INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: VILLAGE MANAGER MICHAEL E. JANONIS
FROM: SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS & BUILDINGS
DATE: APRIL 25, 2011
SUBJECT: ACCEPT BID FOR 2011 & 2012 CRACK SEALING PROGRAM
(NOT TO EXCEED $58,448)
BACKGROUND
As part of our annual preventive street maintenance program we typically select streets that have
been paved in the last 4 -5 years for crack sealing. At 4 -5 years, the pavement develops
transverse and longitudinal cracks, which are sealed to prevent further deterioration of the
pavement, thereby extending the life of the street. The program is no longer available through
the NWMC. This is the third year we have let our own cracking sealing contract with IDOT's
approval since we will be using Motor Fuel Tax money for funding.
BID RESULTS
Sealed bids were opened at 1:00 P.M. on April 18, 2011 for the 2011& 2012 Crack Sealing
Contract. Four invitational bids were mailed, and a bid notice was placed in the local paper.
Also because State of Illinois Motor Fuel tax money is funding a portion of these services, IDOT
also advertised this bid in the IDOT bulletin.
Four bids were received, and bid results are as follows:
Bidder
North Suburban Asphalt Maintenance, Park Ridge, IL
Denler, Inc., Mokena, IL
Behm Pavement Maintenance, Inc., Crystal Lake, IL
SKC Construction, Inc, West Dundee, IL

2011 Crack Sealing Award
April 25, 2011
DISCUSSION
North Suburban Asphalt Maintenance has previously performed our crack sealing contract and
they completed the work satisfactorily. The bids received were based on estimated quantities
which will be adjusted so the total expenditure does not exceed the budgeted amount.
There is $58,448 of funds available for crack sealing in this year's budget. In 2008 the North
West Municipal Conference contractor defaulted, thereby creating a year's back log of streets
that are due for crack sealing. We are requesting to use the total budgeted amount for 2011 to
reduce the back log of streets that need to be sealed.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend acceptance of the lowest bid as submitted by North Suburban Asphalt Maintenance
for an amount not to exceed $58,448.00.
