Title/Name/Summary
Sandburg High School Monument Sign
History
Prior to the LaGrange widening and reconstruction project, Sandburg High School had an entry/monument sign located at the southwest corner of 131st and LaGrange Road. Additional right of way was necessary at the corner of the widening of the intersection. With the widening, the existing sign was removed. Throughout the development of the LaGrange Road enhancement plans, discussions concerning a replacement sign between the Village and the School District have been ongoing. A new sign is proposed at the southwest corner within the school district property.
The proposed sign is designed to include the same materials and aesthetic features as the other walls throughout the corridor. The wall will also include LED up-lighting. A rendering of the wall is attached for reference. The procurement and placement of the championship plaques will be the responsibility of the school district.
An Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the Village and District 230 was developed. The IGA outlines the construction costs, construction responsibilities and maintenance of the proposed sign. The construction costs of the sign will be divided by the Village and District equally (50/50). The District has recently reviewed and signed the IGA.
V3 Construction Group has procured construction pricing for the installation of the sign. The construction of the new sign will cost $158,134.73, of which the Village and the District will each pay 50% of this cost ($79,067.36).
On June 20, 2016, this item was reviewed by the Development Services Planning and Engineering Committee, recommended for approval and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.
Financial Impact
Funds for the Village portion of the construction have been previously approved and included in the contract with V3 Construction Group - PO 14-000968. The Village will invoice the district for their portion of the sign installation cost.
