Title
Centennial Park West Facility Improvement Project - Revised
History
On April 21, 2025, the Village Board of Trustees authorized the approval and execution of a contract with Dav-Com Electric, Inc. (“Dav-Com”) for the Centennial Park West Facility Improvement Project (see Board Report 2025-0333). The scope of work and associated cost of the original contract included the following components:
CPW Facility Improvement Project Proposal Summary
CPW Video Wall: $671,500.00
West Gate Modification for Ambulance/Concrete and Fence: $96,500.00
Security Gates Power for Metal Detector/Tents: $105,000.00
Two Water Fountains for bottles and drinking: $49,800.00
Proposal Total: $922,800.00
Contingency: $50,000.00
Total Contract Price: $972,800.00
Before this contract was executed, it was determined that the CPW video wall screens and associated work of steel structure, power, AV, conduit, painting, and vertical lifting equipment should not be included in the scope of work. Rental video screens will be obtained to meet rider requirements for concerts by Recreation and Parks. It was also determined that bond costs, which should have been factored into the original proposal price, had in fact not been included. Finally, as Dav-Com paid upfront for a structural engineering study to verify the process and materials needed to secure the video walls at CPW, it was decided that these fees should be reimbursed to Dav-Com despite the video walls being removed from the scope of work. Public Works subsequently requested a revised proposal from Dav-Com to reflect these modifications for life safety items for the site. A summary of the revised proposal is provided below:
Revised CPW Facility Improvement Project Proposal Summary
West Gate Modification for Ambulance/Concrete and Fence: $96,500.00
Security Gates Power for Metal Detector/Tents: $105,000.00

Engineering Fees and Bonds: $26,000.00
Proposal Price: $277,300.00
Contingency: $25,0000.00
Total Contract Price: $302,300.00
The proposal price provided was reviewed by Omina Affiliated Compliance Management against industry standard pricing of RS Means. This quality assurance ensures that pricing is fair and reasonable to other competitor’s pricing.
Based on the provided co-op proposal price and company qualifications, staff recommends approving the proposals from Dav-Com for a total of $277,300.00. A contingency of $25,000.00 is requested to address change orders made necessary by circumstances not reasonably foreseeable at the time the proposals are signed, for a total contract price not to exceed $302,300.00.
This agenda item is being considered by the Committee of the Whole and the Village Board of Trustees on the same night.
