Title/Name/Summary
Professional Engineering Services with Christopher B. Burke - Approval
History
The Village of Orland Park's current contract with Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd. (CBBEL) to provide professional engineering services expires December 31, 2015. Previous contracts for general engineering to be provided by CBBEL included a monthly retainer of $8,500. Staff is recommending to approve the same amount for FY 2016.
Throughout the 2015 fiscal year, CBBEL has provided a variety of services working not only with Development Services, but also the Public Works and Parks Departments and the Village Manager's Office. 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. The fees for this service are passed through to the developer for payment, and are billed at CBBEL's 2010 rates, which is a significant savings to our local developers.
Attached is the detailed proposal for services as submitted by CBBEL.
On November 16, 2015, this item was reviewed by the Development Services Planning and Engineering Committee, recommended for approval and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.
Financial Impact
Funds for this service are budgeted in the Development Services Department FY 2016 budget 010-2004-432500 ($78,000) and the Public Works FY 2016 budget 031-6001-432500 ($10,000) and 031-6007-432500 ($14,000).
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the Professional Engineering Services Contract with Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd. in the amount of $102,000 ($8,500 per month) as outlined in the proposal.
