Title/Name/Summary
Professional Engineering Services with Christopher B. Burke - Approval
History
The Village of Orland Park’s current contract with Christopher B. Burke (CBBEL) to provide professional engineering services expired December 31, 2011. Previous contracts for general engineering to be provided by CBBEL included a monthly retainer of $8,500. For the past few years the monthly retainer has been reduced due to budgetary constraints and a reduction in development activity. The contract for FY 2012 is for a monthly retainer of $6,500, which is consistent with FY 2011. The scope includes attending Village meetings, investigation of engineering matters, review of drainage complaints, and follow-up with developers and residents. CBBEL also serves as the Village’s professional engineer (PE) for the review and approval of private development projects within the Village of Orland Park. These fees are passed through to the developer for payment but are billed at CBBEL’s 2007 rates, which is a significant savings to our local developers.
On January 16, 2012 the Development Services & Planning Committee moved 3-0 to recommend to the Village Board approval of the Professional Engineering Services Contract with Christopher B. Burke in the amount of $78,000.
Financial Impact
Funds for this contract are budgeted in the Development Services Department FY 2012 budget 010-2001-416.32-50.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the Professional Engineering Services Contract with Christopher B. Burke in the amount of $78,000.
