Title
ITB 25-063 - 143rd Street Brick Paver Leveling - Bid Award
History
On October 7, 2025, the Village issued Invitation to Bid (ITB) 25-063 “143rd Street Brick Paver Leveling,” with work limits along both sides of 143rd Street between LaGrange Road and Beacon Avenue.
The project will consist of leveling existing pavers at approximately sixty-two (62) locations. The degree of leveling at each location varies, which is why a mandatory meeting was required to walk the project and examine each location. Over the course of the past few years, pavers have started to come loose, settle, and create tripping hazards. To date, the Streets Department has responded to these emergency hazards and filled the voids with sand and stone. A permanent solution is now needed, which is beyond the capabilities of the Public Works Department, due to the extensive amount of work and expertise involved.
During the twelve (12) days that the bid was open for review, BidNet data indicates that twenty (20) vendors downloaded bid documents. On October 24, 2025, at 11:00am, two (2) sealed bids were opened by the Clerk’s Office. The attached Bid Compliance Summary shows details of the bids for reference, and a summary of requested unit pricing is below:
Semmer Landscape LLC of Country Club Hills - $21.45 sq. ft.
Christy Webber & Company of Chicago, IL - $48.89 sq. ft.
Semmer Landscape LLC of Country Club Hills, Illinois is identified as the lowest responsible bidder for the 143rd Street Brick Paver Leveling project, with a submitted unit price of $21.45 per sq. ft.
