Title
104th Avenue Bike Path Construction Management/Engineering Phase III - Proposal
History
The Village received 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding totaling $307,000 for the design and construction of a pedestrian/bicycle path along 104th Avenue from Centennial Park to 167th Street.
On June 15, 2009, the Village Board authorized funding to McDonough Associates Inc. of Chicago, Illinois, for Phase I and Phase II Engineering in the amount of $34,165.38. Following comments received as the design progressed, additional design work was required due to comments received from Cook County Department of Highways.
On March 5, 2010, bids were opened for the project with Lorusso Cement Contractors as the apparent low bidder. Following disclosure by IDOT that there was a qualified omission on the part of the low bidder, the low bidder was allowed to withdraw their bid, awarding the bid to the second low bidder P.T. Ferro Construction in the amount of $263,547.31.
As this project is being Federally funded, it requires significant inspection and documentation to ensure Federal reimbursement. Following the award by IDOT, the Village requested and McDonough submitted a scope and fee proposal to provide construction management services for the project. McDonough’s June 1, 2010, proposal was reviewed and McDonough was requested to provide a revised scope and fee proposal. Staff received and reviewed McDonough’s revised proposal dated June 16, 2010, which has been adjusted to an amount not to exceed $23,420.48 (copy attached). Staff finds the revised proposal acceptable per the needs of the project. Therefore, it is staff’s recommendation that Phase III construction management be contracted for this project.
Financial Impact
The FY2010 budget included an expenditure line item for this project in the amount of $310,000, with offsetting revenue budgeted in the amount of $307,500. As the State is leading construction of this project, and the funding source (ARRA funds) does not pay for construction engineering, other revenues of the Park Fund will have to cover the cost of this project. If Park Fund revenues are not sufficient to cover this cost, General Fund revenues will be utilized to fund the project with the intent of repaying the General Fund with future Park Fund revenues.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve accepting the proposal from McDonough Associates Inc. of Chicago, Illinois, for Phase III Construction Management Engineering for the 104th Avenue Bike Path project in an amount not to exceed $23,420.48;
And
Approve authorizing the Village Manager to execute the proposal/contract.
