Letting Results <br /> The project scope and specifications were prepared by the Engineering Division. The project was <br /> advertised on June 29, 2016, and bids were opened on July 20, 2016. The results of the letting are <br /> as follows (bid tabulation attached): <br /> Bidder Base Bid Alternate Bid Total Bid Compared to <br /> Price Price Price Engineer's Est. <br /> Over (Under) <br /> R.W. Dunteman $896,317.96 $81,796.64 $978,114.60 (6.17%) <br /> Engineer's Estimate $958,150.49 $84,254.18 $1,042,404.67 ------ <br /> Two contractors took out bid packages for the Local MFT Street Improvement Asphalt Project, and <br /> two submitted bids. One of the bids was non-responsive. R.W. Dunteman provided the lowest <br /> responsible bid at 6.17% below the engineer's estimate. A majar reason the bid came in low was <br /> that asphalt related items came in at a lower price compared to last year, and the City relies on <br /> previous year prices and market trends to estimate costs. The alternate bid price is for all work <br /> associated with Forest Avenue in case the bid prices came in high. Since all of the bid prices came <br /> in lower than expected, Forest Avenue will be a part of this project and the total bid price will be <br /> awarded as part of this contract. R.W. Dunteman has not done work for the City in the past but they <br /> have completed asphalt projects satisfactorily with the State of Illinois, City of Wheaton, Illinois, <br /> Village of Glen Ellyn, Illinois, and other Chicago area towns. In Central Illinois they have <br /> completed projects for the Illinois Department of Transportation. <br /> Contractors for City Projects shall comply with City Code Chapter 28, Article 10, "Minority <br /> Participation Goals for Public Works Contracts." <br /> Contractors for City projects shall make a good faith effort to comply with the following minimum <br /> goals: <br /> 1. Ten (10) percent of the total dollar amount of the contract should be performed by Minority <br /> Business Enterprises if subcontracting opportunities are available; and, <br /> 2. Eighteen (18) percent of the total hours worked should be performed by minority workers. <br /> Dunteman meets the minority business goals and proposes utilizing 10.2% minority subcontractors. <br /> SCHEDULE: <br /> Following approval of the contract by the City Council work on this project shall begin after a <br /> "Notice to Proceed"has been issued from the City. The Asphalt Street Improvement project is <br /> scheduled to be complete by October 28, 2016. A final project report will be prepared for Council <br /> at the conclusion of the project. <br /> �3 � <br />
