Elevated Tank No. 7 Rehabilitation Engineering Oversight
History
On June 7, 2021, the Village Board approved the rehabilitation of Elevated Tank No. 7, with work anticipated to begin in the second week of September, 2021. Contracted for Phase 1 and 2 engineering services, Strand Associates of Joliet, Illinois provided a thorough evaluation of the tank, noting deficiencies and recommendations for improving the rehabilitation of the elevated tank.
Staff requested proposals for engineering design and oversight services from the “Recommended Prequalified Consultants” list developed by the Village's Engineering Department through its RFP process.

Christopher B. Burke Engineering of Rosemont, Illinois submitted a more robust proposal, including a permanent onsite engineer throughout the entire project, at a cost of $44,200.00.
Staff recommends the proposal from Christopher B. Burke Engineering of Rosemont, Illinois, be accepted for a price not to exceed $44,200.00.
