Fernway Road and Ditch Reconstruction Design Engineering - Change Order #3
History
The Fernway Road and Ditch Reconstruction Phases 7-9 Project includes full depth pavement reconstruction with the addition of concrete shoulders (Ribbons) to support the pavement edges as well as ditch reconstruction, culvert replacement, and storm sewer installation. Based upon results of the FY2022 bid process, PT Ferro Construction Company of Joliet, Illinois was approved by the Village Board on August 15, 2022, for an award amount not to exceed $3,883,549.18.
Due to project delays in Fall 2022 and Spring 2023, including ramifications of the Local 150 strike and utility conflicts with Nicor and ComEd, the project was rolled over for completion by August 31, 2023.

This delay has caused a ripple delay of about three (3) months, pushing the completion date to November 30, 2023, at a revised contract amount not to exceed $4,119,926.06 (Change Order #1).
The contract completion date was again extended from November 30, 2023, to June 15, 2024, as unforeseen utility conflicts and added scopes of work pushed work into poor weather conditions (Change Order #2).
