Staff asks trustees to rescind curb contract award and piggyback alternate bidder to keep schedule
Summary
Staff asked trustees to rescind an earlier July award to Melby Belita for North Everest Avenue curb replacement because the contractor cannot meet the timeline, and to award the work to Palladino using a piggyback contract; staff said Palladino could start in about a week to 1.5 weeks at a modestly higher price.
Staff reminded trustees that the board awarded a curb-replacement contract in July to Melby Belita for North Everest Avenue but said the contractor cannot perform within the desired timeline. "We're asking you tonight to consider to rescind the award back on track, because the company cannot perform it within the timeline that we wanted," Speaker 2 said.
Staff reported they identified an alternate contractor, Palladino, through a piggyback contract other communities had used; Village counsel and staff reviewed the warranty and contract language. "As of this afternoon, we found out that he could start in about a week or a week and a half if we board it into contract," Speaker 2 said, noting the price may be approximately $70 higher (per linear unit or other bid metric referenced in the audio) but likely competitive compared with potential change orders from the original low bidder.
Speaker 3 said the village could not directly select the next-highest bidder from the original VOC procurement because the village did not run that procurement. Staff asked trustees to rescind the original award and authorize staff to execute a piggyback award to Palladino so work can proceed and the road resurfacing sequence remains on schedule.
