Summary: The Department of Transportation and Highways respectfully requests approval of the proposed Contract Amendment between the County and Knight E/A, Inc., Chicago, Illinois. Under this contract, Knight E/A, Inc. is preparing a preliminary engineering and environmental (Phase I) study for the reconstruction of Plainfield Road from County Line Road to East Avenue. 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 is being requested due to new required scope for the project. The new scope items include additional work necessary due to feedback received from project stakeholders, as well as coordination needed with ongoing Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), Illinois State Toll Highway Authority (ISTHA), and municipal projects that are adjacent to the Plainfield Road Corridor Study. Additionally, IDOT procedures and forms have been updated since the initial contract was executed, resulting in additional effort needed to complete the project.
This contract was awarded pursuant to a publicly advertised Request for Qualifications (RFQ) in accordance with Cook County Procurement Code. Knight E/A, Inc. was selected based on established evaluation criteria.
