INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: ACTING VILLAGE MANAGER DAVID STRAHL
FROM: VILLAGE ENGINEER
DATE: FEBRUARY 12, 2015
SUBJECT: NORTHWEST HIGHWAY STREETSCAPE CONSTRUCTION BID CONCURRENCE
(VILLAGE COST NOT TO EXCEED $650,045)
Background
In 2013 the Village of Mount Prospect received $678,000 in Illinois Transportation Enhancement
(ITEP) Funds for the construction of Streetscape Improvements along Northwest Highway. The
project included the sections of Northwest Highway between Forest Avenue and Fairview
Avenue, Maple Street and Louis Street, and George Street to Albert Street. In May of 2014, the
Village signed a Local Agency Agreement with the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT)
establishing the division of cost for the project. The agreement also established that the project
construction contract would be awarded by IDOT through their competitive bidding process.
IDOT will pay the contractor directly and the Village will reimburse IDOT for our share of the
construction cost.
Bid Results
IDOT opened bids on January 30, 2015. 8 contractors bid on the project and Path Construction
Co. of Arlington Heights was the low bidder with a bid of $1,268,950. The complete bid results
are:
Path Construction Co., Inc.
$1,268,950.00
Alliance Contractors, Inc.
$1,274,985.90
A Lamp Concrete Contractors, Inc.
$1,282,348.75
Lorusso Cement Contractors, Inc.
$1,302,653.12
Martam Construction, Inc.
$1,364,023.00
Landmark Construction, Inc.
$1,390,118.50
Kovilic Construction Co., Inc.
$1,485,195.50
Engineer's Estimate of Cost $1,115,120.50
The low bid is $113,829.50 above the project estimate of cost. The increase is mainly due to
significant increases in concrete prices that are occurring on all 2015 construction projects. The
maximum federal participation is capped at $678,000, so the Village would be responsible for
the remaining cost of $590,950. IDOT is seeking the Village's concurrence to award the contract
to the as -read low bidder in the amount of $1,268,950. To allow for contingency in contract
quantities, 10 % should be added bringing the Village's share to a not to exceed amount of
$650,045.
