Modifications will include consideration of aesthetic treatments or accents to parapet walls, light pole foundations and walkway areas, the addition of decorative railings and monoliths or columns and the provision of corbeled lookouts along the bridge sidewalk, river lighting or planters. The plan modifications will be constructed as part of the Kimball Street and State Street improvements through a change order negotiated with the contractor for the project. Scope of Services 1. Concept Phase: Develop three alternative concepts of the overall bridge structure showing the relationship between various potential enhancement treatments for substructure and superstructure elements, walkways, lighting and other major features. Colored plan and elevation renderings will be prepared for each alternative as well as estimates of construction cost. Where possible, photographs or catalogue samples of potential enhancements will be included in the submittal to provide an example of the alternative being presented. The concepts will be presented by Rust at a meeting with City staff to determine the City's preferred alternative for enhancements to the bridge. Based on direction received at the meeting, the selected enhancement elements will be incorporated into a single concept that will be presented a second time for final concurrence by the City before beginning development of preliminary bridge plans. 2. Preliminary Design Phase: Prepare preliminary plans and construction details for the selected enhancement elements. This task will include preparation of more refined details of the enhancement treatments selected. Elements that may be developed, depending upon the City's decision, include parapet wall modifications, decorative railings, corbeled lookouts, concrete paver accents to walkways, monolith or column structures at the ends of the bridge, river lighting from the underside of the bridge and planters or other decorative features. Preliminary plans for each of the enhancement elements will be submitted to the City for review and a meeting held to discuss comments or modifications desired before proceeding to final plans. 3. Final Design Phase: Prepare final plan drawings and specifications for the enhancement improvements. Existing bridge plans and construction details will be modified as needed to include the enhancement elements. Pay items for the new work will be established and quantities and costs estimated. The revised plans will be submitted to the City for final review and any comments received will be incorporated into the plans. The plans and specifications will then be submitted to the contractor for the project in order for them to estimate their cost for constructing the improvements. Scope Conditions 1. The man hours and costs have been developed based on an expedited schedule for both the concept and design phases. It is assumed all work needed to prepare final plans and specifications will be completed within five weeks total. If additional meetings or submittals are required over a longer period of time than five weeks, appropriate man hours for these extended efforts will be negotiated with the City. 2. It is assumed the contractor's cost for constructing the enhancement elements will be obtained through negotiations as part of a change order process. A separate, open, bid process for the proposed bridge enhancements will not be performed as part of this scope of services. 3. The work described in this scope of services does not include the performance of construction inspection services or the review of shop drawing or material submittals for the bridge enhancements.

Presentation by Kent Group Regarding Report on Impediments to Fair Housing Representatives of the Kent Group gave a brief overview of their Impediments to Fair Housing Choice Report, which was prepared pursuant to a requirement of the Community Development Block Grant program. The study indicates that Elgin has its fair share of affordable housing and has a system in place for intake of unfair housing complaints, of which there has only been one in the past two years . However, as one of their recommendations, the Kent Group is suggesting that a fair housing audit be conducted to test the community' s fair housing compliance record. At the recommendation of the Human Relations Commission, the Human Resources Department has submitted a Community Development Block Grant proposal for this purpose. Councilman Schock made a motion, seconded by Councilman Gavin, to accept the report as submitted. Yeas : Councilmembers Gavin, Gilliam, Schock, Walters, Yearman and Mayor Kelly. Nays : None.

