AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING A CONTRACT EXTENSION UNDER CONTRACT NO. UW24-04-16 – RIPRAP MATERIALS WITH CALLENDER CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, INC., FOR THE OFFICE OF PUBLIC UTILITIES
Ordinance No. 233-06-23 awarded bid Contract UW24-04-16 for the purchase of riprap materials for the Lake Springfield Shoreline Stabilization Program from Callender Construction Company, Inc. (“Callender”) in the total amount of $156,960.00. Per the contract, Callender will provide 1,000 tons of 2” filter stone, 3,200 tons of 12” stone riprap, and 1,000 tons of 4”-5” gabion stone. The 2” stone is used alone or in conjunction with filter fabric underneath stone riprap as bedding and as a filter medium to stabilize shorelines. The 12” stone is used over a filtering medium to prevent damage to the shoreline from wave action. The gabion stone is also used to prevent damage to the shoreline from wave action at Lake Springfield. The contract contains a provision that allows for contract extension upon mutual agreement. Callender has agreed to extend the current contract with the same pricing and terms through February 28, 2025. No additional funding will be needed to cover this extended timeframe. Due to time restraints, the length of the bid process, the quantity of rock on hand, and the remaining funding balance on the current contract, it would be in the City’s best interest to extend the said contract vs. rebidding.

Flyash is a by-product resulting from the production of electricity by coal-fired power plants. Howard Concrete Pumping Co., Inc. (“Howard Concrete”) would like to purchase flyash from the Office of Public Utilities for their use in a grouting mix specified per a contract at the Peoria International Airport.

Howard Concrete will be able to utilize that Ozinga cannot use.
