Title/Name/Summary
IL Route 43 (Harlem Avenue) Street Lighting Bid Award
History
An invitation to bid for repairs of the Harlem Avenue street lighting system was hosted on Bidnetdirect.com from February 23, 2021, to March 2, 2021. The bid requested unit pricing to be submitted for twenty-two (22) contract items which included upgrading the street lights to LED. Seven (7) organizations, five (5) local to IL and two (2) out of state, downloaded the bid documents. Two (2) bids were formally submitted to the Village Clerk’s Office and opened on March 2, 2021, at 11:00 a.m. A third bid was dropped off shortly before noon but was not able to be accepted or opened due to its tardiness.
The Village received unit price bids from The Edward Electric Company of Orland Park, IL and John Burns Construction of Orland Park, Illinois. The unit pricing bids by Edward Electric and John Burns are shown in the attached Bid Tab. Edward Electric, the low bidder, has performed various electrical work and repairs for the Village in the past with good results. Based on its bid pricing, it is staff’s recommendation to accept the bid from The Edward Electric Company.
This agenda item is being considered by the Committee of the Whole and the Village Board of Trustees on the same night.
