Accept the lowest cost, responsive bid for Weller Creek Sediment Removal submitted by
Copenhaver Construction, Inc., of Gilberts, Illinois in an amount not to exceed $87,692.
During the Village's annual creek maintenance inspections, Public Works staff observed sediment accumulated in portions
a,
of Weller Creek between Elmhurst Road and Emerson Street. Sediment build up can begin to restrict the flow and increask"
the risk of flooding for adjacent properties. It can also cause plant growth which could also restrict flow. It is important tit,
remove the sediment before it constrains the channel.
Plans, specifications, and bid documents were prepared by the Public Works Department engineering staff to secure
contractual services for the excavation, removal, and disposal of accumulated sediment. A map depicting the location of
the proposed project area is attached.
The contract time for this project is 22 days. Once a detailed schedule is established, the residents adjacent to this section
of Weller Creek will be notified about the project and the notice will be posted on the Village website and social media
outlets.

All bidders submitted a bid bond in the amount of 10% of the total bid as required in the bid proposal packet. All bids were
checked for their accuracy. No errors were found. All bidders correctly signed their bids and bid bonds.
The low bidder, Copenhaver Construction, Inc., is qualified to complete the work involved with this project and meets the
requirements of the contract documents. They previously completed multiple detention pond dredging projects and their
work was acceptable.
The low bid is 33% higher than the Engineer's Estimate of Cost mostly due to increased cost for earth excavation. The
reason for the increased cost for earth excavation is attributed to the high volume of water in the sediment. Contractors
have explained that the saturated soil will slow production and incur additional cost for trucking excavated material.
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
$87,692.00 (Base Bid: $79,720.00 + Contingency: $7,972.00 = Total Recommended Award: $87,692.00).
Alternatives
1. Accept lowest cost, responsive bid for Weller Creek Sediment Removal.
2. Action at discretion of Village Board.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Village Board accept the lowest cost, responsive bid for Weller Creek Sediment Removal
submitted by Copenhaver Construction, Inc., of Gilberts, Illinois in an amount not to exceed $87,692.

LIMIT SEDIMENTS FROM LEAVING THE CONSTRUCTION SITE BY UTILIZING PROPER TEMPORARY
EROSION CONTROL SYSTEMS AND PROVIDING GROUND COVER WITHIN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF
TIME.
AT THE BEGINNING OF CONSTRUCTION, CERTAIN EROSION CONTROL FACILITIES SHALL BE INSTALLED
BY THE CONTRACTOR. OTHER ITEMS SHALL BE INSTALLED BY THE CONTRACTOR AS DIRECTED BY
THE ENGINEER ON A CASE BY CASE SITUATION DEPENDING ON THE CONTRACTOR'S SEQUENCE OF
ACTIVITIES, TIME OF YEAR, AND EXPECTED WEATHER CONDITIONS.
THE CONTRACTOR SHALL INSTALL PERMANENT EROSION CONTROL SYSTEMS AND SEEDING WITHIN A
TIME FRAME SPECIFIED HEREIN AND AS DIRECTED BY THE ENGINEER, THEREFORE MINIMIZING THE
AMOUNT OF AREA SUSCEPTIBLE TO EROSION AND REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF TEMPORARY SEEDING.

Schedule, as needed to Village.
2.5. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR INEXCUSABLE DELAY.
2.5.1. Time is of the essence. The Contractor agrees that all work included in
connection with this project must be completed by the Final
Performance Date, or sooner, after receipt of Notice To Proceed. It is
hereby acknowledged and agreed by both parties that the damages to
the Village are not readily ascertainable, but that the failure to timely
complete this Work will materially and significantly damage the safety
and well-being of the Village, its staff and the public, and that therefore
a sum of $1,000.00 per day is a fair and reasonable damage estimate
to compensate the Village for any such delay. If the Contractor fails to
fully complete the Work in that time, then and in this event, the
Contractor further expressly agrees that, for each day this Work and
this contract shall remain uncompleted after that date, the Village may
deduct the sum of $1,000.00 per day after the Final Performance Date,
from the contract price as payment to the Village, by the Contractor of
the liquidated damages sustained by reason of failure of the Contractor
to complete the Project on or before the time aforesaid.
2.5.2. Provided, however, that if the completion of this contract is delayed by
the Village, by general strikes, acts of God, or casualty beyond the
control of the Contractor, then and in such event, the time of completion
of this contract shall be extended for such additional time as shall be
caused by such delay.
2.5.3. Provided, always, however, that the Contractor shall, at the time of such
delay, if any, demand of the Village, in writing, such additional time
within which to complete the performance of the Contract. The
Contractor will be required to notify the Village within three (3) days of
such delay, stating the reason for same. If the Contractor does not
notify the Village in writing, within three (3) days of the delay, no
request for extension of time will be approved.
2.6. MEASUREMENT OF QUANTITIES. All work completed under the contract will
be measured by the Village according to United States standard measures.
2.7. PAYMENT. Payment under the Contract will be made in accordance with the

