Title
ComEd Cable Burial - LaGrange Road Corridor- Proposal
History
As part of the initial planning for the 143rd Street and LaGrange Road Improvement Project, a project was developed for the burial of overhead ComEd cables on 143rd Street from John Humphrey Drive to Southwest Highway and on LaGrange Road from Southwest Highway to 147th Street. The segment along 143rd Street, as well as a portion of LaGrange Road from Southwest Highway to 144th Place has been completed. The total cost to ComEd for that portion of the project was $1,965,000. Construction of the segment from 144th Place to 147th Street was postponed while IDOT obtained the required right-of-way as part of the LaGrange Road Corridor Improvement Project. At the Board meeting on November 7, 2011, authorization was approved for the design engineering of the 144th Place to 147th Street segment in the amount of $50,000. ComEd has now provided the formal proposal for the relocation of overhead electric facilities along LaGrange Road from 144th Place to 147th Street in the amount of $975,000.
The LaGrange Road Corridor Improvement Project will require the relocation of several other segments of overhead cables. Most areas are being buried at no cost to the Village. Village Staff along with Tinley Park Staff have met with ComEd on several occasions to clarify the extent of the work. Two segments within Orland Park were in the plans identified as being relocated overhead. Those segments are crossing and parallel to LaGrange Road at 135th Street and crossing LaGrange Road at 167th Street. Staff has requested and received proposals for the relocation of electric facilities along LaGrange Road at these locations. The estimated cost of the work at 135th Street is $72,884 and the cost for 167th Street is $83,000. Tinley Park is evaluating the lines at 175th Street and 179th Street.
In order for ComEd to commence work on this project, an advance payment in the amount of $462,500 for 144th Street ...
