Title/Name/Summary
Monument Sign - 159th St & Harlem Ave - Approval
History
In 2016, the Village adopted a Wayfinding and Branding Plan. Since that time, monument and directional signs throughout the Village have been systematically replaced. The FY2021 Public Works Department budget includes funding for the replacement of Village-wide monument signs.
Public Works staff has identified a monument sign at roughly 7000 W. 159th Street (just west of Harlem Avenue) as the next sign to be replaced. The area where the sign is located is on privately-owned property. Staff met with representatives for the property owner on August 31, 2021, wherein they agreed to enter into a formal agreement for the Village to remove the existing sign, cut down a tree, and construct the new brick monument sign.
During the two (2) weeks that the bid was open for review, nineteen (19) firms downloaded either partial or complete bid packages. ITB 21-051 was opened on September 23, 2021, at which point two (2) companies had submitted bids. One (1) of the proposals did not include signed insurance form but was also not the lowest bidder. Both bid packages, as well as an audit of the bid submittals, are attached for reference. A summary of the bid prices is provided below:
- V3 Construction Group LTD of Woodridge, Illinois - $67,985.00
- Schaefges Brothers Inc. of Wheeling, Illinois - $75,575.00

Funds for this monument are available in the Streets/Right of Way - Maintenance account 054-0000-443300.
