Title
Oakley Avenue Stormwater Improvements - Bid
History
The Public Works Department previously responded to a flooding call between 14625 and 14635 Oakley Avenue. Staff cleared the blockage in the storm sewer line to alleviate the flooding. Upon investigation, it was found that the 21” CMP (Corrugated Metal Pipe) had deteriorated significantly, thus causing the blockage. Staff reached out to Christopher B. Burke Engineering (CBBEL) for recommendations for replacement. CBBEL recommended replacing the 21” CMP with a 27” PVC storm pipe to handle reoccurring flooding issues on Oakley Avenue.
Public Works published the Oakley Avenue Storm Pipe Replacement request on BidNet Direct on September 13th, 2021, and the ITB closed on September 27th, 2021. Seventeen (17) vendors viewed the documents, five (5) downloaded documents, and four (4) bids were received. A summary of the bid results is below:
-Bolder Contractors of Cary, Illinois - $102,000.00
-Airy’s Inc. of Joliet, Illinois - $139,995.00
-Austin Tyler Construction of Elmwood, Illinois - $144,522.00
-H. Lindon & Sons Sewer and Water, Inc. of Plano, Illinois - $157,772.00
While Bolder Contractors forgot to sign its insurance form, this administrative correction doesn’t deviate from core contract requirements and can be obtained before award. Based upon the bids received and excellent past performance of Bolder Contractors, staff recommends accepting the proposal from Bolder Contractors to perform the necessary stormwater improvements.
