Home My WebLink About91-1218 Walker Parking RESOLUTION APPROVING CHANGE ORDER NO. 2 IN THE CONTRACT WITH WALKER PARKING CONSULTANTS/ENGINEERS, INC. FOR THE WIDENING OF NORTH McLEAN BOULEVARD WHEREAS, the City of Elgin has heretofore entered into a contract with Walker Parking Consultants/Engineers, Inc. for the widening of North McLean Boulevard; and WHEREAS, it is necessary and desirable to modify the terms of the contract as is described in Change Order No. 2, attached hereto. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ELGIN, ILLINOIS, that Larry L. Rice, City Manager, be and is hereby authorized and directed to execute Change Order No. 2, a copy of which is attached hereto and made a part hereof by reference. s/ Robert Gilliam Robert Gilliam, Mayor Pro Tem Presented: December 18, 1991 Adopted: December 18, 1991 Omnibus Vote: Yeas 6 Nays 0 Recorded: Attest: s/ Dolonna Mecum Dolonna Mecum, City Clerk 1 01 ELGIN, ILLINOIS NORTH MCLEAN BOULEVARD WIDENING BIG TIMBER TO I-90 CONTRACT CHANGE ORDER NO. 2 WALKER PROJECT #E4616. 11 SCOPE: This Contract Change Order No. 2 covers additional engineering design services already completed, increase in hourly rates due to cost of living increases for the remaining field observation services, and future engineering design services for traffic signals on North McLean Boulevard at Forest Drive and Holmes Road. The engineering firm operating under contract to the City of Elgin for the engineering design of the above project is WALKER Parking Consultants/ Engineers, Inc. , 505 Davis Road, Elgin, Illinois 60123 . REASON FOR CHANGE: This contract change order is required: due to additional engineering services already performed and verbally agreed upon between the City of Elgin and WALKER; so that the installation of traffic signals at Forest Drive and Holmes Road can be made part of the construction contract to widen North McLean Boulevard; and due to increases in the remaining services because of cost of living increases for the years 1989, 1990, 1991 and 1992 . Additional engineering services were required due to requested revisions to work completed in 1975, which were not contemplated in the contract; and changes to the design requirements after work was completed. The field observation services are now contemplated to be performed in 1992. Part of WALKER's original contract was to determine if traffic signals were warranted on North McLean Boulevard between Big Timber and I-90. The results of that warrant study indicated that under current conditions traffic signals were warranted at Forest Drive and Davis Road. The Forest Drive intersection met the school crossing signal warrant, while the Davis Road intersection met the peak hour warrant. Future roadway system planning however, shows the shift in the major traffic volumes to Holmes Road as future development continues west of McLean Boulevard. Therefore the traffic signaq will be constructed at Holmes Road rather than Davis Road. The design of traffic signals was not included in WALKER's original contract since it was not known at the time if engineering services would be required. Contract Change Order No. 1 provide for the design of a traffic signal at Forest Drive but did not include the design of a traffic signal at Holmes Road. This change order will complete the Forest Drive intersection and provide for the design of the Holmes Road traffic signal. WALKER has the engineering expertise to design these traffic signals. SUMMARY OP CHANGES IN CONTRACT AMOUNT: The amount of the contract will be revised as follows: ITEM ADD 1. Revise the traffic routing plan, $11, 137 .00 prepare construction staging and traffic control plans and revise the plan and profile sheets to accommodate staged construction. 2. Design changes due to changing the $ 1, 926. 00 standard design for the curb and gutter section. 3 . Revise the plans to include left turn $ 4,239. 00 lanes at Forest Drive. 4. Provide traffic engineering services $10,500.00 to prepare traffic signal plans and specifications for the installation of traffic signals on North McLean Boulevard at the intersections of Forest Drive and Holmes Road. 5. Fee adjustments for the remaining $ 1, 240. 00 site observation services. Original fee was $6, 400 and the following multipliers are used to reflect the cost of living increases for the following years: 1989 - 1.046%; 1990 - 1.061%; 1991 (est. ) - 1.05%; and 1992 (est. ) - 1.025. Therefore $6,400 x 1. 046 x 1. 061 x 1. 05 x 1. 025 = $7, 644 rounding to $7,640. This results in an increase of $1,240.00. The present contract with WALKER Parking Consultants/Engineers, Inc. including Contract Change Order No. 1 is for $57, 000.00. BY reason of this Change Order No. 2, the contract for the North McLean Boulevard widening project will be increased in the amouni of Twenty-Nine Thousand Forty-Two and no/100 Dollars ($29, 042. 00) , the total contract value being Eighty-Six Thousand Forty-Two and no/100 Dollars ($86, 042. 00) . OTHER CONTRACT PROVISIONS: All other contract provisions shall remain the same. Agreed to this /7y/i day of12,-c1Cly.4- 1991. Recommended: ENGINEER NG DIVISION BY. Date: 4 '/f/ Accepted: WALKER P z .

