Title
104th Avenue Pedestrian/Bicycle Path - Centennial Park to 167th Street - Proposal
History
The Village has been earmarked to receive 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) “Stimulus” funding for the design and construction of a pedestrian/bicycle path along 104th Avenue from Centennial Park to 167th Street in the amount of $307,500. If the project cost exceeds the allotted amount, the Village may be eligible for additional funding up to $500,000 but the funding does not include any of the engineering costs.
The Village requested proposals from four (4) firms for plan preparation, construction oversight, soil borings (if necessary), coordination meetings, surveying, design and permitting. Requests for Proposal were requested and received from McDonough Associates Inc. (MAI) of Chicago, Illinois; Christopher B. Burke Engineering Ltd. (CBBEL) of Rosemont, Illinois; V3 Companies Ltd. (V3) of Woodridge, Illinois; and URS Corp. (URS) of Chicago, Illinois. MAI submitted the lowest proposal in the amount of $34,165.38.
Due to the complexity of this project in that the path must go across some very bad soils, it has been decided that the project will be completed in two phases. The proposal from McDonough Associates Inc. (MAI) of Chicago, Illinois, for $34,165.38 is for Phase I - 167th Street to 163rd Street only; however, it will include a topographic survey for the area north of 159th Street in order to avoid mobilizing the survey crew a second time. Therefore, it is recommended that the proposal from MAI be accepted.
On June 8, 2009, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works and Engineering Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
Funding for the engineering of this project will require a budget adjustment to Line Item 023-4003-451.70-70 in the amount of 34,165.38.
