Title
Saratoga Place Subdivision (163rd Street) Stormwater Improvements - Engineering Services
History
The Saratoga Place Subdivision (163rd Street) Stormwater Improvement Project is a continuation of the work performed as part of the Flood Risk Reduction Study completed by Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd. (CBBEL). Initial evaluation has identified blocked and/or poorly defined overland flow routes in the area. The recent rain events on April 17-18, 2013, solidified the need to advance this project. Due to the smaller scale of this project, only preliminary drawings will be required to select a contractor and construct the proposed improvements.
On June 3, 2013, the Village received a proposal from CBBEL to prepare engineering drawings to implement the improvements. Staff has reviewed the proposal from CBBEL and feels that the level of engineering proposed is commensurate with the work required.
On June 17, 2013, this item was reviewed by the Public Works and Engineering Committee, recommended for approval and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.
Financial Impact
Sufficient funds are available within line item #031-6007-470500 (Underground Water and Sewer Lines) for this work.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve accepting the proposal from Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd. of Rosemont, Illinois, for professional engineering services as outlined in their June 3, 2013, proposal for the Saratoga Place Subdivision (163rd Street) Stormwater Improvements in an amount not to exceed $6,600.
