Title
Butterfield Pond Outlet Pipe Replacement - Proposal
History
The Butterfield Pond located in the Orland on the Green Unit 1 subdivision was constructed in the mid-1970’s. Part of this construction involved the installation of a 30” corrugated metal pipe as the outlet of the pond (see attached aerial photo for reference). Over the past 40 years, this pipe has deteriorated considerably. The ground above the pipe has sink holes and cannot function as designed, restricting flow, holding more water back in the detention pond and upstream in the tributary stream from Parkview Estates, Villa West, Evergreen View and other subdivision areas. This outlet pipe needs to be replaced in order to maintain the necessary detention and allow the upstream areas to pass through the pond without impacting the residents.
Staff contacted several construction firms to obtain proposals for the replacement of the deteriorated corrugated metal outlet pipe with new 30” reinforced concrete pipe, along with restoration. From the four firms contacted, proposals were received from Airy's Inc. of Tinley Park ($21,545), Hasse Construction Company, Inc. of Calumet City ($50,006) and Construction by Camco, Inc. of Joliet ($107,000). No proposal was received from Austin Tyler Construction of Elwood.
After reviewing the proposals, staff determined that Airy’s Inc. of Tinley Park would provide a thorough and professional service for the lowest cost. Staff recommends approving the proposal from Airy’s Inc. of Tinley Park in an amount not to exceed $25,000 ($21,545 + $3,455 contingency).
On October 3, 2016, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
