Staff Summary

•                     Skokie Valley Bike Path (Laurel Ave to IL Rte 176): Change Order No. 5

•                     This bike path is being built, by agreement, on ComEd and Union Pacific Railroad (UP RR) property.                     

•                     Change orders are needed to be approved by the standing committees for cumulative net increases over 10%.

•                     Construction costs increased due to unexpected length of time for the required Com Ed and Union Pacific Railroad review of plans and work methods.

•                     Alignment changes during construction were made to address the requirements of Com Ed and to address concerns raised by Lake Forest Open Lands. 

•                     Winter installation of the tunnel crossing under UP RR tracks has increased the construction costs.

•                     The total of Change Order # 5 is $325,321.52.
