Specifications include, but are not limited to: 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 Lewis Avenue corridor study between Sunset Avenue and IL Route 173 in the Village of Beach Park and Cities of Waukegan and Zion. Phase I work will include preparation and approval of a Project Development Report for State approval, intersection design studies; alternatives analysis; traffic capacity analysis to determine roadway cross sections to handle existing and future traffic projections; evaluation of non-motorized travel improvements; field survey; plats and legal descriptions for right-of-way and easement acquisitions; identification of detention requirements; flood plain determination; hydrology/hydraulic analysis; wetland delineation; soils investigation; structural design work for retaining walls and culverts; aesthetics evaluation; public involvement activities; and environmental coordination (PESA and PSI) and approvals (biological, cultural, wetland and special waste). Coordination with LCSMC, utility companies, permitting agencies and local communities will be part of the work. The study shall include a multi-year phased plan for construction for programming purposes. Although the project will initially be funded by local funds, the work shall be developed as being eligible for possible federal funding to be used for construction. The basis of evaluation will be 25% technical approach, 15% firm experience, 20% specialized expertise, 20% team capabilities, 15% past performance, and 5% workload capacity.
