A resolution authorizing the Director of Purchasing to enter into an agreement with Geneva Construction Co., P.O. Box 998, Aurora, IL 60507 in the amount of $444,815.00 for the 2016 Citywide Water and Sewer Maintenance Patching Program.
PURPOSE:
This is an annual project that is required to patch pavement in the public right of way that was damaged in relation to utility repairs such as water main breaks and sanitary sewer repairs. Geneva Construction Co, has provided similar services for the City of Aurora in the past and has performed satisfactory work.
BACKGROUND:
This project was bid publicly, with an advertisement in the Aurora Beacon on February 7th, 2016. Bids were received, opened and read aloud publicly on February 24, 2016. Two bids were received, and the lowest responsible bid was from Geneva Construction Co., of Aurora, IL in the amount of $444,815.00.
DISCUSSION:
This Citywide project will benefit the entire community, as it is the only contract that will be in place to repair the roadways that are damaged throughout the year due to utility repairs. This work is budgeted for on an annual basis; this year, funds are available in the 2016 Budget in Account Number 510-4063-511-38-38.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
Construction is expected to begin in late April and will continue throughout the construction season based on the number of utility repairs that are completed. Impacts to the public will be minimal, but will consist of short term lane closures associated with the pavement repairs and in certain cases, loss of driveway access to allow adequate time for concrete to cure (when applicable).
RECOMMENDATIONS:
I request the proposed resolution be adopted.
