6.15.2026 - Village of Orland Park - Committee of the Whole

The Village of Orland Park Committee of the Whole meeting on June 15, 2026, included several procurement and contracting discussions. The board approved a contract with PT Pharaoh Construction Company for scenario 2 base work with a project contingency of $300,000, despite only receiving one bid due to market challenges. They also discussed the development of pickleball courts at Centennial Park and Sportsplex, considering options for shade structures with costs ranging from $1.1 million to $7 million, ultimately leaning toward installing foundations now and deciding on shading later. The public works facility upgrade was reviewed, with a revised budget of $15 million down from an initial $25 million estimate, including plans for a construction management model and repurposing existing structures. Updates were provided on pool equipment upgrades at Orland Park Health and Fitness Club and CPAC pool, emphasizing the critical need for replacement to avoid shutdowns. The board approved vendor contracts for strategic operating plans and feasibility studies related to Centennial Park West and a potential performing arts center. A significant agenda item was the approval of an amended and restated redevelopment agreement and ground lease with Edwards Realty and UCMC, including plans for a medical facility, Heroes Park, and a performing arts center feasibility study, aiming to de-risk the village's financial exposure and stimulate downtown development. Motions related to these contracts and agreements were passed with majority votes, and the meeting concluded with no public comments and adjournment.
