TO: Mayor John Laesch and City Council
FROM: Tim Weidner, P.E., Engineering Coordinator
DATE: August 10, 2026
SUBJECT:
A Resolution authorizing the award of a contract to Geneva Construction Company in the amount of $1,939,123.42 for the 2026 Citywide Right-of-Way Maintenance Project.
PURPOSE:
To award a Construction Contract for various maintenance projects throughout the City.
BACKGROUND:
The City maintains over 530 centerline miles of streets that include sidewalks, pavement markings and bike paths. Staff have identified over 27,000 square feet of deteriorated sidewalks, nearly 20,000 square yards of deteriorated pavement and over 28 miles of pavement markings that need to be replaced. This project will also include overlaying bike paths, crack sealing, and other miscellaneous maintenance work throughout the City.
Through a separate City Council action, the City is planning to award a contract to a different company to complete the pavement marking work under DuPage's County joint purchasing program. It is anticipated that the City-wide pavement marking work for the year will be primarily completed under that separate contract, with most/all of the pavement marking work shown in this bid being removed.
DISCUSSION:
This project was advertised on July 15, 2026 on the City's Procurement website. Bids were opened and publicly read through the Procurement website on July 29, 2026. The posted bid documents are attached as Exhibit 'A'. The bid tabulation and evaluation for the 2 bids received is attached as Exhibit 'B'. The lowest responsible bid was submitted by Geneva Construction Company of Aurora, IL in the amount of $1,939,123.42 which 2.87% less than the Engineer's Cost Estimate in the amount of $1,996,370.36.
The local preference ordinance applies to this project, but the low Contractor bid was from an Aurora company.
We recommend awarding the 2026 Citywide Right-of-Way Maintenance Contract to Geneva Construction Company.
