Summary: The Department of Transportation and Highways respectfully requests approval of the Proposed Amendment 2 between the County and Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd., Rosemont, Illinois.
This contract provides for the preparation of preliminary engineering and environmental (Phase I) study for the reconstruction of Central Avenue between Sauk Trail and US 30 (Lincoln Highway). The improvements will enable the Department to protect the public investment in the highway system and provide a safe and sustainable highway in accordance with the Department’s mission statement. Further, the improvement supports development of the regional economy through improved regional mobility.
This amendment allows for design services for the Central Avenue - Sauk Trail to US 30 project. Due to the movement into Phase II, the design tasks will require additional time to complete. This extension is needed to complete the design services under the current contract with time to negotiate and prepare for Phase III construction.
This contract was awarded pursuant to a publicly advertised Request for Qualifications (RFQ) in accordance with Cook County Procurement Code. Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd. Was selected based on established evaluation criteria.
