Overview
Overview
Competitive bids were opened on October 22, 2015 for the Sidewalk and Curb and Gutter Replacement project. Nine contractors picked up proposal documents and five bids were received. The low compliant bid was submitted by J. Nardulli Concrete, Inc. in an amount of $129,050. It is recommended to award the contract at the full budgeted amount of $150,000 so additional sidewalk locations can be replaced.
Body
Staff Recommendation
Approval.
Fiscal Impact
A total of $150,000 has been budgeted in the 2015 Capital Improvement Plan for sidewalk improvements. Funds for this project come from CDBG account 2083-46201-822-583652.
Background
This project includes the replacement of approximately 14,000 square feet of sidewalks, as well as additional quantities for curbs, driveway apron replacement, and other items associated with this concrete work. Sidewalk replacement will take place at numerous locations throughout the Village.
Sidewalk locations have been prioritized based on a sidewalk survey conducted by the Engineering Division staff in 2014 & 2015. Staff surveys approximately ¼ of the Village each year. A typical sidewalk square (25 sq. ft.) costs about $205 to replace. The Village covers 100% of the cost for replacement for the majority of sidewalks identified in our surveys. Homeowners can share 50% of the cost, or roughly $102.50 per sidewalk square, to replace sidewalks not identified in the surveys.
Staff is recommending that the total budgeted amount of $150,000 be awarded for the contract so that additional sidewalk locations in need of replacement can be included in the project.
Alternatives
The alternative to this recommendation could be to delay action to gain additional information.

Intergovernmental Cooperation Opportunities
The Engineering Division works with the Park District of Oak Park and the School Districts to identify sidewalk squares in need of replacement within the public right-of-way along their frontages so that they can be replaced with the Village’s sidewalk program which typical provides the lowest possible cost for sidewalk replacement.
