Title
Fernway Subdivision Stormwater Improvements - Engineering Services
History
The Fernway Subdivision Stormwater Improvement Project is a continuation of the work performed as part of the Flood Risk Reduction Study completed by Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd. (CBBEL). As part of this overall project, CBBEL provided engineering and construction drawings for work completed in 2009 for the regrading and replacement of culvert pipes for Tinley Creek and Midlothian Creek through the Subdivision. In 2010, CBBEL provided preliminary engineering design services to establish an overview of the overland flow routes to the newly improved creek.
As a continuation of these improvements, the next step is the reestablishment of culvert and ditch flow lines that are critical to the effective functionality of an open drainage system. It is the intent of this project to accommodate general overland flow and nuisance flooding, not flooding from large rain events.
On April 24, 2013, the Village received a proposal from CBBEL to prepare final engineering and bid specifications for the Fernway Subdivision Stormwater Improvements. Due to the large scope of work, the proposal was broken into six separate watershed areas. At this time, only the engineering for Watersheds 1-($41,200), 2-($87,320) and 3-($84,820) adjacent to Midlothian Creek will be completed, with the intention of moving the remaining areas forward over the next two years.
On June 17, 2013, this item was reviewed by the Public Works and Engineering Committee, recommended for approval and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.
Financial Impact
Sufficient funds are available within line item #031-6007-470500 (Underground Water and Sewer Lines) for this work.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve accepting the proposal from Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd. of Rosemont, Illinois, for professional engineering services as outlined in their April 24, 2013, proposal for the Fernway Subdivision Stormwater Improvements within Watershed areas 1, 2 and 3 in an amount not to exceed $213,340.
