Title/Name/Summary
Storm Water Project Management Services - Monthly Retainer Contract Amendment
History
In the near future, several key staff members are participating in the early retirement incentive from the village. The remaining staff will be encumbered with many current and planned storm water improvement projects in various stages.
Storm water improvement projects in progress include Mason Lane Storm Water Improvements, La Riena Re’al Storm Water Improvements associated with the 151st Street Improvement Project, Grasslands Dam Improvement in cooperation with the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD), Tinley Creek Drainage Improvement in cooperation with the MWRD, 144th & Irving Culvert Replacement to 143rd Street, and Oakley Avenue Storm Water Culvert Replacement. Several other planned storm water related projects also need to be coordinated for future capital funding requests.
Christopher B. Burke Engineering, LTD. (CBBEL) provided the village with the initial Flood Study and has provided guidance in prioritizing the storm water improvements. CBBEL has provided engineering design plans, specifications and bid sets for most of the completed storm water improvements. To facilitate a continued success with the storm water improvement projects currently underway, staff reached out to CBBEL to provide a proposal for stormwater project management utilizing Travis Parry. Mr. Parry is very familiar and has been a tremendous asset with the village’s storm water projects.
Both Development Services and Public Works have an existing Monthly Retainer Contract with CBBEL in the amount of $8,500 per month. Christopher B. Burke Engineering Ltd. of Rosemont, Illinois has provided a proposal to amend the agreement and provide the added management level professional engineering services from Travis Parry for an additional $9,600 per month. The agreement is reviewed annually and can be adjusted based on the future needs of the Public Works Department.
On April 15, 2019 this item was reviewed by the Public Works Committee and recommended for approval and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.
Financial Impact
Funds for this work are available in the Water and Sewer Underground Water & Sewer account 031-6007-470500.
