Title/Name/Summary
Professional Engineering Services with Christopher B. Burke - Approval
History
The Village of Orland Park’s current contract with Christopher B. Burke (CBBEL) to provide professional engineering services expires December 31, 2012. Previous contracts for general engineering to be provided by CBBEL included a monthly retainer of $6,500. CBBEL has maintained this retainer amount for a number of years. The contract for FY 2013 is for a monthly retainer of $8,500, which is an increase from FY 2012. Throughout the 2012 fiscal year CBBEL has provided a variety of services not only with Development Services but with Public Works, Administration and Parks. The scope includes attending Village meetings, investigation of engineering matters, review of drainage complaints, and follow-up with developers and residents. CBBEL also serves as the Village’s professional engineer (PE) for the review and approval of private development projects within the Village of Orland Park. These fees are passed through to the developer for payment but are billed at CBBEL’s 2007 rates, which is a significant savings to our local developers.
Included with this item is a memo from CBBEL summarizing the various items that service was provided in 2012. Also Included is CBBEL's proposal for their services.
On November 19, 2012, the Development Services & Planning Committee moved to approve (3-0) the Professional Engineering Services Contract with Christopher B. Burke in the amount of $102,000 or $8,500 per month as outlined in their proposal.
