North Judson Town Council members approved an amended version of the owner-engineer agreement with CommonWealth Engineers when they met Monday night.
Project Engineer Rob Bellucci spoke on behalf of the firm. He alerted members that since the base agreement only covered the services provided for the environmental report, an amendment had to be made in order for the agreement to encompass other aspects of the projects. Bellucci explained, “This amendment will take us into the design the phase and on page three is an outline of all the phases covered under this amendment; preliminary/final design, it will take us through bidding and construction and also through post-construction.”
Bellucci mentioned that his design team has already held a preliminary meeting with Town Superintendent Marshall Horstmann on site to go over some initial information.
Clerk-Treasurer Andrew Rowe noted that the agreement with CommonWealth Engineers pertains to both the drinking water and wastewater projects. Town officials will be working with the engineering firm to handle as many portions of the project concurrently to save time and money.
