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 2024 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project will complete the portions of 2023 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation
Project which was bid as an alternate item but not awarded in 2023. The Project consists of the rehabilitation of the
City’s sanitary collection system using trenchless technologies to address structural defects and infiltration issues.
The Project scope includes the lining of approximately 1,820 lineal feet of 8” sanitary sewer and rehabilitating 130
sanitary sewer structures 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 in 2023 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 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 the fall of 2024.
RJN prepared the construction plans and bid specifications for this Project, which was separated into two parts due
to increased inflationary costs of materials used for sewer lining. The Base Bid includes 1,820 feet of sewer lining;
and 130 manhole rehabilitations and Alternate Bid #1 consists of an additional 500 feet of sewer lining and 14
manhole replacements. The Project was advertised in the Daily Herald and on QuestCDN, an online bidding
platform on July 17, 2024, with a bid opening on August 7, 2024. The bid results are as follows:
CONTRACTOR BASE BID ALTERNATE BID #1 BASE BID RANK
Hoerr Construction, Inc. $432,110.00 $138,503.00 1
Performance Pipelining, Inc. $448,450.00 $ 121,743.00 2
Engineer's Estimate $455,750.50 $142,927,80 N/A
The FY 2024 budget includes $500,000.00 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 five percent lower than the engineer’s estimate.
Due to budgetary restrictions, staff recommends selecting Hoerr Construction’s Base Bid and rejecting Alternate
Bid #1 for the Project.
City staff and RJN have both had a positive experience working with Hoerr Construction on previous projects with
similar scope in various other municipalities in the region (including City’s 2023 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation
Project).
