Title
Mitchell’s Flowers Parking Lot Restoration - Proposal
History
As part of the 143rd Street and LaGrange Road widening project, driveway restorations are required. Typically these restorations are limited to the small transition from the new sidewalk to the existing pavement. At Mitchell’s Flowers (14309 Beacon Avenue), the parking lot was significantly impacted due to the construction of the adjacent retaining wall.
Due to an oversight, a pay item was not included for this specific work within the 143rd Street and LaGrange Road Improvement contract with F.H. Paschen. A proposal was requested from F.H. Paschen and Crowley-Sheppard (the Village’s 2011 Road Improvement Program contractor) to complete this work.
This additional work was requested as a result of numerous impacts caused to the business and parking lot. Due to its location, construction trucks and equipment frequently used the lot for parking and staging of equipment.
After review of both proposals, it was determined that the quote from F.H. Paschen ($18,166.47) for the work at Mitchell’s Flowers was the most cost effective. All other sites will be completed by F.H. Paschen as part of the overall construction project.
Due to the need to accomplish this work under acceptable weather conditions, F.H. Paschen was told to complete the work in a timely manner and in conjunction with the other paving being completed as part of the reconstruction project.
On November 21, 2011, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works and Engineering Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
