TRANSMITTAL LETTER FOR BOARD MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 15, 2016
COMMITTEE ON PROCUREMENT
Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Title
Authority to advertise Contract 16-608-21 Furnish and Deliver Concrete Erosion Control Block Mats to SEPA 4, estimated cost $80,000.00, Account 201-50000-645600, Requisition 1430718
Body
Dear Sir:
Contract documents and specifications have been prepared to furnish and deliver concrete erosion control block mats to SEPA 4, at the request of the Maintenance and Operations Department.
The purpose of this contract is to procure 2,000 linear feet of eight-foot wide articulated concrete mats for the Sidestream Elevated Pool Aeration Station 4, in Worth, IL. Currently at SEPA 4, gabion baskets are used to retain riprap along the shoreline, so that it does not erode. The gabion baskets, which are made from wire mesh, have corroded over time and are failing, allowing the riprap to fall into the Cal-Sag channel. The new concrete erosion control block mats will be installed to replace both the failing gabion baskets and associated riprap.
The estimated cost for this 2016 contract is $80,000.00.
The bid deposit for this contract is $4,000.00.
The Affirmative Action Ordinance, Revised Appendix D, and the Multi-Project Labor Agreement (MPLA) are not applicable to this contract, because it is primarily a furnish and deliver contract.
The tentative schedule for this contract is as follows:
Advertise October 19, 2016
Bid Opening November 8, 2016
Award December 1, 2016
Completion December 31, 2016
Funds are available in Account 201-50000-645600.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to advertise Contract 16-608-21.
Requested, John P. Murray, Acting Director of Maintenance and Operations, BAP:SO’C:MAG:JR:SSG
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Procurement
