Summary: The extension of the Phase III Engineering Services contract for the Des Plaines River Trail, Segment Three, is necessary to address the punch list items mandated by the City of Chicago before they can approve the work at the River Road and Bryn Mawr pedestrian crossing. To complete these tasks, the contractor had to obtain a new permit from the City of Chicago Office of Underground Construction which takes 3-6 months. The Phase III Engineer oversees the coordination and execution of punch list items and facilitates Illinois Department of Transportation (“IDOT”) audits to close-out the construction contract.
