INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: VILLAGE MANAGER MICHAEL E. JANONIS
FROM: PROJECT ENGINEER
DATE: JULY 30, 2013
SUBJECT: GOLFVIEW ESTATES DRAINAGE PROJECT
(CONTRACT AWARD NOT TO EXCEED $119,870)
Background
The Golfview Estates Subdivision is bounded by Busse Road to the west, Lonnquist Boulevard to the south,
and the Mount Prospect Golf Course to the east and north. The subdivision does not have storm sewers and
relies on ditches for storm water drainage. Inconsistencies in the flow lines of several of the ditches has
created local summits that reduce the capacity of the ditches and low areas that collect and hold water long
after the rain has ended. The Golfview Estates Drainage Project reestablishes a consistent flow line to both
improve the drainage of the ditches and to eliminate the water ponding in the ditches.
Bid Results
A Notice to Bidders was published in a local newspaper as required and invitations were sent to contractors
