This <br /> project is a continuation of previous improvements to MLK beginning at Pershing Road and <br /> extending north to approximately 100 feet south of I-72. These improvements were completed in <br /> four phases over the last four to five years by the City, with the exception of the section between <br /> Ash Drive and Shutter Drive which was constructed under separate contract by Wal-Mart. This <br /> last segment over I-72 is planned to relieve trafFic congestion on U.S. Highway 51, improve <br /> accessibility to the areas of the City north of I-72 and east of U.S. Highway 51, and to serve <br /> economic development purposes. <br /> The City Engineer's Office in late November of last year requested proposals from private <br /> consulting firms to provide professional services for the NILK extension project. Four private <br /> consulting firms submitted proposals in response to this request. The firms submitting proposals, <br /> in alphabetical order, were: <br /> Blank, Wesselink, Cook& Associates, Inc. <br /> Homer L. Chastain & Associates <br /> Clark Dietz, Inc. with Phillip W.
