Title
Orlan Brook Drive Culvert Replacement Additional Engineering Services
History
On July 20, 2015 the Village Board approved the proposal from Baxter & Woodman to perform Consulting Engineering Services for the Orlan Brook Drive Culvert Replacement Project. Funds in the amount of $25,200 from the Water and Sewer Contingency Fund were approved to be allocated towards this project. During evaluation and design it was discovered that there will be insufficient separation between the existing water main and the new culvert. To provide for adequate separation and allow for ease of future maintenance, the existing water main requires adjustment (lowering), installation of a casing, and the installation of a new valve and valve vault.
The additional services are required to design this water main and ensure compliance with Illinois Environmental Protection Agency rules include plans, permitting and project management. The cost of the extra services associated with this change in scope will exceed the previously approved total by $6,900 for a new total not to exceed $32,100. The Baxter & Woodman proposed amendment is attached for reference.
It is staff's recommendation that the contract for Consulting Engineering Services for the Orlan Brook Drive Culvert Replacement Project with Baxter and Woodman of Elwood, Illinois, be increased in the amount of $6,900 to complete additional required services.
On April 4, 2016, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
Funds for this work are available in the Water and Sewer Fund accounts 031-6001-432500 and 031-6007-432500.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve amending the contract for Consulting Engineering Services for the Orlan Brook Drive Culvert Replacement Project with Baxter & Woodman, Inc. of Mokena, Illinois in the amount of $6,900 for a new total not to exceed $32,100.
