2012 CDBG Sidewalk Program
July 10, 2012
Discussion
The low bidder, Copenhaver Construction, Inc., is prequalified by the Illinois Department of
Transportation for concrete construction projects. They meet the requirements of the contract documents
and completed the 2010 Shared Cost Sidewalk Program with the Village and their workmanship was
good.
Since the Contractor's bid is based on estimated quantities, I recommend a 10% contingency of $4,118 be
added to the proposed contract. This amount would be used to cover the cost of unanticipated
construction issues and final measured installed quantities. The revised total contract award would be
$45,304.
Recommendation
I recommend the low bidder, Copenhaver Construction, Inc. of Gilberts, IL, be awarded the contract for
the 2012 CDBG Sidewalk Program in the amount not to exceed $45,304. There are sufficient funds in
the 2012 Budget to cover this proposed contract.
Please include this item on the July 17` Village Board Meeting Agenda.
