ITEM SUMMARY:

The 2026 Concrete Maintenance Program  will consist of intermittent removal and replacement of
sidewalks, curb and gutters, landscape block retaining wall, and concrete alleyway pavement in the
rights-of-way 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
February 3, 2026, with the bid opening on February 24, 2026. The bid results are as follows:

                        Bidder                  Bid Amount       Overall Rank
                  Strada Construction Co.           $143,310.50           1
               Schroeder & Schroeder, Inc.          $179,700.00           2
           Davis Concrete Construction Company     $185,359.00           3
                   Alliance Contractors, Inc.           $355,071.70           4
                  Engineer’s Estimate             $147,444.28          N/A

Strada  Construction Co.  (Strada)  of  Addison,  Illinois,  submitted  the  lowest  responsible  bid  of
$143,310.50, which is $4,133.78 or approximately 2.8% lower than the engineer’s estimated cost of
$147,444.28. Strada satisfactorily completed the City’s 2024 Sidewalk and Curb Maintenance Program
and 2025 Concrete Maintenance Program, which were of a similar size and scope. Additionally, Strada is
a registered prequalified contractor with the Illinois Department of Transportation.

The FY 2026 budget includes $155,000.00 under Account No. 08-34-53-4863 for the Program. There are
additional sidewalks and curb and gutter 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 budget.
To take advantage of the favorable bid pricing, staff is recommending awarding the contract to Strada
Construction Co. of Addison, Illinois, for the 2026 Concrete Maintenance Program, for an amount not to
exceed $155,000.00.

ACTIONS PROPOSED:

Approve Resolution No. 26-R-0021 authorizing the Mayor to execute a contract with Strada Construction
Co. of Addison,  Illinois, for the 2026 Concrete Maintenance Program in an amount not to exceed
$155,000.00.