14
2018 Weller Creek Sediment Removal
2.8. PAYMENT FOR ITEMS OMITTED WHEN PARTIALLY COMPLETED. Should
the Village cancel or alter any portion of the contract which results in the
elimination or non -completion of any portions of the work partially completed,
the Contractor will be allowed a fair and equitable amount covering all items of
work incurred prior to the date of cancellation, alteration, or suspension of such
work. A written change order may apply.
2.9. PARTIAL PAYMENT. When requested, the Contractor will make an
approximate estimate, in writing, of the materials in place completed, the
amount of work performed, and the value thereof, at the contract unit prices.
From the amount so determined, there shall be deducted ten percent (10%) to
be retained until after completion of the entire Work to the Village for payment,
except that no amount less than $500 will be so certified unless the total
amount of the contract is less than $500.
In addition, an estimate may, at the discretion of the Village and upon
presentation of receipted invoices and freight bills, be made for payment of the
value of acceptable materials delivered on the Work or in acceptable storage
places and not used at the time of such estimate. Ten percent (10%) shall be
retained from the value of such materials until final payment. Such materials,
when so paid for by the Village, shall become the property of the Village, and in
the event of default by the Village, shall become the property of the Village,
and in the event of default by the Contractor, the Village may use or cause to
be used such materials in the construction of the work provided for in the
contract. The amount thus paid by the Village shall be deducted from
estimates due the Contractor as the material is used in the work.
Partial payment for work or materials shall not be construed as an acceptance
of the work or any part of it, or as a waiver of any provisions of the contract.
Partial payment will only be granted if in the opinion of the Village sufficient
labor and materials have been expended to warrant it.
If partial payments are requested, the Contractor shall submit with each
payment request a properly completed Contractor's Affidavit setting out, under
oath, the name, address and amount due or to become due, of Contractor,
each subcontractor, vendor, supplier or other appropriate party included in its
cost, and for every party listed a full or partial waiver of lien, as appropriate.
Beginning with the second payment request, and with each succeeding
payment request, the Contractor shall submit Contractor's Affidavits and partial
waivers of lien for each subcontractor and supplier showing that the amount
paid to date to each is at least equivalent to the total value of that
subcontractor's work, less retainage, included on the previous payment
request.
2.10.ACCEPTANCE AND FINAL PAYMENT. Whenever the Work shall have been
completely performed on the part of the Contractor, including Punch list items,
and all parts of the Work have been approved by the Village and accepted by
the Village, a final payment showing the value of the work will be prepared by
15
2018 Weller Creek Sediment Removal
the Contractor as soon as the necessary measurements and computations can
be made, all prior estimates upon which payments have been made being
approximate only and subject to correction in the final payment. The amount of
this estimate, less any partial or semifinal payments previously made and less
any sums that have been deducted or retained under the provisions of the
contract, will be paid to the Contractor as soon as practicable after the final
acceptance, provided the Contractor has furnished to the Village the required
maintenance bond and satisfactory evidence that all sums of money due for
any labor, materials, apparatus, fixtures or machinery furnished for the purpose
of such work have been paid or that the person or persons to whom the same
may be due have consented to such final payment.
If final payment is requested, the Contractor shall submit a properly completed
Contractor's Affidavit setting out, under oath, the name, address and amount
due or to become due, of Contractor, each subcontractor, vendor, supplier or
other appropriate party included in its cost, and a full and final waiver of lien for
the full amount of the Work, less retainage. The Contractor shall assign over to
the Village all manufacturers' and suppliers' warranties respecting any part of
the Work. The Contractor shall also deliver to the Village the required
maintenance bond prior to Final Payment and upon receipt of Final Payment a
set of Plans and Specifications annotated to show the Project "as -built."
The acceptance by the Contractor of the final payment shall constitute a
release and waiver of any and all rights and privileges under the terms of the
contract; further, the acceptance by the Contractor of final payment shall
relieve the Village from any and all claims or liabilities for anything done or
furnished relative to the Work or for any act or neglect on the part of the Village
relating to or connected with the Work.
2.11. PUNCH LIST. The Contractor shall notify the Village when it believes
substantial performance of the entire Project has been achieved. The Village,
and/or any independent consultant engaged by the Village, shall then inspect
the Project site with the Contractor, and prepare and deliver to the Contractor
within five (5) days thereafter, a written Punch list indicating items of
construction which are not in material conformity with the Contract Documents.
The Punch list items shall be completed by the Final Performance Date.

