Title
Sidewalk Gap Program Extension - Contract/Proposal
History
The Public Works Department initiated a Sidewalk Gap Program six years ago to fill in areas throughout the Village where sidewalks were missing. This program has been very well received by our residents.
Last year’s contractor, Kats & Sons, Inc. of Palos Hills, Illinois, has notified us that due to the increase in some material and labor costs, they will need to increase their cost by $.20 per square foot - from $4.40 per square foot to $4.60 per square foot. Staff has been very pleased with the work this contractor has done over the last several years. Therefore, Public Works would like to extend the contract/proposal from Kats & Sons, Inc. of Palos Hills, Illinois, for sidewalk installation for a cost not to exceed $4.60 per square foot.
On March 9, 2009, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works and Engineering Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
