Deerfield trustees concur with IDOT on Hazel Avenue reconstruction; project totals about $10.2 million
Summary
The Village Board voted to concur with IDOT's award for reconstruction of Hazel Avenue (Wilmot to Waukegan), accepting a low bid amid higher-than-estimated prices; the project is roughly $10.2 million with $4.7 million in federal STP funds and a village funding gap to be addressed through reserves or budget adjustments.
The Village of Deerfield Board of Trustees on Dec. 2 concurred with the Illinois Department of Transportation(IDOT) award to the apparent low bidder for the Hazel Avenue reconstruction project, a full rebuild that staff estimates at about $10.2 million.
Bob Parker, a village staff member who presented the project history and scope, said the work will replace roughly a mile of water main, upgrade storm drainage capacity, widen sidewalks to six feet and reconstruct the roadway. "It's a pretty big project, so and big dollar amounts," Parker said, noting the corridorwas built in segments from the 1930s through the 1980s and requires full reconstruction rather than resurfacing.
