Title
Use of Village Property - LaGrange Road Overpass Construction
History
The construction of the Metra Overpass and the Village’s Pedestrian Bridge (Project) is a State project awarded and managed by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT). The Project has two separate contracts (Embankment and Structure) and two separate contractors: Embankment - Copenhaver Construction, Inc. and Structure - Lorig Construction.
The Embankment contractor (Copenhaver Construction) has asked for permission to import and stockpile embankment material (non-special soil - dirt) on a vacant parcel within the Village’s Triangle project site at the onset of this project (June 2011). The embankment will be used to build the ramps required for the Village’s Pedestrian Bridge on both the east and west sides of LaGrange Road. Approximately 10,000 cubic yards are required to be imported and placed for the Project.
This item provides authority for the Village Manager to Execute the License Agreement that has been prepared by Counsel governing the terms of use. No fees are associated with this License Agreement as Copenhaver is performing work directly associated with IDOT’s construction of the Village’s Pedestrian Bridge.
Access to the construction site for work performed under the contract awarded to Lorig Construction is via easements contained within the project plans as previously requested by IDOT and approved by the Village Board.
Financial Impact
There is no budget impact associated with this item.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve authorizing the Village Manager to finalize and sign the License Agreement as prepared by the Village Attorney governing the use of Village property for work associated with the Pedestrian Bridge construction contract awarded by IDOT to Copenhaver Construction, Inc. of Gilberts, Illinois.
