Title
Shotcrete Repairs Addition to Scope of Services - Approval
History
The Village takes a multifaceted approach to repairing concrete. In addition to grinding uneven joints and removing and replacing more irregular concrete, the Village has incorporated a process called Shotcrete into our Road Improvement maintenance program. In 2014, the Village solicited bids and awarded a three year contract for Shotcrete repairs to Ward & Associates, Inc. of Chicago Heights, IL.
For many years, the contractor has satisfactorily repaired thousands of feet of curb and sidewalk in various locations throughout the Village, thereby providing thousands of quality repairs while minimizing the associated restoration work. The current FY16 capital budget includes $40,000 for Shotcrete work on public curbs and sidewalks.
In addition to the planned work on public curbs and sidewalks during the 2016 season, Ward & Associates has agreed to repair sidewalks in poor shape around several Village-owned buildings for the contract price of $28.50 per linear foot. Work is planned on the concrete sidewalks around the Franklin Loebe Center, Recreation Administration Building, Cultural Arts Center, Robert Davidson Center (estimated $ $6,697.50); and the Sportsplex (estimated $285.00) for an estimated total of $6,982.50. Due to the variability of these types of repairs a total of $8,000.00 is requested to cover additional unforeseen repairs.
On April 4, 2016, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
Funding for this additional work is available in accounts 283-4001-443100, 010-1700-443100, and 283-4007-443100.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve additional work for the 2016 Shotcrete Program with Ward & Associates, Inc. Chicago Heights, IL in an amount not to exceed $8,000.00.
