Title
2014-2016 Shotcrete Curb and Gutter Repair Program - Bid Award
History
The Public Works Department has been utilizing the shotcrete concrete repair method for more than 30 years to repair concrete curb and gutter. The shotcrete method can be used with little or no excavation of the surrounding area which reduces or eliminates the need for restorations to the repair site. Thousands of feet of curb repairs have been completed using this method, yielding durable and long lasting repairs.
Utilizing the language from the IDOT special provision for shotcrete curb & gutter repair, a bid specification was drafted and advertised in the SouthtownStar Newspaper on Wednesday, April 2, 2014. Bids were requested to provide services for a three (3) year period - Calendar years 2014, 2015 and 2016. One (1) sealed bid was received and opened by the Village Clerk’s Office on Wednesday April 16, 2014. Robert H. Ward & Assoc., Inc. of South Chicago Heights, Illinois, was the only responding vendor at a cost of $28.50 per linear foot for each of the three years. In addition, Ward & Associates have performed shotcrete repairs for the Village for several years with a high level of quality and workmanship.
The 2014 Fiscal Year Capital Improvement Fund has a Board approved Line Item in the amount of $2,720,000 for infrastructure repairs. $80,000 has been earmarked and will be needed to perform the shotcrete curb repairs throughout the Village.
On May 5, 2014, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
There is sufficient funding in account 054-0000-471250 to cover costs for the 2014 budget year.
Recommended Action/Motion

Ward & Associates, Inc. of South Chicago Heights, Illinois for shotcrete curb and gutter repair at a cost of $28.50 per linear foot for an amount not to exceed $80,000 for fiscal year 2014; and an amount not to exceed Board approved funding for fiscal years 2015 and 2016.
