Title
Joint resolution authorizing the execution of Amendment 1 to the agreement between Lake County and the City of Waukegan for the improvements to Delany Road so as to accommodate the inclusion of the City of Waukegan’s watermain relocation costs as part of Section 00-00093-17-WR.
Staff Summary
· Delany Road Improvement (Sunset Avenue to York House Road); City of Waukegan Agreement: Amendment 1.
· The County has awarded a contract to widen and reconstruct Delany Road, from Sunset Avenue northerly to York House Road.
· On August 11, 2009, the Lake County Board approved an agreement with the City of Waukegan for their portion of the cost of the improvement, but which agreement did not include the costs of the watermain relocation to be undertaken by the City independently.
· The City has had difficulty in acquiring the necessary easements for the watermain relocation and funding the work.
· Amendment No. 1 is to ensure that construction of the County’s Delany Road improvement can move forward in a way that benefits both parties.
· The County and the City will swap portions of roads that better meet their roadway system functions: the County receives Lewis Avenue (Sunset Avenue to York House Road) and the City receives the dead end portion of York House Road, Delany Road to Canadian Pacific Rail Road (CP RR).
· The County will save funds from the programmed resurfacing of York House Road (CP RR tracks to Delany Road), while the City will save the amount of the watermain costs.
· The watermain work will be added as Change Order No. 3 to the County contract in the amount of approximately $1M, and this resolution resets the change order base so future change orders can be processed as originally required.
