$4,550,131.08
Water and Sewer Enterprise Fund
Action Item
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 continue a multi-year process of reducing the life expectancy
of water mains to 130 years. The improvements will increase the reliability and
sustainability of the water distribution system. Analysis performed during the Water Rater
Study indicated that the Village's former rate of water main renewal approached 600 years.
This project includes the replacement of 12,221 feet of existing 6" water main. The
locations include Emmerson; Debbie; Jerry; Lancaster Avenue from Lonnquist Boulevard to
Golf Road; Elm Street from Highland Avenue to Thayer Street; School Street from Gregory
Street to Central Road and Owen Street from Gregory Street to Central Road.
The project includes 35 new valves in vaults, 37 new fire hydrants, 297 water service
reconnections, abandonment of existing 6" water main and requisite surface restoration.
The Village's engineering consultant for this project, IMEG Corporation, prepared detailed
plans, specifications and bidding documents necessary to facilitate contractual performance
of this work.
The bid documents were sent to five (5) area firms who have experience in water main
replacement projects and to all firms that previously bid on past water main replacement
1
project. In addition, the bid was publicly advertised on the Village's website utilizing
Demandstar Bid services.
On Tuesday, February 21, 2023 a non -mandatory pre-bid meeting was held with four (4)
contractors attending along with representatives from the Village and IMEG Corporation.
Based on inquires, one (1) addendum was issued to clarify the substantial and final
completion dates.
On Monday, February 27, 2023 the bids were publicly opened and read as required by
Village Code. The following six (6) firm's submitted bids (ranked from lowest dollars).
Contractor
Gerardi Sewer & Water Co.
(Addison)

$4,112,732.80 $23,750.00
$4,679,865.00 $50,000.00
$4,919,025.00 $40,500.00
$5,705,931.00 $37,500.00
$6,073,779.46 $50,000.00
$6,725,947.00 $74,000.00
Engineer's Estimate - Base bid $4,358,339.00. With Alternate 1 - $4,408,339.00
All bids were reviewed to ensure that the documents had all appropriate signatures, and
bid security. All bids were submitted with requisite documents, security, and signatures on
the addendum.
Based on the review of the bids, reference checks and past projects, the lowest responsible
bidder is Gerardi Sewer & Water Company of Addison, Illinois (Gerardi). A bid tabulation is
attached.
Gerardi Sewer & Water Company successfully completed the Villages 2022 water main
replacement project with no issues.
Reference checks indicated that Gerardi has also satisfactorily completed similar water
main replacement work in other communities. In 2020 and 2021, Gerardi has completed
projects similar scale and scope of work for the Village of Oakbrook. Notably, the firm
completed a multi-year water main replacement project worth $7 million. The project
ended up $2.7 million under budget and was completed a year ahead of schedule.
2
The firm also completed a large scale water main replacement project for the City of
Elmhurst where they recently completed a $3.1 million water main replacement project.
Included in the project was one (1) alternate bid item. The alternate bid item is for
replacing lead water service lines found within the project scope all the way to the meter
located inside the house. Village staff has been working on a lead service line inventory
throughout the project scope and have identified only one lead service line located on North
Owen Street.
Since the project includes underground work, there is a possibility of unforeseen repairs.
Staff is requesting a 10% contingency ($413,648.28) to address any of these unforeseen
issues should they arise. A 10% contingency would bring the project award total to
$4,550,131.08 (the $4,112,732.80 base bid plus the $23,750.00 alternate bid #1 plus the
10% contingency of $413,648.28 = $4,550,131.08).
Alternatives
1. Accept the lowest cost, responsive bid for the 2023 Water Main Replacement Project.
2. Action at the discretion of the Village Board.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Village Board accept the lowest cost, responsive bid for the
2023 Water Main Replacement Project in an amount not to exceed $4,550,131.08.

to pay Surety more than the balance of the contract price.

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.

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.

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

subcontractor and supplier showing that the amount paid to date to each is at least

Contractor shall also deliver to the Village the required maintenance prior to Final
