Helwig, City Manager SUBJECT: Engineering Service Agreement with Civiltech Engineering, Inc. for Engineering Services for the Summit Street Sidewalks (ST36 ) PURPOSE This memorandum will provide the Mayor and Council with information to consider entering into an agreement with Civiltech Engineer, Inc. of Itasca, IL to provide Engineering Services associated with the design of sidewalks on Summit Street from Hiawatha to Hunter. A copy of the agreement is attached for consideration. BACKGROUND In the 1994 budget the City Council approved funds for the engineering and design of sidewalks on both sides of Summit Street from Hiawatha Drive to Hunter Drive. The project is expected to include several complex engineering problems including structural retaining walls, drainage design, and traffic signal modifications . The project must be coordinated with the Illinois Department of Transportation because of their jurisdiction over Summit Street ( Illinois Route 58) . On March 18, 1994 three proposals were received to provide professional engineering services in connection with the engineering and preparation of plans, specifications and cost estimates for the project. The three proposals were evaluated by engineering staff for completeness of the proposal, relevant experience of key personnel, etc. , in related civil engineering projects . The firm, Civiltech Engineering of Itasca was the top rated firm. The City has worked with Civiltech Engineering on the Jewel-Osco development project. 0 , Engineering Service Agreement with Civiltech Summit Street Sidewalks (ST36 ) July 21, 1994 Page 2 COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED None. FINANCIAL IMPACT The costs of the Engineering Services per this agreement will be a not-to-exceed cost of $59,700. 00 . The funds budgeted for engineering services total $50,000 . 00 in the account number 392-0000-795 . 93-80, Project #339535 .

ATTEST: CI vAlrec\n Erns neari N -r•Nyc. / By iI ,r By ‘riji.) retary President (SEAL) ATTACHMENT A SCOPE OF SERVICES SCOPE OF SERVICES We propose to provide the following engineering services to the City of Elgin on the Summit Street Sidewalk project: 1_ Field Survey - A full topographic survey of the project area will be completed from edge-of-pavement to 20 feet beyond the existing right-of-way line. The survey will locate and establish elevations for all existing physical features within the project area.. 2_ Data Collection - Utility atlases will be requested from all utility companies having facilities within the project area, as well as from the City of Elgin. City records of private improvements along the project limits, as well as any roadway or traffic signal plans which have been prepared for the area, will be reviewed. 3. Base Sheet Preparation - Data collected by the Field Survey will be developed into plan and profile base sheets at a scale of 1" =20'. Utility and right-of-way information will be added to the base sheets. Existing cross sections, at 50' intervals, will also be generated and plotted. 4_ Drainage Design - As was mentioned earlier, it is anticipated that there will be a significant amount of modification required to the existing drainage system in order to accommodate the proposed sidewalks. It will be necessary to fully analyze the existing areas tributary to the Summit Street ditches as well as the existing ditches and drainage structures themselves. Proposed modifications meeting IDOT criteria will then be designed for the drainage system. Upon completion of the design, all necessary information will be submitted to the District Drainage office for review. All comments received from Idot will be addressed. 5_ Structural Design-In order to construct the proposed sidewalks, it will be necessary to extend the existing box culvert crossing Summit Street in front of St. James and the First Christian Churches. It is also likely that junction chambers will be proposed at the end of these structures to turn the flow in the culvert parallel to the roadway. Additionally, we anticipate that,at a minimum, a number of small retaining wall made of precast units will also be needed to incorporate the sidewalks. The design of these facilities has been included in this proposal. In examining the project area, it became apparent that in a number of areas there is no ideal location for the sidewalk to be placed. These are areas where the grade drops sharply from the back of shoulder to a poorly defined ditch, and the area between the ditch and the right-of-way line is flat. It is not desirable to locate the proposed sidewalk at the right-of-way line where it will be at essentially the same elevation as the ditch and 5'-7' below the edge of pavement, nor should the sidewalk be located at the edge of shoulder where it may have to be removed if Summit Street is widened and where vehicles present a danger to pedestrians. In these areas the most desirable solution, from an engineering point of view, would be to construct retaining walls far enough from the centerline of Summit Street to allow for the roadway widening, the sidewalk, and a clear zone between the edge of pavement and the walk (or at a minimum a guardrail separating the two). The cost for design and construction of these retaining walls would be extremely high and has not been considered in this proposal. 6_ Pre-Final Plans, Specifications and Estimate-This will include the preparation of pre-final plans consisting of the following sheets: Title Sheet Summary of Quantities/Plan Notes Typical Sections/Details Plan & Profile Sheets (l"=20') Cross Section Sheets Structural Drawings Traffic Signal Modifications This item will also include the preparation of contract specifications and quantities along with an Engineer's Estimate of Cost. Finally, all of the above items will be consolidated into contract bid documents in the MFT format. 7_ Plan Review and Revisions-This item consists of the submittal of pre-final plans to the appropriate agencies and utility companies for review. Review meetings will then be held and the plans and specifications will be revised accordingly. Final plans and specifications will the be submitted to the City.
