The Kane County Board on Tuesday voted unanimously to spend $1.2 million to improve the parking lot at the Kane County Judicial Center.
The parking lot improvements to the facility at 37W777 IL Route 38, St Charles, will be done this summer, Kane County Executive Director of Building Management Don Biggs said.
The project originally had budgeted to take place over three years: $645,000 in FY 2018, $400,000 from the estimated budget in FY 2019 and $175,000 from the estimated budget in FY 2020. The work is now scheduled to be done in one year.
“By doing the project in one year instead of three phases, the county will save at least $424,000,” Biggs said. “The truth is, it can cost two to three times more if you continue a construction project over several years, when you consider the possible inflation, the bidding and re-bidding process and administrative costs.
“This way, we’ll also reduce the impact on the employees who work at the Judicial Center and the citizens who visit there.”
The total estimated budget for the work is $1.22 million.
The lowest responsive and responsible bidder for the project was Brothers Asphalt Paving, Inc, of Addison for a total base bid of $ 236,922 and eight alternates for a total of $373,976. (See the full resolution below. You can also read about the project in the County Board agenda packet.)
