Board approves engineering design for redundant water main and booster station upgrades
Summary
Trustees authorized a phase 2 engineering design agreement with Baxter and Woodman Inc. to design a redundant water main and improvements to two booster stations; the transcript records a likely transcription error in the stated not-to-exceed amount.
The Carpentersville Board on Feb. 17 approved a professional services agreement for phase 2 engineering design with Baxter and Woodman Inc. to design a redundant water main route through Raceway Woods and Dundee Township open space and to plan upgrades to Booster Stations 1 and 2.
Director Gray told trustees the village currently relies on a single 16-inch water main feeding the west side; over the past decade the main had experienced several breaks and the project will provide two alternative route options and easement plats for affected property owners. The scope also includes pump replacement at the booster stations and work to make Newport Cove Booster Station available as a redundant pressure source.
As read into the record, the not-to-exceed dollar amount contains a likely transcription error (recorded in the transcript as "$242,149,800"). The presentation described preparing easement plats (possibly involving two to three property owners) and noted existing emergency interconnects with West Dundee and Algonquin would remain available for emergency operations.
Vote: Trustees moved and seconded the item and approved it on a roll-call vote. Manager Stewart and Director Gray said this is phase 2 of a multi-phase effort; future phases will include construction and possible additional budget amendments.
What’s next: Staff will proceed with design, initiate easement negotiations and return with construction-phase contracts and cost estimates for future board action.
