Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Forest Preserve is seeking the most qualified submitter to provide Phase I Engineering Services, resulting in Project Development Report “PDR” which includes identifying and completing preliminary design of an acceptable solution over, under or across the railroad tracks for Des Plaines River Trail. The scope will include a crossing at the existing location, as well as reviewing alignment changes to see if there is a better location for the crossing. See below under PHASE I ENGINEERING TASKS for more information on the engineering services. Phase I Engineering will be locally funded, but will follow the same process and guidelines as if Federal funds were involved. Federal funds will be pursued for Phase II, Phase III, and Construction. This project will be completed under applicable IDOT & FHWA procedures including BLR and BDE manuals and Forest Preserve standards.
