Title
Shotcrete Bid - Specialized Concrete Flatwork and Curb & Gutter Repair Program - 2017-2019 Bid Award
History
The Public Works Department has been utilizing the shotcrete concrete repair method for more than 30 years to repair concrete curb and gutter. The shotcrete method can be used with little or no excavation of the surrounding area which reduces or eliminates the need for restorations to the repair site. Thousands of feet of curb repairs have been completed using this method, yielding durable and long lasting repairs.
Utilizing the language from the IDOT special provision for shotcrete curb & gutter repair, a unit price bid specification was drafted and advertised in the Daily Southtown newspaper on Wednesday, May 3, 2017. Bids were requested to provide services for a three (3) year period - Calendar years 2017, 2018 and 2019. Two sealed bid were received and opened by the Village Clerkâs Office on Wednesday May 17, 2017. Robert H. Ward and Associates, Inc. of South Chicago Heights was the low bid vendor at a cost of $33.00 per linear foot for 2017, $34.50 for 2018 and $36.00 for 2019. In addition, Robert H. Ward and Associates has performed shotcrete repairs for the Village for decades with a high level of quality and workmanship.
The 2017 Fiscal Year Capital Improvement Fund has a Board approved line item in the amount of $1,165,000.00 for pavement maintenance. $40,000 has been earmarked within that collective maintenance amount to perform the shotcrete curb and gutter repairs throughout the Village.
On June 5, 2017, this item was reviewed by the Public Works Committee and recommended for approval and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.
