Summary: The Department of Transportation and Highways respectfully requests approval of the proposed Amendment between the County and Acura, Inc, Bensenville, Illinois.
This contract was approved by the Cook County Board on June 29, 2023, for Curb Ramp Improvement Program 2022 North located within the Cook County Board Districts 12, 14, and 15 in accordance with the plans and specifications. The amendment accounts for changes associated with excavation for ADA ramps, adjacent sidewalk installation to ADA ramps, soils testing and disposal. Additional excavation was required to comply with ADA requirements and soils testing determined more spoils needed to be disposed of as Non-Special Waste than originally anticipated in the design phase.
Finally, the amendment accounts for work that was not included in the project but required to meet the goals of the project includes installation of a segmental block wall to allow for meeting ADA requirements for locations with exceeding allowable elevation differences based on existing field conditions.
This contract was awarded pursuant to a publicly advertised Invitation for Bid (IFB) in accordance with the Cook County Procurement Code. Acura, Inc. was the lowest, responsive, and responsible bidder.
