body

 

DEPARTMENT:                     Transportation, Engineering and Development

 

SUBMITTED BY:                     Andrew Hynes, P.E., Deputy Director of Transportation, Engineering and Development/City Engineer

 

BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
N/A

 

BACKGROUND:

Three projects on or adjacent to the Riverwalk are currently in progress:

•                     Eagle Street Gateway

•                     Fredenhagen Park Fountain Repairs

•                     Fredenhagen Park Miscellaneous Repairs

 

A status update for each project is provided below.

 

DISCUSSION:

Eagle Street Gateway

Construction continues the Eagle Street Gateway project.  The low flow walk is substantially complete (see photo below) and various retaining walls and foundations have been installed.  The cofferdam in the river has also been removed.  Completion is expected in October.

 

 

 

Fredenhagen Park Fountain Repairs

At the July 15th City Council meeting, a change order to authorize additional work to replace the electric cable and conduit that powers the fountain lights as well as install a drain valve on the chlorinator system was denied.  The conduit for the lighting system can be installed for the lighting system within the project contingency.  This will allow the potential to add fountain lighting later without disturbing the new waterproof liner.  The project is expected to be completed in September.

 

 

Fredenhagen Park Miscellaneous Repairs

The Naperville Park District received three quotes to paint and clean various components within Fredenhagen Park.  The low bidder was Allied Painting with a low bid of $17,400.  The award of this contract is in progress.
