ITEM SUMMARY:
On November 22, 2019, the City's 10” diameter watermain broke at 700 E. Roosevelt Road, West Chicago, IL,
within the equipment/material storage yard of Grant and Power Landscaping, Inc.. The watermain at this location,
which needed to be immediately repaired, is approximately 20’ deep, is located in a side yard easement area,
directly serves the properties at 700 E. Roosevelt Road and 1425 S. Neltnor Boulevard, and is part of the looped
watermain system supplying City water to all incorporated properties southeast of the Roosevelt Road (Iilinois
Route 38) and Neltnor Boulevard (Illinois Route 59) intersection (including Currier Elementary School). Due to the
depth of the watermain, unstable soil conditions, and limitations on City-owned equipment, the City hired Tri-
County Excavating to assist with the repair, which occurred between November 22, 2019 and December 7, 2019.
The cost for the watermain repair and restoration totaled $156,557.94. That portion of work which exceeded the
City Administrator's spending authority was related to services provided by Tri-County Excavating, Inc. which
totaled $72,942.10. Please see the attached Memorandum titled “Watermain Repair 700 E. Roosevelt Road’,
dated January 22, 2020, from Rocky Horvath, Utility Superintendent, for additional details.
Staff will be submitting documents to IRMA to see if this emergency repair is covered via insurance.
| ACTIONS PROPOSED:
Approve the City Administrator's emergency purchase of services to repair the watermain break at 700 E.
Roosevelt Road between November 22, 2019, and December 7, 2019, with Tri-County Excavating, Inc., in the
amount of $72,942.10.
