Public Works Minutes 1997 08-12-97 (Special) l UNITED CITY OF YORKVILLE Committee Minutes -Public Works Date of Meeting: August 12, 1997 Time Convened: 6:05pm Location: 111 W. Fox Street Time Adjourned: 6:32pm Attendees: Mayor Bob Johnson Tom Sowinski Richard Sticka Art Prochaska Larry Kot Jim Nanninga Joe Wywrot JT Johnson Discussion: 1) Center Parkway Bids- Sowinski reviewed the results of the bids. Aurora Blacktop is low bidder- $119,485.45. Engineer's estimate was $132,172.50. Staff recommends award to ABT. Sowinski asked Wywrot if all specifications have been complied with. Wywrot answered yes. Committee members reviewed the bid tabulations. Prochaska asked about other street projects also being funded by MET. Mayor Johnson said that we may need to borrow against future allotments. Nanninga said that we need to bid the stone for Spring Street because that one item would cost more than$10,000. It would be at least 6 weeks before we could start construction. It would probably be too cool by then to seal coat -we'd have to go through the winter with an aggregate surface and then seal coat in the spring. It would be beneficial for the stone to sit over the winter to get better compaction. Nanninga asked if perhaps we could place stone this fall and pave permanent pavement next year. Prochaska asked for an estimate of that cost. Wywrot indicated that the scope of work would be permanent pavement, curbing, and storm sewer. Nanninga said that State Street work will begin next Monday. PW crews will be laying storm sewer. We had difficulty in getting permission from a property owner west of the grit chamber, but that has now been obtained. PW crews will lay storm sewer and widen roadway on east side. MFT project would just be for a leveling binder and a 2" overlay. Sticka asked about Colonial Parkway. Can we get that project (A-1 seal coat) done this year?Wywrot said that we need to complete paperwork on last year's GM work before IDOT will let us do more GM work. Since both State Street and Colonial Parkway I individually would cost less than$10,000, IDOT may allow us to gel quotes instead of bidding them out. JT Johnson said that he will try to get paperwork finished this week. JT Johnson said that since State St. is just an overlay, IDOT shouldn't need much information to approve the work. Sticka asked when can he speak with resideihts on Colonial Parkway. Wywrot asked to delay until he speaks with IDOT concerning GM work. Mayor Johnson asked for all street projects to be on every PW committee agenda to make sure we keep on top of them. Sowinski said that we will take Center Parkway bid to City Council on 8/14/97 for approval. Minutes by: Joe Wywrot
