7. Traffic Operations & Permitting

The monthly report was included in the agenda packet.

8. Project Implementation

Referencing the monthly report included in the agenda packet, staff Coffinbargar reviewed ongoing projects and shared photos. He discussed the following resolutions:

A. Resolution: Approving Contract for Construction with Martam Construction Inc. of Elgin, Illinois for Ellithorpe Road Culvert Improvements, Kane County Section No. 17-00487-00-DR

The low qualified bid of $194,328.00 by Martam Construction was 22.4% above the engineer’s estimate of $158,719.00. Based upon this comparison, it is staff’s opinion that the engineer’s estimate had under estimated the unit prices of the small quantity work items. A rebid of a smaller project like this will likely result in similar or potentially higher bids since it would be a little later in the construction season. Staff has recommended awarding the contract to Martam Construction.
