The Village of Orland Park board on July 7 recommended a contract award for construction engineering services for a roundabout at 153rd Street and Ravinia Avenue and confirmed grant and local funding commitments for the project.
Trustee motion recommended a contract with eXp US Services Inc. for a not-to-exceed $355,149 engineering scope presented by staff.
