Title

2012 Design/Build Watermain Replacement Project - Proposal

History

The Orland Hills Gardens area bordered by Huntington Court on the north, 153rd Street on the south, railroad tracks on the west and West Avenue on the east and a small section of Old Orland bordered by 143^rd Street on the north, 144^th Place on the south, Beacon Avenue on the west and LaGrange Road on the east are in need of comprehensive watermain replacement.  The areas have been plagued by numerous nuisance leaks, watermain breaks and water valve failures.  Each area is proposed to be followed up by the Village’s Road Improvement Program to complete the paving of streets in the impacted area.

An additional watermain connection along 94^th Avenue is included that will tie a secondary water source to the Seton Place and Midwest Physicians Center area.  This work is being done in advance of the LaGrange Road Corridor Improvement Project which will require watermain relocation of the primary water source. 

A Design/Build Request for Proposal (RFP) was drafted and advertised in the SouthtownStar Newspaper on Thursday, July 19, 2012.  A pre-proposal meeting was conducted at Public Works on Wednesday, July 25, 2012, with the final proposals due August 9, 2012.

Five responses to the RFP were received for this project (Proposal Summary Sheet attached).  A proposal utilizing an alternate method and alternate material was submitted by Western Utility Company but does not conform to the Village standards and codes.  The low acceptable bidder, Austin-Tyler Construction, LLC of Elwood, Illinois, submitted a proposal in the amount of $4,565,000. 

On August 20, 2012, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works and Engineering Committee and referred to the Board for Approval.

Financial Impact

There are sufficient funds within Account #031-6002-47050 (Underground Water Line) to cover the cost of this project.

Recommended Action/Motion

I move to approve accepting the proposal from Austin-Tyler Construction, LLC of Elwood, Illinois, for the 2012 Design/Build Watermain Replacement Project for an amount not to exceed $4,750,000 ($4,565,000 plus $185,000 contingency).
