Title
Concrete Flatwork SPWDA Joint Bid - Scope of work increase
History
The village, through the Public Works Director, is a member of the Suburban Public Works Directors Association (SPWDA). The SPDWA via the Village of Homewood took the lead on establishing a joint community bid for various concrete flatwork repairs for their participating communities. Four (4) contractors submitted bids for consideration (bid tab attached). A review of the bid submittals identified Strada Construction Company of Addison, Illinois as the low bidder for the second consecutive year.
On April 1, 2019, the Village Board approved awarding a contract to Strada Construction for an amount not to exceed $60,000 to remove and replace concrete flatwork at various locations throughout Orland Park. The contractor began this work in late April and the results have been positive. The current work is being funded using FY19 water, storm water, and street accounts.
Following the award of this contract, staff became aware of failing concrete flatwork at the 153rd Street Metra station. The concrete walking area around the train station has deteriorated and warrants replacement. The repair of this flatwork is estimated to encompass approximately 1900 square feet. Strada Construction has agreed to complete this work at the same unit price as the current contracted amount of $7.75 per square foot. The cost of this repair is estimated to be approximately $15,000.
In consideration of the favorable unit pricing and positive work experienced through the current contract with Strada Construction, it is staff’s recommendation to increase the scope of the current contract with Strada Construction of Addison, Illinois in the amount of $15,000. The revised total contract amount shall not exceed $75,000 ($60,000 for the original contracted amount plus $15,000 for the additional work at the 153rd Street Metra station).
