Title
2009 Design/Build Orland Hills Gardens Phase I Watermain Replacement Project - Proposal
History
The Orland Hills Gardens area bordered by 146th Street on the north, 153rd Street on the south, railroad tracks on the west and West Avenue on the east is in need of comprehensive watermain replacement. The area is plagued by numerous nuisance leaks, watermain breaks and water valve failures. To facilitate this work, minimize the impact to residents and provide as comprehensive improvement as possible, the project has been broken into three phases. Each phase is followed up by the Village’s Road Improvement Program to complete the paving of streets in the impacted area.
A Design/Build Request for Proposal (RFP) for Phase I was drafted and advertised in the SouthtownStar Newspaper on Wednesday, September 9, 2009. Phase I of the project is the section between 146th Street and Huntington Court. A pre-proposal meeting was conducted at Public Works on September 17, 2009, with the final proposals due September 30, 2009.
Thirteen responses to the RFP were received for this project. The four lowest proposals were asked to submit additional information to aid in our decision-making process. The low bidder, J. S. Alberico Construction Co., Inc. of Joliet, Illinois, submitted a proposal totaling $805,470.
On October 12, 2009, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works and Engineering Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
