeled as “2026 BLDG RENO” and “Summer 2026 BLDG IMPROVEMENTS,” with Nicholas & Associates, Inc. paid $597,455 and $87,494 for construction manager services, and ARCON Associates, Inc. paid $27,884.46 for ten‑year life safety surveys and summer 2026 building improvements. Mr. Blumberg and Mr. Tiberi are scheduled to provide a Summer 2026 construction update to the Board, indicating multiple active renovation and addition projects across PES, TES, AJH, and Meridian. While the primary construction manager (Nicholas & Associates) and architect (ARCON) are already engaged, the scale of work and life safety compliance scope create needs for specialty trades, FF&E, technology integration, and post‑construction services. Vendors can position for change orders, specialty packages, and follow‑on summer work in future years, as well as maintenance, commissioning, and classroom reconfiguration once renovations are complete.
Contract Award
$1,736,580Jun 22, 2026The ITS department secured Board approval for a five-year copier lease and managed print services agreement with Proven IT valued at 1,977,000. The contract covers 168 Toshiba and Xerox multifunction devices across all schools, administrative buildings, and the district print shop, includes PaperCut print management software, and provides maintenance, service, supplies, and a dedicated on-site technician. This long-term agreement standardizes the district’s print infrastructure and embeds PaperCut-based usage controls and reporting. While major device procurement is decided for the next five years, it offers insight into the installed base and print management stack, creating opportunities for document workflow optimization, digital forms, scanning-to-cloud, and future strategies to reduce print volumes and transition to digital processes.
Contract Award
$1,977,000Jun 22, 2026The Board is asked to approve a Hazardous Conditions Eligible for Transportation resolution, requesting IDOT to extend applications for the 2026–2027 school year, and to authorize a $1,400,000 transfer from the Operations and Maintenance Fund to the Transportation Fund. The Treasurer’s Report also notes that First Student was paid $763,786.67 for March and April transportation, highlighting the scale of contracted student transportation services. These actions confirm that student transportation is a major and growing expense, with hazardous routes receiving state recognition and dedicated funding. While the core transportation provider (First Student) is already in place, the financial measures create a context for ancillary services such as routing software, GPS/telemetry, safety technology, hazardous route analysis, and third‑party audits to optimize costs and compliance. Vendors can explore how the district plans to manage transportation demand and safety in 2026–27 given the increased transfers and reliance on hazardous route designations.
