ACTION REQUESTED:
Title
Communication from the City Manager and Director of Public Works with a Request to APPROVE Change Order #1 for a One-Year Extension of the CONCRETE REPAIRS CONTRACT - 2021 with ILLINOIS CIVIL CONTRACTORS, INC. and to Authorize the City Manager to Execute the Change Order, for a Total Budget Amount of $100,000.00. (Amends 21-263) (All Council Districts)
Body
BACKGROUND: Public Works proposes to continue a concrete repair contract similar to the annual storm sewer repair contract. This contract extension would eliminate the delays experienced waiting for the design, bidding, letting and Council approval of individual contracts for each project. The repairs will be designed “in the field” and paid based on the time and materials bid. This is an opportunity for the Public Works Engineering Division to improve efficiency and be more responsive.
This contract will be used to make traffic calming improvements and for other concrete repairs, as needed.
The original unit prices bid shall remain in effect for this contract extension. The contract change is germane to the original contract as signed.
Illinois Civil Contractors, Inc. is a local business that has successfully performed similar work for the City in the past.
The Good Faith Efforts documentation submitted by Illinois Civil Contractors, Inc. in 2021 was reviewed and approved by the Equal Opportunity Manager. The scope of work to be performed on this project varies from location to location. As a result, ICCI cannot project how much subcontract work will be available.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Funding is available through the 2022 Community Investment Plan for the roadway infrastructure projects and Neighborhood Traffic Calling Program.
NEIGHBORHOOD CONCERNS: Well-maintained infrastructure is a benefit to all neighborhoods.
IMPACT IF APPROVED: Concrete repairs and concrete traffic calming will be constructed.
IMPACT IF DENIED: Concrete repairs and concrete traffic calming will not be constructed.
ALTERNATIVES: N/A
EEO CERTIFICATION NUMBER: Illinois Civil Contractors, Inc. has current EEO Certification # 02533-220630.
