"PROJECT"); and
WHEREAS,the CONSULTANT warrants and represents that it is in compliance with
any and all Illinois statutes and local ordinances relating to professional registration and
regulation and has the necessary expertise and experience to furnish such services upon the terms
and conditions set forth herein below.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants
contained herein, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, it is hereby agreed by and
between the parties hereto that CITY does hereby retain the CONSULTANT to act for and
represent it in all professional matters involved in the PROJECT, subject to the following terms
and conditions and stipulations, to-wit:
I. SCOPE OF SERVICES
All work hereunder shall be performed under the direction of the Community
Development Manager, hereinafter referred to as the "DIRECTOR", or the CITY staff designated
by the DIRECTOR to act on his behalf.
In general, CONSULTANT'S work shall include, but may not be limited to, the following
major categories of professional activities:
A. SCOPE OF SERVICES. CONSULTANT staff will meet with CITY and Elgin
Heritage Commission to discuss project schedule and objectives. CONSULTANT will

B. SCOPE OF WORK. The following activities will be carried out by the
CONSULTANT:
1. Preliminary Work with the Existing Survey of the Spring-Douglas
Corridor:
CONSULTANT shall review all 286 survey forms in the 1995 survey to
verify existing architectural styles and dates. Any corrections on the forms will be
done by hand, and photocopies of the corrected forms will be sent to the Illinois
Historic Preservation Agency for their records. The significance ratings for all
buildings will be updated using established criteria to distinguish significant
buildings from contributing buildings. It is understood that this distinction is for
the use of the City of Elgin in administering its preservation programs, not for the
National Register nomination. These ratings will be provided to the Elgin
Heritage Commission separately. PROJECT shall be completed in coordination
with the CITY, the Elgin Heritage Commission and in accordance with the
various rules and regulations stipulated by the Illinois Historic Preservation
Agency's (IHPA)National Register program.
2. Create a Database
The most important data from the 1995 survey will be entered into a computerized
database which is compatible with similar databases that CONSULTANT has
previously prepared for Elgin neighborhood surveys. Database fields shall include
address, date of construction, architectural style, condition, and alterations.
3. Supplementary Research:
CONSULTANT will conduct additional primary research beyond that
which was included in the 1995 survey report. It is expected to include at least the
following:
A. Verify construction dates for significant buildings where public
records are available.
B. Prepare a subdivision map and development trend analysis.
C. Conduct a thorough Sanborn map analysis over key years,
beginning in 1887.
D. Conduct additional extensive research on who the residents were in
the significant houses during the period of historic significance.
CONSULTANT shall use city directories for 1900 and 1020 to
supplement the 1995 survey report which used only 1911 and
1940.
E. Conduct additional research to see if architects can be determined
for significant buildings. CONSULTANT will consult the Elgin
Daily Courier, house tour booklets, plaque applications, and other
sources that may be found.
4. Preparation of the National Register Nomination:
CONSULTANT will write a complete nomination to the National Register
according to the application requirements of the Illinois Historic Preservation
Agency and the U.S. Department of the Interior which includes the following:
A. A complete description of the neighborhood(Section 7)using
information from the existing Spring-Douglas Corridor report and
other information CONSULTANT has collected.
B. An historic context for the neighborhood as it relates to the
surrounding area. The historic information gathered for
CONSULTANT's Northeast Neighborhood report will be used.
C. A full description of architectural styles which elaborates on the
general characteristics of each style and how individual buildings
in the Spring-Douglas Historic District area reflect those
characteristics.

