Approved Romeoville continuing with plan to maintain streets and sewers By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

In an ongoing effort to maintain its streets and sewer system, the Village of Romeoville will continue with its long-term plans. At the past village board meeting, various programs were approved to keep in motion the required maintenance. “This is a big day for Romeoville looking at all the projects we are undertaking,” said Village Trustee Joe Chavez.“All these projects,the resurfacing and pipelining, saves the village money in the long run.” An extensive long-term project, spanning 10 years to complete, involves replacing old clay sewer pipes with cured-in-place pipelining. The village awarded a contract for the 2012 Sewer Rehabilitation Cured-inPlace Pipelining project to Insituform Technologies USA, Inc., for $1.4 million.This year’s project will focus on 10 miles of pipe underground from Ashton to Honeytree. The entire project is nearing completion, with this being the second to last year of rehabilitation, said Project Engineer Jon Zabrocki. The village also awarded a contract of approximately $232,000 to Kim Construction Company to complete the 2012 Manhole Rehabilitation Project which includes approximately 700 vertical feet of manhole

lining, manhole frame and lid dealing.The rehabilitation is meant to reduce the amount of inflow and infiltration that enters the Romeoville wastewater treatment plants. In addition, the village accepted a bid from Denler Inc., for nearly $185,000 to begin the Roadway Crack Sealing 2012 program.The project consists of the routing, cleaning, and sealing of approximately 500,000 lineal feet of pavement cracks at various locations throughout the village. It is hoped this action will extend the period of time before major rehabilitation will be required on certain roads. A contract was awarded to Orange Crush, LLC, who offered the lowest proposal of nearly $639,000, to complete the Murphy Drive Resurfacing Project. The company was also selected to complete the Wesglen Subdivision Neighborhood 6 and Lakewood Falls Phase 5-23 Resurfacing project at a cost of nearly $392,000. According to Public Works Director Dan Bromberek the village has worked with the company before and has performed satisfactorily. Projects like these are key to maintaining the village said Trustee Linda Palmiter. “I can remember 25 years ago when the conditions of our streets are not what they are today---now there is not a town around us that have streets like ours,” said Palmiter.
