Since the contractor's bid is based on estimated quantities, I recommend the contract be awarded to the available budget amount of $70,000.00 to allow for contingency in the contract quantities. Recommendation I recommend the low bidder, Copenhaver Construction, Inc. of Gilberts, IL, be awarded the contract for the 2014 CDBG Sidewalk Program in the amount not to exceed $70,000.00. There are sufficient funds in the 2014 Budget to cover this proposed contract. Please include this item on the July I" Village Board Meeting Agenda. � ` . I concur with the above recolmn ndation.
