Title
13841 Southwest Highway 36" Storm Pipe Replacement
History
Public Works Department was notified of a sinkhole in the parkway at 13841 Southwest Highway. Upon investigation by staff, it was found that the 36" corrugated metal pipe had deteriorated and collapsed causing the sinkhole and a significant void to form under the surface of the ground. Staff was able to barricade off the area for safety purposes. The site has continued to settle and the sinkhole has continued to increase in size. As a result, a permanent repair will need to be made before winter 2016.
Staff has received three proposals to repair the site including the replacement of the deteriorated 36" corrugated metal pipe with high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe. The lowest qualified proposal was received from Airy’s, Inc. of Tinley Park, Illinois, for $10,737.00. Two additional proposals that were received were from Hasse Construction of Calumet City, Illinois, for a cost of $19,510.00 and the other from Calumet City Plumbing of Calumet City, Illinois for a cost of $12,895.00.
Based upon the quotes received, staff recommends accepting the proposal Airy’s, Inc. to perform the necessary repairs. Public Works staff will provide hauling, disposal of construction debris, backfill material and site restoration to keep Village costs as low as possible. A contract is in place between the Village and Airy’s, Inc. to perform this type of work on an emergency basis.
On November 7, 2016, this item was reviewed by the Public Works Committee and recommended for approval and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.
