Dundee at Railroad Tracks - Water Main Replacement - Village of Northbrook

Site work for a water / sewer project in Northbrook, Illinois. Conceptual plans call for site work for a water / sewer project. The 16-inch cast iron Dundee Road water main was installed in 1963. The water main is located under the railroad and West Fork of the North Branch of the Chicago River. A failure of this main could impair the Village's ability to supply water to the western portions of the community and impact traffic on a major arterial roadway and potentially commuter rail service on the Milwaukee District North Line. This main will be replaced with a 24-inch diameter pipe. Design and completion of this work will require the Village to work with the Illinois Department of Transportation, the Cook County Forest Preserve District, and Metra. Due to the complexity of the terrain and proximity to the railroad, Dundee Road, and Cook County Forest Preserve, a consultant was contracted to complete the design, which began in FY 2019/2020 and will be completed in FY 2021/2022. The original design contemplated acquiring a license agreement with Cook County Forest Preserve District on the north side of Dundee Road. This license could not be secured and design was shifted to the south side of Dundee Road. The consultant has identified the need to acquire a number of easements for this revised design. Staff anticipates these easements will be acquired in FY 2022/2023 with final design following, and construction will begin in FY 2023/2024. If the easements cannot be acquired, the Village will need to consider other options for completing this project. This project is included in the city's 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). As of July 12, 2022, further details regarding design and construction have not been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change.
