Title
143rd Street and LaGrange Road Intersection Improvement - Construction Oversight - Board Approval
History
V3 Companies, Ltd. of Woodridge, Illinois, has been the engineer of record for the professional civil engineering services for the original Main Place commercial development (now called Orland Park Crossing) since its inception. Their work also included an improvement of the 143rd Street and LaGrange Road intersection with the addition of a right turn lane from westbound 143rd Street to northbound LaGrange Road and the construction of 142nd Street and LaGrange Road as it now exists.
Because of their history and experience with this project, Village staff requested V3 to submit a proposal for construction oversight services for this very difficult project which is expected to take a year to a year and a half to complete.
It is staff’s intention to complete this project in two phases. Once IDOT approval is received, all utility work will be completed this autumn under a separate contract. The second phase, the actual road work, will be contracted out in the early part of 2010. V3 has submitted a proposal for $835,700 for professional Resident Engineering services for both contracts. Staff agrees that these engineering costs are acceptable for a project of this size and complexity.
On February 9, 2009, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works and Engineering Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
There is a Board approved line item (054-0000-499.84-80) to fund this project.
