LANSING, Ill. (March 23, 2018) – Though the Village of Lansing had made arrangements last spring with the low bidder for landscaping at Fox Pointe, paperwork problems prevented an official contract from being awarded. Robinson Engineering’s Jeff Pintar, who serves as Village Engineer on a variety of special projects, explained at the March 20 Committee of the Whole meeting that this has given the Village an opportunity to rethink some of the landscaping plans.
Bidding for the landscape work will open on Tuesday, March 27, so that a contract can be awarded by the Board at the April 4 Village Board meeting. Landscaping work is then scheduled to begin in mid-June, with hardscaping work (such as brick pavers) following in mid-July.
The first event scheduled to take place in the Fox Pointe venue is Autumn Fest 2018.
