ITEM SUMMARY:
The DuPage Business Park, located on the southwest side of West Chicago, has seen major
developments over the past few years, resulting in increased traffic volume. To protect the safety of
motorists, the City desires to install a traffic signal at the intersection of IL-38 (Roosevelt Road) and
Technology Boulevard. The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) has jurisdiction over IL-38, while
the City has jurisdiction over Technology Boulevard.
In 2020, State Senator Karina Villa, as part of the Public Act 102-0017, included improvements
associated with this traffic signal to be appropriated from the Build Illinois Bond Fund via the Illinois
Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO). At the time of application, the cost
associated with these improvements was listed at $600,000.00. The grant agreement was fully executed
by DCEO on September 27, 2023.
On February 21, 2022, the City Council approved Resolution No. 22-R-0010 authorizing the Mayor to
execute the initial contract with Gewalt Hamilton Associated, Inc. (GHA) for engineering services related
to Phase II — Design, which included the preparation of an intersection design study, topographic survey,
traffic signal installation plan, traffic signal interconnect plans, minor geometric improvements, and
bidding assistance in the amount of $51,950.00. On August 7, 2023, the City Council approved
Resolution No. 23-R-0070 authorizing the Mayor to execute Amendment No. 1 with GHA for the
engineering design services for an amount not to exceed $27,300.00, for a revised contract amount of
$79,250.00, to begin the detailed design of the project, including the intersection lighting, and prepare bid
documents. On August 5, 2024, the City Council approved Resolution No. 24-R-0055 authorizing the
Mayor to execute Amendment No. 2 to GHA’s contract for the IL-38 and Technology Boulevard Traffic
Signal Project in an amount not to exceed $24,900.00, for a revised contract amount of $104,150, to
switch funding sources to Motor Fuel Tax and submit plans for approval to IDOT Bureau of Local Roads
(BLRS).
Staff and GHA have ongoing project coordination with IDOT BLRS for the involvement of the State Route
and for the use of Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) funds for the construction. The additional scope for GHA
includes longer than expected coordination and response to review comments from IDOT BLRS,
preparation and submittal of Preliminary Environmental Site Assessment (PESA) response and
Transportation Management Plan (TMP) as required by IDOT BLRS.
