In 2016, the Village retained the services of Riley Construction as construction manager for the new Police Station.  Legat Architects, Engineering Consultants and Riley have prepared plans and bid specification for Bid Package #3B for Precast and Structural Steel.  Riley Construction has bid to subcontractors the components of the bid package.

In order to expeditiously proceed with construction of the new Police Station, several early bid packages have been prepared by Legat Architects and bid by Riley Construction.  Developing these early bids packages and commencing construction on long lead time items allows Riley Construction to condense the construction schedule, rather than waiting until all plans are complete and bidding the entire project at once. This early bid package allows Riley Construction to commence with ordering long lead items of pre-cast and structural steel.

In April, the Village approved  early Bid Package #1 for the Police Annex and 4th Floor Village Hall, Bid Package #2 for the Temporary Police Station Build Out, and Bid Package #3A for Abatement, Demolition, Site Utilities and Electrical Utilities.

Riley Construction Bid Package #3B - $1,837,878

The bid is consistent with Riley's budget estimate for this element of the project and includes a 5% construction contingency.

Funds are budgeted in the account 431-9013-571-5025 (BL 16-10) for this project.

Recommendation

It is recommended that the Village Board approve the Police Station Pre-Cast and Structural Steel bid package #3B, and authorize Riley Construction to proceed with the Police Station construction in the amount of $1,837,878 to be funded from the Public Building account #431-9013-571-5025 (BL-16-10).
