Title/Name/Summary
Intergovernmental Agreement -IL Route 43 (Harlem Avenue) at 143rd Street Intersection Improvements (IDOT contract No. 60X73) - Addendum 1
History
In March 2014, the Village approved IDOT's Letter of Intent for the general scope of work for this project. Over the last several months, Village staff and IDOT have been working together to coordinate the design and eventual construction of the intersection improvements of IL Route 43 (Harlem Avenue) at 143rd Street. The improvements include the installation of a south bound right turn lane, additional south bound left turn storage area, drainage improvements, and modernizing the existing traffic signal. Per the Letter of Intent and the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with IDOT, the Village is obligated to pay for a portion of the traffic signal modernization work due to the fact the Village has jurisdiction of the west leg. IDOT is in the final stages of design and it is anticipated that the project will be bid in January 2015.
In December of 2014 the Village Board approved and executed the IGA with IDOT for an amount estimated to be $20,125.00 Since that time the intersection work is completed and IDOT is finalizing the traffic signal installation and turn on. This work is estimated to be completed this Spring. With recent intersection improvement projects, the Village has installed LED illuminated street name signs or these sign installations have been coordinated with IDOT's work i.e. LaGrange Road and 159th Street.
At the time of the letting and contract award the 143rd and Harlem plans did not include the illuminated street name signs. Staff requested IDOT to re-design and price the installation of the illuminated signs. The cost for this work is $20,216.48. Per IDOT policy illuminated street name signs are paid 100% by the municipality.
Attached is the addendum to the previously executed IGA and cost estimate for the proposed illuminated street name signs. Payment for this work will be included in the final invoice provided by IDOT later this year.
This agenda item is being considered by the Development Services Planning and Engineering Committee and the Village Board of Trustees on the same night.
