Berwyn council approves streetscape, green‑alley agreement and $349,491.36 Ogden Avenue pay estimate

The City of Berwyn Monday approved multiple infrastructure items, including a local public agency funding agreement with the Illinois Department of Transportation for Sixteenth Street streetscape improvements, an intergovernmental agreement with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency for the Green Alley Program, and payment of $349,491.36 for work on the Ogden Avenue water main and sewer project.

Senior engineer Campbell presented the IDOT funding agreement for the Sixteenth Street Scape Improvements; a motion to adopt the resolution authorizing the mayor to sign the local public agency funding agreement carried on a roll call vote.

The council also adopted a resolution approving an intergovernmental agreement with the Illinois EPA related to the Green Alley Program for the city.

On the Ogden Avenue water main and sewer project, the council approved pay estimate No. 4 in the amount of $349,491.36. The motion described the pay estimate to the project contractor and specified the payment would be made from ARPA funds.

Why it matters: These actions authorize state and federal participation in a local streetscape project, secure state environmental assistance for green‑alley work, and approve a nearing‑completion contractor payment on a utility rehabilitation project. The funding agreement with IDOT and the IEPA agreement are prerequisites for state participation and reimbursement.

Formal actions: Resolutions for the Sixteenth Street funding agreement and the Green Alley intergovernmental agreement were adopted by roll call with aye votes recorded. The pay estimate for the Ogden Avenue water main and sewer project was approved by motion; the motion noted the ARPA funding source.

Less critical detail: Council member roll calls recorded ayes for the motions; each motion carried with the required majority and no amendments were made in the meeting record.
