BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
As part of its annual maintenance program, the Public Works Sewer Division routinely televises storm and sanitary sewers throughout the Village. During inspections conducted the week of May 18, Public Works staff identified a pavement depression near a storm structure on Sheridan Road between Hazel Avenue and Hawthorn Avenue. Further investigation using the Village’s sewer camera equipment revealed a failure of the sanitary sewer main approximately 25 feet below grade.
Due to the depth of the sewer and the complexity of the repair, specialized equipment and expertise were required. The Village’s underground utility contractor, Kloepfer Construction, was unavailable to perform the emergency work due to scheduling conflicts. Staff subsequently contacted DiMeo Brothers, the contractor currently performing the Village’s water main improvement project, who agreed to assist with the emergency repair for a lump-sum cost of $35,000. Public Works crews supported the effort by providing traffic control, hauling, and disposal services.
On May 27, 2026, Public Works and DiMeo Brothers completed the emergency sanitary sewer repair on Sheridan Road between Hazel Avenue and Hawthorn Avenue. All work was completed the following day, and the Village has finalized payment to DiMeo Brothers for their assistance.
Funding for this emergency repair will be provided through available capital funds budgeted for sanitary sewer rehabilitation and improvements under the Community Investment Program for Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation - Inflow and Infiltration Control Program (IICP). These improvements support the Village’s ongoing compliance with the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago’s Inflow/Infiltration Control Program.
RECOMMENDATION
Given the depth and complexity required to complete this emergency sanitary sewer repair, staff recommends Village Board approve a Resolution ratifying the Village Manager’s prior execution of a Contract with DiMeo Brothers, Inc. of Elk Grove, Illinois for Emergency Sanitary Sewer Repairs for a total cost not to exceed $35,000.
MOTION
Move to approve a Resolution authorizing the Village Manager’s prior execution of a Contract with DiMeo Brothers, Inc. of Elk Grove, Illinois for Emergency Sanitary Sewer Repairs for a total cost not to exceed $35,000
