94th Avenue (151st Street to 159th Street) Pavement Resurfacing - Phase Two Design Engineering - Proposal
History
94th Avenue is classified as a Major Collector roadway, by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP).

The cost of construction and Phase Three construction oversight are eligible for federal financial assistance. However, in order to initiate the process for federal funding, the Village must complete Phase One preliminary design engineering. With the intention of selecting a qualified and experienced consulting engineering firm for preliminary and final engineering services, staff requested Phase 1 proposals from five (5) engineering firms: Baxter & Woodman, Inc. of Mokena, Illinois (BWI), Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd. of Rosemont, Illinois (CBBEL), HR Green, Inc. of New Lenox, Illinois (HRG); Strand Associates, Inc. (SAI) of Joliet, Illinois; V3 Companies (V3C) of Woodridge, Illinois. HR Green, Inc. provided the lowest cost proposal, and t...
