BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
N/A
BACKGROUND:
In March 2025, an inspection of the pond north of North Avenue between Charles Avenue. and Mattande Lane. was conducted at the request of the homeowner’s association. After inspecting the pipes on the north end, staff inspected the south end and quickly found a large sinkhole in the south parkway. The Department of Public Works (DPW) made a temporary repair to correct this and discovered that the corrugated metal pipe (CMP) located directly under North Avenue to be in poor condition. With the failure in the parkway area, staff became concerned about the imminent failure of the pipe under North Avenue and the roadway above. Staff decided that full replacement of the CMP was the best course of action.
As such, the Emergency Procurement was approved by the Chief Procurement Officer on March 25, 2025, per Section 1-9B-4:6 Emergency Procurements, of the Naperville Procurement Code.
DISCUSSION:
This Emergency Procurement was necessary to fund the full replacement of the CMP on North Avenue. Work included the excavation and removal of the existing pipe, the installation of the new 24” PVC pipe, and the backfilling of the road with stone.
The emergency work was performed by Baish Excavating, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $40,471.
In order to receive the pipe in time for the emergency repair, DPW ordered the pipe from Core & Main in the amount of $10,269. Core & Main was the only vendor that staff was able to find that had the needed material on hand.
