Project Title: Fire Station Concrete Replacement Project
Location(s): Fire Station #2 (9010 Ridgewood Road)
3.1 Project Overview
This project intends to retain a qualified concrete contractor to remove damaged concrete
and pour new concrete at Fire Station #2. The project consists of two distinct areas: a
heavy-duty apparatus/driveway area requiring an 8-inch depth. The contractor is
responsible for all labor, materials, equipment, and disposal.
3.2 Detailed Scope of Work
Area 1: Driveway / Heavy-Duty Pad Replacement
● Location: Fire Station #2 (9010 Ridgewood Road)
● Total Area: Approximately ninety (90) square feet.
● Depth Requirement: Eight (8) inches of finished concrete thickness.
● Specifications: Must be reinforced to support the heavy emergency apparatus
(fire trucks) weight loads.
Area 2: Rear Sidewalk Replacement
● Location: Fire Station #4 (3101 9th Street) - Rear of the station.
● Total Area: Approximately three hundred (300) square feet.
● Depth Requirement: Four (4) inches of finished concrete thickness.
● Specifications: Standard pedestrian finish.
4. Contractor Responsibilities & Execution
Phase 1: Demolition and Site Preparation
● Saw-Cutting: Cleanly saw-cut the edges of the designated replacement areas to
ensure a neat, straight patch line without damaging adjacent, stable concrete.
● Excavation & Removal: Break up, excavate, and completely remove all old concrete
from the site.
● Disposal: The contractor is solely responsible for hauling away and legally disposing
of all debris off-site. No station dumpsters or facilities may be used for debris.
● Subgrade Prep: Grade and compact the underlying subbase to ensure a stable
foundation prior to pouring.
Phase 2: Pouring and Finishing
● Formwork: Supply and install robust wood or metal forms to the specified
dimensions and depths (8" and 4" respectively).
● Materials: Use a high-strength concrete mix with appropriate wire mesh or rebar
reinforcement as required by local municipal codes.
● Finishing: Apply a medium broom finish to all surfaces to ensure proper slip
resistance. Joints must be tooled or saw-cut to control cracking.
● Curing: Apply a curing compound or follow standard wet-curing practices to ensure
the concrete reaches its maximum structural integrity.
Phase 3: Site Restoration and Cleanup
● Form Removal: Remove all forms once the concrete has sufficiently cured.
● Site Cleanup: Clean the work area of all tools, splattered concrete, excess dirt, and
trash daily and upon completion.
5. Timeline, Logistics, and Safety
● Operational Readiness: Because this project takes place at an active fire station,
emergency vehicle access must not be blocked without prior coordination with the Fire
Chief.
● Work Hours: Standard working hours will be from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday
through Friday, unless otherwise approved.
6. Contractor Qualifications & Requirements

policy, all contractors and subcontractors must adhere to Federal Davis-Bacon prevailing
commercial wage rates (or applicable Illinois Department of Labor Prevailing Wage
rates, whichever is higher). Residential wage rates do not apply to this project.
● Owner-Operators: Owner-operators are not exempt and must pay themselves prevailing
