Title
2025 Sidewalk Replacement Program Part 2 (ITB 25-039)
History
The Village completed a sidewalk condition assessment of all Village-owned sidewalks in 2022. Deficiencies were identified as either low, medium, or high priority based on assessment criteria laid out in the 2021 Sidewalk Condition Assessment via RFP 21-065. Over the past two (2) years, this program focused on the severe tripping hazards requiring removal and replacement. Staff identified eight hundred sixty-five (865) remaining locations to eliminate the severe tripping hazards in the Village with this contract using data from this initial assessment. Once the Village identifies a hazard, the repair work needs to be completed as soon as possible to eliminate the hazard. ITB 25-021 was awarded to Strada Construction Co. on May 19, 2025, to address three hundred sixty-five (365) of the eight hundred sixty-five (865) severe tripping hazards.
To address the remaining tripping hazards, the Village plans to fund the 2025 Sidewalk Replacement Program Part 2 by using Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) funds. The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) requires the Village to pass a resolution each year for the utilization of MFT funds. On January 20, 2025, the Board passed a resolution authorizing the appropriations of funds for this specific program. IDOT-approved guidelines had to be followed in assembling the bid package, along with final IDOT approval and advertisement in the IDOT Bulletin prior to the letting.
ITB 25-039 was opened on June 27, 2025, at which point four (4) contractors had submitted bids. The bid quantity of locations for the 2025 Sidewalk Replacement Program Part 2 was noted as forty-nine thousand eight hundred forty-four (49,844) square feet for five-inch (5”) sidewalk and four hundred (400) square feet for eight-inch (8”) high early strength concrete. Contractors bid on a unit price based on the quantity given by Village of type of repair throughout the Village. A summary of the bid prices is provided below:
Strada Construction Co. of Addison, Illinois - $551,679.12
J&J Newell Concrete Contractors of Crete, Illinois - $613,096.80
Davis Concrete Construction Co. of Monee, Illinois - $677,689.12
Gallagher Asphalt Co. of Thornton, Illinois - $712,308.20
Strada Construction Co. of Addison, Illinois, was identified as the lowest bidder. The unit price submitted by Strada Construction Co. for sidewalk removal and replacement is comparable to larger volume pricing staff has traditionally received for similar work. Strada has previously performed work in the Village of Orland Park and has performed a multi-Village contract for concrete work through the Homewood joint bid for the past five (5) years. They were awarded the contract again in FY2025 for Homewood, Alsip, and South Holland concrete work as well as part 1 work in FY2025.
It is Public Works staff’s recommendation to accept the bid from Strada Construction Co. of Addison, Illinois.
A contingency of $50,000.00 is requested for any unforeseen issues, for a total not-to-exceed cost of $601,679.12.
This agenda item is being considered by the Committee of the Whole and the Village Board of Trustees on the same night.
