Recommendation
Recommendation
Adopt the Resolution.
Background
The 2023 alley project includes rebuilding thirteen alley segments throughout the Village. The alleys being replaced under this contract have an average condition score of 18 with a 100 being a newly constructed alley whereas the overall system average condition score is 63. A map showing the locations of the alleys being replaced as part of this contract is attached.
Work is planned to start in late spring/early summer and be completed by September.
The contractor, Triggi Construction, Inc., has previously completed alley improvements in the Village of Oak Park and has done an excellent job.
Fiscal Impact
The project is proposed to be funded using Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds and Capital Improvement Funds (CIP).
The FY23 Budget has $1,904,488 available for this project in the Capital Improvement Fund, Public Works - Engineering, Alley Improvements account no. 3095-43780-101-570964.
The FY23 Budget includes $400,000 in CDBG funds for this project. Based on the low bid, there is $434,285 of work which qualifies for CDBG funds for alleys in low-moderate income areas. Pending Village Board concurrence, staff will prepare an Amendment to the 2020 and 2022 Action Plan for Village Board approval to reflect the additional $34,285 in CDBG funds being used for this project and submit a Budget Amendment at the next available Budget Amendment to transfer these funds to the CDBG account for VOP Public works - Alleys account no. 2083-46201-101-583657.
Residents have the option to have their private garage-aprons reconstructed during the project at the contract unit price and reimburse the Village for these costs. Revenues received from residents for this garage apron work will offset expenditures for the work.
