FROM: Graig Neville, Engineer
DATE: February 10, 2015
SUBJECT:
A resolution to award a Contract to Gerardi Sewer & Water Co. of 4520 N. Osage, Norridge, IL 60706 for the Lafayette St. Water Main Replacement Project in the amount of $228,224.50. The project is located in Ward 4.
PURPOSE:
The water main along Lafayette St. and Sherman Ave., south of Melrose and west of 4th St. has been experiencing poor water quality and water main breaks.
BACKGROUND:
Water Production has been receiving complaints of rusty water and low water pressure in this area. Water Production has flushed this section several times, which only temporarily improves water quality. This section of water main has not been replaced or rehabilitated and requires replacement for continued reliable service.
DISCUSSION:
The proposed improvements will increase water pressure by increasing the replacement line to 8-inch from the existing 6-inch line. The City of Aurora has budgeted for this project under the Water & Sewer Fund IC076 510-4058-511-7302. Gerardi Sewer & Water Co. was the lowest responsible bid.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
The proposed project will create temporary road closures to through traffic on Lafayette St. south of Melrose and on Sherman Ave. between Lafayette and 4th. City of Aurora staff should be available to address construction management.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
I request authorization for the Director of Purchasing to enter into an agreement with Gerardi Sewer & Water Co. of 4520 N. Osage in Norridge, IL 60706 for construction of the Lafayette St. Water Main Replacement project in the amount of two hundred twenty eight thousand two hundred twenty four dollars and fifty cents ($228,224.50).
