Overview
Overview
In 2014 the Village entered into a professional services agreement with Edwin Hancock Engineering Co. to design and manage the 2015 alley improvement projects following a request for proposal process. The agreement from 2014 included terms for renewing the agreement on an annual basis for up to 3 years. In 2015 their contract was renewed for a second year to design and manage the 2016 alley improvement project. Edwin Hancock Engineering has done an excellent job in designing and managing the alley projects the last two years and the Engineering Division requested a proposal from Edwin Hancock Engineering Co. to design and manage the 2017 alley improvements and recommends renewing the original agreement for this work.

It is expected that there will be about $293,200 of available funds at the end of construction, which will cover the design and engineering costs for the 2017 program.
