Title
Orlan Brook Drive Culvert Replacement - Bid and Construction Engineering Services
History
Orlan Brook Drive was originally constructed in the early 1970’s. The culvert section of the construction involved the installation of two 72-inch corrugated metal culvert pipes that connected the two ponds south of Wheeler Drive. Over the past 40 years, these pipes have deteriorated considerably. There is significant deflection through the barrels of the pipes and the roadway pavement structure above the pipes has developed sink holes requiring significant patching over the past few years. The culvert pipes need to be replaced in order to maintain a structurally sound roadway.
On July 20, 2015, the Village Board approved a proposal from Baxter & Woodman to perform Phase I and Phase II Consulting Engineering Services for the Orlan Brook Drive Culvert Replacement Project.

Also responsible for providing oversight for the efficient implementation of the 2016 Road Improvement Program, Baxter & Woodman has established themselves as a proficient and professional consultant to the Village. Therefore, staff recommends approving the proposal from Baxter & Woodman for Phase II Construction Services for the Orlan Brook Drive Culvert Replacement Project in an amount not to exceed $32,712 (proposal attached), plus a $5,000 contingency for a total of $37,712.00.
