ITEM SUMMARY:
The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) under its contract #62P22 is proposing a project along
IL-59 from Edgewood Walk to Kress Creek (just north of Joliet St), including portions of west Joliet St.
The major scope of work includes resurfacing within the project limits, intersection improvements at Joliet
St and a new traffic signal at Joliet St. The project also includes interconnecting traffic signals along IL-59
between IL-56 (Butterfield Rd) to IL-64 (North Ave) as well as some traffic signal improvements at IL-59
and James Ave. An Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) is being proposed by IDOT to cover the costs for
improvements which are under the jurisdiction of City of West Chicago, mainly as it relates to the west leg
of Joliet St.
Over the last few months, staff along with assistance from Thomas Engineering Group has reviewed the
plans provided by IDOT. All previous comments have been satisfactorily addressed.
Per Exhibit A of the attached IGA, IDOT is anticipating that the City will be responsible for approximately
$9,387.00 of the approximately $1.6 million dollar project. All City cost are associated with the west leg of
traffic signal at IL-59 and Joliet St. Please note the exact cost of City’s participation will be determined
after the bid opening and final costs will be determined based on as-built conditions at the completion of
the project. Typically, cost participation items on IDOT contract requires municipalities to pay 80% of its
cost upon award of the contract and remainder 20% at the completion of the project.
Staff recommends approval of the IGA. Although this is an unbudgeted item in FY2022, funds are
available in 08-34-53-4863.
ACTIONS PROPOSED:

62P22 for improvements along State Route IL-59