May 14 , 1999
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joyce A. Parker, City Manager
SUBJECT: Award of Professional Services Contract for
Nomination of the Spring-Douglas Historic
District to the National Register of
Historic Places
PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and
members of the City Council with information to consider
awarding a professional services contract for nominating the
Spring-Douglas Historic District to the National Register of
Historic Places.
BACKGROUND
rThe Spring-Douglas Historic District was designated as a local
[. Elgin landmark historic district in February 1996 . Comprised of
286 structures, the district is significant in being
representative of the transition in styles of the City' s 19th
and early 20th century architecture. The district is primarily
residential in nature, with buildings being described as having
intact a high level of architectural and structural integrity.
Two-thirds of the buildings were built in the 34-year period
between 1886 and 1920 . The majority (243 of the 286 structures)
included within the proposed district contribute to its
architectural and historic significance . They were built during
the period of significance (1850-1940) and retain sufficient
historic integrity from the period.
The architectural and historical survey completed in 1996
suggests that the district is eligible to be listed on the
National Register of Historic Places due to its significant
history and architecture .
National Register listing represents a national recognition to
an individual property or those within an historic district
without any additional regulations. It also provides the
opportunity for properties within the designated district to
participate in the federal Rehabilitation Investment Tax Credit
program, the state Property Tax Assessment Freeze program, and
more recently, to be eligible to receive funds from the
Transportation Enhancement Act (TEA-21) for larger capital
enhancement projects like historic district street lighting,
• Spring-Douglas Historic District

Page 2
district signage and the development of bike paths and trails .
The Elgin Historic District, listed on the National Register in
1983 , successfully applied for and received funds to install
historic street lights in 1995 .
The North East Neighborhood Association (NENA) is currently
preparing an application for funds to install historic street
lights and signage in the historic district . Listing of the
district on the National Register will further improve the
chances of the project to be selected to receive funds. The
application from NENA will most likely be brought before the
City Council for discussion in October of this year for Year
2000 budget planning discussions. The application is expected
to be submitted to the Illinois Department of Transportation for
consideration in November 1999 .
In addition to the Elgin Historic District, individual
properties in Elgin listed on the National Register of Historic
Places include :
1 . Elgin Academy, 350 Park Street (Oct 08, 1976)
2 . Gifford-Davidson House, 363-365 Prairie Street (May 31, 1980)
3 . First Universalist Church, 55 Villa (263 Du Page) (Nov 07,
1980)
4 . Ora Felton House 214 S . State Street (Aug 12 , 1982)
5 . The former Elgin Milk Condensing Company (Borden Building)
Brook and Water Streets (Feb 14, 1985)
r 6 . Fire Barn #5 533 St . Charles Road (Aug 05, 1991)
7 . Elgin National Watch Company Observatory 312 Watch Street
(Aug 16 , 1994)
8 . Teeple Barn 1715 North Randall Road (Dec 10, 1979)
9 . Memorial Washington Reformed Presbyterian Church West
Highland Avenue (Elgin vicinity) (Nov 19, 1980)
Note : Dates of designation are in parentheses.
Scope of the project
The project essentially involves nominating the Spring-Douglas
Historic District to the National Register of Historic Places
and will include two main components as required by the Illinois
Historic Preservation Office (IHPA) in Springfield.
1 . Update the survey of the Spring-Douglas Corridor. The
existing 286 inventory forms will need to be reviewed, a
significance rating provided for each structure, verify its
architectural style, date of construction and alterations
over the years . Supplementary research on the survey will
also include obtaining dates of construction of the
buildings, preparation of subdivision maps based on
development trends, augmenting the existing historic
information on each property using Sanborn maps and City
Directories, and obtaining information on the architects
and builders of significant structures using local
rew newspapers like the Elgin Daily Courier. The IHPA has
already reviewed the existing survey report and inventory
' Spring-Douglas Historic District
May 14 , 1999
Page 3
forms and indicated the areas where additional information
is required. Additionally, the updated information will
also conform to the standard format established by the
Heritage Commission to facilitate the review of
rehabilitation grant proposals .
2 . Preparation of the National Register application.
Information to be included will be a description of the
historic context of the neighborhood from the existing
survey report and supplemental research, together with a
complete description of the architectural styles of the
neighborhood. Finally, conclusions will be drawn on why the
Spring-Douglas Historic District is significant to be
eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic
Places.
The nomination will need to be submitted for review and comment
to the IHPA in Springfield. On the recommendation of staff of
the IHPA, the application will be presented to the Illinois
Historic Sites Advisory Council (IHSAC) which will approve or
deny the nomination. If approved, the documentation will be
provided to the Keeper of the National Register in Washington
D.C. to be listed.
The selected consultant will prepare and present the nomination
of the Spring-Douglas Historic District to the Illinois Historic
Sites Advisory Council (IHSAC) at their earliest scheduled
meeting.
Contractor Selection
Requests for proposals were sent out to around 30 firms
specializing in historic preservation (Attachment A) . The
Requests for Proposals included information on the total scope
of the project, including the funding available for the project .
Two proposals were received for the completion of the project .
The process of review required proposals to be submitted in two
parts - the narrative (Part A) and the fee (Part B) . The
narrative (Part A) included information on the scope of
services, the professional firm' s qualifications, examples of
previous work related to the project and bidder utilization
forms required by the City. The fee (Part B) was required to be
submitted in a separate sealed packet and would not be opened
until the narratives (part A) of the project were reviewed and
the firms ranked in order of preference. This process is in
keeping with the City of Elgin procurement ordinance.
The National Register Review Subcommittee of the Elgin Heritage
Commission and the City's Historic Preservation Specialist
reviewed and ranked the two proposals based on the criteria for
selection of firms, as outlined in the Request for Proposals .
r
•
Spring-Douglas Historic District

