Biesterfield Fire Station Basement Renovation
The Fire Chief reported that the FY 00/01 Budget includes
$10, 000 for the partial renovation of the fire station basement.
The Fire Department had planned to complete a portion of the
basement renovation this year, and complete additional
restoration work the following year.
The current General Contractor on the addition provided a
quote of $41, 909. 83 to perform the entire basement renovation
this year. Doing the work now provides several benefits:
• Scheduling the entire renovation while the station is
under construction will eliminate future construction
disruptions to personnel. In addition, it will finish
the renovation of the Biesterfield Fire Station.
• A cost savings is generated since the contractor is
already on-site and is familiar with the exact nature of
the work.
• Fisher Construction is a pre-qualified contractor that
was awarded the contract to construct the addition. The
Village has utilized Fisher on the addition as well as
the Fire Training facility and finds their work to be of
high quality.
Specific work on the basement includes installation of new
position walls, new doors and frames, painting, flooring, and
electrical work. Sufficient funds in the amount of $50, 000 are
available in the Capital Projects Funds for this work. The
$50, 000 was budgeted to replace the ceiling but is being
accomplished under the station renovation work.
The consensus of the Committee was to recommend that the
Village Board award the contract to Fischer to complete the work,
at the August 15 Village Board meeting.
Estes Avenue MFT
The Director of Public Works reported that the MFT
contractor, Dunteman, inadvertently edge-milled Estes Avenue
between Busse and Elmhurst. Estes was scheduled for milling
between Touhy and Busse. The section of Estes between Busse and
Elmhurst was scheduled for resurfacing next year.
The contractor admitted the mistake and is willing to
restore the milled section. However, the Village will simply be
ripping out the redone work within the next 12 to 18 months.
The Public Works Director advised of 3 options:
• Require the contractor to restore the street;
• Leave the street milled until Spring and have resurfaced then;
or,
• Have the street resurfaced this year.
The Director reported that the street requires $40, 000 of
concrete work for curb, gutter, storm sewer and sidewalk before
the street can be resurfaced. This work is done by a different
contractor, RAI who has already completed their work in Elk Grove
for the year. RAI is willing to come back and do the work at
their low bid pricing this year.
The bid price to resurface the street is nearly $60, 000.
In addition, the bid price to mill the street is $5, 026.
The consensus of the Committee was for staff to ascertain
if the street could be resurfaced under this year's MFT program
and what cost the contractor would charge under the bid price to
resurface the street considering their cost to restore the
street. If the street can be resurfaced, that issue should be
placed on the Village Board consent agenda for August 15.
The contractor reported that they would resurface the
street for $45, 000, which is $15, 000 below the value of their bid
price. When combined with the $5, 000 of no charge mill work, the
Village receives a savings of .nearly $20, 000 to resurface Estes.
