Title
IDOT Cultural and Natural Resources Review Form (BDE 2289) - Authorization
History
Dyer Construction was recently awarded the Parkview Stage 2 Storm Water Improvement Project. Part of that work involves the construction of a large detention pond in the Evergreen View Park. Judlau Construction is the contractor working for IDOT on the reconstruction of 159th Street. The work on 159th Street requires a large amount of dirt fill. Dyer Construction coordinated an agreement with Judlau Construction to dispose of the excess dirt from the Parkview project within the 159th Street project.
A condition for the use of the dirt within the 159th Street project is a required review of the source area by the Illinois State Archeological Survey (ISAS). IDOT form BDE 2289 provides authorization for the ISAS to access the portion of the Evergreen View Park property which will be the source for the dirt to be used as fill on the 159th Street project. The form also authorizes any artifacts found at the site to remain publicly owned.
The requirement to complete the survey was not anticipated and only became known recently. Dyer Construction anticipated starting work on the project the week of March 20, 2017. In order to meet that timeframe the form needed to be signed and the survey completed. As such, the Village Manager signed the form in advance to ensure construction could move forward in a timely manner.
This form has been reviewed and found acceptable by the Village Attorney.
This item is going directly to The Board of Trustees.
