Body
Dear Sir:
On April 4, 2019, the Board of Commissioners granted authority to make a payment to the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority (ISTHA), by direct voucher, in an amount not to exceed $127,546.91 for extra costs that occurred while relocating our O’Hare-Egan Solids Pipeline, as part of the larger tollway improvements project. After further review, ISTHA has requested an additional $44,903.19 to bring the final payment to $172,450.10 for costs above the original bid price.
The Engineering Department has reviewed the additional costs recently requested and finds them acceptable. These costs include:
• Design Engineering (5% of total project cost).
• Construction Engineering (10% of total project cost).
• Mobilization (6% of total project cost).
• An error was made by ISTHA in calculating the above percentages previously.
The above design engineering, construction engineering, and mobilization costs are owed by the Distrct in accordance with the terms of the Intergovernmental Agreement. Based on the foregoing, it is requested that the Board of Commissioners grant authority to increase payment, by direct voucher, $44,903.19 from an amount not to exceed $127,546.91, to an amount not to exceed $172,450.10, to ISTHA as final payment for the reconstruction of a segment of the District’s sludge line.
Funds are available in account 401-50000-645700
Requested, Catherine A. O’Connor, Director of Engineering, WSS:KMF
Recommended, Brian A. Perkovich, Executive Director
