Title
Emergency Storm Sewer Repair - Proposal
History
In mid-September, Public Works was notified of a sink hole in the street next to a manhole at the intersection of Poplar Road and Golfview Drive in the Fairway Subdivision. Upon investigation by staff, it was found that the manhole structure and corrugated metal piping had deteriorated and was causing the sinkhole and a significant void to form under the pavement. Staff was able to temporarily stabilize the site for traffic. The site has continued to settle and lose dirt and stone under the road. A permanent repair will need to be made before winter.
Staff has received three proposals to repair the site including the replacement of the deteriorated manhole structure and the rusted through corrugated metal pipe. The lowest qualified proposal was received from Airy’s, Inc. of Tinley Park, Illinois, for $9,878. Two additional proposals were received - one from Calumet City Plumbing of Calumet City, Illinois, for a cost of $12,735 and the other from Sunset Sewer & Water, Inc. of Beecher, Illinois, for a cost of $11,050. Based upon the proposals received and the time sensitive nature of the repair needed, staff contacted Airy’s, Inc. to begin the work so the repairs can be accomplished as quickly as possible. Public Works Staff will provide hauling, disposal of construction debris, backfill material and site restoration to keep costs as low as possible. A contract is in place between the Village and Airy’s, Inc. to perform this type of work on an emergency basis.
On November 21, 2011, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works and Engineering Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
