Title
Orland Parkway Pavement Failure Investigation - Repair Recommendations
History
The Public Works Department initiated a pavement sufficiency program this year with Applied Research Associates, Inc. of Champaign, Illinois (ARA) to rate the condition of all the streets within the Village of Orland Park. When ARA was selected for this project, they were also asked to submit a proposal for performing an investigation into the pavement failure that staff has been monitoring on Orland Parkway just west of the St. Xavier Satellite Campus. The pavement failure had been noticed when performing normal maintenance work and has been a source of concern since.
ARA has submitted a proposal for forensic investigation of the pavement failure in the amount of $9,900. Since ARA has been previously selected to perform pavement evaluation and will be working with the Village staff, it was thought prudent to utilize their services for this particular problem since the condition of the road will only continue to deteriorate.
On July 16, 2012, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works and Engineering Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
The FY2012 Budget has a board approved line item in the Capital Improvement Fund (#054-0000-432500) for professional engineering for Orland Parkway with an amount sufficient to cover the cost of this work.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve accepting the proposal from Applied Research Associates, Inc. of Champaign, Illinois, for pavement failure investigation on Orland Parkway in an amount not to exceed $9,900.
