End
Overview
Overview
The Village received three competitive bids for the Bridge Rehabilitation Improvement Project. The project consists of repairs on the bridges over I-290 at Home and Oak Park Avenues to sidewalks, pavements, and installing protective shielding under the bridges to protect traffic on I-290 from falling debris. The lowest responsible bid for the base scope of work was submitted by Norvilla in an amount of $286,765.40.
Body
Staff Recommendation
Approve the Resolution.
Fiscal Impact
There is currently $240,907 available for the construction of this project in the FY2018 Budget Capital Improvement Fund, Public Works-Engineering, for Local Street Construction account no. 3095-43780-101-570951. There is savings from pavement patching with the alley improvement project in this same account which will be used to fund the remaining $45,859 needed for this contract.
Background
The Village has maintenance responsibility of the bridge decks for the bridges at Home, Oak Park, East, and Lombard Avenues as well as the west half of Austin Boulevard. The project is for repairs and improvements to the bridges over I-290 at Home Avenue and Oak Park Avenues. The repair work under this contract is meant to address the most immediate repair needs which include sidewalk and pavement patching and ADA improvements on the Oak Park Avenue Bridge and installing protective lagging (wood shielding) under the Home Avenue Bridge to protect drivers on I-290 and railroads from falling debris and to allow for deck patching in 2019. A bid alternate was included for repairs to the north joint at the East Avenue Bridge but is not recommended for approval due to lack of available funds
Work is scheduled to be completed this fall. There will be overnight work for any construction and installation of protective shielding under the bridges which require lane closures on I-290 and with certain activities over active rail lines.
Alternatives
The alternative to this recommendation could be to delay action to gain additional information.
