Will County committee confirms resurfacing, engineering and speed-zone actions
Summary
The Transportation Committee confirmed multiple contract awards and approvals: resurfacing contracts, professional services agreements, speed-zone changes, condemnation authority for right-of-way on Francis Road, and an access agreement for a solar farm.
The Will County Transportation Committee confirmed a series of routine construction and traffic items, including contract awards for resurfacing projects, professional services agreements for construction engineering and utility relocation reimbursements, speed-zone changes, condemnation authority for right-of-way on Francis Road and an access agreement for a solar farm.
Why it matters: these approvals move planned resurfacing and engineering contracts toward construction and address traffic-safety and right-of-way needs tied to ongoing county capital work.
Committee members moved and seconded several items in a single agenda sequence. Highlights included: - Confirmation of an award to Gallagher Asphalt Corporation for resurfacing on Elevator Road (County Board District 2). The motion carried. - Confirmation of an award for Troy Road District resurfacing (various roadways) and other routine resurfacing awards; motions carried. - Approval of a professional services agreement with Transystems Corporation for Phase 3 construction engineering on the Lorenzo Road grade separation over the BNSF railroad (County Board District 1); the committee approved the agreement. - Authorization of an agreement with Northern Illinois Gas Company (Nicor) for reimbursement to relocate facilities for the Lehi Road improvement (Cedar Road to Spencer Road, County Board District 2). The committee approved the reimbursement authorization. - Approval of supplemental professional services for River Road and Peotone Road projects and establishment of altered speed zones 698 (Offner Road) and 699 (Shear Road) within the named township road districts. - Authorization for the State's Attorney's Office to proceed with condemnation cases related to improvements on Francis Road (County Highway 604 from Gougar Road to I-80) to secure right-of-way. - Granting access and egress for a solar farm on Manhattan Arsenal Road (County Board District 2).
Each item was put to committee motion and passed; the record shows standard "motion carries" outcomes and follow-up steps for contract administration and enforcement. Where a roll call was taken, the clerk recorded "aye" votes with no extensive debate on the individual awards.
