Crystal Tree Subdivision Water Main Replacement and Relining Engineering - Proposal
History
The Crystal Tree Subdivision was developed in phases in the early through mid-1980’s. The water mains were installed using ductile iron pipes, while current standard is ductile iron pipe with a polyvinyl wrap or water main-quality C900 PVC plastic pipe.
In 2013 and 2019, the Village replaced and relined the water mains in the western half of the Crystal Tree Subdivision, due to the deterioration of the water mains in that area. There were numerous breaks and leaks that were very disruptive to the residents of that subdivision. Public Works were repairing those mains weekly.
Over the last forty (40) years of service, the water mains in the eastern section of Crystal Tree have corroded the exterior of the pipe, which has started to cause numerous water main breaks and leaks. Public Works has determined that replacing and/or lining these older ductile iron pipes needs to be done now to curtail the level of numerous breaks and leaks that occurred in the western half of Crystal Tree back in 2013.
Due to the size of the project, the project will be spread over the course of two (2) construction seasons, 2026 and 2027.
Public Works sent a request for proposals (RFP) for project design and construction oversight to the five (5) civil engineering firms from the designated prequalified consultants. Proposals were requested to be broken down over the next two (2) years. Staff received four (4) proposals of the five (5) requested. A summary of the proposals is below.
Christopher B. Burke Engineering of Rosemont, Illinois - $263,070.00
V3 Companies of Woodridge, Illinois - $264,987.00
Baxter & Woodman of Mokena, Illinois - $305,000.00
Thomas Engineering Group of Aurora, Illinois - $368,972.23
Engineering for the project will begin in 2025 for the 2026 construction season. Oversight of the project will be done in the 2026 and 2027 construction season.
