TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joyce A. Parker, City Manager
SUBJECT: Amendment No. 4 to the Agreement for Engineering
Services with Black & Veatch
PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and
members of the City Council with information to consider
Amendment No. 4 to the agreement with Black & Veatch to
provide for additional engineering services for the Airlite
water treatment plant improvements.
BACKGROUND
On July 26, 1995, the City Council authorized execution of a
contract with Black & Veatch to provide engineering plans and
specifications and additional engineering services for the
expansion of the Riverside plant and modernization of the
Airlite facility. This initial contract anticipated and
outlined additional phases of engineering services necessary
to complete these projects, including project administration
and resident engineering.
The bid for the Airlite plant improvements will be considered
during the regular agenda. Amendment No. 4 with Black &
Veatch will assist with this project by providing the follow-
ing services : Construction administration and resident engi-
neering. Moreover, Black & Veatch will provide control system
software configuration and application services to operate and
monitor the water production system at various facility
locations. The cost for the above services is $154, 400 .
Black & Veatch is recommended to provide the necessary engi-
neering services for the following reasons :
1) Black & Veatch is intimately aware of the design require-
ments for control systems that will, by these extended
contracts, be implemented at the other remote sites and
must be compatible with the main control system being
installed at the Riverside plant.
Engineering Services Agreement
May 8, 1998
Page 2
2) The design has been completed for the Airlite plant
improvements . To bring another engineer in to provide
construction phase services may lead to a discrepancy in
construction and design philosophies between two differ-
ent engineering firms . A difference of opinion would
detract from the quality of the finished product .
3) The Riverside plant expansion is progressing smoothly and
on schedule . It would be hoped that maintaining similar
philosophies and working relationships will continue
through the completion of the Airlite plant improvements .
COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED
None .
INANCIAL IMPACT
Amendment No. 4 is included in the Water Development Fund,
account number 420-0000-771 . 92-36, project number 409531, in
the amount of $154, 400 .
LEGAL IMPACT
The Black & Veatch amendment requires an exception to the
Procurement Ordinance pursuant to the Elgin Municipal Code
Section 5 . 02 . 020B (6) . If the exception procedure is utilized,
a two-thirds vote of the City Council (five votes) is re-
quired, with a finding by the City Council that an exception
to the Requirements of the Procurement Ordinance is necessary
and in the best interest of the City.
ALTERNATIVES
None .
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execu-
tion of Amendment No. 4 to the agreement for engineering
services with Black & Veatch.
Respectfully submi ted,
J cezY. Parker
City Manager

Subject: Amendment for Engineering Services
Dear Peter:
Enclosed are four copies of Amendment No. 4 to our Agreement for Engineering
rib* Services related to the Airlite Water Treatment Plant (WTP) - Section I improvements.
This amendment covers construction phase services involving project administration
and control system configuration.
The original Agreement for Engineering Services was based on a phased
implementation of engineering services and established that these services would be
included by future amendments. Amendment No. 3 authorized bidding and preaward
services for the Airlite WTP Improvements. Construction phase services for the
Airlite WTP Improvements were not included in the previous amendment and were
scheduled to be covered under a future amendment.
Full-time resident services provided under Amendment No. 3 are being provided by
Pete Boysen, our Resident Project Representative (RPR) for the construction of the
Riverside WTP Expansion. It was anticipated that Mr. Boysen would provide part
time RPR services for other construction contracts provided the construction of these
other contracts proceeded concurrently with the Riverside construction. Amendment
No. 3 also indicated that the City would provide part-time assistant RPRs based on
the number of construction contracts Mr. Boysen was handling and the workload
required to cover the multiple contracts during heavy construction activity. Water
Department staff are providing some of this assistance for the construction of the
Airlite WTP sludge lagoons.

esubk Mr. Peter L. Bityou Page: 2
May 8, 1998
We have enclosed fee breakdown spreadsheets for the engineering services provided
under Amendment No. 4. Please note that the fee previously budgeted under
Amendment No. 3 for bidding and preaward services is not included in the projected
level of effort anticipated under Amendment No. 4.
The total fee to be appropriated for this Amendment No. 4 is $154,400 for the
construction phase services for Airlite WTP Improvements - Section I. Bids for this
project were just recently opened by the City.
If there are any questions regarding the scope of the proposed work, please contact
me. We are prepared to begin work upon receipt of your written Notice to Proceed
and a copy of the executed Agreement. We appreciate this opportunity to continue
our professional relationship with the City of Elgin.
Very truly yours,
