Title
Fernway Subdivision Drainage Improvements - Professional Engineering Services - Proposal
History
Over the last several years, it has become apparent that the roadway ditches in the Fernway Subdivision need to be reestablished and brought back to their near original condition and grades to improve the overall drainage in the area. During the years, residents have filled in or regraded their property and negatively impacted the stormwater runoff along the roadways. These ditch lines need to be regraded to improve our Stormwater Management in the area. In order to perform the needed work, the ditch line elevations need to be engineered.
Christopher B. Burke Engineering Ltd. (CBBEL) of Rosemont, Illinois, was requested to submit a proposal to perform this work as they were the engineering firm that performed the work for the Tinley Creek regrading and restoration project done in 2008/2009. They did much of the work as part of that project and are best suited to undertake this project. This will involve performing field surveys of existing conditions, plotting them on a base map and developing preliminary plans and cost estimates to perform the work.
On September 7, 2010, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works and Engineering Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
INFORMATION PREVIOUSLY PROVIDED AS PART OF THE SEPTEMBER 7, 2010, PUBLIC WORKS AND ENGINEERING COMMITTEE PACKET.
