BACKGROUND:
It is the Naper Settlement's operations directive to improve the safety and security at the museum campus through this planned perimeter fence and gate improvement project. Naper Settlement submitted capital improvement project (CIP) NS060 which was approved for implementation during the 2023 capital budget cycle to support this capital improvement directive. The purpose of this project is the replacement of the existing, multi-material, aged, and varied height fence and pedestrian and vehicle entry gates located along the perimeter at Webster St., Porter Avenue, and adjacent to Naperville Central High School and the south border of Naper Settlement campus.
The base project scope specifications and improvements include installing new six-foot tall metal fence to match the NS fence standard and installation of manual and electronic gates with card reader access which will improve the safety and security oversight for the museum. Other scopes will include but are not limited to the demolition of existing fences, removal of obstructive trees and vegetation, minimal grading, river rock installation under new fence lengths and general landscape restoration. Gate improvements at the Webster Street vehicle and pedestrian gates will include a new cantilevered electrified vehicle gate with access control programming.
