PROPOSED INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT AMENDMENT
Department: Department of Planning and Development
Other Part(ies): Cook County Department of Transportation and Highways
Request: Authority for the Forest Preserves of Cook County (the “Forest Preserves”) to extend an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Cook County Department of Transportation and Highways (“CCDOTH”).
Goods or Services: Agreement for CCDOTH to provide up to $25 million of its motor fuel tax funds for various Forest Preserves transportation improvements.
Agreement Number: N/A
Agreement Period: 2/27/2020 – 2/26/2026
Proposed Extension: 2/27/2026 - 12/31/2027
Fiscal Impact: N/A
Accounts: N/A
District(s): Districtwide
Summary: The Forest Preserves is seeking to extend this existing Intergovernmental Agreement with CCDOTH due to delays in completing trail projects that have been authorized for Motor Fuel Tax funding by CCDOTH within the original term of the Agreement. The extension would also allow additional time for final closeout and invoicing of project costs by Forest Preserves contractors and final billing of the required local match for federally-funded projects by the Illinois Department of Transportation. Final amendment is subject to legal review and approval.
