Title
17101, 17151, and 17171 S. Wolf Road Development, Design Engineering Services, Contract Award Recommendation
History
The Village is planning the conversion of three parcels (17101, 17151, and 17171 S. Wolf Road) totaling approximately 11.5 acres into a green usable space. In recent years, staff have observed frequent flooding along Wolf Road between 167th Street and 175th Street. These parcels are located in FEMA-designated floodplain, floodway, and wetland areas, which present challenges for traditional development.
To advance this project, existing site features such as asphalt paving and buildings would be removed. The completed project is intended to function as a green vegetated area, natural wetland, and/or stormwater basin to enhance the performance of the local drainage system and reestablish native landscaping. This initiative would help address local flooding concerns and improve the flow of Marley Creek located east of the project site.
The scope of work includes engineering design, surveying, utility coordination, environmental testing, wetland services, bidding assistance, governmental permitting, as-built drawings, and other professional services as necessary.
On August 12, 2025, staff contacted prequalified consultants and requested proposals for design engineering services to develop solutions to the Wolf Road properties. The following five (5) proposals were received:
1. Baxter & Woodman, Inc. - $121,900
2. Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd. - $50,000.00 (Only includes feasibility study)
3. Engineering Resource Associates, Inc. - $195,324.00
4. V3 Companies, Ltd. - $119,980.00
5. EXP U.S. Services, Inc. - $189,600.00
Staff evaluated the RFP responses based on price, qualifications, and design services relevant to the project. Based on the overall value offered to the Village, staff is recommending that V3 Companies, Ltd. be approved as the engineering consultant for 17101, 17151, and 17171 S.
