2014 CDBG Sidewalk Program
June 25, 2014
Copenhaver Construction, Inc. has completed projects, including the installation of sidewalk, for the
Village in previous years and has completed them to the satisfaction of the Village.
Since the contractor's bid is based on estimated quantities, I recommend the contract be awarded to the
available budget amount of $70,000.00 to allow for contingency in the contract quantities.
Recommendation
I recommend the low bidder, Copenhaver Construction, Inc. of Gilberts, IL, be awarded the contract for
the 2014 CDBG Sidewalk Program in the amount not to exceed $70,000.00. There are sufficient funds in
the 2014 Budget to cover this proposed contract.
Please include this item on the July I" Village Board Meeting Agenda.
