ITEM SUMMARY:
On June 2, 2022, the Infrastructure Committee recommended that staff discontinue the annual Sanitary Sewer
Evaluation Survey (SSES) and put these funds toward addressing the defects identified in previous SSES Studies
using methods of trenchless rehabilitation, manhole lining, and five feet of lateral lining within the public rights-of-
way and easements.
The 2025 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project (Project) will include a trenchless method of installing cured-in-
place pipe (CIPP) inside 2556’ of 27” sewer along Roosevelt Road. This sewer is part of the sanitary sewer
interceptor that flows directly to the wastewater treatment plant. The Project will occur generally from 243 W
Roosevelt Road to the intersection of Roosevelt Road and Bishop Street. The Project location was previously
identified during prior SSES studies by RUN Group, as a location of inflow and infiltration. The Project is proposed
in a largely commercial/residential area. The sanitary sewer within project limits is made of concrete pipe.
Traditionally, the City has contracted with an engineering firm for bidding and construction oversite of this type of
Project. To reduce costs and maximize the rehabilitation budget, staff reviewed various options for the City’s
Project including joint bidding and cooperative purchasing. Joint bidding is when two or more governmental entities
or departments collaborate to submit a single bid for a project, often to combine resources and potentially lower
costs. Cooperative purchasing, like joint bidding involves multiple local government entities pooling their resources
and purchasing power to buy goods and services at lower prices through pre-negotiated contracts. These
approaches leverage the collective buying power of multiple agencies, allowing them to access better pricing and
terms. One such a national joint purchasing cooperative is OMNIA. Its purpose and objective is designed to provide
benefits and efficiencies by complying with state bidding requirements in identifying qualified vendors of
commodities, goods and services.
The County of DuPage, IL Department of Procurement issued RFP 23-065-PW on October 19, 2023, to establish a
national cooperative contract for Trenchless Rehabilitation and Maintenance of Pipeline Infrastructure through
OMNIA Cooperative Purchasing (executive summary attached). On November 28, 2023, proposals were received
from three vendors. The proposals were evaluated by an evaluation committee. Using the evaluation criteria
established in the RFP, the committee elected to enter negotiations with Hoerr Construction, Inc. and proceeded
with contract award upon successful completion of negotiations. The contract award is for an initial three-year
agreement from February 13, 2024, through February 12, 2027, with the option to renew for two (2) one-year
periods through February 12, 2029. The prices established in this contract are available to other government
agencies. It should be noted, Hoerr Construction, Inc. has completed similar projects for the City in 2023 and 2024
with satisfactory performance.
After reviewing the cooperative purchasing option, staff determined the bid specifications prepared by County of
DuPage meets industry standards and conform with the City’s Project. The City will be using the following items for
its Project.
* CIPP (gravity & pressure)
* Cleaning & Televising
* Grouting
* T-Lining & Lateral Lining
