Title
LaGrange Road Watermain Engineering Design (Phase II) - Proposal
History
The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) has included LaGrange Road widening from 131st Street to 179th Street in its capital plan. Within this area (between 144th Place and 157th Street), several segments of watermain are in need of replacement due to age, condition and/or size. Additionally, sections of new watermain will be added to improve fire protection within the widened corridor.
McDonough Associates Inc. of Chicago, Illinois, was recently awarded the IDOT contract for LaGrange Road widening (Phase II) design engineering. To facilitate the inclusion of the watermain project with the IDOT plans, proposals were requested for LaGrange Road Watermain Design Engineering. By including the watermain project with the IDOT LaGrange Road project, the Village saves the significant costs associated with the plans, specifications and estimates required for project bidding documents as this work will be added as part of the upcoming IDOT project.
McDonough Associates Inc. has submitted a proposal totaling $98,000. V3 Companies Ltd. of Woodridge, Illinois, the Design Engineer for the 143rd Street and LaGrange Road Improvement Project, submitted a bid of $138,000.
