GEPD Takes Action to Resolve Roof Issues at Ackerman

The Glen Ellyn Board of Commissioners held a special meeting on June 1 to discuss the ongoing problems with the leaky roof at the Ackerman Sports and Fitness Center. Below is the text of the press release that was issued today:

The Glen Ellyn Park District Board of Commissioners has taken special action to resolve roof issues at the Ackerman Sports & Fitness Center at a special meeting Wednesday, June 1. This includes a motion directing staff to take the necessary steps to terminate the contracts of T.A. Bowman Constructors LLC, Professional Building Services and Ollmann Ernest Architects.

The board cited breach of contract as the reason for its action. Board members have directed staff to initiate a contract with Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates, Inc. to provide supplemental design and bid documents for roof remediation.

It is the Board’s hope that these actions will enable the park district to resolve the ongoing roof leak issues at the Ackerman Sports & Fitness Center. The Glen Ellyn Park District appreciates the patience of the numerous facility participants and its constituents during this process.
