TO: Mayor Richard C. Irvin and City Council
FROM: Tim Weidner, P.E., Engineering Coordinator
DATE: May 16, 2024
SUBJECT:
A Resolution approving an Intergovernmental Agreement between the City of Aurora and the Sugar Grove Township Road District for the resurfacing of Prairie Street.
PURPOSE:
This Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) will allow the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) through a federally funded project under design by the City, to resurface a section of Prairie Street under the jurisdiction of Sugar Grove Township Road District (Township), and for the Township to pay the City for the construction and construction engineering costs.
BACKGROUND:
The project will resurface Prairie Street from the west City limits to Randall Road. The project is in the Kane-Kendall Council of Mayors (KKCOM) active program and has federal funds secured for construction and construction engineering.
The City has been performing Phase 1 and Phase 2 Engineering in-house. The project CIP is GB160 and the local share is anticipated to be Motor Fuel Tax (MFT). The project is targeting a late 2024 IDOT letting with construction to take place in 2025.
DISCUSSION:
The Township jurisdiction on Prairie Street is from just east of Barnes road to west of Meadowsedge Lane. The project as originally scoped would have had an omission through the Township jurisdiction. During the Phase 1 process, the City coordinated with the Township and the Township indicated that they would like their portion paved as a part of this project.
In the next couple of months, the typical Phase 3 agreements that accompany these types of federally funded projects (Joint Funding Agreement for State-Let Construction Work & Construction Engineering Agreement) will be presented to City Council for approval. This IGA needs approval at this time due to the federal funding and IDOT processes, which require the IGA to be approved before the project letting.
Through coordination with KKCOM...
