TO: Mayor Robert J. O’Connor
FROM: Jason Bauer, P.E., Engineering Coordinator
DATE: April 28, 2017
SUBJECT:
A resolution to allow the Director of Procurement to execute a contract with Suburban General Construction Inc., 1019 E. 31st Street, LaGrange Park, IL 60526 in the amount of four hundred ninety-eight thousand, six hundred forty-two dollars and zero cents ($498,642.00) for the Citywide Sanitary Sewer Spot Repairs - Contract A project. The repair locations are spread throughout the City of Aurora.
PURPOSE:
To execute a contract with Suburban General Construction Inc. to complete 35 repairs to the sanitary sewer system.
BACKGROUND:
The public works division routinely performs inspection 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 several years of inspection efforts. This contract, along with another contract of similar in size and scope to be bid later this summer, will address the majority of the repairs discovered that require open excavation and replacement of the faulty section of sewer main.
DISCUSSION:
This project will benefit the residents immediately tributary to and upstream of the sewer to be repaired. The project is budgeted for in 2017 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. Four conforming bids were received, publicly opened and read aloud on April 26, 2017. The low bidder, Suburban General Construction Inc., has successfully completed similar projects for the City in the past. The bid tabulation and Suburban General Construction Inc.'s bid are attached as exhibits B and C.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
There may be temporary road closures during the repair of each location. No single repair should take more than a day to complete. Several repairs may require the removal and replacement of concrete curb and gutter or driveway aprons which may limit a resident's access to their driveway during the completion of the repair and curing of the concrete. No long term impacts are anticipated for residents. There will be no loss of sanitary sewer service during the construction of the repairs.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
I request the proposed resolution be adopted.
