Title
Masonry & Coping Sill Repair & Replacement Bid Award
History
The architectural firm of Robert Juris and Associates performed a full review of the complex buildings and determined which areas of brickwork are in need of repair and where the copings and sills need repair or replacement. The analysis took some time, but the full scope of work was well defined and was used to determine what was to be included in the bid document. Six (6) bids for the Masonry & Coping/Sill Repair and Replacement at the Village Complex were received on October 15, 2012 at 11:00 AM and the low bidder was ZM Group, Inc. of Chicago at a cost of $146,750.00.
According to the Illinois Department of Labor there is a case pending regarding the ZM Group at the Attorney General's office. The case was brought in 2010 and has not been resolved yet. The firm has not been banned from State contracts. References provided by this firm were checked and were very positive.
In order to accomplish this work before the winter season, this agenda item is being considered by the Parks & Recreation Committee and the Village Board of Trustees on the same night.
Financial Impact
$200,000.00 was budgeted in the Building Maintenance account 010-1700-443100.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the bid from ZM Group, Inc. at a cost not to exceed$146,750.00 for the Masonry & Coping/Sill repair & replacement on the Village Complex.
