Backaround
In the current budget, funds available to continue the rehabilitation of the Village's sanitary relief stations. These
stations are utilized to provide relief to the Village -owned sanitary sewer system in the event Metropolitan Water
Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRDGC) receiving sewers become surcharged during rain events.
The Village owns and maintains eight (8) sanitary relief stations and two (2) sewage lift stations. This project will be the
fourth sanitary relief station rehabilitation completed in recent years. George Street North, George Street South and
William Street rehab have already been successfully rehabilitated.
The Louis Street Sanitary Relief Station was built in the 1971 and has been repaired over the years as needed. This
station provides sanitary sewer relief for the area depicted in the attached location map (Louis Street Sewers.pdf).
The planned improvements include replacement of the underground electrical feed, installation of a packaged
replacement pump station with new pumps, guide rails and controllers, along with all associated wiring and other
electrical control equipment. The existing wet well is in very good shape and will be rehabilitated to accommodate the
new equipment. The attached plan sheets depict these proposed improvements.
In 2010, a standby emergency generator with automatic transfer switch was installed at the station in case of a power
outage. This emergency back-up system is operational and will remain. The existing telemetry system will also be re-
used.

Discussion
Both bidders properly submitted required documents as well as appropriate bid security. The low bidder, Marc Kresmery
Construction LLC had all the appropriate documents, security and signatures.
The lowest cost, responsive bidder is Marc Kresmery Construction from Elgin, Illinois. A copy of their bid submittal is
attached.
This firm has recently completed similar work for the Village including the George Street South Relief Station project in
2014 and William Street Relief Station Project in 2016. Kresmery performed all work in a satisfactory and timely
manner without incident and under budget.
Since the project will include underground work and the rehabilitation of the existing wet well, there may be some
unforeseen repairs. Staff is requesting a 10% contingency ($17,845) to address any of these unforeseen issues should
they arise. A 10% contingency would bring the project award total to $196,295 ($178,450 base bid plus the 10%
contingency of $17,845).
