Title
Retaining Wall Repair at 144th Street & 1st. Avenue - Updated Quote
History
The retaining wall located on the south side of the viaduct at 144th street and 1st. Ave. is deteriorating and in danger of falling down. Settling of the base and/or ground beneath the wall has caused the issue.
The wall is adjacent to the sidewalk and could cause serious injury if failure occurs. The village had the wall installed approximately 12-15 years ago. Staff reached out to three vendors requesting proposals for the repair work.
The vendor will remove the wall, install a new base, and install the existing material in the proper manner.
At the September 5, 2017 Board of Trustees meeting, A Touch of Green was approved. Staff discovered that the vendor did not submit a proposal utilizing the prevailing wage. The additional cost is $2,880.00 for a total cost of $9,280.00. This is still the lowest proposal.
On October 16, 2017, this item was reviewed by the Parks & Recreation Committee, recommended for approval, and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.
Financial Impact
Funds for the repair work will come from account 026-000-443500.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the updated quote from A Touch of Green in the amount of $9,280.00 for the repair of the Viaduct retaining wall on the south side of 144th street and 1st. Avenue.
