Rice, City Manager SUBJECT: Amendment to Valley Creek Intersection Agreement Several weeks ago the City and Valley Creek of Elgin, Inc. came to final agreement on a cost apportionment for the 1978 et al annexation contract for their development. This final document provided for City participation to a maximum 50% of the Lyle bridge - and Valley Creek' s assumption of a portion of the Randall/Royal intersection improvement costs. The contract has been prepared (attached) but the included letter from Valley Creek asks for a clarification amendment limiting their participation in the Royal intersection to a "not-to-exceed" amount. I seemed to have remembered that issue being discussed, and since the City specified a maximum cost for the bridge I can recommend the City Council approve such language for the Royal intersection. Such a change will require Council ap- proval. FINANCIAL IMPACT Since the county is only now getting the intersection completed, the final costs for the east leg (Valley Creek's portion) may exceed the estimated $102,500. Thus, the City could have a small additional cost over and above that amount. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended the City Council approve amendatory language in the agreement with Valley Creek to provide for a "not-to-exceed" amount of $102,500 for the Randall/Royal intersection costs . La ry . Ri, e, City Manager LLR:amp Attachments 411 October 3, 1991 MEMORANDUM TO: Larry L. Rice FROM: Ralph L. Ridley a(;)1\ SUBJECT: Valley Creek - City of Elgin Jerry Hoover sent the attached letter to Mel for his consideration. I have spoken to Jerry Hoover and he is adamant about getting the City Council to change the agreement to match the comments in the letter. We do no understand his concerns about items 1 and 2 as they have already been satisfied. His concern over item 4 is because of the not to exceed cost the Council agreed to for the bridge over Tyler Creek the Council agreed to pay. He would like to see the not to exceed amount of $102,500 in the agreement. In speaking to Ery he stated that the Council agreed to the language in the agreement and any change to it would have to be approved by the Council. Our concern centers around the payout request we have received A7) from the County that amounts to approximately $60,000 for Valley Creek's share of the Randall Road and Royal Boulevard signalization project. The balance of the pay request is being forwarded •to Safety Kleen for their payment. Please contact either Mel or I with any questions you may have in this regard.

ENGINEERING DEPT. City Engineer - City of Elgin 150 Dexter Court Elgin, IL 60120 Re: Valley Creek - City of Elgin Agreement / Signals & Bridge Dear Mel : Attached is a copy of an agreement that I picked up from Ralph Ridley last week concerning the above. I believe the agreement was prepared by you and reviewed by the City attorney. I don't know if Larry Rice has seen it or not. Charles Burnidge and I worked on this agreement with Larry Rice and the City Council . Charles and I don't think the wording in this document is what we agreed upon and we would like to propose the following changes: Page 2- Par.(1) -should be omitted since it has already been done and is redundant. (2) -"to solicit and receive bids for construction of the structure following approval of the plans and specifica- tions by the City and the Department of Transporation and upon approval by the City, award the contract," - has already been done and should not be in the agreement. (3) -is fine as is. (4) -"estimate to be" -should be stricken. We agreed upon $102,500. Or if you want to use the language used in paragraph (3), that would be O.K. (5) - O.K. as is. (6) - O.K. as is. (7) - is fine. If you want to retype this or just mark it up, we are ready to sign it. Sincerely, .
