Title
Ravinia Avenue South Extension, Phase II Design Engineering, Contract Amendment, Supplement #2
History
On June 16, 2025, the Village Board awarded Ravinia Avenue South Extension, Phase II Design Engineering to V3 Companies, Ltd. (V3) for the design engineering services to extend Ravinia Avenue south of 159th Street and connect it to LaGrange Road at 161st Street.
On March 16, 2026, the Village Board approved an amendment (Supplement #1) to the contract to include the design of a median closure and left-turn lane extension at the west leg of the intersection of 159th Street and LaGrange Road. The need to extend the turn lane and close the median arose as the Village evaluated overall traffic operations in the area and through coordination with IDOT. The existing left-turn lane does not provide the required vehicular storage and this condition is expected to be exacerbated by continued development in the surrounding area and overall traffic growth in future years.
At this time, another amendment is proposed due to further comments made by IDOT after their review of the Ravinia Avenue Extension traffic study. IDOT requested that the Village add a right turn lane from eastbound 159th Street to southbound Ravinia Avenue. V3 will deliver IDOT-approved plans, specifications, and cost estimates that can be used by the Village to bid the project.
Financial Impact
The fee for additional services provided in the proposed Supplement #2 is $52,747.00, based on an hourly not-to-exceed structure. There are sufficient funds in the FY2026 Capital Budget for this scope of work.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve and authorize the execution of Change Order #2 / Addendum B with V3 Companies, Ltd. to increase the total not-to-exceed contract amount by $52,747.00 for a revised total not-to-exceed contract amount of $361,654.00, and as fully presented.
