Title
Doctor Marsh Site Planning
History
A large portion of Doctor Marsh has been dedicated to the Village by Gallagher & Henry per the Spring Creek Agreement. This is part of the Spring Creek Greenway and has potential for trail connections and ecological restoration (see attached maps). Village staff has requested that the Army Corps of Engineers allow use of a portion of Gallagher & Henry's required wetland mitigation funds for site planning.
Christopher Burke Engineering has been evaluating wetland mitigation potential for this area and already has a lot of background data. They provided an estimate of $12,300 for this study.
On January 25, 2010, the Development Services and Planning Committee voted 2 to 0 to recommend to the Village Board approval of the authorization of the Village Manager to enter into a contract with Christopher Burke Engineering at a cost not to exceed $ 12,300 to create a restoration/trail plan for Doctor Marsh, subject to funding by Gallagher & Henry's wetland mitigation fund.
Financial Impact
A payment of $12,300 will be drawn from Gallagher & Henry's Doctor East wetland mitigation fund (required by the Army Corps of Engineers), currently held in escrow by the Village.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve authorization of the Village Manager to enter into a contract with Christopher Burke Engineering at a cost not to exceed $ 12,300 to create a restoration/trail plan for Doctor Marsh, subject to funding by Gallagher & Henry's wetland mitigation fund.
