7.20.2026 - Village of Orland Park - Special Meeting

The Village of Orland Park held a special meeting on July 20, 2026, to conduct a public hearing regarding the appeal of Dale Incorporated's three-year suspension from eligibility to receive any purchase orders, contracts, or agreements with the village. The suspension was imposed due to Dale Inc. submitting a falsified apprenticeship program compliance letter as part of their bid for a 2026 asphalt pavement patching contract. Village officials detailed the investigation that revealed the letter was not issued by the union and that Dale Inc. was not in good standing at the time. During the hearing, Dale Inc. acknowledged a clerical error but denied any intent to falsify documents and requested leniency. After deliberation in executive session, the village board voted to uphold the suspension but reduced it from three years to two years. No financial damage to the village was reported from the incident.
