resolution
WHEREAS, the DuPage County Board has heretofore approved and adopted Resolutions DT-P-0110A-19 on October 29, 2022, and DT-P-0110-19 on May 14, 2019; and
WHEREAS, a contract was awarded to Alfred Benesch & Company to provide Professional Design (Phase II) Engineering Services for improvements at CH 27/High Lake Road and Sunset Avenue, Section 09-00122-03-TL (hereinafter PROJECT); and
WHEREAS, the current cost of said contract to the County of DuPage, by and through the Division of Transportation, is $225,942.19; and
WHEREAS, the County has secured federal Surface Transportation Program (STP) funding for the roadway portion of the PROJECT, in the amount of $1,333,885.00; and
WHEREAS, after coordination with the Union Pacific Railroad about the proposed improvements, it was determined that a new, enclosed drainage system is necessary along High Lake Road to maintain effective drainage along the roadway and the railroad rights-of-way after the intersection improvements are constructed; and
WHEREAS, through ongoing discussions with the Illinois Commerce Commission, the Winfield Fire Protection District, and the Winfield Township Highway Department, it was determined that the original concept for the intersection improvements would not accommodate the newer emergency vehicles in use by the Fire Protection District and would unnecessarily increase motorists’ delay; and
WHEREAS, proposed changes to the design to include a closed drainage system, revised pavement profiles, geometric improvements, and alternative traffic signal control will provide the best overall improvement for public convenience and safety, and were not included in the current scope of work under Alfred Benesch and Company’s contract; and
WHEREAS, the cost to revise and finalize the plans is $226,690.03; and
WHEREAS, the Transportation Committee recommends a change order to increase the contract in the amount of $226,690.03.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the DuPage County Board adopt this Amendment to Resolution DT-P-0110A-19, issued to Alfred Benesch & Company, to increase the funding in the amount of $226,690.03, resulting in an amended contract total amount of $452,632.22, an increase of 100.331%.
