Background
The Department of Public Works makes repairs to the underground water distribution system and sewer collection system. These repairs require excavation of the public streets which then must be repaired in a timely manner. The final pavement restoration consists of a concrete base course over the utility trench followed by a three inch asphalt surface.
The Village averages approximately 100-150 utility pavement repairs annually. Patching sizes vary; however, a typical size is approximately 10’ x 10’. This work also encompasses restoring sidewalks and curbs damaged during water and sewer repairs.
Competitive bids were opened in April 2016 when the Village issued a call for bids for 2016 utility pavement repair work. The low responsive bid was submitted by G.A. Paving Construction, Inc., of Bellwood Illinois and they were awarded the 2016 contract. G.A. Paving did good work for the Village.
