Title
2017 Concrete Slab Raising Bid for Sidewalk Restorations - Increase Scope of Work - Quick Raising Concrete
History
On June 8, 2017, sealed bids were received by the Clerk’s Office for the Concrete Slab Raising for Concrete Sidewalk Restorations (3-Year Contract from 2017 to 2019).
Quick Raising Concrete of Lockport, Illinois was identified as the lowest responsible bidder and awarded the project on July 17, 2017, for an amount not to exceed $20,000. Quick Raising Concrete has been working for Orland Park for several years providing a non-destructive and non-invasive procedure to correct sidewalk squares that have settled or moved causing a resultant trip hazard.
The Contractor began work on this project last month and has successfully raised over 12,500 square feet of concrete walk. This total represents the full 2017 contract amount. With a large number of parkway trees maturing throughout the Village, tree roots growing beneath the sidewalks have contributed to a substantial increase in the demand for this work. A significant number of sidewalk hazards remain and warrant Slab Raising. The Contractor has agreed to increase the scope of the 2017 project utilizing the same $1.60 per square foot unit pricing as the original contract.
Staff is requesting to increase the scope of work with Quick Raising Concrete in the amount of $10,000 to continue additional concrete slab raising of sidewalks at various locations around Orland Park.
On September 5, 2017, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works Committee and recommended for approval and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.

Funds are available for this work in the Road Improvement Program account 054-0000-471250.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve accepting an increase in the scope of work with Quick Raising Concrete of Lockport, Illinois for additional concrete slab raising in an amount not to exceed $10,000.00.
