Title
Main Street Area Roadwork - Design Build Contract to complete Ravinia Ave North Extension and Main Street
History
The Board of Trustees approved a Phase II Professional Engineering contract with SpaceCo, in the amount of $203,303 in August of 2011 to finalize engineering work for the Ravinia Avenue north extension from 143rd Street to Crescent Park Circle. A portion of this amount is included in the McHugh scope, thereby reducing a portion of the engineering fees.
During the past few months, as SpaceCo and Village Staff worked together to finalize the scope of work needed to complete this project, it became clear that a design/build contract for the project was the best path to pursue - particularly given the coordination needed between the 143rd Street Improvement project, construction of the Ninety 7 Fifty on the Park project and this Village project.
Staff requested proposals from Paschen, McShane and McHugh for design build services and further refined proposals with Paschen and McHugh. The project includes the demolition of the west wing of the Orland Plaza shopping center and the former Orland Video building, the construction of the Ravinia Avenue North extension, utility relocations that includes the relocation of a large storm sewer currently located under 143rd Street, and all decorative streetscape for both Ravinia Avenue and Main Street.
Of the three proposals received, McHugh Construction was the lowest at $1,699,831. McShane’s proposal was $2,147,140 and Paschen’s proposal was $1,857,238. Additionally, McHugh has been working closely with Flaherty and Collins to finalize a contract for the construction of the Ninety 7 Fifty on the Park project. The efficiencies of having one contractor do both projects will result in better coordination between the two projects, thus resulting in possible cost and time savings.
The proposal from McHugh at $1,699,831 is $447,269 less than what was budgeted in the Village’s Capital Improvement Pla...
