N / INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: VILLAGE MANAGER, MICHAEL E. JANONIS
FROM: WATER/SEWER SUPERINTENDENT
DATE: APRIL 30, 2013
SUBJ: BID RESULTS FOR SEWER REPAIRS USING CURED -IN- PLACE -PIPE
(CIPP) PROCESS ($447,341)
Background
In the current budget, staff requested funds to continue the combined sewer system repairs.
These repairs were identified during the Combined Sewer System Evaluation Study ( CSSES)
completed in 2004. In total, almost $15 million worth of combined sewer repair work has been
slated.
This work primarily consists of rehabilitating existing combined sewer main pipes using a no -dig,
cured -in- place -pipe (CIPP) process. To facilitate this work, staff prepared two (2) separate bid
packages. One package was designed to solicit contractors for rehabilitating sewer mains using
the CIPP process. The other bid package was drafted to procure the services of a sewer
excavation contractor capable of replacing structurally failed pipe under the Village's Spot
Repair Project.
The CSSES ranked defects in categories from 1 to 5 with Category 5 being pipes in the worst
condition and Category 1 pipes requiring little or no rehabilitation. The rehabilitation work
performed since 2005 resulted in the elimination of the worst defects (100% of both Category 4
and 5). Distinct funds were appropriated in the current budget for these improvements.
This memorandum presents the results of the bids for the CIPP work. Bid results for spot relays
will be presented in a separate document at a future meeting.
The locations of the work planned for the proposed CIPP award are outlined in Attachment A.
This year's proposed project features 5,899 lineal feet of lining work in pipes ranging from 8" to
24" in diameter along with the televising and cleaning of approximately 65,000 lineal feet of
sewers
Bid Results
Prior to letting, four (4) invitational bids were distributed to contractors experienced in the CIPP
process. Public notice was posted in a local newspaper as required. An additional eight (8) bid
sets were released to contractors. Sealed bids were received until 1:00 P.M. on Monday, March
18, 2013 at which time they were opened and read aloud. Four (4) bids were received. The bid
results are as follows:

Discussion
Staff has evaluated all bids and determined that the bids received are responsive to the request.
All bidders submitted the required bid securities. All submitted bids meet the bid qualifications.
Visu -Sewer of Illinois, LLC of, Bridgeview, IL is the apparent low bidder and provided all the
necessary material and references as outlined in the bid specification. Visu -Sewer has done
work for the Village in the past and their work has been satisfactory and timely.
Staff is recommending that a 10% contingency ($40,667.10) be added to the contract to cover
any unforeseen expenses. A contingency would cover the difference between actual lineal
footages and the estimates used to prepare the bid specifications, address unforeseen sewer
services that would need to be reinstated and make any other small repairs needed to be
performed prior to the lining of the sewer. The contingency would raise the total project cost to
$447,341 ($406,673.90 base bid plus the contingency of $40,667.10).
Recommendation
I recommend that the Village Board award the 2013 combined sewer repairs using the CIPP
process project to Visu -Sewer of Illinois, LLC of Bridgeview, Illinois in the amount of
$447,341.00. Sufficient funds for this proposed contract exist in the current budget.
