In 2019, the Village awarded a contract to Burns & McDonnell for professional engineering services related to the construction inspection and engineering oversight of the Downtown Sewer Project constructed under separate contract by Martam Construction, Inc.

As described in the attached memo dated October 9, 2020, additional work and time was required to complete the construction contract, which also lengthened the time required for the engineering consultant, Burns & McDonnell, to be on the job. Burns & McDonnell was on site inspecting on the Village’s behalf for nearly two additional months at an additional cost of $64,800 (24.9%) over the current contract amount of $259,800. Change Order #1 & FINAL for this contract also changes the contract completion date from September 27, 2019 to December 1, 2019.

Sufficient funds are available from Storm Water Control Fund reserves.
