2019 Fernway Subdivision Roadway and Drainage Improvements, Watershed #4 - Design Engineering Services
History
The pavement in Fernway Subdivision was originally constructed in the early 1960’s. At that time, the unincorporated roadways were constructed to a rural cross section below village standards. The village has spent considerable resources maintaining these roadways since annexing the area in the mid-1980s. The village’s pavement management consultant, Applied Research Associates (ARA), has recommended full depth pavement reconstruction with installation of a concrete shoulder to contain the pavement edge. Due to the scale of work and projected construction cost, the improvements for the entire Fernway subdivision are projected to span a period of nine years beginning in 2016, continuing to 2024, subject to available funding. An overall Fernway improvement map is provided for reference, showing the nine color-coded project areas representing each anticipated road-and-ditch reconstruction project year. The map also identifies six watershed areas defined by green borders and numbers. The determining factor for each project year is dictated by the lay of the land, working from low-lying areas to higher areas; however, since there are several separate (and some independent) watersheds in Fernway, the proposed project years are a guide and not absolute.
The storm water design of each Fernway reconstruction area has been engineered by Christopher B. Burke Engineering Ltd. (CBBEL). The village approved a contract with CBBEL in 2013 to provide storm water design for the roadside ditch improvements within watershed areas one (#1) through three (#3). The overall map shows the 2019 project location lies in the southern portion of watershed four (#4) and therefore the village must engage a consultant to provide storm water design services for this area.
Since initiating this multi-year project in 2016, the Village Board has annually approved ...
