Pre-RFPInfrastructure & MaintenanceDetected May 12, 2026

The Village planned a 2026 Lift Station Improvements project covering minor rehab at Adler Pool and Crawford House lift stations, major rehabilitation of Hollister Drive lift station, and abandonment of the Park Avenue lift station with a new gravity sewer, funded with $1,653,000 in the Utility Fund. Bids opened April 2, 2026 yielded only one bid from Martam Construction at $2,220,355 (plus a $25,000 alternate), substantially above the engineer’s estimate ($1,434,625) and the budget. Kimley-Horn’s recommendation letter cites limited qualified bidders and the combined scope (minor rehab, major rehab, and HDD work) as key reasons and advises rejecting all bids and separating the work into multiple contracts before rebidding.This creates an imminent re-procurement opportunity for contractors and engineering firms as the Village restructures the project into smaller packages. Vendors with lift station construction, HDD sewer installation, and construction management capabilities should track the upcoming bid packages and engage Public Works and Kimley-Horn on scope and phasing.

Work includes lift station rehab/replacement and Park Avenue lift station abandonment with new gravity sewer installed via open cut and horizontal directional drilling.
