Council committee authorizes construction engineering contract for bicycle plan; cost comes in under budget

The Infrastructure & Environment Committee recommended authorizing the village manager to execute a contract with Christopher B. Burke Engineering Ltd. for construction engineering services tied to the village's bicycle transportation plan, which is funded in part through an ITEP grant.

A staff presenter said Christopher Burke had been working on the project during prior phases and presented a proposal for the construction-services phase. "Christopher Burke's been, working on the project so far in our phase 2 and got all our approval. So it just they've done a great job with that," the presenter said. Staff reported the proposal was included in the original project budget and the contract amount came in below what had been budgeted. The committee moved the item to the consent agenda for council approval.

The committee chair recorded an aye vote and noted the item would appear on the council's consent calendar later in the meeting.
