Title
Sanitary Sewer Emergency Repair for Westwood Drive - Proposal
History
On November 4, 2013, the contractor building a new home at 14620 Westwood Drive Orland Park, Illinois, identified a sewer backup on the existing sanitary service for the property. Per Village of Orland Park policy, the contractor exposed the service at the property line and identified a severe back pitch in the pipe. Since the Village of Orland Park sold the lot to the contractor as a fully improved lot, the Village is responsible for the repair. The completion of the sanitary service needed to proceed first before any additional work could move forward with the contractor. Village staff evaluated the pipe and determined that approximately thirty-five (35) feet of service line approximately twelve (12) feet deep would need to be replaced. This project impacted the right of way and extended fifteen (15) feet into the street.
Due to its location and depth, Airy’s, Inc. of Tinley Park, Illinois, was contacted to complete the repair. The work was completed for a total cost of $5,748. A contract is in place between the Village and Airy’s, Inc. to perform this type of work on an emergency basis.
On December 2, 2013, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
Sufficient funds are available within Line Item #031-6003-443800 (Sewer Line Repair and Replacements) to cover the cost of this work.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve payment to Airy’s, Inc. of Tinley Park, Illinois, for the November 12, 2013, sanitary service repair at 14620 Westwood Drive in an amount not to exceed $5,748.
