Title
Additional Funding for 2017 Neighborhood Road Improvement Program for the Maintenance and Reconstruction of Various Roadways and Streets
History
The 2017 Road Improvement Program includes the maintenance and reconstruction of various roadways/streets throughout the Village. This project is bid yearly based in part on recommendations from the Village’s pavement management consultant, Applied Research Associates (ARA), of Champaign, Illinois.
On April 17, 2017, the Village Board awarded Austin Tyler Construction of Elwood, Illinois, a contract for the 2017 Neighborhood Road Program in an amount not to exceed $3,011,611.22. The contract is well below staff’s estimate of $3.49 million for the anticipated 2017 Neighborhood Road Improvement Program. Funding is available to add additional areas to the program to perform needed pavement reconstruction, pavement patching and infrastructure repairs throughout the Village. Therefore, staff is requesting that Austin Tyler Construction be awarded an additional $400,000 to the initial Board approved contract award of $3,011,611.22 for a 2017 program total of $3,411,611.22.
This additional funding will also allow the Village to take advantage of this year’s unit pricing costs. The result will be the Village’s ability to address additional road repairs identified through the construction season.
On June 5, 2017, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works Committee and recommended for approval and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.
Financial Impact
Funds for the 2017 Neighborhood Road Program are available in capital account 054-0000-471250.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve accepting an addendum to the 2017 Road Improvement Program contract with Austin Tyler of Elwood, Illinois in the amount of $400,000 for additional program work for a revised total contract amount not to exceed $3,411,611.22.
