Title
Pneumatic Curb Repair - Bid Award Extension
History
Public Works initiated the Pneumatic Curb Repair Program six years ago as a means of repairing broken sections of curb instead of absorbing the more expensive costs of replacing entire sections of curbing. This program has worked very well over the years and staff recommends continuing the program this year.
Robert H. Ward & Assoc., Inc. of South Chicago Heights, Illinois, is one of the few companies that does this type of work and has performed satisfactorily over the past five years. Although Ward & Assoc. has held their prices in the past, there is a slight increase per lineal foot from $21.65 to $22.75. Therefore, staff recommends extending the contract with Robert H. Ward & Assoc., Inc. for the 2008/09 Fiscal Year.
On February 9, 2009, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works and Engineering Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
INFORMATION PREVIOUSLY PROVIDED AS PART OF THE FEBRUARY 9, 2009, PUBLIC WORKS AND ENGINEERING COMMITTEE PACKET.
Financial Impact

Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve extending the bid award for Pneumatic Curb Repair to Robert H. Ward & Assoc., Inc. of South Chicago Heights, Illinois, for an amount not to exceed $22.75 per lineal foot and a total cost not to exceed $48,407 for Fiscal Year 2008/09.
