Title/Name/Summary
Orland Park Triangle Improvements - Streets, Parking Lot and Infrastructure - Proposal Approval
History
Summary
As part of both the University of Chicago Medical Center (UCMC) project and the forthcoming public parking deck, the Village is responsible for the design and construction of certain improvements within the Downtown Main Street area.
Specifically, the Village is responsible for the following items:
(1) Jefferson Avenue from 143rd Street to 142nd Street;
(2) “B” Street between Ravinia Avenue and future Jefferson Avenue;
(3) The 207-space surface parking lot in front of the UCMC’s building; and
(4) Associated public infrastructure such as public utilities, streetscape, mass grading and landscaping.
Due to the tight timeline associated with delivering these improvements, combined with logistical challenges onsite, on February 15, 2016, the Village Board approved the use of a Limited Invitation Competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) process. Both Leopardo Construction (the general contractor for the UCMC project) and Walsh Construction II, LLC (the design-build contractor for the Village’s parking deck) responded to the Village’s RFP (#16-014).
The Village received proposals on April 7, 2016. Village staff and our consultants reviewed the submissions and recommends that the proposal from Leopardo Construction be accepted.
Project Specifications:
The RFP included base items, alternatives, unit price bid sheet, and contingencies, which breakdown as follows:
Base Items
UCMC Parking Lot with Landscaping: $1,050,462.71
Jefferson Avenue (all) and B-Street (partial): $1,438,629.68
Total: $2,489,092.39
As part of the contract between UCMC and the Village, the former will contribute $2,200,000 toward the construction of the parking lot and landscaping with any remaining balance to be applied to the parking deck. Based on the proposal numbers, the UCMC commitment will adequately cover these improvements.
