Title

156^th Street and LaGrange Rd. Roadway Fill - Approval

History

As part of the LaGrange Road widening project, a retaining wall is proposed along the property owned by Location Finders International Inc. (LFI) on the southwest corner of 156^th Street and LaGrange Road.  With the goal of eliminating the need to construct this retaining wall, the Village received permission from property owner LFI to fill and grade along the shoulder of the proposed pavement in this area. The material used to complete this work was taken from previously tested and certified spoils from the Village’s 153^rd Street Bulk Material Storage Facility.

The benefit to the Village is two-fold: 1) It reduces cost of haulage and tipping fees; and 2) it allows us to avoid the costs associated with a retaining wall at the LFI site. In order to facilitate this work, staff requested proposals from five (5) local excavation contractors; D Construction of Coal City, IL, Chief Construction Inc. of New Lenox, IL, Redmond Excavating and Construction Services Inc. of Orland Park, IL,  Airy’s Inc. of Tinley Park, IL, and Silvestri Paving Company of Alsip, IL.  Public Works received four proposals ranging in price from $165.00 per load to $197.50 per load.  Chief Construction submitted the lowest proposal price of $165.00 per load. Chief Construction was contracted to complete the work.

The site was staked by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) engineers, and fifty-four (54) loads of spoil were hauled to the site and graded as staked. The project was intended to be completed for under $5,000. However, the project required additional fill to be hauled from the 153^rd Bulk Material Storage Facility increasing the project cost above $5,000 requiring Board approval. Staff recommends paying Chief Construction for work performed for the 156^th Street and LaGrange Road, Roadway Fill project.

On June 2, 2014, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works Committee and referred to the Board for approval.

Financial Impact

The FY 2014 Public Works Budget has a Board Approved line item (010-5002-443500) to cover costs for Bulk Material Storage Facility reclamation activities.

Recommended Action/Motion

I move to approve the payment of $8,910.00 to Chief Construction for reclamation work performed at 156^th Street and LaGrange Road.
