ITEM SUMMARY:
The DuPage Business Park, located in the southwest side of the City of West Chicago, has seen major
developments over the past few years which has resulted in an increased traffic volume. To protect the
safety of the motorists, the City desires to install a traffic signal at the intersection of IL-38 (Roosevelt Rd)
and Technology Boulevard. The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) has the jurisdiction over IL-
38, while the City has the jurisdiction over Technology Boulevard.
In April 2021, the City hired Gewalt Hamilton Associates, Inc. (GHA) to perform a traffic signal warrant
study at this intersection. The study concluded the intersection meets the traffic volume to warrant a
traffic signal. The traffic signal warrant study was submitted to IDOT for its review and it also concluded
that the traffic volumes will meet warrants for a traffic signal. IDOT has requested to submit an
Intersection Design Study (IDS) for this location.
The City Staff reached out to GHA to provide a professional engineering services proposal that would
include the preparation of an IDS, topographic survey, traffic signal installation plan, traffic signal
interconnect plans, small geometric improvements and bidding assistance. GHA initially submitted a
proposal in the amount of $52,550.00 which did not include bidding assistance. After negotiations, the
proposal has been revised to include bidding assistance and the proposal has been reduced to
$51,950.00.
Staff recommends a professional engineering design service contract be awarded to Gewalt Hamilton
Associates, Inc. for the IL 38 and Technology Boulevard Traffic Signal Project in the amount not to
exceed $51,950.00. The design services are budgeted for in the account 08-34-53-4863 ($52,000).
ACTIONS PROPOSED:
Approve Resolution No. 22-R-0010 authorizing the Mayor to execute a Professional Engineering Design
Services contract with Gewalt Hamilton Associates, Inc. for the IL 38 and Technology Boulevard Traffic
Signal Project for an amount not to exceed $51,950.00
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The Infrastructure Committee voted 6-0 for approval.
