Title
Sidewalk Construction, Village Center Complex - Proposals
History
Last month, village crews completed a parking lane along the south end of the green space south of the Village Hall. Continuing the enhancements throughout this green space, pedestrian walks have been planned (see attachment). To facilitate the timely construction of these walks, staff has requested proposals from two contractors currently completing concrete work for the Village.
In April of this year, the Village opted to participate in a multi-community joint bid process through the Suburban Public Works Directors Association (SPWDA) for various concrete flatwork repairs. On May 15, 2017, the Village awarded a contract to Davis Concrete Construction of Monee, Illinois for sidewalk removal and replacement at several locations in Orland Park. Staff has requested and received a proposal from Davis Concrete to extend this contract to include the construction of walks at the Village Center Complex. Davis Concrete has submitted a proposal for $5.85 per square foot which is less than the $7.00 per square foot joint bid cost. With reinforcement and detectable warnings, Davis Concrete’s total proposed cost for the Village Center walk is $42,036.50.
On April 17, 2017, the Village awarded the 2017 Neighborhood Road Improvement Project contract to Austin Tyler Construction of Elwood, Illinois. Staff also requested and received a proposal for the construction of Village Center walks from Austin Tyler Construction. Austin Tyler has submitted a proposal for $8.60 per square foot. With detectable warnings, Austin Tyler’s total proposed cost is approximately $57,150.00.
Staff has reviewed both proposals and recommends extending the existing contract with Davis Concrete Construction of Monee, Illinois to include the Village Center walk at a cost of $42,036.50 plus a $2,963.50 contingency for a total not to exceed $45,000.00.
