Pingree Grove OKs $77,600 engineering agreement for 2026 streets program and accepts CMAP pavement-assessment grant
Summary
The board approved a Fairgram contract up to $77,600 for 2026 streets design and construction engineering and passed an intergovernmental agreement with the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) for a pavement condition assessment; the consultant’s total cost is $40,000, with the village share listed as $3,000.
The Village of Pingree Grove board on Oct. 6 approved two items intended to guide and scale the village’s near-term street work: a professional services agreement with Fairgram and Associates for design and construction engineering for the 2026 streets program in an amount not to exceed $77,600, and an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) to deliver a pavement condition assessment funded largely by a grant.
Village staff said the 2026 program will be smaller than prior years to conserve Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) funds for larger future projects—most notably the Reinking–Damish roundabout and a planned multi-use path along Route 72. The scaled program will emphasize pavement rejuvenator work in neighborhoods recently resurfaced, targeted patching, curb and gutter and sidewalk repairs, preventative maintenance to multi-use paths, and completion of a long-planned Railroad Street parking lot in the Heritage District. Staff said most design costs for the Railroad Street lot were paid previously; the current work would complete the project if a pending agreement with the railroad is finalized.
The CMAP technical assistance will have a consultant survey every village-owned road with specialized equipment that indexes pavement condition; staff said preliminary data should be available this winter and a final presentation to the board is expected in spring. Staff said the consultant’s total cost is $40,000 and the village’s share under the grant is $3,000.
The board approved both measures by roll call. Staff said the pavement-management index will help prioritize resurfacing over the next five years and that the village plans to save MFT funds for larger capital needs.
