Title
Communication from the City Manager and Interim Director of Public Works with a Request to ACCEPT the LOW BID of ILLINOIS CIVIL CONTRACTORS, INC. and Award a Construction CONTRACT from the Base Bid of $658,282.95 with an Additional Authorization in Contingency of $65,828.30 (10%), for a Total Award Amount of $724,111.25, for the GENEVA ROAD (ALTA LANE TO 200 FEET NORTH OF FORESTGLEN DRIVE) and DANIEL COURT (MURPHY DRIVE THRU CUL-DE-SAC) RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT. (Council District 5)
Body
BACKGROUND: The funds generated from the 2015 Roadway and Bridge levy have gone toward several road projects in the City limits since 2016. Sections of residential roads on Manor Pkwy (CD 1); Dries Lane, Delmar Court, Dennis Court (CD 2); Harvard Ave (CD 3); Stenning Dr (CD 4), and Columbine Dr (CD 5) have been completed through this program.
The two projects selected for this year's program included Geneva Road, from Alta Ln to 200 feet north of Forestglen Drive, and also Daniel Court, from Murphy Drive through the cul-de-sac. The Public Works Department investigated pavement condition index (PCI) ratings for city streets. Geneva Road, from Alta Ln to 200 feet north of Forestglen Drive, was rated 41 of 100 on the index. Daniel Court, south of Murphy Drive, was rated 48 on the index and has had several work orders for recent sinkholes. Roadways rated below '50' warrant reconstruction.
The updated Unified Development Code puts forth two options for contractors' bids to reconstruct roads, by putting back either a full-depth asphalt roadway or a roadway with concrete base and an asphalt overlay. Both of those options had been used since 2016 with competitive bidding allowing both options to be constructed by a wider range of local contractors.
The Geneva Road and Daniel Court Project was advertised and bids were opened on July 11, 2019 with 2 bidders making both base and alternate bids, received as follows:
