SUBJECT:
A resolution to award the N. Elmwood Drive & Pleasure Court Water Main Replacement & Storm Sewer Extension project located in Wards 4 & 6 to Patnick Construction, Inc., 9760 Franklin Park Avenue, #504, Franklin Park, Illinois 60131 in the bid amount of one million, eight hundred seventy-one thousand, seven hundred eighty-nine dollars and zero cents ($1,871,789.00).
PURPOSE:
To replace the 6" and 8" water main along the Pleasure Court loop and on N. Elmwood Drive from Pleasure Court north to Colorado Avenue. The Elmwood Drive water main has broken several times very recently and the Pleasure Court has a longer history of breaks.
BACKGROUND:
The location of this water main to be replaced can be seen in the attached Exhibit A - Location Map. These two sections of 6" and 8" water main were planned to be replaced in 2020 but due to several breaks on the Elmwood water main, the project time was accelerated with a start date now in February 2020. Closures of entrances to the businesses and residences will be kept to a minimum during construction.
There is currently very limited drainage infrastructure on the entire Pleasure Court loop. This project will add 16 drainage structures and 1,110 feet of storm sewer to improve the drainage conditions.
