Summary
The Village of Maywood board approved awarding the Green Infrastructure Alley Improvements contract to MQ Construction for $1,291,625.00, a bid about $70,000 below the engineer's estimate; work is intended to begin this fall on up to five alleys.
The Village of Maywood Board of Trustees voted Oct. 2 to award the Green Infrastructure Alley Improvements contract to MQ Construction of Chicago for $1,291,625.00, following a recommendation from village engineers.
Village Engineer Bill Peterhansen reported that Hancock Engineering reviewed bids for improvements on up to five alleys and identified MQ Construction as the lowest responsible bidder. Peterhansen told trustees the recommendation reflects both cost and the contractor's previous alley work for the village in 2007.
The measure, moved by Trustee A. Sanchez and seconded by Trustee H. Yarbrough, passed on a recorded voice vote with Mayor Edwenna Perkins and the other trustees present; Trustee R. Rivers was absent. Peterhansen said the award amount was roughly $70,000 below the firm's engineer's estimate and that work is intended to begin in the fall to avoid winter weather delays.
The project scope and the engineer's recommendation were reported during the Village Manager's report and the board took no additional amendments to the contract language during the meeting. The board did not record conditions tied to funding in the motion; funding sources were not specified in the discussion that night.
The next procedural step the board authorized was acceptance of the bid and direction to proceed with contracting; staff were not asked to return with a revised construction schedule at the meeting.
