Title/Name/Summary
2019 Neighborhood Road Improvement Program - Bid Award and Consulting Engineering Services Agreement
History
The 2019 Road Improvement Program includes the maintenance and reconstruction of various roadways/streets throughout the Village. This project is bid annually based in part on recommendations from the Village’s pavement management consultant, Applied Research Associates (ARA), of Champaign, Illinois.
For FY2019, streets scheduled for resurfacing and reconstruction are found in the following neighborhoods: Park Hill, Brentwood, and Ravinia Avenue between 143rd Street to 144th Place. In addition to pavement-related work, the repair and/or replacement of hazardous sidewalks, failed curbs and deteriorated storm sewer structures will be performed on an as-identified basis. In all of the above project areas, all non-compliant sidewalks, most notable at street crossings, will be upgraded to current ADA standards. These incidental sidewalk repairs are critical to the nature of this rehabilitation work and must be done.
Additionally, staff has identified a sidewalk gap that exists on the south side of 135th Street between 88th Avenue and St. Mary’s Circle. Another sidewalk need has been identified at the Orland Park Health and Fitness Center. This sidewalk will connect the Health and Fitness Center building to Centennial Park for Fitness Center employee parking, due to the shortage of parking experienced there. Funding for sidewalk gap work is annually appropriated in the capital budget. There is $29,570 allocated within the FY19 capital budget for the construction of sidewalk and pedestrian paths. To take advantage of the bid cost and known unit pricing provided by the 2019 Road Improvement Program contractor, it is staff’s recommendation that these sidewalk gaps also be completed through this program.
