ITEM SUMMARY:
The Special Service Area#2 detention basin is located on the west side of Kress Creek south of Hawthorne Lane.
The property the basin is on appears to be owned by the West Chicago Park District. The outfall appears to be on
the City’s property northwest of its Water Treatment Plant Facility. The outfall is for the storm lift station #8 which
was originally constructed in 1984. The detention basin outfall into Kress Creek has failed and needs to be
replaced. Additionally, erosion is occurring within the ditch north of Hawthorne Lane. The ditch north of Hawthorne
Lane is mapped as Kress Creek. Drawings are available that show the ditch north of Hawthorne Lane, however it
appears to have existed prior to these drawings, as early as 1939. Therefore, this area will be considered
jurisdictional by DuPage County and the United Stated Army Corp of Engineers (USACE).
The City hired Engineering Resource Associates (ERA) to help prepare the plans and bid specifications in March
2021. ERA was also tasked with obtaining permits through DuPage County as well USACE for the in-stream work.
The scope of work includes repairing the fallen storm outfall, installation of vegetated rock toe on either side of
Kress Creek both north and south of Hawthorne lane as well as planting a seed mix conducive to high and low
water levels. The plantings will also require three years of maintenance and monitoring to meet permit
requirements.
The request for bids was advertised in the Daily Herald and on an online bidding platform QuestCDN on July 5,
2022. The bids were opened on July 26, 2022. The below table represents the bid results.

The City has not previously worked with V3 Construction Group; however, ERA has worked with them on multiple
different successful projects with positive outcome. Staff's recommendation is to award the contract for this project
to V3 Construction Group, LTD for a contract amount not to exceed $83,830.00.
The cost of this project will be paid using Sewer Fund (05-34-40-4806) where $78,500.00 has been budgeted for
this project in 2022; there are sufficient funds within the Sewer Fund to cover the difference between the budgeted
amount and the lowest bid price.
