Overview
Overview
The scope of the current engineering design contract for the Lake Street Improvement project included identifying locations of underground sidewalk vaults. The consultant has completed this portion of the work which identified 13 buildings which have basements extending under the sidewalk areas. In order to construct improvements at these locations the vaults will need to be inspected and most likely have their structure modified to allow for new sidewalks to be constructed over top of these spaces. The Village requested a proposal from Thomas Engineering Group, who is currently designing the Lake Street project, for the additional work needed to inspect and design modifications to the vaulted spaces to allow for sidewalk improvements on Lake Street. The cost to provide this additional engineering is $80,648 and adjusts the contract amount to $1,278,208.
