Preparation of Phase I preliminary engineering study, and an option to perform Phase II design engineering, in accordance with the Illinois Department of Transportation’s Bureau of Local Roads & Streets Policies & Procedures for County approval, for a new multi-use path along Washington Street between Mainsail Drive and Almond Road in the Village of Gurnee and Unincorporated Third Lake, Illinois. The project also includes a new sidewalk between Mainsail Drive and Sextant Drive on the north side of Washington Street. The work will include preparation and approval of a Project Development Report for County approval; field survey; plats and legal descriptions for right-of-way and easement acquisitions; identification of detention requirements; flood plain determination; wetland delineation; soils investigation; alternatives analysis, public involvement and an environmental assessment (PESA and PSI). Coordination with IDOT (ESR and Route 45), utility companies, permitting agencies and local communities will be part of the work. It is anticipated that local funds will be used for engineering and construction. The basis of evaluation will be 25% technical approach, 15% firm experience, 15% specialized expertise, 20% team capabilities, 10% workload capacity, 10% past performance and 5% local presence.
