ITEM SUMMARY:
The 2023 Sidewalk and Curb Maintenance Program will consist of intermittent removal and replacement
of approximately 3,700 square feet of sidewalk and 200 linear feet of curb and gutter at various locations
throughout the City. The Program also includes construction of aggregate base course for ground
stabilization, inlet adjustments, detectable warning installation, tree root pruning, and restoration items,
including hot-mix-asphalt and concrete driveway replacements, pavement patching, and sodding.
The request for bids was advertised in the Daily Herald and on an online bidding platform, QuestCDN, on
March 7, 2023, with bid opening on March 28, 2023. The bid results are as follows:
Bidder Bid Amount Overall Rank
Schroeder & Schroeder, Inc. $96,660.00 1
Davis Concrete Construction Co. $114,330.00 2
Alliance Contractors, Inc. $173,800.00 3
Engineer's Estimate $100,082.80 N/A
Schroder & Schroeder, Inc. (S&S) of Skokie, Illinois, submitted the lowest responsible bid of $96,660.00,
which is approximately three percent lower than the engineer's estimated cost of $100,082.80. The City
has previously contracted with S&S to perform similar work in the past, including the 2022 Sidewalk and
Curb Maintenance Program. All projects were completed satisfactorily. Additionally, S&S is a registered
prequalified contractor with the Illinois Department of Transportation.
The FY 2023 budget includes $125,000.00 under the Capital Project Funds Account No. 08-34-53-4863
for the Program. However, to offset the increased construction cost for the 2023 Sophia Street Area
Water Main and Streets Rehabilitation Project, the scope of the 2023 Sidewalk and Curb Maintenance
Program was reduced to $100,000.00, which was presented and approved by the City Council on March
20, 2023.
Staff recommends awarding the contract to Schroder & Schroeder, Inc. of Skokie, Illinois, for the 2023
Sidewalk and Curb Maintenance Program, for an amount not to exceed $96,660.00.
ACTIONS PROPOSED:
Approve Resolution No. 23-R-0038 authorizing the Mayor to execute a construction contract with
Schroeder & Schroeder, Inc. of Skokie, Illinois, for the 2023 Sidewalk and Curb Maintenance Program in
an amount not to exceed $96,660.00
