Summary: The Department of Transportation and Highways respectfully requests approval of the proposed Contract Amendment 3 between the County and Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd., Rosemont, Illinois.
This contract provides for the preparation of preliminary engineering environmental (Phase I) study and design engineering (Phase II) for the reconstruction of Sauk Trail from Western Avenue to Chicago Road, including reconstruction of the bridge structure over Thorn Creek. 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.
This amendment is needed to support additional tasks identified during the Phase I to complete the study and better meet the project goals. These additional tasks include extending the eastern limit of the project by approximately 1,500' to allow the proposed shared-use path to connect in with an existing sidewalk system, designing additional improvements at the intersection of Sauk Trail and Western Avenue, and updating the Phase I documentation to keep the project eligible for federal funding in the future. Additionally, this amendment includes the completion of detailed design engineering and land acquisition services (Phase II).
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.
