Title/Name/Summary
143rd Street - Will-Cook Road to Wolf Road Noise Analysis Update - Proposal
History
In 2009 McDonough Associates (MAI) hired Huff and Huff of Oak Brook, Illinois to prepare the appropriate traffic noise analysis as part of the Phase I Engineering Report for 143rd Street between Will-Cook Road and Wolf Road. Since that time IDOT's traffic noise analysis criteria has changed and Phase I Engineering Reports, that have yet to be approved, need to to be updated to reflect the new noise requirements. In 2012 IDOT suspended MAI from participating in any Federal or State projects. At the end of 2012, MAI ceased all operations.
In an effort to receive design approval for this segment of 143rd Street and begin Phase II - Design Engineering, Village staff has been to numerous meetings with IDOT and the Federal Highway Administration to agree on the amount of work necessary for Phase I Design approval given the situation with MAI. Christoper B. Burke Engineering Ltd. (CBBEL) has been instrumental in working with IDOT to complete the report in the most economical manner possible. CBBEL has been completing various tasks as part of their monthly retainer with the Village. However, there are only a few companies that perform the noise analysis, Huff & Huff being one of them. In order to be consistent with the project and minimize the work, CBBEL has contracted with Huff & Huff to complete the updated noise analysis study.
Financial Impact
There are sufficient funds in account #054-0000-432500 for noise analysis update.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to recommend to the Village Board approval of a proposal from Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd. of Rosemont, Illinois for the 143rd Street Noise Analysis update for the segment between Will-Cook Road and Wolf Road in the amount not to exceed $9,374.50.
