Title
Sidewalk Installation - Board Approval
History
As part of the Every Bloomin’ Thing annexation, a sidewalk is to be installed along 159th Street in front of the business. As of this time, the sidewalk has not yet been installed. Public Works has now completed all of the requirements necessary to procure a permit from the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT).
Three proposals were obtained to complete this work. Kats & Sons Inc. of Palos Hills, Illinois (our “Sidewalk Gap” contractor), has submitted the lowest qualified proposal of $12,715 for sidewalk installation. This cost includes excavation, removal of sidewalk to the east for grading purposes and new sidewalk installation. Due to a sidewalk gap along 159th Street adjacent to a vacant parcel to the west of 77th Avenue, we will need to have additional sidewalk installed at the same time. The cost of this section will be $7,220.
On July 13, 2009, by a vote of 2-1, the Public Works and Engineering Committee moved to recommend this item to the Board for approval.

Financial Impact
A low interest loan was given to the business owner last year - $8,000 of which is remaining for this sidewalk installation. The remaining funds in the amount of $4,715 will be paid out of the 50/50 Sidewalk Program Account #010-5002-431.43-30. The section to the west will also be paid from this account for a total fiscal year 2008/2009 budget impact of $11,935.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve utilizing Kats & Sons Inc. of Palos Hills, Illinois, for the installation of sidewalk east and west of 77th Avenue for a cost not to exceed $19,935;
And
Approve authorizing the Village Manager to execute the proposal.
