Title/Name/Summary
Grasslands Grading Improvements ITB 21-020 Award
History
On May 23, 2020, significant flooding in the Grasslands Subdivision occurred due to a contribution of existing field conditions to the west, previous weather, and intensity of the storm on that day. The flooding affected properties located on the west side of the Grasslands Subdivision, south of Rainbow Circle and north of Heathrow Circle. This project seeks to improve the existing swales between the homes to better channelize overland storm water flow between the homes. These improvements to the swales will further protect homes from stormwater during future storms.
An Invitation to Bid (ITB) for the Grasslands Grading Improvements (ITB 21-020) was issued on March 31, 2021. Bids were opened on April 21, 2021. The ITB was posted on BidNet and was matched to one hundred forty-four (144) vendors. Information was downloaded by twenty-nine (29) vendors. A total of two (2) bids were submitted for the project by V3 Construction Group, Ltd. and Schwartz Excavating, Inc. The scope of this project includes grading swales between residences along Steeplechase Parkway in the Grasslands subdivision. Additional storm sewer improvements east of the intersection of Steeplechase Parkway and Summercrest Avenue were included in the ITB as Alternate 1. The lowest bidder was Schwartz Excavating, Inc. with a total of $168,696.00, including Alternate 1.
To meet the FY2021 budget for this project, Alternate 1 will be excluded from the contract. Per the itemized prices received in the low bid, staff is recommending to award ITB 21-020, Grasslands Grading Improvements, to Schwartz Excavating, Inc., for an amount not to exceed the amount of $123,565.00. Schwartz Excavating, Inc., is still the lowest bidder without the Alternate 1. Staff is also recommending to set aside $6,435 as contingency and to be used at Village Manager’s authorization.
