Title
2025 Sidewalk Replacement Program
History
In 2022, the Village completed a sidewalk condition assessment of all Village-owned sidewalks. Deficiencies were identified as either low, medium, or high priority based on assessment criteria laid out in the 2021 Sidewalk Condition Assessment RFP 21-065. Over the past two (2) years, this program focused on the severe tripping hazards requiring removal and replacement. Staff identified eight hundred sixty-five (865) remaining locations to eliminate the severe tripping hazards in the Village with this contract using data from this initial assessment. Once the Village identifies a hazard, the repair work needs to be completed as soon as possible to eliminate the hazard. Also, the construction window for 2025 for this number of locations is being reduced daily.
The Village plans to fund the 2025 Sidewalk Replacement Program using Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) funds. Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) requires the Village to pass a resolution each year for the utilization of MFT funds. On January 20, 2025, the Board passed a resolution authorizing the appropriations of funds for this specific program. IDOT-approved guidelines had to be followed in assembling the bid package, along with final IDOT approval and advertisement in the IDOT Bulletin prior to the letting.
ITB 25-021 was opened on April 9, 2025, at which point four (4) contractors had submitted bids. Utilizing the assessment completed in 2022, the bid quantity for locations was noted as forty-six thousand seven hundred sixty-five (46,765) square feet for five-inch (5”) sidewalk and one hundred (100) square feet for eight-inch (8”) high early strength concrete. Contractors bid on a unit price based on the quantity given by Village of type of repair throughout the Village.
