STP Phase I Engineering - 143rd Street, 131st Street, and Orland Parkway - Proposals
History
143rd Street, 131st Street, and Orland Parkway are formerly referred to as FAU (Federal Aid Urban) routes, and they fall under the Village’s maintenance jurisdiction. They are eligible for federal funding through the Southwest Conference of Mayors Surface Transportation Program (STP) due to their functional classifications.
Due to their age and the amount of daily traffic, the pavement surface on these streets is deteriorating and will need to be resurfaced in the near future. Resurfacing these roads along with ADA mobility improvements are anticipated within the next few years. The cost of construction and Phase III construction oversight are eligible for federal financial assistance. However, in order to accelerate the process for federal construction funding, the Village must complete Phase I preliminary design engineering, and have Phase II final engineering under contract for the application process.
The application process for federal funding is administered through the Southwest Conference of Mayors. The next call for projects will begin in January 2024. In order to prepare these projects for the January submission, staff has requested proposals for Phase I engineering services. The project limits for:
- 143rd Street - John Humphrey Drive to Harlem Avenue
- 131st Street - LaGrange Road to Southwest Highway
- Orland Parkway - Wolf Road to LaGrange Road
Separate proposals for each roadway were requested from the Village’s prequalified list of consulting engineering firms. The request was made to nine (9) firms: Baxter & Woodman, Inc. (B&W), Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd. (CBBEL), HR Green, Inc. (HRG), V3 Companies (V3); Jacobs Engineering (JE), Ciorba Group (CG), CivliTech Inc. (CTI), Engineering Resource Associates (ERA), and TransSystems (TS). Three (3) firms submitted proposals, three (3) firms respectfully declined submitting, an...
