Summary
The committee approved a pipelining repair for a sinkhole at 8906 Smithville Road using a cured-in-place method; the low bidder JC Dillon of Peoria submitted a $29,751 bid and the board voted unanimously to award the contract.
The committee voted to award a cured-in-place pipelining contract to repair a long-standing sinkhole problem at 8906 Smithville Road. County staff said the project originally was designed several years ago as a deep corrugated-pipe storm-service installation with an initial estimate of about $400,000 but was repeatedly delayed by higher-priority bridge projects. Staff recommended a cured-in-place pipelining approach to reduce disruption and cost. Three bids were received; JC Dillon of Peoria was the low bidder at $29,751. Staff said the pipelining project will proceed quickly and minimize disruption to residents. The committee motion to put the resolution on the floor was made by Betty and seconded by Terry; the motion carried unanimously, 8–0.