due to the Contractor an amount equal to but not greater than one and one-half

and signs. The Contractor shall leave said project sites in the best possible
condition to the complete satisfaction of the Village.

can be made.

add such incidental work as may be necessary, and increase or decrease the
quantities of work to be performed to accord with such changes, including the
deduction or cancellation of any one or more of the unit price items. Such
changes shall not be considered as a waiver of any condition of the contract
nor to invalidate any of the provisions thereof. A written change order may
apply.
All Work shall be done under the supervision of the Village's Director of Public
Works, or a designated representative who shall decide all questions which
arise as to the quality and acceptability of materials furnished, work performed,

shall fully, promptly pay for all laborers, workmen and mechanics engaged in the work under the
Contract, and not less than the general prevailing rate of hourly wages as required by the
Contract and the Illinois Prevailing Wage Act, 820 ILCS 130/1 et seq., and for all material used
or reasonably required for use in the performance of the Contract, and all duly authorized
modifications, alterations, changes or additions to said Contract as may hereafter be made, then
this obligation shall be null and void; otherwise it shall remain in full force and effect, subject to
the following conditions:.
1. A "Claimant" is defined as any person, firm or corporation having contracts with
Contractor or with a subcontractor of Contractor to furnish labor, materials, or both, for
use in the performance of the Contract. "Labor and materials" is construed to include
that part of water, gas, power, light, heat, oil, gasoline, telephone service, rental of
equipment, and any other items for which a mechanic's lien may be asserted.
2. Any person having a claim for labor and materials furnished in the performance of the
Contract shall have no right of action unless he shall have filed a verified notice of such
claim with the Village Clerk within 180 days after the date of the last items of work or the
furnishing of the last item of materials, and filed a copy of that verified notice upon the
Contractor within 10 days after the filing of the notice with the Village Clerk. Filing must
be by personal service or United States Mail, postage prepaid, certified or restricted
delivery, return receipt requested, limited to addressee. The notice shall contain 1) the
name and address of the claimant; 2) the business address of the claimant within the

Contract is to be performed; and 5) a description of Claimant's contract as it pertains to
the public improvement describing the work done by the claimant and stating the total
amount due and unpaid as of the date of the verified notice. No defect in the notice
herein provided for shall deprive the claimant of its right of action under the terms and
provision of this Bond unless it shall affirmatively appear that such defect has prejudiced
the rights of an interested party asserting the same.
3. No action shall be brought on this Bond later than one year after the date of the last item
of work or of the furnishing of the last item of materials. Such suit shall be brought only in
the circuit court of the State in the judicial district in which the Contract is to be
performed.
4. The Village shall not be liable for the payment of any costs or expenses of any such
lawsuit, and the Village does not have any obligations to any Claimants who make
claims on this Bond. Surety will pay for all such claims, and for all costs and expenses
of any such lawsuit, up to a maximum of the amount of this Bond.
Surety hereby expressly agrees that no extension of time, change, modification, alteration,
deletion, or addition to the undertakings, covenants, terms, conditions, and agreements of the
Contract, or to the work to be performed thereunder, shall in any way affect the obligation of this
Bond; and it does hereby waive notice of any such extension of time, change, modification,
alteration, deletion, or addition to the undertakings, covenants, terms, conditions, and
agreements of the Contract, or to the work to be performed thereunder.
Surety's obligations hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other surety for the
payment of claims of laborers, workmen, mechanics, material suppliers, and other persons in
connection with the Contract; and suit may be brought against Surety and such other sureties,
jointly and severally, or against any one or more of them, or against less than all of them without
impairing the Village's rights against the others. Any payment by the Surety made in good faith
pursuant to this Bond shall reduce the principal amount of this Bond.
