The attached Resolution authorizes the approval of an Intergovernmental Agreement between the Village of Arlington Heights and the City of Rolling Meadows for the local share of Phase 1 engineering costs required as part of the federal funding guidelines for the Algonquin Rd/New Wilke Rd Intersection Improvement project.

The project has been identified in the Village’s Capital Improvement Plan for several years. The project has been earmarked $2.0 million in Federal STP funding for construction on the multi-year list of the Northwest Council of Mayors.

The City of Rolling Meadows will act as the lead Local Agency and the Village will contribute 50% of the costs required to complete the Phase I engineering, which is not eligible for Federal funding under the current guidelines.  The City of Rolling Meadows intends to enter into a contract provided by their City Engineer, Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Inc. to perform the Phase I engineering for $142,669 as detailed in the Intergovernmental Agreement. The local share costs to Rolling Meadows and Arlington Heights are calculated to be $71,334 per community (50% each). This percentage will be maintained throughout design and construction.

The City of Rolling Meadows approved this Intergovernmental Agreement at its City Council meeting on March 10, 2020.

Funding for the Village’s share of the Phase 1 engineering ($71,334) is available in the Capital Projects Fund account number 401-7101-571.50-30 (SG1701).
