Title
Project Agreement - IDOT - 183rd Street and Wolf Road Intersection Improvement Agreement
History
Over several years, the Village has been working with residents and State officials to identify issues and possible improvements, and to secure funding to upgrade a non-signalized intersection at 183rd Street and Wolf Road. This intersection has a history of serious vehicular accidents including fatalities.
As a direct result of focused efforts seeking an improvement, the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) as the owner of the intersection and approach roads, secured design and construction funding to undertake this improvement. As you may recall, the Village Board recently awarded a related contract for watermain work at this same location directly due to the advancing of the intersection project.
IDOT has been working with the Village on the project during design. As common, we have been asked to enter into a Project Agreement with IDOT regarding work to be undertaken and the Village’s share of costs and future maintenance associated with the project.
IDOT requires that the Project Agreement be executed prior to their early August award of their project. Staff has reviewed the Agreement and found it to be consistent with past discussions and project meetings.
On July 18, 2011, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works and Engineering Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
