Title/Name/Summary
143rd Street (Will-Cook Road to Wolf Road) Land Acquisition Services Contract Amendment
History
Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd. (CBBEL) is the Phase II design engineer for the 143rd Street, Will-Cook Road to Wolf Road, Road Widening project. The roadway design plans are currently at 90% complete and the project is awaiting funding for construction. In order to keep the project moving forward, the land acquisition process needs to begin. Three quotes were received from land acquisition consultants. The proposals are as follows:
1. Hampton, Lenzini and Renwick, Inc. - $36,250.00
2. Santacruz Land Acquisitions - $42,000.00
3. Mathewson Land Services, Inc. - $79,300.00
The Engineering Programs and Services Department is requesting to amend the existing Phase II Design Engineering contract with CBBEL to include land acquisition services from Hampton, Lenzini, and Renwick, Inc., for an amount not-to-exceed amount of $36,250. The federal process for land acquisition is a very complicated process and requires consultants who have extensive experience and expertise in order to complete the land acquisition per the federal requirements.
Furthermore, since the project has been federally funded through the Surface Transportation Program (STP), the completion of the land acquisition will complete the Village's obligation for the project per federal requirements and will secure $1,000,000 in STP funding for construction of the project.
Financial Impact
Engineering and land acquisition costs for the project were approved in the FY2022 budget.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve amending the existing Christopher B. Burke, Ltd., Phase II Design Engineering contract for the 143rd Street, Will-Cook Road to Wolf Road, Road Widening project to add an amount not to exceed $36,250 for land acquisition services.
