Title
143rd Street and LaGrange Road Intersection Improvement - Board Approval of V3 Professional Engineering Services
History
In April of 2007, the Village and the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement to improve the intersection of 143rd Street and LaGrange Road. At that same time, V3 Companies of Woodridge, Illinois, was retained to prepare updated plans for the intersection at a cost not to exceed $24,900. Under this contract, V3 has continued their professional engineering services with document preparation for IDOT on behalf of the Village. Since its inception, the contract plans have substantially changed due to further land acquisition because of IDOT’s request for added right turn lanes, the addition of double left turn lanes, the Village’s desire to provide capacity for traffic through the year 2030 and the length of the project has nearly doubled.
V3 Companies was the engineer of record for the original Main Place (now Orland Park Crossing) commercial development which included upgrades to both the 142nd Street and 143rd Street and LaGrange Road intersections as part of that development. V3 has submitted a proposal in the amount of $280,300 to complete the Planning and Design Engineering including completing the review process and permitting with IDOT.
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) for funding this project.

And
Approve authorizing the Village Manager to execute the proposal/contract.
