FROM: Kurt Muth, P.E., Engineering Coordinator
DATE: February 22, 2021
SUBJECT:
A resolution to award the Lakewood Place Water Main Replacement project located in Ward 4 to Mauro Sewer Construction, Inc., 1251 Redeker Rd., Des Plaines, IL 60016 in the bid amount of three hundred twenty-nine thousand, nine hundred eighty-eight dollars and zero cents ($329,988.00)

IMPACT STATEMENT:
