About this file
The document is a comprehensive specification and special provisions file for the Village of Schaumburg's Bode Road Force Main project, a municipal infrastructure improvement initiative in Illinois. The project involves constructing approximately 2,682 feet of sanitary sewer force main and associated appurtenances, located on Bode Road from Levitt Park to Braintree Drive, on Braintree Drive from Bode Road to Aimtree Place, and on Aimtree Place from Braintree Drive to Wianno Lane. The project is competitively bid through the Village's e-Procurement Portal, with sealed bids due on Wednesday, April 2, 2025, at 2:00 pm. The contract term extends to April 30, 2026, with substantial completion required by August 26, 2025, and final completion by September 9, 2025. Liquidated damages are set at $1,425 per calendar day for incomplete work beyond the specified dates.
The project scope includes multiple critical infrastructure components such as sanitary sewer force main construction, installation of an air release valve and valve vault, fire hydrant installation, demolition of the original Bode lift station, and various associated roadway and landscape restoration activities. The specifications outline detailed technical requirements for materials, installation methods, testing protocols, and quality assurance standards. The project will be funded through municipal sources, with strict compliance required with Illinois Department of Transportation standards, National Electrical Manufacturers Association guidelines, and local Village of Schaumburg regulations. Contractors will be responsible for comprehensive site management, utility coordination, environmental protection, and adherence to specific construction and safety protocols outlined in the extensive technical specifications.
