TO: Mayor Thomas J. Weisner
FROM: Graig Neville, P.E.
DATE: October 16, 2014
SUBJECT:
A resolution to award a Contract to Glenbrook Excavating & Concrete, Inc. of 1350 N. Old Rand Road, Wauconda, IL 60084 for the Lincoln Avenue Emergency Sanitary Sewer Repair Project.
PURPOSE:
To award the above referenced project, which consists of emergency repairs to damaged sanitary sewers from Claim Street to Superior Street.

A portion of the work will be conducted in 2015 and placed in the Water and Sewer fund budget. The remainder will be funded through a budget transfer that is currently underway. Item 28 Temporary Pavement (HMA) 3" will not be used in the contract, as the asphalt plants will be closed before the project repairs are completed. Therefore, the Glenbrook bid, after checking for reasonableness and accuracy, is the lowest responsible bid and in the best interests of the City of Aurora. This reduces the contract amount by seventy thousand dollars and zero cents ($70,000.00). The sewer conditions are at a critical stage to be repaired and the City should authorize this work before the sewer collapses completely causing blockages on a relatively large 24-inch sewer.
