Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution authorizes a fourth amendment to agreement 21000 with SEH, INC., for professional engineering services for Cross City Trail design and construction administration to allow for 2018-2019 construction of the Cross City Trail from the vicinity of the Heritage Center in Lincoln Park to Irving Park via the community-preferred, Council-approved, “River Route”.
This is expected to be the last amendment to this contract. In total, the four amendments have expanded the original scope of work from Cross City Trail master planning and engineering design of one trail segment to master planning and engineering for five different segments - one from the Lakewalk to the Heritage Center constructed in 2014, one above the Fairmount neighborhood to the zoo constructed in 2016, one following the River Route from Heritage Center to Irving Park that will be completed in 2019, and two connecting the zoo to Spirit Mountain and the Munger Trail, respectively, that have been partially designed for future construction. Engineering is funded by Federal High Priority Funds of $564,800 and capital funds of $439,900.
