The two main purposes of the street reconstruction pmject are (1)to increase the useful life of a <br /> pavement in advance of its deteriorating to a condition that would require the complete <br /> replacement of the street; and (2)to improve the street's ride ability. Mill and overlay work <br /> requires a sound pavement substructure so candidate streets are not selected on a`�vorst first" <br /> basis but rather on a"life extension" basis. This year's program includes approximately 5.0 <br /> centerline miles of streets in the City. A listing of streets in this year's project is attached. <br /> The project plans and specifications were prepared by Engineering Division staff. The project <br /> was advertised May 13, 2009, and bids were opened June 1, 2009. The results for the letting are <br /> as follows: <br /> Compared to <br /> Engineer's Est. <br /> Bidder Bid Price Over(-Under) <br /> Engineer's Estimate $601,764.38 ---- <br /> Dunn Company, A <br /> Division of Tyrolt, Inc. $735,311.16 22.19% <br /> Illinois Valley Paving Co. $778,287.35 29.33% <br /> Dunn Company is in compliance with the City's Responsible Bidder's Ordinance and has <br /> complied with the Illinois Prevailing Wage Act for many years. Dunn provided the low bid for <br /> the proposed work and has performed this work well in past years. In spite of the work <br /> Engineering staff puts in to stay in touch with the price of materials, particularly petroleum based <br /> materials, the volatile market provided bids higher than those anticipated by staff. The unit <br /> prices provided for the work are in line with current market rates.
