BACKGROUND  

The 2014 MFT Street Reconstruction Program was publicly bid and was awarded on June 16, 2014 to Arrow Road Co. After the pavement removal and excavating work  were completed, a failed subgrade was discovered on Valley Lane, Lillian Avenue, and Allen Lane.  Additional funding is necessary to excavate this failed subgrade and replace it with subbase granular material in variable depths. This work will be performed at the awarded unit prices for a total amount of $40,000. 

Additionally, after pavement removal on Wilshire Lane, a street light feed was located at only seven inches below grade in the middle of the street. Therefore, the street lighting feed had to be relocated to a lower depth so it would not be in the proposed pavement cross section. The additional funding needed to cover the cost of the relocation of the street light feed is $12,000.  

RECOMMENDATION 

It is recommended that the Village Board authorize Change Order #2 for the 2014 MFT Street Reconstruction Program in the amount of $52,000, to replace the failed subgrade on Valley Lane, Lillian Avenue, and Allen Lane and relocate the street light feed on Wilshire Lane.  Funding is available in account 401-5001-571-5030 ST9008.
