The Beecher Public Library District Board of Trustees convened for a special meeting on Thursday, February 12, 2026, to publicly open bids for the library’s Main Front Entrance Project.
Despite the call for proposals, the District received only one sealed bid before the deadline. Director Grosso, who certified that the Invitation to Bid was properly advertised in accordance with state regulations, opened the solitary submission during the meeting.
The bid was submitted by Preferred Window and Door, based in Lynwood, Illinois. The total cost proposed for the entrance renovation is $64,219.53.
Because this was a bid opening session rather than a decision-making meeting, no vote was taken to accept the contract immediately. Director Grosso stated that a detailed review will be conducted to ensure the bid meets all compliance, qualification, and cost requirements.
The Director is scheduled to present a recommendation regarding the bid to the Board of Trustees at the upcoming regular monthly meeting on Tuesday, February 17, 2026, where a possible vote on the contract will take place.
