Title
Centennial Park Boardwalk Demolition, Construction - Contract Award
History
The purpose of this project is to demolish, remove, and dispose of the pedestrian boardwalk at Centennial Park and provide restoration to the boardwalk area. The substructure along the walkway is in disrepair due to heaving of the foundations, which creates a safety concern because the deck system is unstable. On April 14, 2026, ITB #26-032 - Centennial Boardwalk Demolition was issued to solicit bids from qualified construction firms to demolish and remove approximately seven hundred (700) feet of pedestrian boardwalk, foundations, and an entire gazebo, as well as landscaping and restoration.
On May 12, 2026, two (2) construction firms submitted bids, as shown below:
1. Baxter & Woodman Natural Resources LLC (BWNR) - $150,650.00
2. V3 Construction Group, Ltd. - $183,027.00
This matter was first presented at the Board meeting on 7/20/2026; it was tabled to allow staff additional time to investigate whether BWNR could comply with the Village’s RBO requirements. Prior to the Village Board meeting on July 20, 2026, a concern was raised about BWNR’s ability to meet the Village's Responsible Bidder Ordinance (RBO) requirements. The agenda item was tabled at the July 20 meeting, for staff and legal to do additional research into the concern.
Because BWNR did not provide the requested information in a timely manner and has not submitted a complete response, the Village has determined that BWNR has not demonstrated compliance with the Village's procurement requirements. Accordingly, the Village has determined that BWNR's bid is not responsive and will proceed with awarding the contract to the next lowest responsible and responsive bidder.
The Engineering Department recommends awarding the contract to V3 Construction Group, Ltd. for a total amount not to exceed $183,027.00. Staff has verified that V3 Construction Group, Ltd. meets the Village's Responsible Bidder Ordinance (RBO) requirements.
Financial Impact
This project is being funded through the FY2026 Engineering Capital Improvement Project Budget.
