On September 27, 2016, the Village Board awarded a contract to Martam Construction to remove and replace concrete ribbons, concrete curb ramps, and paver bricks in the Arlington Heights Downtown area.

During the course of construction, several Change Orders were approved, based on field conditions. The Change Orders in total are $20,222.56 and require Board approval.  All items were thoroughly reviewed with the consultant prior to approval. The largest items were a quantity error on the amount of sidewalk to be removed, the addition of an intersection for ADA compliance, and replacement of additional concrete curb based on its condition. There was also one location that was not installed per specifications.

Martam originally submitted a final pay request of $29,000+ which included the additional work and the area that did not meet specifications. Staff has been in discussions with Martam on these items until Martam agreed to not being paid for the non-compliant work.  Staff supports the modified final pay request of $20,222.56. Again, this work consists of additional concrete work at intersection keystones to install full radius ramped curbs, and one additional keystone which was added to the scope of work.
