Title
Water Main Extension
History
The LaGrange Road Corridor Improvement Project contains significant water main replacement and extensions. The majority of this work was incorporated into the IDOT plans and will be completed as part of the overall project. Within the LaGrange Road right-of-way (ROW) adjacent to Orland Square Mall, a new water main is being added to improve water flow for fire protection efforts within the area. An existing dead end water main is currently located within an easement on private property just north of the Toy-R-Us building. During the engineering process it was determined that by extending this main 135 feet west to LaGrange Road the dead end would be eliminated and provide an alternate access source or loop for the area further increasing water availability. Because this piece of water main was outside the LaGrange Road ROW, it could not be included in the IDOT project. It was, however, included as part of the IEPA permit process.
As part of the Corridor Improvement, the Village has engaged the services of V3 Companies of Woodridge, Illinois for the construction and construction management of the LaGrange Road Enhancements. Since V3 is already performing these services in the area, it was asked to add the construction of this small segment of water main to their scope of work. V3 solicited proposals from four underground contractors. Two companies submitted proposals (see attached bid summary). The lowest proposal from P&M Water & Sewer for $59,003.00 has been reviewed and determined to be of good value. Oversight of the installation will be performed by V3 through their existing project contract.
On February 2, 2015, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
Funds for this work are included in Water & Sewer Capital Fund, account #031-6002-433-470500
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve to increase the contract with V3 Companies of Woodridge, Illinois for the installation of the Toys-R-Us Water Main in an amount not to exceed $59,300.00