Rice, City Manager SUBJECT: North McLean Widening Revised Construction Schedule PURPOSE: This memorandum will provide the Mayor and the Council with information to consider a revised construction schedule for the North McLean Widening project. BACKGROUND: Plans and specifications for the subject project are almost complete and bids for construction could be received in a couple of months . The Big Timber Widening project has been awarded by the State of Illinois and work is scheduled to begin April 2 , 1990 . There are only two roads which allow access to and from Century Oaks , North McLean Boulevard and Big Timber Road The construction of Big Timber Road will take approximately 18 months to complete and will involve both a temporary one lane bridge and a two lane roadway. Access to Big Timber will be severely limited and difficult, at times, to use. The North McLean Boulevard project will involve a temporary two lane roadway for approximately one year. The access to the roadway would be, as in the case of Big Timber Road, severely limited and difficult, at times, to use. The construction of both the Big Timber and McLean Widening projects at the same time would leave the residents of the Centur ' Oaks area without adequate access to their homes. It would also make access for emergency and business/manufacturing vehicles rather difficult. Access to the Tollway is at Illinois Route 31 with many of the vehicles coming from Big Timber Road. The new interchange at Randall Road and the Tollway will not be completed until about August of 1990. Many of the motorists now using Big Timber Road can reasonably be assumed will find alternate routes to get to the Tollway, one being McLean Boulevard to Davis Road and to BoncoskY Road. This will place a burdon on North McLean Boulevard. The North McLean project includes the installation of new traffic signals at the intersection of Forest Drive and McLean Boulevard. It would be possible to install temporary signals at the interse - tion which would ease the flow of traffic at this location durin the construction of Big Timber Road. The signals would be parti 1- ly actuated so that when there is no traffic on Forest Drive the traffic on McLean Boulevard would be receive a constant green 5 -7q , . Mayor and Members of the City Council January 18, 1990 Page 2 light. The traffic signal controller that would be proposed for these temporary signals would be of the type that would be incorpb, rated into the permanent signal system to be installed at the intersection. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The cost of the temporary signals is estimated to be $30,000 . 00 of which $15 , 000.00 worth of equipment will be reused for the permanent signals to be installed as part of the North McLean Widening. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council reschedulle the North McLean Widening project to begin in early 1991 and that the staff be directed to take the steps necessary to provide for the installation of temporary signals at the intersection of North McLean Bou evard and Forest Drive.I 4041110 ..... am. Lar y L. ice, City Manager May 15, 1989 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: City Manager SUBJECT: North McLean Blvd. Widening Right-of-way Acquisition PURPOSE: This memorandum will provide the Mayor and Council with information to consider allowing staff to contact respective property owners to discuss the acquisition of additional right-of- way for the subject improvement. BACKGROUND: This project, recommended by the Transportation Committee of the ICBP, is included in the 1989 Budget. The consulh tent, Walker Engineers , is now in the final stages of plan design. The design included larger radii at locations where heavy truck traffic is expected . The construction of the larger radii will necessitate the acquisition of four small parcels by the City. The parcels are depicted on the attached sketches. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The cost of the additional right-of-way and appraisals , if necessary, are not known at this time . CONCLUSION: It is recommended that the City Council authorize the staff to contact the owners to outline the proposed improvement and point out the reasons for the need to acquire the additional right-of-way. mes J.
