IV. LINNEMAN RQAD RECONSTRUCTION . STATIbI$ REPORT
For well over a decade, there has been discussion of the need to improve the
condition of Linneman Road from its southern terminus at Dempster Street north
for its entire length where it intersects with Golf Road. The roadway is
just under one mile in length and was originally constructed by the Township.
'Pae roadway is built u~ au extremely poor sub-base and contains no curb, gutter
or storm sewers. Over the years, roadway deterioration has steadily accelerated
as the edge of pavement continues to break down and the sub-base continues to
be degraded. The Public Works Department has attempted to repair the road
through spot patching,.pothole repair and shoulder maintenance without much
success. The only real long-term, cost-eft~ctive solution to this problem is a total
reconstruction of the r(x[dway. That reconstruction would include proper curb and
gutter and storm sewur '.~pg~udes. Unless these latter amenities are included in
the reconstruction project, ~he life expectancy of the new roadway would be
seriously compromised.
Several very important factors come into play when discussing a course of action
for dealing with the problem:
I. Concern by residents for increased traffic volumes.
2. Drainage issues.
3. Appropriate level of improvements.
4. The need for additional right-of-way acquisition.
5. The cost of undertaking said hnprovements.
The purpose of this evening's meeting is to review the status of the above-
mentioned factors, provide Board members with the most current information,
including cost estim~tes and prepare for a dialogue with residents who not only
live along Linneman Road bt~t also those who have expressed concern in the past
for the condition of the Road. Staff does not anticipate a final decision to be
made at this meeting nor will it make a specific recommendation regarding
roadway configuration. !towever, a discussion should begin at this time so that
we can factor this project into tide i993/1994 Village Budget process if necessary.
Village staff will be in attendance to provide further detail and to answer any
questions that you may have.
V. POLICE AND FIRE 1-tEADQUARTERS UPDATE
Construction continues on the Police and Fire Headquarters building with a
substantial completion date of June 7, 1993 anticipated. At this time, the building
is weather tight with interior construction activity continuing apace. Police
Cormnander Joseph Kolanowski has been serving as the Village's Project
Coordinator. His close oversight and coordination efforts between the General
Cnntractor, Arcbitect u:~d Village staff have resulted in a smooth construction
procuss with minimal need for additional construction-related change items.
While staff brings forward a Change Order of $51,796, the construction-related
items included therein total less than $I,000 net of several construction-related
crec~its received. The i>:dance of the Change Order constitutes costs associated
with a reqL;ested schcd~: c extension due to circumstances beyond the control of
the genera] cnmractor l"hese circumstances inch~de the initial delay due to the
ti[sci>very of an underground storage tank, related problems with contaminated
water and soil and additional delays due to the poor sub-surface conditions. The
Change Order request also seeks a second amendment to the contract with the
independent testing service who is conducting field tests on soils, compaction rates
and concrete quality. The need for this testing is critical to the long-term
structural integrity of thc building.
.4.11 other cost items remuin on target and within budget. It is especially important
to note that the project remains some $320,000 under the Referendum estimate.
Your package of inform:~tion includes an itemized listing of the requested change
items as well as a rec:~? on the total project budget. Appropriate staff as well as
representatives from D(u~ohue and the general contractor, A. J. Maggio, will be
in attendance.
