End
Overview
Overview
This agreement provides for the replacement of the Village’s portion of potable lead water service lines throughout the village. As residents replace their portion of the lead water service line with copper pipe the Village will replace their side at no charge to the resident. The Village hired a contractor to assist in completing this work. Construction by Camco, Inc. performed this work last year after a competitive bidding process. The Agreement provides for two possible one-year renewals. It is proposed to exercise the first of the two possible renewals with Construction by Camco, Inc. for the fiscal year 2022 water service line replacement program.

Background
This project includes the replacement of the Village side of the lead water service line throughout the Village.
The work completed under this contract is intended to supplement work performed by the Public Works Water and Sewer Division field crews. Locations assigned to the contractor are typically locations that are longer runs, more difficult for the field crews to complete or require special equipment, or at times when the field crews are committed to other maintenance work. This replacement work is done in conjunction with a resident upgrading the private side of the service with a plumbing contractor.
Staff recommends exercising the first of two renewals of the agreement with Construction by Camco, Inc.
