CLC to be Rebid Southlake Campus Parking Lot Project After Contractor Indictment

The College of Lake County plans to seek new bids for a paving project at its Southlake Campus in Vernon Hills after learning the company that was awarded the contract last fall is under indictment for fraud, reported the Vernon Hills Review.

A project to sealcoat parking lots at the Southlake Campus was schedule to begin at the end of May but was delayed when the Lake County News-Sun uncovered information that top bidder Alan Harris, president of North Suburban Asphalt, was alleged to have defrauded some north suburban towns of more than $400,000.

In May, North Suburban Asphalt withdrew its bid for a project at Northwest Suburban High School District 214 in light of the negative publicity, reported the Daily Herald.
