ITEM SUMMARY:
The Nuclear Drive and Northwest Avenue Reconstruction Project (Project), as denoted in the enclosed location
map, has a total length of approximately 0.44 miles or 2,323 feet. The scope of the Project includes full-depth
reconstruction and widening of the roadway pavement with jointed PCC pavement, streetlight removal and
replacement, new sidewalk construction, installation of ADA-compliant detectable warnings and curb ramps,
driveway removal and replacement with curb & gutter, relocation of fire hydrants, miscellaneous structure
adjustments, reconstruction, and replacements, utility pipe repairs, parkway grading and restoration, pavement
markings, traffic control and protection, and miscellaneous items to complete the project. The Project is tentatively
scheduled for a spring 2025 local letting with construction anticipated to begin in the summer of 2025, pending
timely approval of plans and specifications by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT). The estimated
construction cost is $2,747,531.69.
On October 31, 2023, the City was awarded Economic Development Program (EDP) grant funds by IDOT for an
amount not to exceed $930,000.00 for this Project. The Project will be generally funded using Local and EDP grant
funds. As part of the implementation process prior to local letting, the City must approve and execute the Joint
Funding Agreement for State Participation (BLR 05310S) with IDOT. Currently, the local match is estimated to be
$1,817,531.69. The exact amount of the City’s local match will be determined upon project closeout.
The FY 2025 budget includes $2,400,000.00 in Motor Fuel Tax Fund Account No. 16-34-58-4807, $100,000.00 in
Water Fund Account No. 06-34-47-4806, and $80,000.00 in Sewer Fund Account No. 05-34-43-4806 for a total
budgeted amount of $2,580,000.00. The City will have to upfront the construction cost and seek reimbursement of
the EDP funds in the amount not to exceed $930,000.00 from IDOT upon project closeout.
Staff recommends approval of the Joint Funding Agreement for State Participation (BLR 05310S) for subsequent
review and approval by IDOT.
