Title
Creekside Subdivision - South Drainage Improvements - Bid Award
History
As part of the original flood study conducted by Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd. (CBBEL) of Rosemont, Illinois, the Creekside Subdivision was one of several locations identified as needing improvements to the existing drainage system. Residents within the area just north of 143rd Street on Creek Crossing Drive have experienced extensive street and backyard flooding within this low area during even only moderate rainfalls. The large drainage area, a lack of overland flow routes, and the inability of the existing storm sewer to convey the runoff contribute to the problem.
To implement relief for this problem area, CBBEL has developed engineering plans and bid specifications for the required work. This work will include the replacement of existing storm sewer pipes servicing the area and the establishment of an overland flow route to convey runoff. On August 22, 2013, Village staff, along with CBBEL, met with impacted residents to review and discuss the proposed work.
The legal notice for the Creekside Subdivision - South Drainage Improvement construction project ran in the SouthtownStar Newspaper on Wednesday, September 25, 2013. Five sealed bids were received and opened by the Village Clerk’s Office on Wednesday, October 19, 2013 (bid tab attached). Superior Excavating Company of Channahon, Illinois, was the low bidder with a total cost of $51,471.15.
In addition, construction engineering is being requested from CBBEL. They have submitted a proposal in the amount of $16,500 for this oversight work.
On October 21, 2013, this item was reviewed by the Public Works and Engineering Committee, recommended for approval and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.
