DATE: August 13, 2020
SUBJECT:
A resolution authorizing the Director of Purchasing to enter into an agreement with J&S Construction Sewer and Water, Inc., 136 Kirkland Circle, Oswego, IL 60543 in the amount of $140,191.00 for demolition of structures and site cleanup at nine single family residences on Bilter Road.
PURPOSE:
To enter into an agreement with J&S Construction Sewer and Water, Inc. for demolition of structures and site cleanup at nine single family residences on Bilter Road.
BACKGROUND:
The City recently purchased nine parcels containing single family homes and garages on the south side of Bilter Road, east of Chicago Premium Outlets. It is the City's plan to demolish all structures and clear these parcels for future development.
DISCUSSION:
A request for bids to demolish these structures and provide site cleanup was published and seventeen responses were read aloud on July 29, 2020. Six of the bids received were disqualified for improper documentation. Of the eleven qualified bids received, J&S Construction Sewer and Water, Inc. was determined to be the lowest responsible bidder in the amount of $140,191.00, which includes bid alternates 1 (site cleanup) and 2 (septic and well disconnection and abandonment).
This bid was subject to Local Preference but was not an impact on the decision.
This agreement will be funded using account 215-4010-417.71-01 Capital Outlay-Land/Cost of Land, which has an available balance of over $4M.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
Once these structures are demolished and parcels cleaned and cleared, these properties will be poised for redevelopment in the potentially lucrative area surrounding Chicago Premium Outlets.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
I request the proposed resolution be adopted.
