Title/Name/Summary
151st Street - Ravinia Avenue to West Avenue Widening and Reconstruction Phase II Engineering Services
History
In 2004 Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd. (CBBEL) was awarded a contract to design and provide construction documents for the widening and reconstruction of 151st Street from Ravinia Avenue to West Avenue. Included is the design of a new water main and storm sewer improvements.
On April 29, 2013 the Southwest Conference of Mayors (SCM) approved Surface Transportation Program (STP) funds for this project. SCM approved a maximum amount of 2 million dollars for construction. The total estimated amount for construction is $5.9 million. To receive Federal construction funding design engineering must be approved by IDOT. CBBEL has completed the Phase I Engineering report and IDOT is currently in the final stages of Phase I approval. Once approved, Phase II Engineering can move forward. Phase II Engineering includes plan and specification preparation as well as right of way acquisition. As part of the construction funds approval, SCM approved funding for Phase I and II Engineering.
CBBEL has provided a scope of services and cost not to exceed to provide Phase II Engineering services. The amount not to exceed is $148,179.11 of which 70% will be reimbursed. Staff has included this amount in the 2015 budget.
On April 20, 2015, 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.

Sufficient funds will be available in the account #054-0000-432500 for Phase II Engineering services.
