Summary: The Department of Transportation and Highways respectfully requests approval of the proposed Contract Amendment between Cook County and Alfred Benesch & Company, Chicago, Illinois.
This contract was executed on June 29, 2018 to provide construction management services for the Touhy Avenue construction project. This amendment provides for an increase and extension to the Contract to allow the Department of Transportation and Highways to continue with construction management services. The overall construction project has been delayed due to coordination amongst stakeholders. This project has been broken into two separate construction phases. The Illinois Tollway issued the first phase for this construction project in January 9, 2023. Phase two will be issued by the County in the spring of 2024. This amendment will add the time and efforts to supervise the construction of the Touhy Avenue improvement - Elmhurst Road to Mount Prospect Road with the same terms and conditions as the original contract.
The Services include oversight in construction supervision, inspection and documentation in pre-construction, construction and post construction phases. The Consultant will provide qualified individuals who will work under the direction and guidance of the Department’s Bureau of Construction in various roles. All works provided under this contract are in accordance with the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) requirements.
This contract was awarded pursuant to a publicly advertised Request for Qualifications (RFQ) in accordance with the Cook County Procurement Code. Alfred Benesch & Company was selected based on established evaluation criteria.
