Title/Name/Summary
McDonough Associates - Engineering Design Services - Fiber Optic Conduit for US Route 45
History
The Village has received a proposal for engineering design services for the Village’s proposed conduit for future fiber optic cable along U.S. Route 45 (LaGrange Road). The installation of this conduit will occur during the construction project for all three phases. This will allow the Village to install a high-speed fiber optic cable along the corridor in the future. It is anticipated the future fiber optic cable will assist with future economic development opportunities. The cost of the design services is $5,500. Work will begin immediately to allow incorporation into IDOT’s construction letting.
This agenda item is being considered by the Public Works Committee and the Village Board of Trustees meeting on the same night. Village Board approval will be contingent upon receiving an approval recommendation at the Public Works Committee meeting.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve McDonough Associates’ proposal for engineering design (phase II) services in the amount of $5,500 and authorize the Village Manager to execute the necessary contracts and documents.
