IMPROVEMENTS IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $537,996.
Department: Public Works Department
Information:
As part of the Kensington Business Center development in the 1980's, the annexation agreement requires the Village
to maintain certain amenities within the business park, including the jogging path and the jogging path lighting system.
The jogging path spans across the business park from east to west and has fingers to the north and south to provide
connectivity to the entire business park. The jogging path pavement is deteriorating and in need of repair. The lighting
system is experiencing numerous wiring failures and because of the age of the system, needed lamp and fixture
replacement is becoming more difficult. Last year the east and west ends of the path were replaced and a new
lighting system installed (Phases 1 and 3). To complete the improvements for the entire business park jogging path,
this year the center section between Feehanville Drive and Business Center Drive will be constructed (Phase 2).
Attachment A depicts the project area.
The scope of work includes grinding and re -paving the existing jogging path in the center of the business park between
Maple Trails Park on the west side and the terminus of the central path system at the east end near the intersection of
Feehanville Creek and Business Center Drive. The path will be expanded from its current average width of 6 feet to 8
feet.
In addition, the existing path lighting, wiring, and lighting controllers will be replaced with LED fixtures and poles
The improvements will also feature the addition of active exercise amenities including a balance beam, pull-up bar,
push-up bar and sit-up bench installed at various locations along the pathway.
Requisite earth excavation, concrete flatwork, pavement marking, and site restoration are also included.

Vernon Hills, Illinois and a public notice was placed in the newspaper. Nine (9) contractors picked up the bid
documents and four (4) submitted bids. Bids were opened and read aloud on June 27, 2016.
Each bidder submitted a bid bond in the amount of 10% of the total bid as required in the bid proposal packet. The
bid was checked for accuracy and no errors were found. Each bidder correctly signed their bid and bid bond. Below

The detailed bid tabulation is enclosed is Attachment B.
The low bidder, Maneval Construction Co. Inc., is qualified to complete the work involved with this project and meets
the requirements of the contract documents. Maneval Construction Co, Inc. completed construction of the Linneman
Road Improvements for the Village in 2008, and their work was satisfactory. Maneval Construction Co, Inc. is also
working on numerous projects for Gewalt Hamilton Associates, our consulting Engineers on this project, who report
that their work has also been acceptable. Reference checks also indicated satisfactory performance on proiects of
similar size and scope.
Staff recommends including a 10% contingency in the project award to allow for quantity variances and unanticipated
conditions. In this instance, a 10% contingency added to the lowest cost bid would result in a total contract award of
$537,996 (Base Bid: $489,086.83 + Contingency: $48,909.17 = Total Recommended Award: $537,996).
Alternatives:
1. Accept bid for the construction of the Kensington Business Center Improvements Phase 2.

Budget Impact:
This proposed project will require the expenditure of $537,996 from the Capital Improvements Fund. Sufficient funds
exist in the current budget.

Kensington Business Center Jogging Path Improvements Phase 2 in an amount not to exceed $537,996.
