Information
In the current budget, funds are allocated to replace aged and deteriorating Village-owned water mains. Pursuant to
the findings discussed in the 2017 Water Rate Study, this year's proposed project is scaled to begin a multi-year
process of reducing the life expectancy of water mains to 130 years. This improvement will increase the reliability and
sustainability of the water distribution system. Analysis performed during the Water Rate Study indicated that our
former rate of renewal approached 600 years.
This year's proposed project includes, the replacement of 3,900 lineal feet of 6” diameter water main, with 10”
diameter water main. The project area is depicted on the attached site map. Streets affected include Prospect Avenue
(between Emerson Street and School Street), School Street (between Prospect Avenue and Lincoln Street), Lincoln
Street (between School Street and Emerson Street), as well as Maple Street (between Prospect Avenue and Lincoln
Street).
Hydraulic modeling has indicated that increasing the size of this water main segment is necessary in order to improve
fire flow and facilitate a wide range of potential redevelopment in the area. Failure analysis reveals frequent breaks
and service disruptions particularly along Prospect Avenue, Maple Street, and School Street. In addition, pipes in the
target area are among the oldest and smallest in the Village water distribution system.
Most of the new main will be installed utilizing directional drilling technology. Consequently, surface disruption to
pavements and turf will be minimal. However, due to existing utility conflicts, a section of the project on Prospect
Avenue between Emerson Street and Maple Street will be replaced using open-cut excavation.

The project includes approximately 330 lineal feet of storm sewer replacement; twenty three (23) new water main
valves and vaults; twelve (12) new Mueller fire hydrants; other water main appurtenances, and surface restoration.
Work is expected to commence in mid-July and reach final completion before the end of the year.
Bid Results
Detailed plans, specifications, and bidding documents necessary to facilitate contractual performance of this work
were prepared by the Village's engineering consultant for this project, Baxter & Woodman of Crystal Lake, Illinois. A
copy of the bid documents and project plans are attached.
Planned work was divided into a Base Bid and an Alternate Bid. The Base Bid included water main replacement work
on Prospect Avenue, School Street, and Lincoln Street. The Alternate Bid encompassed optionally awarded water main
replacement work on Maple Street. The work was bifurcated in this manner to provide a means to adjust the scope of
the project depending upon bid prices. That is, if prices came in high, work could be limited to the Base Bid.
Conversely, if bids were competitive, the project could be expanded to include Maple Street.
Thirteen (13) area firms who have experience with municipal water main replacement projects were invited to bid on
this project. In addition, the work was publicly advertised as required.

On June 11 2018, the bids were publicly opened and read aloud. Seven (7) firm’s submitted bids. The results are

All bids were reviewed to ensure that the documents had appropriate signatures and bid security. All bids
were submitted with requisite documents, security, and signatures. A copy of Patnick's bid submittal is attached.
Based on review of the bids, the lowest responsible bidder is Patnick Construction, Inc. of Franklin Park, Illinois
(Patnick). Patnick has performed work for the Village in the past. Most recently, they constructed the 2017 Water Main
Replacement Project on Elm Street. Work on the project was completed satisfactorily. In addition, reference checks
indicated that Patnick has satisfactorily completed similar work in other communities. It is the opinion of staff that
Patnick is qualified to successfully prosecute this proposed project.
Due to the strong interest and competitive nature of bids, staff recommends including both Base Bid and Alternate Bid
work in the proposed project award. Sufficient funding for this proposed work exists in the current budget.
Since the project includes underground work, there is a possibility of unforeseen repairs. Staff is requesting a 10%
contingency ($109,924.50) to address any of these unforeseen issues should they arise. A 10% contingency would
bring the project award total to $1,209,169.50 (the $1,099,245.00 base and alternate bid plus the 10% contingency
of $109,924.50).
