SUBJECT: A Resolution Approving A Professional Services Consulting Agreement
Between H.W. Lochner, Inc. and the Village of Lemont for the Smith Road
Area Corridor Study
DATE: June 9, 2025
SUMMARY/BACKGROUND
Presented for Village Board approval is a profession services consulting agreement that would
conduct a corridor study for Smith Road from 135th Street to 127th Street near the Village of
Lemont to evaluate the existing conditions, the potential improvements to restrict truck traffic,
among other goals. The project would include a data collection and review component
(existing plans, traffic data, etc.) of the various roads within the area, an economic
development study (land use and zoning review, utility service feasibility), an analysis of
proposed improvement (truck routing, capacity), truck restriction options (jurisdictional transfer
options and legal requirements), etc. There will be a final corridor study report presented to a
future committee meeting upon completion of the project.
The study was discussed at the May Committee of the Whole where the board made comment
and was favorable on the project. The not to exceed costs of the engagement is $86,986. A
portion of the project was was funded in the FY 25-26 budget, as it was first planned as an
economic development study for the corridor during that time period. After further review and
feedback of the conditions, a more comprehensive study of the truck routing/restriction and
related conditions is also needed at this time for the board to make better informed decisions
for this area. As a result, staff recommends moving forward with the full comprehensive study
at this time and we can amend the budget accordingly.

cost prepared for the Client. GHA shall not be liable for cost differentials between the bid and/or actual costs and

on its sole determination, it wants more certainty respecting construction costs.

their work as called for by the Construction Documents. The Client agrees that the Contractor is solely responsible for

submissions that concern GHA's scope of Basic Services and only for the purpose of assessing if, upon successful
incorporation in the project, they are generally consistent with the GHA's Instruments of Service. Client agrees that the
Contractor is solely responsible for the submissions and for compliance with the Instruments of Service. Owner agrees
that GHA's review and action in relation to the submissions does not constitute the provision of means, methods,
techniques, sequencing or procedures of construction or extend to jobsite or worker safety. GHA's consideration of a
