ITEM SUMMARY:
The 2025 Concrete Maintenance Program will consist of intermittent removal and replacement of
sidewalks, curb and gutters, and concrete alleyway pavement at various locations throughout the City.
This annual Program also includes the construction of an 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
April 1, 2025, with the bid opening on April 22, 2025. The bid results are as follows:
Bidder Bid Amount Overall Rank
Strada Construction Co. $66,869.00 1
Schroeder & Schroeder, Inc. $94,530.00 2
Alliance Contractors, Inc. $146,900.00 3
Engineer’s Estimate $99,391.45 N/A
Strada Construction Co. (Strada) of Addison, Illinois, submitted the lowest responsible bid of $66,869.00,
which is $32,522.45 or approximately 33% lower than the engineer’s estimated cost of $99,391.45.
Strada satisfactorily completed the City’s 2024 Sidewalk and Curb Maintenance Program, which was of a
similar size and scope. Additionally, Strada is a registered prequalified contractor with the Illinois
Department of Transportation.
The FY 2025 budget includes $155,000.00 under Account No. 08-34-53-4863 for the Program. However,
$55,000.00 was reallocated to cover the overage in the 2025 Bishop Street and Brown Street Water Main
and Streets Rehabilitation Project, leaving $100,000.00 budgeted for the 2025 Concrete Maintenance
Program.
There are more sidewalk, curb, and concrete alleyway repairs throughout the City that can be included in
this Program, but staff elected to bid a conservative amount of quantity to ensure the bid does not exceed
the remaining budget. To take advantage of the favorable bid pricing and to address additional sidewalk,
curb, and concrete alleyway repairs throughout the City, staff is recommending awarding the contract to
Strada Construction Co. of Addison, Illinois, for the 2025 Concrete Maintenance Program, for an amount
not to exceed $100,000.00.
ACTIONS PROPOSED:
Approve Resolution No. 25-R-0036 authorizing the Mayor to execute a construction contract with Strada