Yeas :Councilmembers Gavin, Gilliam, Schock, Walters, Yearman and Mayor Kelly. Nays : None. Kimball Street Bridge Possible Design Alternatives A discussion was held regarding possible modifications to the bridge design that could further enhance aesthetic impact of the bridge. Construction costs for the enhancements were estimated to range from $540, 000 to $720, 000 . Councilwoman Yearman stated that although she would like to have more improvements to the downtown area, she believed installation of sidewalks along Summit Street and Randall Road is a higher priority. After further discussion, Councilmembers requested that they be furnished with a breakdown of the costs for the suggested enhancements which include historic lighting on the bridge, lookouts, extending the paver theme across the bridge, handrails, under bridge lighting, and burying utility lines . 1997 Sidewalk Program - Royal Boulevard to Ruth Drive Councilman Gavin made a motion, seconded by Councilman Walters, to approve installation of a sidewalk along vacant property west of Ruth Drive, north and south of Royal Boulevard at an approximate cost of $25, 000 and to pay for said sidewalk from ,.F-OF F�O� '= City of Elgin Agenda Item No. pip ] e Arm r January 16, 1997 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Robert 0. Malm, Interim City Manager SUBJECT: Kimball Street Bridge Design Modifications PURPOSE The purpose of the memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with information on possible design modifications on the Kimball Street Bridge. BACKGROUND On December 22, 1996, the City Council, at its Committee of the Whole meeting, approved the final design of the Kimball Street Reconstruction Project. The final design includes provisions to widen the bridge and, as an alternate, install pedestrian/ornamental street lights . Under the current design, the barriers and handrails on either side of the bridge will be replaced with similar material. A replacement 12-foot wide sidewalk will be located on the south side of the bridge. Pursuant to a City Council inquiry, staff has looked at possible modifications to the bridge design that could further enhance the aesthetic impact of the bridge. Items that can be considered are, lookouts similar to those found on the Chicago and Highland bridges, extending the paver theme across the bridge, corner monuments at the four bridge corners, an "open" steel handrail to replace the concrete barrier on either side and lighting the under side of the structure. Staff has contacted RUST, the City' s design engineer for the project, to provide design and construction cost estimates for the various elements suggested above. Design costs range from $35,000 to $75, 000, depending on the design modification options selected. For example, it is estimated that the $35,000 fee will provide final design for the pavers, handrail and lookouts. If the lighting and corner monuments rft. are selected, design costs would increase an additional $15,000 . Should the City Council desire a conceptual phase option, where RUST would look at alternatives and present them to City Council, the cost increases another $25,000 . Kimbll Street Bridge Design Modification January 16, 1996 Page 2 Construction costs can be anticipated to range from $540 , 000 to $720, 000, depending on the items selected. The low number 47) includes only the pavers, lookouts and handrail costs . The high end includes all items as previously discussed. In order to implement any design changes, RUST' S agreement with the City must be amended to include the aforementioned design alternatives . Because the project is out to bid, a change order with the low responsive bidder would have to be approved and incorporate any design modifications into the construction contract. The project schedule is as follows : Bid Notices Issued - January 13, 1997 Pre-Bid Meeting - January 28, 1997 Bid Opening - February 11, 1997 Anticipated Council Award - February 26, 1997 Anticipated Construction Start - March 10, 1997 Anticipated Substantial Completion - November 28, 1997 COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED New Century Partnership FINANCIAL IMPACT Total project costs have been budgeted in 1997 at $6 , 102 , 000 ( 1996A Bonds = $5 . 58 million and 1996 Bonds = $S22, 000) . The project budget currently includes construction costs, construction inspection fees, Metra crossing improvement costs and two alternates, bridge lighting and landscape irrigation. Because the anticipated costs of any bridge modifications will exceed the project budget, a likely funding source needs to be identified for the additional improvements . Option #1 - Unallocated 1996 Riverboat Lease Funds Based on a projected fourth quarter lease payment of $725, 000, $269,471 of 1996 Riverboat Lease proceeds is currently unprogrammed. Option #2 - Unallocated 1996 Riverboat Funds In 1996, Riverboat proceeds exceeded projections by $2 .25 million. Approximately $1.47 million of these funds have been earmarked for specific projects and programs, resulting in $783,585 of Riverboat funds available for programming. Option #3 - General Fund Contingency The adopted General Fund budget contains a $540, 000 contingency to allow for unplanned expenditures and/or an 47) unexpected revenue shortfall . Kimbll Street Bridge Design Modification Page 3 e"'` Option #4 - Reduce Another Project(s) in the Riverboat Fund This option would involve reallocating funds from initiatives in the adopted 1997 Budget. LEGAL IMPACT If bridge enhancements are desired, a funding source for the improvements would need to be established, unless the bids for the project come in under the estimated amount. ALTERNATIVES A. Proceed with the bridge design as originally approved. B. Accept some or all suggested design changes and amend RUST'S agreement for the additional design costs . Additionally, amend the low responsive bidders contract to incorporate design modifications into the construction contract. RECOMMENDATION City Council direction is requested.

BACKGROUND On January 22, 1997, the City Council considered possible fek enhancements to the Kimball Street Bridge. At this meeting, the City Council desired additional information toward costs of specific enhancement features . The City' s design engineer, RUST E&I, has submitted a proposed amendment to their existing design contract for the bridge enhancement design. The amendment can be accepted with any combination of the enhancements as outlined below. The amendment is attached as Exhibit A and includes the estimated construction costs of the various elements . Below is a summary of the specific enhancement design and construction costs .

Should any of the design elements be selected, approval of design alternatives by the City Council may have to be fastracked in order to keep this project on schedule. The design options, as illustrated in Exhibit A, can be completed and combined with the project without affecting the construction schedule, if direction is provided on February 12, 1997 . Due to the timing of the bid opening, February 11, 1997, these enhancement features could not be included with the bid process, but would have to be negotiated with the low bidder after the contracts are awarded. The City Council may decide to accept all, none or some combination of enhancement features . It should be noted that some combinations may not be aesthetically appropriate. For example, look-outs may not be appropriate unless they are 414) combined with the handrail enhancement or monoliths may not be appropriate without the handrail enhancement.
