Village reissues fleet floor‑coating contract after prior contractor failed work; new contract capped at $53,000
Summary
The board authorized a contract to Flawless Epoxy Inc. of Plainfield not to exceed $53,000 to remove and replace substandard floor coating in fleet areas after the original contractor's subcontractor performed poorly and was unpaid; staff said work should take about a week once started.
Hoffman Estates trustees on Sept. 15 authorized a contract to Flawless Epoxy Incorporated of Plainfield, Illinois, for fleet services floor coating rehabilitation in an amount not to exceed $53,000.
"We actually approved this item a while back, and the contractor's performance was substandard," said Joe (Public Works staff member). "They hired a subcontractor that did a very poor job, halted the contract, haven't paid them at all and ended the contract. And now we're rebidding it, with the hope that they can take off the coating that was put down and then put a new coating in."
Joe said the new contractor has performed smaller jobs for the village previously and the current bid disallows subcontractors. "Once they start, it shouldn't take about a week probably to complete the job," he told trustees.
The finance and public works committees moved the item forward and the board approved the authorization by roll call vote. Staff said no funds had been paid to the prior contractor and the village terminated that contract for nonperformance; no further legal or collection details were provided at the meeting.
Action taken: authorization to award a floor coating rehabilitation contract to Flawless Epoxy Inc. for not to exceed $53,000. The board did not approve additional contingency funding or a revised timeline beyond staff's estimate that work would take approximately one week once mobilized.
