ITEM SUMMARY:
On June 2, 2022, the Infrastructure Committee recommend that staff continue the Sanitary Sewer Evaluation
Survey and address the defects identified as part of the survey via cured in place pipe, manhole lining, and five
feet of lateral lining within the public rights-of-way and easements.
The 2023 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project consists of the rehabilitation of the City’s sanitary collection system
using trenchless technologies to address structural defects and infiltration issues. The Project consists of lining
approximately 4,500 lineal feet of 8” sanitary sewer in the Roosevelt Highlands Subdivision, which is generally the
area between Illinois Route 59 and Gates Street, and between Dayton Avenue and Forest Avenue. The Project
location was previously identified by RJN Group, the design engineering firm, as a location of high inflow and
infiltration. The project is proposed in a largely residential area and contains some of the City’s oldest sanitary
sewers made of a vitrified clay pipe. Most of the sanitary sewers in the Roosevelt Highlands Subdivision are
located in backyard public easements. A large portion of the sanitary sewer segments in this area are obstructed
by severe root intrusion, offset pipe joints, and faulty service lateral connections to the mainline sanitary sewer.
The project is scheduled to commence in spring 2023.
RJN prepared the construction plans and bid specifications for this Project, which was separated into three parts
due to upward inflationary pressure on the costs of materials used for sewer lining. The Base Bid includes 4,500
feet of sewer lining; Alternate Bid #1 consists of manhole rehabilitation and Alternate Bid #2 consists of an
additional 2,050 feet of sewer lining. The Project was advertised in the Daily Herald and on QuestCDN, an online
bidding platform on March 8, 2023, with a bid opening on March 28, 2023. The bid results are as follows:
ALTERNATE ALTERNATE
CONTRACTOR BASE BID BID #1 BID #2 BASE BID RANK
Hoerr Construction, Inc. $561,800.00 $197,602.13 $245,515.00 1
Performance Pipelining, Inc. $565,740.00 $207,356.00 $261,362.00 2
Engineer's Estimate $578,815.00 $230,350.00 $266, 100.00 N/A
The FY 2023 budget includes $600,000.00 under the Sewer Funds Account No. 05-34-43-4410 for both the
Construction and Construction Engineering Services of the Project. Hoerr Construction, Inc. of Goodfield, Illinois,
submitted the lowest responsible Base Bid, which is approximately three percent lower than the engineer's
estimate. Due to budgetary restrictions, staff recommends selecting Hoerr Construction’s Base Bid and rejecting
Alternate Bid #1 and Alternate Bid #2 for the Project.
RJN had a positive experience working with Hoerr Construction on previous projects with similar scope in various
other municipalities in the region and recommends awarding the Project to Hoerr Construction.
