Title
LaGrange Road Water Main, Force Main and Fiber Optic Plans Completion - Proposal
History
In 2011, the Public Works Department contracted with McDonough Associates Inc. (MAI) of Chicago, Illinois, to design new and replacement water main and sanitary force mains in conflict with the proposed LaGrange Road Corridor Improvement Project. In early 2012, they were requested to provide design engineering for a fiber optic conduit for the entire length of the project. To date, those plans are approximately 99% complete. In late 2012, the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) removed MAI as engineer for the entire Corridor Improvement Project. MAI has recently ceased all operations.
IDOT has subsequently contracted with URS Corporation of Chicago, Illinois, to finalize the Corridor Improvement Project engineering and plans. To ensure a continuity of information and timely completion of the plans, Staff has requested and received a proposal from URS Corporation for the completion of the water main, force main and fiber optic conduit engineering. This work will include permitting and the final integration into the overall project plans for a total cost not to exceed $19,312.68.
On January 21, 2013, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works and Engineering Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
Purchase order #12-000019 has $17,000 remaining to cover the water and sewer portion of this work. There are sufficient funds in account #054-0000-484800 for the fiber optic portion.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve accepting the proposal from URS Corporation of Chicago, Illinois, for the completion of the LaGrange Road Corridor water main, force main and fiber optic plans in an amount not to exceed $19,312.68.
