Title
Catalina Subdivision Improvements - Engineering Services
History
Late last year, Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd. (CBBEL) provided preliminary engineering design services, which included a detailed hydrologic and hydraulic analysis for several stormwater improvement alternatives aimed at reducing the risk of flooding by providing varying levels of protection in the Catalina Subdivision. Based on the results of the analysis, Village staff recommends proceeding with a design that includes two interconnected detention basins located within the Village-owned Commonwealth Edison (ComEd) Right-of-Way (ROW). This will also include the construction of relief storm sewers to convey runoff from each of the cul-de-sacs on Tulip Court, Sunflower Court, Primrose Court, and Orchid Court to the new detention basins.
On April 12, 2012, the Village received a proposal from CBBEL to prepare final engineering and bid specifications for the Catalina Subdivision Stormwater Improvements. Additionally, CBBEL will investigate the possibility of constructing additional detention on the west side of 80th Avenue to provide a higher level of protection against future flooding. The complete scope of services can be found in the attached proposal. Staff has reviewed the proposal from CBBEL and finds it to be of good value for the scope of work and fees to be appropriate.
On May 21, 2012, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works and Engineering Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
Sufficient funds are available within line item #031-6007-470500 for this work.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve awarding a contract to Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd. of Rosemont, Illinois, for professional engineering services as outlined in their April 12, 2012, proposal for the Catalina Subdivision Stormwater Improvements in an amount not to exceed $76,800.
