BACKGROUND:

On December 17, 2019, the Mayor and City Council passed a Resolution approving an intergovernmental agreement with the Illinois Department of Transportation for the Construction of and Construction Engineering for the Essington Road Bridge over Rock Run Creek Improvement Project.  This agreement provided that the City would reimburse the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) for 20% of the construction costs.  At the time the agreement was approved, the estimated City share of construction costs was $600,000.00.  This project has been satisfactorily completed, and the final City share is $562,158.64.

 

The Public Service Committee will review this matter.

 

CONCLUSION:

Change Order No. 1 is a net increase in the amount of $112,158.64.  The original purchase order established for this contract did not allocate the total funding required to cover the final cost of the project.  Change Order No. 1 will allow for payment of the final invoice from IDOT, and overall close-out of this project.

 

Sufficient funds are available in the Motor Fuel Tax Fund / Essington Rd. Bridge over Rock Run Creek Construction (Org 20090270, Object 557200, $112,158.64).

 

Also, please process Pay Estimate No. 2 & Final, in the amount of $114,744.28 on behalf of IDOT.
