BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ELGIN, ILLINOIS, that Richard B. Helwig, City Manager, and Dolonna Mecum, City Clerk, be and are hereby authorized and directed to execute an agreement on behalf of the City of Elgin with Hey and Associates, Inc. for professional engineering services for the Tyler Creek Regional Detention Facility, a copy of which is attached hereto and made a part hereof by reference. s/ George VanDeVoorde George VanDeVoorde, Mayor Presented: May 11, 1994 Adopted: May 11, 1994 Omnibus Vote: Yeas 7 Nays 0 Attest: s/ Dolonna Mecum Dolonna Mecum, City Clerk • El 'n ( y Agenda Item No. . April 21, 1994 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Richard B. Helwig, City Manager SUBJECT: Agreement with Hey and Associates, Inc. PURPOSE To provide the Mayor and City Council with information to consider entering into an agreement with Hey and Associates, Inc. , for the performance of a prefeasibility study to provide equivalent storm water detention for Valley Creek. BACKGROUND Valley Creek, over the years, was allowed to develop without on-site storm water detention. Instead, Valley Creek was permitted to contribute funds towards the construction of the Tyler Creek Regional Detention Facility. On June 23, 1993, the City withdrew its 404 permit application from the Corps of Engineers when it became apparent that the permit would not be approved. One of the major concerns of the Corps of Engineers was that no alternative solutions were explored by the City. The prefeasibility study proposed to be conducted by Hey and Associates would identify all alternatives available to the City to obtain a minimum 90 acre feet of equivalent storm water detention west of Eagle Heights. Evaluation criteria will be established and applied to each alternative identified. Alternatives will be ranked and a preferred alternative will be selected and tested. The Corps of Engineers, IEPA, Kane County Forest Preserve, Kane County and Valley Creek will be consulted and kept in- formed of the study. FINANCIAL IMPACT The prefeasibility study is expected to cost $38,000. The prefeasibility study and design report (next phase of the project) have been included in the 1994 budget under account Mayor and Members of the City Council April 21, 1994 Page 2 project) have been included in the 1994 budget under account 378-00-00-796 . 92-32, Project 339501, in the amount of $200,000. The estimated 1994 beginning balance in the Tyler Creek Fund is $1 million. LEGAL IMPACT None.

The revised scope for this work is as follows. PURPOSE The purpose of this work is to provide a pre-feasibility analysis of alternative solutions that will provide at least 100 acre-feet of detention in the Tyler Creek watershed. The alternatives must provide the necessary storage and be ecologically sound. SCOPE OF WORK 1. Review of Existing Documentation A comprehensive review of all existing documentation will be performed. This step is necessary to avoid duplication of work. A preliminary review shows that important and useful work has already been completed that will assist in the development of alternatives to the previous plans. A thorough understanding of the work completed to date is critical to minimizing permitting hurdles in future stages of the project. It will also be necessary to meet with federal, state, and local agencies to obtain data and background information. Cost $ 3,000 Subcontract: Guillou and Associates $ 1,500 2. Definition of Existing Problem and Refinement of Goals Because the goals of the project will be defined by the existing problems, they must be clearly identified. Given the high quality of the Tyler Creek riparian areas, multiple goals may need to be set. It will be necessary that these goals be prioritized with input from all relevant parties. The current status of the Tyler Creek watershed and instream conditions will be analyzed to define the critical issues related to stormwater management. Cost $ 1,000 Subcontract: Guillou and Associates $ 500 Mr. James Kristiansen March 14, 1994 Page 2 3. Additional Data Collection A number of different wetland hydrology, hydraulic, and ecological studies have already been undertaken or will be undertaken as part of other projects. However, data on wetland community location, stream instability and analyses of potential associated ecological impacts is needed to provide a complete definition of issues for this project. A brief aquatic ecological assessment of the corridor from mile 2 to mile 7 also is needed from the perspective of possible project opportunities. This work will build on and not duplicate previous and ongoing studies. Cost $ 6,000 Subcontracts: Guillou and Associates $ 1,500 Dr. Rick Anderson $ 3,000 4. Identification of Alternatives Alternative solutions for the project must be identified. The thorough identification of these alternatives will ensure that feasible solutions are not overlooked. Existing information will be used to begin this process. However, new information and preliminary field investigations also will be used in the identification of alternative solutions. A "no build" option plus alternate scenarios will be considered. Data from the previous study will be used to analyze the necessary flood storage, flood damage, environmental considerations, property ownership, and future growth expectations. The product will be a matrix of alternatives and issues suitable to meet the USEPA 404 (b) (1)guidelines. Cost $ 3,000 Subcontract: Guillou and Associates $ 1,000 5. Feasibility Assessment and Evaluation of Preferred Alternatives. The identified alternatives will be evaluated for their feasibility. This process will eliminate infeasible solutions and will help rank feasible solutions. As before the product will be a matrix which will rank the effectiveness of problem solutions in meeting project goals, capital and maintenance costs of each alternative, impacts to the environment, and permit requirements. This evaluation will result in a draft feasibility report describing preferred alternatives which will be presented to the Elgin City Council for endorsement Cost $ 7,500 Subcontract: Guillou and Associates $ 1,500 6. Testing the Preferred Alternative After selection by the City, the preferred alternative will be tested to ensure that it could be accomplished. A plan for implementation of the alternative will be developed. This plan will include sufficient preliminary engineering to allow reaction from regulatory agencies, more detailed cost estimates and a schedule for implementation of the alternative, including permit submittal requirements. It also will include a discussion of avoidance and minimization and a conceptual mitigation plan. Cost $ 3,500 Subcontract: Guillou and Associates $ 2,500 Mr. James Kristiansen March 14, 1994 Page 3 7. Final Report Preparation After selection by the City,A report will be prepared that summarizes the tasks listed above after discussion of results with Elgin. The report will highlight the recommended solution or solutions and outline the steps necessary for implementation. This document will act as the base for the preliminary permit submittal, based on refinement after final engineering has been completed. Cost $ 2,500 The cost of this project will be $ 26,500 for Hey and Associates, an $ 8,500 subcontract to Guillou and Associates, and a $ 3,000 subcontract for Dr. Anderson for a total of$ 38,000. We will undertake this work on a lump sum basis with the payment schedule to be defined in the contract. We anticipate that after key tasks are completed we will meet to coordinate with Elgin staff to discuss results and next steps. We look forward to working with you on this project. We have marked up a copy of the draft contract you provided with our suggested changes and enclosed it with this letter. Should you have any questions or need more information, please call.
