CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $24,759
Department: Public Works Department
Information:
In the 2016 Community Investment Plan (CIP), there are funds available to continue the rehabilitation of the Village's
sanitary relief stations. These stations are used to provide relief to the Village -owned combined sanitary sewer
system in the event that the interceptor sewers of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago
(MWRDGC) become surcharged. The Village owns and maintains eight (8) sanitary relief stations and two (2)
sewage lift stations. This will be the third sanitary relief station rehabilitation as George Street North and South rehab
have been completed previously. Originally, the project planned for 2016 was the Louis Street Relief Station but a fault
in the underground electrical feed to the station at William Street Relief Station made William Street a higher priority
for repair. The electrical repairs will be made during this project.
The William Street South Sanitary Relief Station was built in the 1972 and has been repaired over the years as
needed. This station provides sanitary sewer relief for the area from the north at Sha Bonee Trail then south to
Weller creek, bounded by School Street to the west and William Street on the east.
The Public Works Department previously requested proposals for design engineering (Phase 1 engineering) to
replace the William Street Relief Station and subsequently awarded Ciorba Group the project utilizing a qualifications
based selection process.
The planned improvements include the underground electrical feed, installation of a complete replacement pump
station with new pumps, guide rails and controllers, along with all associated wiring and other electrical control
equipment. Ciorba successfully prepared the project specifications and plans necessary to permit and bid the project.
Presently, staff is requesting assistance from an engineering firm to provide technical assistance, part-time
construction engineering, and general contract administration for the construction phase of the project (Phase 2).
Because of their familiarity with the project as design engineers, staff requested a cost proposal from Ciorba to
provide these services.
Ciorba group prepared a proposal to provide specified engineering services in an amount not to exceed $24,759.
This proposal would include on-site inspection and observation during the estimated five (5) week installation period.
It would also include review of plan inquiries and cut sheet submittals prior to the on-site work. The proposal includes
192 hours of work at a rate of $129 / hour. It is the opinion of staff that the hours allotted are reasonable and the rate
is competitive.
Alternatives:
1. Accept proposal from Ciorba Group, Inc. of Chicago, Illinois to provide construction engineering services for the
William Street Relief Station Rehabilitation Project.
2. Discretion of the Village Board.
Budget Impact:
This proposed contract will require the expenditure of $24,759 from the Water/Sewer Enterprise Fund. Sufficient
funds exist in the current budget.
Recommendation:
I recommend that the Village Board accept the proposal from Ciorba Group, Inc. of Chicago, Illinois to provide
construction engineering services for the William Street Relief Station Rehabilitation Project in an amount not to
exceed $24,759.
SUPPORTS THE FOLLOWING STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS:
