SUBJECT:
A resolution to allow the Director of Procurement to execute a contract with D. Construction, Inc. of 1488 S. Broadway, Coal City, IL 60416 in the amount of $528,976.80 for the South Eola Road Stormwater Management and Conveyance Improvements in Ward 9. See Exhibit A for a project location map.
PURPOSE:
To execute a contract with D. Construction, Inc. for installation of approximately 2,200 feet of storm sewer and modification of two detention basin outflow control structures.
BACKGROUND:
The need for this project was evident following the storm event of April 2013, which flooded South Eola Road near Barrington Drive and several other nearby intersections for an extended period of time. Pumps were operated at the downstream end of the drainage system to lower the water levels enough to make roads passable for vehicles.
Phase 1 of the project involved evaluating alternatives to determine the right combination of improvements to alleviate flooding issues in the area without creating adverse impacts at other locations. That phase started in 2013 and was completed in September 2015. Phase 2 developed final engineering plans and specifications from the concept-level plans prepared in Phase 1.
The South Eola Road Stormwater Management and Conveyance Improvements project was advertised publicly. Exhibit B is a copy of the project advertisement. The bids were received, opened, and read aloud on June 28, 2017. The five qualifying bids are tabulated in Exhibit C. Exhibit D is a copy of the low bid from D. Construction, Inc.
DISCUSSION:
Project B049 account 280-1852-512.81-90 has sufficient funds for this project.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
Royal Lane and Ellington Drive will be closed during construction, but detour routes will be marked in order to maintain the flow of traffic.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends the proposed resolution be adopted.
