Mr. Kwasneski Page 3 In order that the STATE and the VILLAGE may benefit by this proposed improvement, we are requesting concurrence with the following: 1. The STATE agrees to make the surveys, obtain all necessary rights of way, prepare plans and specifications, receive bids and award the contract, furnish engineering inspection during construction and cause the improvement to be built in accordance with the approved plans, specifications, and contract. 2. Previous discussions with the VILLAGE have indicated that the VILLAGE is not interested in participating in additional work such as street lighting, additional sidewalks, parking lanes, etc. Therefore, the STATE will pay for all surveys, construction, and engineering costs. However, we will expect the VILLAGE to adopt and put into effect the following ordinances prior to the STATE advertising for bids: A. An ordinance requiring parking within the designated parking lanes be parallel to the curbs and prohibited at all other locations within the limits of the improvement, a copy of which is attached hereto and will in the future, prohibit parking at such locations on or immediately adjacent to the improvement as may be determined necessary by the STATE from traffic capacity studies. B. An ordinance prohibiting sanitary sewer and industrial waste water discharge into any drainage facilities constructed as part of the improvement. C. An ordinance relative to the disposition of existing encroachments and prohibiting in the future any new encroachments within the limits of the improvement, a copy of which is attached hereto. The disposition of encroachments will be cooperatively determined with the VILLAGE and STATE representatives. Copies of samples ordinances are attached which you may use as guides. Copies of the adopted or existing ordinances, as mentioned above, will need to be in our files prior to our recommending construction of this improvement. Mr. Kwasneski Page 4 3. We expect the VILLAGE to provide us with a letter, prior to the STATE advertising for the work to be performed hereunder, approving the plans and specifications as prepared. The plans and specifications will be forwarded as soon as they are available for your inspection and use, together with a request for your approval. 4. We ask the VILLAGE not to permit driveway entrance openings to be made in the curb, as constructed, of STATE maintained highways improved as part of our project, without first obtaining our consent. 5. The STATE will cause private utilities to be relocated at no expense to the STATE or VILLAGE. Where a municipal utility has been installed 1. on right of way acquired by the Illinois Department of Transportation or 2. within defined limits of a route the Illinois Department of Transportation has accepted for maintenance responsibilities, subsequent to the date of such acceptance the VILLAGE will bear all utility relocation or adjustment costs made necessary by the construction of this improvement. 6. Upon completion of the improvement and final field inspection by the STATE, and so long as IL. Route 83, and IL. Route 171 (within the limits of the improvement) are used as State Highways, the STATE will maintain, or cause to be maintained, the median, the through traffic lanes, the turning lanes, and the curb and gutter or stabilized shoulders and ditches adjacent to those lanes, excluding the bikeway and its appurtenances. The STATE will be responsible for the maintenance of lane line and median line markings. The STATE will need to access the proposed bike trail below the IL. Route 83 Bridge for maintenance and construction of the bridge structure. 7. Upon completion of the improvement and final field inspection by the STATE, and so long as IL. Route 83, and IL. Route 171 (within the limits of the improvement) are used as State Highways, the VILLAGE will maintain those portions of the improvement (within VILLAGE limits) not maintained by the STATE, including all manholes, catch basins, parkways, storm sewers, sidewalks, VILLAGE owned utilities and appurtenances, as well as stopline and pavement markings. The VILLAGE will also be responsible for the maintenance of the mast arm cross street signing facing VILLAGE maintained streets. Mr. Kwasneski Page 5 8. Upon final field inspection of the bike path and bike bridge, the VILLAGE agrees to assume responsibility for the administration, control, reconstruction, and maintenance of the bike path and bike bridge extension from the proposed Illinois Route 83 alignment to the existing I & M Canal bike path, including the retaining wall adjacent to the bake path, the bridge handrail, and possible shielding, if necessary, to preclude concrete from falling onto the bike path. The VILLAGE further agrees that should future STATE highway project (s) necessitate the relocation/realignment of that portion of the bikeway located on STATE right of way, the VILLAGE shall cause the aforesaid adjustment to be made at no expense to the STATE. 9. Upon acceptance by the STATE of the traffic signal work included herein, the financial responsibility for the maintenance and electrical energy charges for the operation of the signal(s) shall be proportioned as follows: Intersection Level of Maintenance Electrical Maintenance En ma=y IL. Route 83 II at Archer /107th Street STATE Share 100% 100% VILLAGE Share 0% 0% It is understood that the actual signal maintenance will be performed by the STATE either with its own forces or through an ongoing contractual agreement, and that the signals shall be maintained to at least the Level of Maintenance shown above.
