Title
2012 - 2013 Shotcrete Repair Program
History
On July 1, 2011, the Village advertised for unit pricing bids for the 2011 through 2013 concrete repairs utilizing the pneumatic shotcrete repair method. The Public Works Department has been using this repair method since 2008 and have done over one hundred (100) manhole repairs and hundreds of feet of curb restoration. The repairs have passed the test of time. The repair method is minimally invasive and in many instances requires little or no restoration.
One sealed bid was received and opened by the Village Clerk’s Office on Monday, July 18, 2011. Robert H. Ward & Associates, Inc. of South Chicago Heights, Illinois, was the only vendor able to comply with the bid specifications that outlined strict structural guarantees. Ward & Assoc. has been performing these types of repairs for the Village for many years and we have had no problems and have been very pleased with prior repairs and workmanship.
On May 21, 2012, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works and Engineering Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
The Fiscal year 2012 Capital Improvement Budget has a Board Approved line item (054-0000-471250) in the amount of $2,720,000 for infrastructure repairs. There was $100,000 earmarked to perform the necessary shotcrete repair work.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the unit pricing bid from Robert H. Ward & Associates, Inc. of South Chicago Heights, Illinois, in an amount not to exceed the Board approved funds of $100,000 for Fiscal Year 2012 and the Board approved budget amount for Fiscal Year 2013.
