SUBJECT: Engineering Services Agreement
1998 Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) NPDES Permit
Compliance Project
PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and
members of the City Council with information to consider
approval of an extension of an agreement with D. Carroll
Engineering & Associates for the continued development of the
data base, mapping and monitoring of the combined sewer
system.
BACKGROUND
The City of Elgin and communities nationwide are required to
be permitted annually for the operation of combined sewers .
The National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
Permit for Combined Sewer System (CSO) is issued by the
Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) . The NPDES
permit requires that the City maintain an updated map and be
able to perform modeling of the combined sewer system. Due to
these requirements, the City has developed a computer-based
map of its sanitary sewer system. The proposed contract
extension with D. Carroll Engineering provides for the
updating of the City' s base map and for the completion of the
annual permit process on behalf of the City.
In May 1997 the City Council approved the engineering services
agreement for 1997 Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Monitoring
with D. Carroll Engineering & Associates. This agreement
provides for continuing CSO permit compliance, IMS data base
and CSS map development. Evaluation of sewer backups in
problem areas was also included. In December 1997, the City
Council approved an extension of this agreement with D.
Carroll Engineering & Associates. The extension provided for
the completion of the CSS mapping and the partial completion
of IMS data base .
The attached engineering services agreement will provide for
updating the mapping to include the 1998 Subdivisions and
Capital Improvement projects and efforts to begin populating
the IMS data base .

Page 2
The agreement requires the consultant to provide information
on each of the manholes which will be used to populate the
existing data base. Inspection (non-entry) will be performed
on approximately 16% of the manholes in the sewer system under
this contract . The existing IMS data base includes an identi-
fication number and address for each manhole. Under the
attached agreement, the consultant will populate the data base
with information such as the type of manhole or pipe, age of
item, depth, slope and structural condition. Also included in
the agreement is the monitoring of one Combined Sewer Overflow
event and verification of the separation of sewers in the
National Street Basin.
Proposals to develop the mapping task were requested in May
1997 and again in November 1997 from pre-qualified engineering
firms . In both cases, the City Council approved an engineering
services agreement with D. Carroll Engineering & Associates .
D. Carroll Engineering is uniquely qualified to provide the
services to be provided under the proposed agreement . D.
Carroll Engineering was selected for this project based on
their familiarity with the City, the software utilized,
understanding of the requirements of the City and the NPDES
program and their overall approach to the project. They were
twice selected to work on the CSO project, of which this is an
extension. Their work to date makes them uniquely qualified to
rft. continue with the project . The contract has been modified to
provide for a review of subcontractor proposals and costs .
D. Carroll Engineering has met with staff to finalize the
project scope and negotiate their fee . This agreement which
will provide for continuing active management of the CSS/CSO
system as required by the NPDES Permit and the continuation of
the development of the Infrastructure Management System. The
final negotiated fee is $69, 860 . This fee is in line with
previous fee agreements and competitive with previous propos-
als from other firms . As this agreement has not gone through
the proposal process, a two-thirds majority of the City
Council will be required for approval .
COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED

manholes included in Item 5.a., and make corrections to system map as necessary
to reflect data.
6. Verification of National Av. Basin Separation
a. Perform smoke testing on all sanitary sewers in this basin to confirm no illegal
connections exist.
A-2
b. Perform manholes inspections on all sanitary and storm sewer manholes to confirm
system layout and condition of sanitary manholes.
c. Review record drawings for the sanitary and storm sewer system and compare to
inspection data.
d. Perform a hydraulic analysis on the storm sewer system to verify the capacity of
the system is adequate for the service area.

Structure to confirm flows and impact of rainfall on system. This scope assumes
the City will install one flow meter for 3 months, and CE&A will review and
analyze the data.
f. Prepare a system separation report that summarizes the above described activities
and that can be used as the basis for declaration of final separation of this part of
the City's system.
g. Upon approval of the system separation report, prepare drawings, specifications
and bidding requirements for elimination of the overflow diversion at Diversion
Structure #3. Submit these documents to the City for review and approval.
