Introduction
overview
Bids were opened on November 20th for Project 25-21, Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) Installations. The Village received three bids for this project, with the lowest responsible bid from Lyons Electric Company in an amount of $445,000. The work includes furnishing and installing twenty-eight RRFBs at eight intersections throughout the Village for pedestrian and bike crossings of the neighborhood greenway system with major roadways and for pedestrian crossings improvements from the Vision Zero Plan. The bid results were lower than the engineer's estimate, and the project is well within budget. To take advantage of the favorable bid prices, three more intersections were added to the project for an additional $183,251.25. The total contract value for these 11 intersections is $628,252.
