Title
88th Avenue Rehabilitation Project Design Services Engineering - Contract Award
History
88th Avenue from 159th Street southward to 171st Street serves as a major arterial street for adjacent residents along this corridor as well as for motorists seeking mobility between 159th Street and 179th Street. For a number of years, 88th Avenue has been in need of significant work in certain sections as the pavement has reached and exceeded its useful life as witnessed by numerous recurring potholes and pavement failures.
Due to their detailed previous knowledge of the project and surrounding considerations, during June 2010, the Villages of Orland Park and Orland Hills requested that Christopher B. Burke Engineering LTD. (CBBEL) of Rosemont, Illinois, submit a scope and fee proposal to provide professional Design Services Engineering (DSE) work to the Village for the work involved in the preparation and submittal of IDOT project documentation, the preparation of plans, specifications and estimates for work required to bid and construct this project.
Staff has received a proposal dated June 29, 2010, in an amount not to exceed $30,111 and has reviewed their proposal finding it reasonable and appropriate for the work required. It is staff’s recommendation that CBBEL be awarded a contract in an amount not to exceed $30,111 for DSE services for the anticipated work on 88th Avenue. This will be advertised during the third quarter of 2010 with construction in 2011.
At the June Board meeting, an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) was approved providing a cost sharing agreement for the rehabilitation project being shared between the Villages of Orland Park and Orland Hills. The fees proposed for this DSE work will be covered and paid per the terms of the governing IGA for the project between Orland Park and Orland Hills.
On August 2, 2010, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works and Engineering Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
