Recommended Action:
Consider bids for the electric system improvements to serve Nippon Sharyo Development Project (Shop 3)
History and Fact:
Earlier this year, the City of Rochelle received a notice from the State of Illinois of a grant award of up to $750,000 through the Community Development Assistance Program (CDAP). These funds will be used to construct a dedicated electric feeder line to serve Nippon Sharyo's Shop 3 which is currently under construction in ProLogis Park. The project includes the installation of approximately 1 circuit mile of 15kV underground conductor in conduit, 7 aboveground splice pedestals and 1 pad mounted switch.
Discussion:
Subsequent to the required public notice, the City Clerk will open bids for the Electric System Improvements – Nippon Sharyo Development Project on September 26th. Staff and our consultant, BHMG Engineers, will review the bids and provide the Mayor and City Council with their recommendation at the meeting. This project is on an expedited schedule in order to serve Nippon's need for power in January of 2014.
Recommendation:
Accept the bid as recommended by staff and our consultant and reject all other bids.
