Title
Blizzard 2011 - Heavy Equipment Operations - Board Approval
History
During the Blizzard of 2011, twelve (12) pieces of heavy equipment (loaders) were utilized to assist Village Public Works Staff with the daunting effort to open Village streets in a timely manner. Crowley-Sheppard Asphalt, Inc. of Chicago Ridge, Illinois, J S Alberico Construction Co, Inc of Joliet, Illinois and Airy’s, Inc. of Tinley Park, Illinois, answered the call. Crowley-Sheppard and Alberico each provided one (1) loader. Airy’s provided ten (10) loaders and multiple operators to keep their equipment operational for up to twenty-eight (28) hours straight in some instances.
The success of the snowfighting effort was due in no small part to the work accomplished by these contractors, most notably Airy’s, Inc. Working in coordination with Village Staff almost 180 man hours were logged by these contractors during the thirty (30) hour cleanup effort.
The cost of this work is $2,416.00 for Alberico, $3,802.50 for Crowley-Sheppard and $32,544.99 for Airy’s.
