SUBJECT:
A resolution authorizing the execution of a Phase II Supplemental Engineering Agreement with Baxter and Woodman, Inc., and appropriating Motor Fuel Tax Funds in the not to exceed amount of $18,833.00 for the Montgomery Road and Kautz Road Traffic Signal Installation project.
PURPOSE:
To execute the Phase II Supplemental Engineering Agreement with Baxter and Woodman, Inc., and to Appropriate Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) Funds for MFT Section Number 22-00353-00-TL by Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) Resolution
BACKGROUND:
The project will consist of installing a new traffic signal at the intersection of Montgomery Road and Kautz Road, updating ADA ramps, striping and other pertinent improvements. The Council had approved the original contract for phase II engineering on March 14, 2023 (R23-073) to Baxter and Woodman, Inc, maximum amount of $39,412.00.
DISCUSSION:
During the design it was determined that the intersection warrants a right turn lane (westbound right turn heading north on Kautz Road). The IDOT/State review team asked that we conduct an Intersection Design Study (IDS) and an Environmental survey, both of which were not part of the original contract with the consultant. We also need the consultant's assistance for coordinating with Fox Valley Park District for a possible IGA, since the adjacent property belongs to FVPD and adding the right turn lane will move the curb line and bike path further north into their property. FVPD has been notified and they are willing to work with the city on this said improvement.
Since Motor Fuel Tax funds are being utilized, IDOT review and approval will be necessary for this project.
The city's 2023-2024 budget provides funds through the following account:
GC 081 Montgomery Rd & Kautz Rd 203-4020-417-76-39 $18,833.00
IMPACT STATEMENT:
