DATE: May 16, 2024
SUBJECT:
A Resolution approving an Intergovernmental Agreement between the City of Aurora and the Wheatland Township Road District for the resurfacing of Wolf's Crossing Road.
PURPOSE:
This Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) will allow the City to resurface a section of Wolf's Crossing Road under the jurisdiction of Wheatland Township Road District (Township), and for the Township to pay the City for the construction costs.
BACKGROUND:
City Council previously awarded a Construction Contract for the 2024 Citywide Street Resurfacing-EAST project to Geneva Construction Co. in the amount of $5,616,891.50 (R24-123). As a part of that approval, staff indicated that the contracted amount of $5,616,891.50 included approximately $40,000-$50,000 worth of work within Wheatland Township's portion of Wolf's Crossing Road.
DISCUSSION:
In coordination with the Township during design, the City included this work as part of the City's bidding documents. The intent is for the City to pay Geneva Construction for the work, and then be reimbursed by the Township for their share. The amount to be reimbursed will be based on actual construction quantities, in an amount not to exceed $45,000.00. The IGA is included as Exhibit A which further details the agreement.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
Construction in this area will likely take place during the summer. The street will be under construction for 8 to 10 weeks and will have some impact to local traffic.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Please forward this resolution to the Finance Committee for their review and recommendation.
