Agenda Item No. City of Elgin a Aa TEP EEO.. August 6 , 1997 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Robert O. Malm, Interim City Manager SUBJECT: Amendment No. 1 to an Agreement with Baxter & Woodman PURPOSE The purpose of the memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with information to consider Amendment No. 1 to an agreement with Baxter & Woodman to add design services in connection with the preparation of plans, specifications, estimates of cost, and bidding for a lateral sanitary sewer to serve the Industrial Developments International ( IDI ) and Schick properties as part of the Tyler Creek Interceptor Sewer - Phase V Project. BACKGROUND At its meeting of March 5, 1997 , the City Council authorized an agreement with Baxter & Woodman for the preparation of plans, specifications , estimates of cost and bidding engineering services for the Tyler Creek Interceptor Sewer - Phase V (TCIS-V) project. The annexation agreement with IDI requires the completion of this interceptor sewer by June 30, 1999 , which will serve the south portion of the development . The City Council memorandum and original agreement are attached as Exhibit A. In order for the IDI development to connect into the TCIS-V, a lateral sanitary sewer needs to be constructed north under the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad tracks . This lateral sewer will serve both a portion of the IDI property and the property commonly referred to as the Schick property. IDI has requested that the City design and construct this lateral sewer main. IDI has agreed to pay for their portion of the lateral sewer through a recapture ordinance. The recapture ordinance will also recover the remainder of the design and construction costs from the Schick property when it develops . A project location map is attached as Exhibit C. } Amendment No. 1 to an Agreement with Baxter & Woodman August 6 , 1997 Page 2 ew COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED None. FINANCIAL IMPACT It is anticipated that the TCIS-V project costs will total $2, 260, 000 of which half was budgeted in 1997 and the remainder will be budgeted in 1998 . The 1997 Sewer Fund (account number 397-4200-795 . 92-41, project number 339558 ) included $1, 130, 000 as the first half . Neither the fund nor the project included funds for design and construction of the lateral . The cost of the lateral sewer design ( $16, 000) can be accommodated this year within the account mentioned above . Additional funding may need to be identified in the 1998 budget should cost of lateral and interceptor exceed the current budget. Reimbursement for the City' s cost will be made as the property develops, including the commitment from IDI . The Amendment No. 1 is attached as Exhibit B. LEGAL IMPACT The proposed contract amendment with Baxter & Woodman does not appear to constitute a proper change order, nor does the contract amendment meet the strict criteria of a sole source contract . The proposed work is not directly related to the original work but instead constitutes a separate, private improvement to allow the adjacent property owners to tie into the sewer. In the event the City Council proceeds to award this contract, Elgin Municipal Code Section 5 . 02 . 020B( 6 ) requires a finding in the authorizing resolution that an, exception to the requirements of the procurement ordinance is necessary and in the best interests of the City. The contract may be authorized only by a vote of 2/3 of all members of the City Council holding office (5 votes ) . ALTERNATIVES None . Amendment No. 1 to an Agreement with Baxter & Woodman August 6, 1997 Page 3 RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to the agreement with Baxter & Woodman in the not-to-exceed amount of $16 , 000 . 00 and adjust the total value of the amended agreement to $180, 000 . 00 .

Malm, Interim City Manager SUBJECT: Engineering Services Agreement Tyler Creek Interceptor Sewer Phase V PURPOSE _ The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with information to consider entering into an agreement with Baxter & Woodman for the preparation of plans, specifications and cost estimates for the construction of the Tyler Creek Interceptor Sewer (TCIS) Phase V. BACKGROUND In the 1997 Budget, the City Council authorized the construction of the Tyler Creek/Northwest Interceptor Sewer Phase V in order to increase the development potential for the northwest portion of the City' s planning area. A proposed annexation agreement with Industrial Developments International ( IDI ) , requires the completion of this interceptor by June 30, 1999, which will serve the south portion of their development. The proposed sewer line is located west of Randall Road, north of Tyler Creek, and will generally follow the alignment of the Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way through City-owned land to a point of terminus west of the Soo Line Railroad Tracks . A location map is shown as Exhibit A. The scope of work within the subject agreement is for engineering and construction services . The fee quoted at this point, however, reflects only those costs associated with design services . The agreement will be amended to include construction services when a construction contract is presented to the City Council for an award. The project schedule anticipates engineering completion of design and plan preparation in late 1997 to allow for a January, 1998 r. construction bidding. The preliminary cost estimate for construction is $2 , 100, 000 . I Engineering Services Agreement/Tyler Creek • March 4, 1997 Page 2 Proposals were received on February 7 , 1997 from three firms : - Crawford, Murphy and Tilly (CMT) - Baxter & Woodman (B&W) - D. Carroll Engineering and Associates A staff selection committee evaluation of the three proposals was conducted, which resulted in B&W being the top-rated firm. A copy of the memorandum sent to the staff selection committee, as well_ as results of the selection process, are enclosed as Exhibit B. Upon selection, B&W met with staff to finalize the project scope and negotiate their fee. The final negotiated fee is $164, 000 . The tabulation of costs shown in Exhibit B shows that B&W submitted the highest fee. A comparison of the associated scopes of work submitted by all three firms indicates that Baxter and Woodman anticipated a higher level of effort toward work within an established high quality wetland. With consideration toward the sensitive nature of the proposed construction activity adjacent to Tyler Creek, staff concurs with the level of effort anticipated by Baxter and Woodman. Adjacent neighborhood groups and the "Friends of Tyler Creek" 41) expressed concerns over these areas during the IDI annexation process. Baxter and Wdodman has previously designed and inspected the Northwest Interceptor Sewer-Phase I (NWIS) . The NWIS project followed a route which was also located adjacent to Tyler Creek. The project was successfully permitted for construction through wetlands with little impact to these sensitive environments . The project is substantially complete and under budget. A copy of the proposed agreement is shown as Exhibit C. COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED None. FINANCIAL IMPACT It is anticipated that the TCIS - Phase V project will total $2, 260, 000 . The project was included within the 1997 Sewer Fund budget, account number 397-4200-795 . 92-41 , project number 339558, in the amount of $1, 130, 000 . Funding is provided by the Sewer portion of the 1997 General Obligation Bond sale scheduled for spring, 1997 . The remaining $1, 130, 000 is proposed in the 1997-2001 financial plan in 1998 and scheduled to be funded by a 1998 General Obligation Bond sale.
