DATE: August 27, 2018
SUBJECT:
A resolution to award the 2018 Sanitary Sewer Spot Repair project to Suburban General Construction, Inc., 1019 East 31st Street, LaGrange Park, IL 60526.
PURPOSE:
To execute a contract with Suburban General Construction Inc. to complete 7 repairs to the sanitary sewer system.
BACKGROUND:
The public works division routinely hires a contractor to perform inspections of the City's sanitary and combined sewer systems in areas where there are suspected performance issues and ahead of the City's annual street resurfacing program. This typically involves visual inspection of manholes and televising of the sewer mains. At this time, there is a backlog of spot repairs to be completed from the last year of inspections. This contract will address a third of the repairs discovered that require open excavation and replacement of the faulty section of sewer main. The last two years, the Water & Sewer Maintenance Division has increasingly completed more of the spot repairs identified. This year they are performing approximately two thirds of the identified repairs. The repairs included in this contract are generally over 12' in depth or 20' in length which are safety limits based on the size and capacity of the equipment operated by the Water & Sewer Maintenance Division.
DISCUSSION:
The project is budgeted for in 2018 within account 510-4063-511-73-14 (IB018). The proposed improvements have been publicly advertised and bid in conformance with City procedures. The advertisement for bid is attached as Exhibit A. Three conforming bids were received, publicly opened and read aloud on August 15, 2018. The low bidder, Suburban General Construction Inc., has successfully completed similar projects for the City in the past including a sanitary spot repair contract in 2017.
