Title
George Brown Commons Garage Restoration - Proposal
History
George Brown Commons at 14651 West Avenue is used by various veteran associations for functions. The associations also utilize the adjacent storage garage located on the property to store supplies and props for their meetings and other functions. Over many years, storm water has ponded along the north wall of the garage and caused mold and damage to the wood inside the external walls.
To remediate the drainage problem, the Utility Division of the Public Works Department installed a drain tile system around the garage. However, a contractor specializing in mold remediation is needed to perform the necessary restoration work. Staff contacted Cove Remediation, LLC, of Alsip, Illinois for a proposal to safely remediate the situation.
The veteran associations still have supplies and other items stored in the garage that need removal and relocation to allow the work to be performed. Due to health and safety concerns staff requested Cove Remediation to provide a proposal to include removal and relocation of all the stored items into a temporary storage pod provided by the Village, build a support wall to reinforce the ceiling and remove and replace two feet of rotted outside wall and sill plate. The proposal from Cove Remediation, LLC, is in the amount of $6,900.00.
On August 7, 2017, this item was reviewed by the Public Works Committee and recommended for approval and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.
Financial Impact
Funding for this work is available in account 010-1700-443100.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the proposal from Cove Remediation, LLC of Alsip, Illinois for George Brown Commons Garage Restoration for a not-to-exceed amount of $6,900.00.
