Title
Marley Creek Boulevard South Pond Storm Sewer Repair - Proposal/Contract
History
As a result of the development of a sinkhole at Marley Creek Park, the asphalt bike path washed away adjacent to the 36” storm sewer discharge pipe from Marley Creek Boulevard South Pond. Upon investigation, it was found that the pond was artificially draining through voids in the ground and stone pipe bedding. To rectify this problem, a concrete dam will be placed in the ground around the pipe. In addition, a spillway will be poured to further protect the pond outlet structure.
Due to the safety concerns of this highly used bike path, Airy’s Inc. of Tinley Park, Illinois, was asked to complete this work in a timely manner. They submitted a proposal totaling $6,990 for this work.
On April 13, 2009, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works and Engineering Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
