Title
Crosswalk Brick Pavers - 143rd Street and LaGrange Road Intersection - Purchase and Maintenance
History
As part of the 143rd Street and LaGrange Road Intersection Improvement Project, brick paver crosswalks were installed at several intersections. The installation of brick paver crosswalks requires mandatory annual inspection and repair by the Village.
The Public Works Department requested and received pricing for both the supply of bricks and the cost for a contractor to perform the needed repair work.
The cost of the paver bricks and granular material used to secure the pavers will be $5,801.58. Bricks will be purchased from the original supplier (Lake Street Landscape Supply, LLC of Chicago Illinois). This will help to ensure consistency in the color and size of the pavers. This purchase is being made as a bulk purchase to take advantage of volume cost breaks and shipping expenses. We are optimistic that this purchase of materials (paver bricks) should be sufficient to get us through two to three seasons of repairs without the need to restock more bricks.
Heartland Green Industries, LLC of Homer Glen, Illinois, has submitted a proposal in the amount of $4,995.00 for the labor and equipment costs for this year’s repair work on all crosswalks outlined within the project. To manage cost, debris generated (sand and dirt) from the work will be disposed of by the Village.
On May 20, 2013, this item was reviewed by the Public Works and Engineering Committee, recommended for approval and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.
Financial Impact
The Fiscal Year 2013 Budget has a Board Approved line item (010-5002-443300) in the amount of $77,000.00 in the Streets/Right of Way category for median, traffic circle and right-of-way maintenance. A portion of those funds will be transferred to a supply Account 010-5002-461990 for the purchase of the brick paver material.
