Title/Name/Summary
Spaceco, Inc. - Professional Engineering Services - Main Street Triangle - Addendum 1
History
As part of the agreement with University of Chicago Medical Center (UCMC), the Village is responsible for the design, construction and completion of certain public improvements within the Main Street Area in the downtown. Specifically, the Village is responsible for the extension of Jefferson Avenue to 142nd Street and the extension of all utilities to the UCMC's site.
In September 2014, the Village Board approved a professional engineering services proposal from Spaceco, Inc. to complete this design work. The proposal includes all of the required elements to survey, design and plan for the necessary public and utility work that is part of the Village's obligation per the proposed terms of the redevelopment project. Since that time additional site planning has been done including the planning of a parking deck located at the northeast corner of 143rd Street and Ravinia Avenue. As part of the parking deck development, the east-west road connecting Ravinia Avenue to Jefferson will need to be designed and constructed. The Village is also responsible for the design and construction of the surface parking lot east of Jefferson Avenue north of the proposed UCMC building.
Spaceco, Inc. has prepared an addendum for the additional design services of the east-west connector street, surface parking lot and parking design coordination. This work also includes additional streetscape design and site enhancements along Jefferson Avenue, east west connector, the corners of 143rd Street and LaGrange, 143rd Street and Jefferson, and 143rd Street and Ravinia.
On June 15, 2015, this item was reviewed by the Development Services Planning & Engineering Committee, recommended for approval and sent to the Village Board of Trustees.
