Title
Centennial Park Aquatic Center (CPAC) Railing Replacement (Reissue) - ITB 19-028 Award
History
On October 9, 2019, the Village of Orland Park issued Invitation to Bid (ITB) 19-024 for the replacement of the staircase railings leading up to the zero-depth pool waterslide at the Centennial Park Aquatic Center (CPAC).
On the ITB closing date, October 24, 2019, only one (1) bid had been submitted. Staff requested approval from the Village Board on November 4, 2019, to reject the original ITB due to a lack of bidders and to re-issue the invitation to bid, which the Board approved.
On November 5, 2019, this project was reissued as ITB 19-028. In an effort to publicize the ITB to a wider audience, Parks staff reached out to contractors directly and Bid Net categories were expanded. In total, 291 contractors were notified of the ITB, four (4) downloaded the bid documents and one (1) bid was submitted by the November 19, 2019 closing date. The same contractor (Crossroads Construction of Lombard, IL) as the original ITB provided the sole submittal.
The ITB required bidders to provide four (4) bid alternatives based on materials and paint finishes outlined in the original bid specifications. Crossroad Construction’s submittal included an additional bid alternative for powder coated stainless steel. This option was the lowest cost of the five (5) proposed alternatives. A bid tabulation for Crossroads Construction is provided below:
Bid Tabulation - Crossroads Construction
Alternative 1 Galvanized Steel Paint 1 - $192,000
Alternative 2 Galvanized Steel Paint 2 - $192,000
Alternative 3 Stainless Steel Paint 1 - $178,400
Alternative 4 Stainless Steel Paint 2 - $178,400
Alternative Option Powder Coated Stainless Steel - $173,400
Specifications (Exhibit D - Special Provisions) in the ITB state that, “alternate paint systems must be approved by the Village.” As such, Parks staff consulted with CBBEL, who completed the bid specification for this project on behalf of the Village, regarding the viability of powder coating stainless steel. CBBEL concluded that powder coating was an equally viable option as Paint Systems 1 and 2. Accordingly, Parks is requesting approval to award ITB 19-028 to Crossroads Construction of Lombard, IL based on Alternative Option - Powder Coated Stainless Steel for $173,400.
A 5% contingency of $8,670 is requested to address change orders made necessary by circumstances not reasonably foreseeable at the time the contract was signed, are germane to the Contract as originally signed and are in the best interests of the Village
Financial Impact
Funds for this project are budgeted and available in Centennial Pool account #283-4005-443150.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve awarding ITB 19-028 Centennial Park Aquatic Center (CPAC) Railing Replacement in an amount not to exceed $182,070.00 to Crossroads Construction of Lombard, IL.
