VILLAGE MANAGER MICHAEL E. JANONIS
PROJECT ENGINEER
MARCH 5, 2013
SUBJECT: 2013 STREET RESURFACING CONTRACT AWARD - $2,489,304.15
Background
The goal of the Village's Street Resurfacing Program is to maintain an average 20 -year life for
all Village streets. This requires that 6.8 miles of Village streets are resurfaced on a yearly basis.
However, due to the continued decline in street improvement funds and MFT funds, this year's
program was reduced from 6.8 miles to approximately 5.3 miles. Again this year we also
combined both the MFT funded program and the Village Street Improvement funded program
into one project in order to secure an early and more favorable bid.
Bids Results
A notice to bidders was published in a local newspaper. Since this project uses MFT funds it
was also published in the IDOT construction bulletin.
On February 25th, at 1:00 PM. sealed bids for the 2013 Street Resurfacing Program were
publicly opened and read aloud.
Five general contractors picked up the bid documents and three contractors submitted bids. The
bids ranged from a low of $2,253,322.00 by Arrow Road Construction Company, to a high of
$2,783,403.10 by Johnson Paving. The Engineer's estimate for the project is $2,409,726.00.
Below is a summary of the bids.
Bidders Total Bid
Arrow Road Construction Co. $2,253,322.00
A Lamp Concrete Contractors, Inc $2,470,220.50
Johnson Paving Co. $2,783,403.10
Engineer's Estimate $2,409,72600

2013 STREET RESURFACING CONTRACT AWARD
MARCH 5, 2013
Discussion
All bidders submitted IDOT Local Agency Bid Bonds in the amount of 5% of their total bids as
required by the Bid Documents. All bids were checked for accuracy. All bidders correctly
signed their bids and bid bonds. The low bidder, Arrow Road Construction Co. has previously
completed street improvements for the Village which included the 2011 and 2012 Street
Resurfacing Programs. Arrow Road's work was acceptable.
The Village budget limit for this project is $2,489,304.15. This year's bid unit prices are less
than what I anticipated in preparing my estimate and the low bid of Arrow Road is less than the
amount budgeted. Therefore, I recommend that we take advantage of the lower than anticipated
unit prices and add additional work up to the budgeted amount of $2,489,304.15.
Recommendation
I recommend that the low bidder, Arrow Road Construction Co. be awarded the contract for the
2013 Street Resurfacing Program in the amount not to exceed $2,489,304.15. There are
sufficient funds in the 2013 Budget to cover this proposed contract.
