Orchard Road Noise Barrier Design

The City of Aurora, Illinois (City) is in need of professional services from qualified engineering consultant for professional engineering design of a sound wall/noise barrier. This design is to replace an existing wooden fence along 6,265 linear feet of Orchard Road.

The City of Aurora partnered with Kane County in 2004 to construct a wooden fence along portions of both sides of Orchard Road between W Indian Trail and Prairie Street as part of roadway improvements. This fence, which was intended to provide a physical barrier and reduce noise pollution at the adjacent single-family homes, is in substantial disrepair and does not provide adequate sound attenuation.

Draft layout plans were previously prepared which indicate the locations of the existing fence relative to adjacent property lines (no right of way acquisition is required).
