Title
183rd Street and Wolf Road Intersection Watermain Improvement - Bid Award
History
The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) is moving forward with traffic signal installation and improvements at the intersection of 183rd Street and Wolf Road. The Village’s water system currently has gaps at the intersection resulting in sections of “dead-end” watermain. In July 2010, the Village Board approved McDonough Associates Inc. (MAI) of Chicago, Illinois, to perform design engineering for this work. IDOT has informed the Village that the watermain work must be completed by mid-July as a precursor to their intersection improvement.
A request for bids for the watermain improvement was advertised in the SouthtownStar Newspaper on Wednesday, May 11, 2011. Sealed bids were opened by the Village Clerk’s Office on Wednesday, May 25, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. with ten (10) contractors submitting bids (Bid Summary Sheet attached). After review by staff and MAI (recommendation attached), Airy’s, Inc. of Tinley Park, Illinois, was found to be low with a bid of $181,090.
To assist with the project oversight, MAI was asked to submit a cost for limited construction services. While Village Staff will perform daily inspections, MAI will review submittals, pay requests, layout and as-built construction documents. Their cost for these services totals $2,666.
On June 6, 2011, at 6:00 p.m. this item went to the Public Works and Engineering Committee for review prior to being sent at 7:00 p.m. to the Board of Trustees for approval.
Financial Impact
Sufficient funds for this work are included in the 2011 Capital Budget - Account 031-6002-433.70-50 (Underground Water/Sewer Lines). $489,340 for this project was rolled over from the previous fiscal year.
