Title

Sidewalk Rehabilitation Program - Addition to Contract

History

Over the last four years, our Sidewalk Gap Program has installed over 8,500 feet of missing sidewalk at various locations throughout the Village.  This program has been very well received by our residents.

 

Now, the Public Works Department would like to expand this work to cover sidewalks that have heaved or sunk due to tree roots, past excavations, utility work, etc.  These sections of sidewalk are too severe to utilize concrete raising and pose a safety concern to pedestrians.  The Public Works Staff has replaced hundreds of squares of the most severe sidewalks.  However, due to the trees in many areas of the Village becoming more mature, heaving sidewalks are more and more prevalent.  Therefore, staff would like to use an independent contractor to perform this work in the areas or subdivisions that are most in need.  In addition, this will allow Public Works Staff to also continue addressing the most severe problems in areas throughout the Village on an individual basis.

 

Kats & Sons Construction Inc. of Palos Hills, Illinois, is currently doing the Sidewalk Gap work for the Village of Orland Park.  They have offered to perform this repair work for the prices outlined in their previous bid submittal.  Therefore, Public Works would like to add an addendum to the current contract with Kats & Sons for concrete repair work.

 

At 6:00 p.m. on June 18, 2007, this item was reviewed by the Public Works and Engineering Committee.

 

Financial Impact

The 2006/2007 Fiscal Year Budget has a Board approved budget line item in the amount of $50,000 for concrete repair work to public sidewalks.

Recommended Action/Motion

I move to approve adding an addendum to the current contract with Kats & Sons Construction Inc. of Palos Hills, Illinois, for concrete replacement throughout the Village of Orland Park for a cost not to exceed $50,000.
