These Hinsdale Streets To Be Repaved: Village

HINSDALE, IL – Hinsdale is poised to hire a contractor to repave five local streets and the pool's parking lot this year, costing $1.4 million.

Ten companies bid on the work, up from seven last year. Cicero-based M&J Asphalt, which was the highest bidder last year, was the lowest this go-around.

This year, the highest bidder was Cicero-based J. Nardulli Concrete, at nearly $1.8 million.

The five streets targeted for repaving are:

• 56th Street, from Garfield to Park avenues
• Monroe Street, from 55th to Eighth streets
• Princeton Road, from Woodside Avenue to 47th Street
• Quincy Street, from 55th Street to the north end
• Springlake Avenue, from Woodside Avenue to the north end

The work will also include repaving the village pool's parking lot, which officials said would be done in time for the Memorial Day weekend opening.

The Village Board is set to vote on the low bidder at a meeting later this month.

At Tuesday's meeting, Trustee Luke Stifflear asked whether the village usually gets so many bidders.

In response, George Peluso, the village's top public works official, said the village went out to bid earlier than usual.

"The earlier we get bids out on the road, the better it is for our pricing," he said. "People are trying to fill their calendars, so when they get busier, they usually put bigger numbers on these jobs."

The village is a month ahead of where it was a year ago with repaving bids.

Burr Ridge's board often chooses its resurfacing contractor in January.
