Title/Name/Summary
Main Street District Traffic/Parking Consultant Services
History
Throughout the development of the Main Street District, i.e. Main Street Triangle and 9750 project, the Village has retained a team of professionals to assist the Village in the planning, development, and marketing the area. HSA Commercial Real Estate currently represents the Village in marketing the Main Street District, Spaceco, Inc. assists with site design, platting and utility work and Norris Design is instrumental in the Landscape Architecture of the site along with blending in of the 143rd and LaGrange Road roadway improvements.
With the 9750 project substantially complete, HSA, led by Tim Blum, is marketing the remaining parcels. As various users become engaged in the site, parking and traffic discussions are an important part of the conversation. As with other design components of the project, Village staff is recommending the Village retain the services of a traffic/parking consultant to be part of the development team for this site.
Village staff solicited qualifications from three firms; Kimley-Horn and Associates, TADI, and Sam Schwartz Engineering. Upon receipt of the qualifications Village staff, including Tim Blum of HSA, interviewed two groups; Kimley-Horn/TADI and Sam Schwartz/Desman. After the interviews, both groups were asked to submit a scope of services and fees for various tasks as well as their hourly rates for personnel that would be performing time and material work.
After reviewing the qualifications, scope, fees and interviewing groups, Village staff is recommending that the Village enter into a not to exceed contract with Kimley-Horn and Associates of Chicago, Illinois. The scope of services includes but is not limited to;
Data Collection and Project Initiation
Development of Park + Parking Model
Traffic Generation Model
Design Workshop
Attendance at Meetings
Overall Plan Development
The complete scope of services and fees are attached. There are tasks that are lump sum costs; however the entire contract will be a not to exceed contract of $50,000.

Financial Impact
There are funds available in the FY 2013 budget for the Main Street Triangle 282-0000-432500.
