Title
Bulk Material Transfer Storage Facility Relocation Engineering Services - Proposal
History
The Village currently uses an area adjacent to Centennial Park for the temporary storage and transfer of material removed as part of varying programs including right-of-way maintenance, leaf pick-up, street sweeping and utility repairs. The current site is located on the south side of 153rd Street between the Metra Station and Palos Primary Care. After years of use, permanent storage of material on the site reached its limit some time ago. Material temporarily stockpiled at the site includes concrete, asphalt and spoil from various excavations. Dumpsters for organic spoil and street sweeping debris are also located there. All material currently generated as part of Village operations must be recycled or removed to a permanent dump facility. Due to the location near residential neighbors, and to allow for future expansion of Centennial Park, a new location has been desired.
The Village has purchased a vacant parcel at 16401 108th Avenue for the relocation of the Bulk Material Transfer Storage Facility from Centennial Park. This vacant parcel was previously used by Beary Landscaping and was approved for development of an office complex, a project that did not advance. Existing topography and proximity to adjacent office complexes necessitate sensitive reuse of the property. In order to utilize the site as a Bulk Material Transfer Storage Facility, site planning, stormwater management design, landscape design and special use approval will be required.
Christopher B. Burke Engineering, LTD of Rosemont, Illinois (CBBEL) has provided a scope of services and cost not to exceed $10,600 to provide engineering services for stormwater management analysis, site design and landscape plan preparations.
On January 6, 2014, this item was reviewed by the Public Works Committee, recommended for approval and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.
