ITEM SUMMARY:
In August 2018, Kenny Construction Company was hired to rehabilitate approximately 15,830 lineal feet of the
City’s sanitary collection system, primarily through the use of trenchless technologies, to address structural defects
and infiltration problems; known as the 2018 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project. Works addressed segments of
the City’s existing sanitary sewer mains within the area generally bounded by the Wisconsin Central Tracks, Illinois
Route 59, Washington Street and Grandlake Boulevard; and within the area known as the Alta Vista Subdivision,
generally described as the area between Town Road and the Wisconsin Central Railroad Tracks, and between
Illinois Route 38 (Roosevelt Road) and Washington Street.
Under separate contract with the City, on Monday, September 17, 2018, the City Council approved Resolution No.
18-R-0076 authorizing the Mayor to execute a contract with RUN Group, Inc. of Wheaton, Illinois, for engineering
construction oversight services related to the 2018 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project for an amount not to
exceed $44,900.00. RJN’s main priority was to represent the City’s interests, coordinate with Kenny Construction,
and provide project management and construction oversight services to ensure that work conducted by Kenny
Construction Company and its subcontractors was completed in accordance with project schedules and
specifications.
During the project, Kenny experienced difficulties with its subcontractor(s) which resulted in substantial project
delays; which resulted in the need for RUN Group to provide additional unplanned project management and
construction oversight services. The additional engineering services resulted in an overall RUN contract cost
increase of $19,921.21, bringing the total Contract amount to $64,821.21.
Accepting responsibility for its subcontractor(s), project delays, and additional costs incurred by the City for RUN’s
services, Kenny Construction Company provided a credit to the City in the amount of $25,000.00 on its final
invoice for the 2018 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project.
/ ACTIONS PROPOSED:
Approve Change Order No. 1 and Final to the Contract with RUN Group, Inc. of Wheaton, Illinois, for additional
project management and construction oversight services related to the 2018 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project,
for a total addition to the Contract of $19,921.21.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The Infrastructure Committee voted 6-0 for approval.
