Agenda Item #1 Well 12 Sanitary Sewer Extension, Radium Removal Plant and Rehabilitation Projects
Staff Contact: Adam Lanning
Summary: Well 12, located on Hayes road is a main supply well that has been taken out of service due to radium exceedances. With this occurrence, the City of Rochelle entered into a compliance commitment agreement with the Illinois EPA which requires the City to construct a radium removal plant for that well. This project will include installing a sanitary sewer, rehabilitating the well and constructing the filter plant.
Proposals for the radium treatment plant were received and opened on April 25, 2019 at 11:00 am at the Rochelle City Council chambers for three contracts. A total of 13 proposals were received and all proposals were submitted with the required bid security. For contract one to install the sanitary sewer, bids ranged from $598,589.41 to $1,073,187.80 putting the low bidder (N-trak) $166,127.59 below the engineering estimate. For contract two to construct the filter and building, bids ranged from $1,903,100 to $2,562,00 putting the low bid (Larson and Larson) $85,510 lower than the engineering estimate. For contract three to rehabilitate the well, bids ranged from $99,665 to $124,276 putting the low bid (Great Lakes) $8,735 lower than the engineering estimate. Once approved by the City, Illinois EPA will have to also approve the contract before construction may begin.
