Title
Main Pump Station Terrazzo Floor - Bid Award
History
The Main Pump Station was constructed in 1985 using easy to maintain materials throughout the interior. The main level used white terrazzo as the flooring material, pump bases, baseboard, stairs and landings to the lower level. Over the past twenty-eight years normal wear along with several mechanical upgrades within the space has necessitated a restoration of the floor area. Overall regrinding, polishing and filling of cracks and chips are required to restore the floor to the appearance expected for the facility. This type of work is very specialized with only a limited number of companies capable of completing the task.
On Friday, November 30, 2012, an advertisement for the invitation to bid was published in the SouthtownStar Newspaper. A pre-bid meeting was conducted at the Main Pump Station on Tuesday, December 11, 2012. Sealed bids were opened by the Village Clerk’s Office Thursday, December 20, 2012. Two bids were received for this work: Amici Terrazzo, LLC of Elk Grove Village, Illinois, submitted a price of $32,600 and John Caretti & Co. of Bensenville, Illinois, submitted a price of $51,700.
On January 21, 2013, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works and Engineering Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
