Title
LaGrange Road Corridor Utility Conflict Engineering - Proposal
History
The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) in conjunction with McDonough Associates Inc. (MAI) of Chicago, Illinois, is currently completing the final engineering for the LaGrange Road Corridor reconstruction project. This project has been divided into three parts: Segment I - 179th Street to 159th Street; Segment II - 159th Street to 143rd Street; Segment III - 143rd Street to 131st Street.
As final engineering progressed and underground utility locations were better known, additional utility conflicts were identified due to revised grade changes and storm sewer installation. Because this is a state-owned right of way (ROW), any utility within the right of way found to be in conflict with planned state work is required to relocate at their own expense.
In February 2010, the Village Board approved a contract with MAI to provide engineering services for watermain relocation and replacement, and addition of watermain along LaGrange Road between 144th Place and 159th Street (Segment II). At that time, final engineering had just begun.
MAI was asked to provide a proposal for engineering services related to the relocation of Village-owned utilities (water and sanitary sewer) found to be in conflict in Segments I and III, as these conflicts have just recently been identified. MAI has submitted a proposal in the amount of $74,400, which staff finds appropriate for the services to be provided.
On November 21, 2011, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works and Engineering Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
