Itasca board approves extensions for pipelining and manhole rehab contracts, removes Maple Street work for separate bid
Summary
The Itasca Village Board approved extensions of two public‑works contracts — Performance Pipelining Inc. (cured‑in‑place pipelining) up to $138,700 and Kim Construction Company (sanitary manhole rehabilitation) up to $173,130 — and directed staff to rebid a removed Maple Street scope separately.
The Itasca Village Board on Oct. 21 approved extensions for two related sanitary‑sewer contracts, keeping unit prices from 2024 and deferring one Maple Street component for separate competitive bidding.
Trustee Ianni presented the items as budgeted, previously‑bid work designed to reduce inflow and infiltration in the village sanitary‑sewer system. The board heard that Performance Pipelining Inc. agreed to hold its 2024 unit pricing for the cured‑in‑place pipelining portion of the project, with an authorization not to exceed $138,700.
Carrie Ann (village staff) and Mark (engineering staff) explained that an additional Maple Street component originally considered for the contract was removed from the extension because it had not been competitively bid; staff said they will solicit separate quotes for that segment to seek better pricing. "We are only moving forward with the components that were previously competitively bid and extending at, at the exact same pricing," Carrie Ann said.
Mark confirmed the contractors "agreed to hold their unit pricing," noting the construction market generally has rising prices. After discussion about rebidding and the timing involved, the board agreed to place the item on a consent agenda and approved the extension by roll call.
The board then approved a related contract action for sanitary manhole rehabilitation with Kim Construction Company in an amount not to exceed $173,130. That item was described as part of the same overall effort to reduce stormwater entering the sanitary system.
Both motions were moved, seconded and approved by roll call of trustees present. The board discussion emphasized that the extensions are budgeted and that any future changes to scope or pricing would return to the board for separate action.
Next steps: staff will proceed with the approved extensions for the previously bid components, advertise separately for the Maple Street work, and report back to the board if rebids produce different pricing or scope adjustments.
