TO: Mayor Richard C. Irvin
FROM: Tim Weidner, P.E., Engineering Coordinator
DATE: February 16, 2023
SUBJECT:
A Resolution authorizing the execution of a Phase 1 and Phase 2 Design Engineering Agreement with Thomas Engineering Group, LLC in the amount not to exceed $142,055.00, and the appropriation of $142,055.00 of MFT Funds for the Indian Trail Resurfacing (Highland to Route 31) Project.
PURPOSE:
This is a Resolution to approve the above referenced Engineering Services Agreement and to appropriate Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) funds as required by the Illinois Highway Code for Section 23-00356-00-RS.
BACKGROUND:
The City applied for federal funding in the March 2022 Kane-Kendall Council of Mayors (KKCOM) Call for Projects and secured funding for 9 different projects, with 5 additional projects placed in the contingency program. While this project was not selected to be in KKCOM's 5-year program, it is the first ranked Asset Management project on the contingency list. Meaning that if/when other projects drop out of the program, the project will be positioned to receive those federal funds if progress is being made on the engineering effort. If no projects drop out of the program in the next 2 years, the City will be better positioned to receive funding in the next call for projects. Therefore, we are recommending that engineering begin at this time.
The project will resurface Indian Trail from Highland Avenue to IL Route 31. A location map is included as Exhibit 'D'. The project scope also includes additional curb and gutter with some minor pavement widening between Highland Ave and west of Pennsylvania Ave to fill in missing gaps of curb and gutter. The funding ratio for these projects is 75/25 (75% federal / 25% local) for Construction and Construction Engineering, up to a maximum amount of $750,000. Resurfacing projects like this help reduce the burden of funding the City's yearly resurfacing program with local and MFT funding sources.
