Title/Name/Summary
Main Street District Geotechnical Borings
History
Throughout the development of the Main Street District, i.e. Main Street Triangle and Ninety7Fifty on the Park 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 civil engineering, 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.
As the Village works with HSA to develop future phases of the downtown, more detailed information about existing site conditions is needed. The attached proposal from SpaceCo and TSC Testing Service Corporation is for 15 geotechnical borings at various locations throughout the Main Street District. The borings will provide valuable information that will be used to design and estimate the costs for buildings and parking structures. TSC Testing is familiar with the site, and did work on the Ninety7Fifty on the Park project and the Ravinia Avenue North Extension. TSC will contract as a subconsultant to SpaceCo, who is already under contract with the Village.
The complete scope of services and fees are attached. The total cost is $15,250.
On May 19, 2014, this item was reviewed by the Development Services Planning and Engineering Committee, recommended for approval and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.
Financial Impact
There are funds available in the FY 2013 budget for the Main Street Triangle 282-0000-432500.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the scope of services proposed by SpaceCo and TSC Testing Service Corporation for fifteen (15) geotechnical borings in the Main Street District for an amount not to exceed $15,250.
