FROM: Jason Bauer, P.E., Engineering Coordinator
DATE: February 24, 2016
SUBJECT:
A Resolution authorizing the Director of Purchasing to enter into a contract with Gerardi Sewer & Water Co. of 4520 N. Osage, Norridge, IL 60706 for the Melrose-Homer-Elliot Water Main Replacement Project in the amount of $969,773.77.
PURPOSE:
To enter into an agreement with Gerardi Sewer & Water Co. to install a new 8" water main on Melrose Avenue from Douglas Avenue to Elliot Avenue as well as on Elliot Avenue and Homer Avenue from Melrose Avenue to Monitor Avenue.
BACKGROUND:
The residents in the area of the Melrose-Homer-Elliot Water Main Replacement Project have been contacting Water Production due to poor water quality and low water pressure. Based on an inspection of the water main in this area, the cause of the water quality issue has been identified as excessive tuberculation in the main. The identified solution is the installation of a new, larger diameter water main along the section of roadway identified above. Increasing the size of the main from 6" to 8" will also help with water pressure issues.
DISCUSSION:
Gerardi Sewer & Water Co.'s bid of $969,773.77 was the lowest responsible bid of the ten (10) bids received. The City of Aurora has budgeted the $969,773.77 for this project. The funds are available in the 2016 Budget in project IC076, account # 510-4058-511-7302.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
The proposed project will create temporary road closures to through traffic on Homer and Elliot and lane closures on Melrose. Work hours on Melrose will be restricted to reduce conflicts with traffic entering and existing Krug Elementary.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
I request the proposed resolution be adopted.
