A Resolution to award a contract to Geneva Construction Co. in the amount of $3,440,441.25 for the 2025 Citywide Street Resurfacing-WEST/NORTH project.
PURPOSE:
To award the Construction Contract for the 2025 Citywide Street Resurfacing-WEST/NORTH project.
BACKGROUND:
The City maintains nearly 1,300 lane miles of streets with a pavement wearing surface life expectancy of 20 to 25 years. Like last year, the 2025 Citywide Resurfacing Project has been broken up into 2 separate contracts. This Construction Contract includes the resurfacing of 17.3 lane miles of streets throughout the City. Both of the 2025 Citywide Resurfacing Projects combined will resurface a total of 43.0 lane miles of streets. In 2022 the City resurfaced 40.6 lane miles, in 2023 the City resurfaced 43.4 lane miles of streets, and in 2024 the City resurfaced 38.4 lane miles.
DISCUSSION:
Bids were opened and publicly read on April 9, 2025 (Bid No. 25-137). The bid tabulation for the 3 bids received is attached as Exhibit 'A'. The lowest responsible bid was submitted by Geneva Construction Co. of Aurora, IL in the amount of $3,389,411.25 which is 9.0% less than the Engineer's Cost Estimate.
