Title/Name/Summary
Phase 1 Design Engineering for Multi-Use Path Along 167th Street (Wolf Road to 104th Avenue)
History
In 2017, Village staff performed a preliminary study of constructing a multi-use path along 167th Street from just west of Wolf Road to 104th Street. After determining it was feasible, the village proceeded with applying for Invest in Cook grant funds; however, the Village did not get the grant awarded. In order to improve the possibility of grant funding in the future, for the project, the Village is proposing to have a Phase 1 Engineering Design completed by V3 Companies. The completion of Phase 1 Engineering will increase the chances of the Village receiving funding for the Phase 2 (Design Engineering), Phase 3 (Construction Engineering) and other construction stages of the project. V3 Companies completed the preliminary study and the documents needed to be used for the Invest in Cook Grant application. Based upon their previous knowledge and work already completed, staff is recommending them as the project engineer for the Phase 1 Engineering.
With the completion of this path segment, pedestrian access will extend the reach of the existing multi-use path system to the southern portion of the village, where it is currently lacking. For example, this would create path connectivity to significant destination points such as: the Grasslands, Centennial Park, Village Hall and downtown train station from the southern portion of the village. Completion of 167th Street multi-use path would also connect 25 subdivisions to the current village multi-use path system through existing sidewalks and paths within the Village.
On January 21, 2019, this item was reviewed and approved by the Development Services, Planning and Engineering Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
FY 2019 CIP budget has $300,000 funded for the $211,000 contract proposal from V3 Companies.
