Director of Public Works Sean Dorsey provided information regarding a request to amend the design
engineering services contract with Christopher B. Burke Engineering for the Aspen Trails Park
Stormwater Improvements project. Mr. Dorsey provided background on the Levee 37 collaborative
project that was completed in 2011.
Mr. Dorsey stated Christopher B. Burke Engineering was hired by the Village in 2015 to investigate the
causes of flooding tributary to the levee system when the Des Plaines River levels are elevated. Mr.
Dorsey summarized Christopher B. Burke's 2015 Levee 37 Flood Study report. Mr. Dorsey stated two
projects were developed as a result of this study, Burning Bush Trails Park and Aspen Trials Park
stormwater management facilities. The Burning Bush Trails park construction began in 2019 and was
completed in 2020. The park will remain closed to the public throughout the winter and a 2021 spring
re -opening is planned. Mr. Dorsey stated a portion of this project was funded by a $1.3 Stormwater
Partnership grant from the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago.
Mr. Dorsey stated the planned improvements for Aspen Trails park include construction of a 17 acre-
feet underground stormwater detention vault beneath the existing park. Due to the unique nature of the
area including its' proximity to an adjacent school, public sidewalks and homes, it was determined an
underground vault system was best suited for this project. Mr. Dorsey provided a summary of the three
(3) design concepts developed by Christopher B. Burke.
Mr. Dorsey detailed staff's commitment to secure grant funding from several programs including
MWRDGC Stormwater Partnership Program, the Rebuild Ilinois Grant Program, and the Federal
Emergency Management Agency's Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities. Staff has
also explored the feasibility of low-interest State of Illinois Revolving Funds loans for this project.
Mr. Dorsey stated the Village Board awarded a contract to Christopher B. Burke Engineering for
project development and design engineering services necessary to design stormwater detention
facilities for the storm sewer basin tributary to Levee 37. Mr. Dorsey stated the approved funds have
been expended and additional funds are necessary to complete designs, plans and bid documents for
the Aspen Trails Stormwater Improvements. Mr. Dorsey provided additional details and staff
recommendation.