eftm. The fee packets (part B) of the proposals were then opened. The
ranked proposals with their fee bids are as follows :
Firm Fee
1 . Historic Certification Consultants $6, 600 . 00
1105 West Chicago Avenue, Suite 201
Chicago IL 60622
2 . Charles Kirchner & Associates $4, 800 . 00
107 West Cook Road
Springfield IL 62704
The firm Historic Certification Consultants had consulted with
the IHPA on the scope of services of the project before
submitting their proposal, and obtained information on the work
needed to complete the project which has resulted in their
higher bid. The criteria for selection of consultants has been
included in as Attachment C.
During the selection process, the firm of Charles Kirchner and
Associates, was determined as inadequately responsive to the
requirements of the Heritage Commission, the City of Elgin and
the IHPA to complete the project . The firm did not include any
information on updating the current survey of the Spring-Douglas
Corridor (Component 1 of the project) , nor did it indicate any
familiarity with the standard format used by the City to prepare
eft. inventory forms and final reports on surveys.
66 COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PARTIES CONTACTED
The Elgin Heritage Commission' s National Register Review
Subcommittee reviewed the submitted proposals and made a
recommendation to select the firm of Historic Certification
Consultants. The recommendation is based on their scope of
services, the format of the finished document, experience of the
firm' s designated project team in similar projects, and examples
of their previous projects. The firm was recently contracted by
the City to complete architectural surveys of the northeast and
southeast neighborhoods.
The references provided by the top selected firms were also
contacted by the City' s Historic Preservation Specialist and
found to be adequate.

for the procurement of professional services is representative of the competitive proposal process
whereby several proposals are reviewed for quality, but the fee is negotiated after the firm has been
selected. The following process will be followed in the review and selection of a professional
architectural or historic preservation consultant on this project.
All proposals will be submitted in two (2)parts -Narrative and Fee- and evaluated by the
selection committee.
PART A will be evaluated based on the following criteria:
1. The level of knowledge and experience of the staff that the professional firm or consultant
assigns and commits to the project. This should include the educational background and•
experience of the assigned team.
Points: 0 -20
2. The record of specialized experience of the professional firm and project team as demonstrated
eft. by performance on similar projects. Submission of examples of these projects is
recommended, and will be reviewed during the process of evaluation.
Points: 0 - 20
3. The degree to which the professional consultant's scope of services addresses the project's
objective.
Points: 0 -40
4. The professional consultant's demonstrated familiarity with the local architecture and history.
Points: 0 - 20
With due consideration of the evaluations of the proposals, a tentative selection will be made by
ranking the proposals. The sealed PART B of the professional consultants will then be opened for
inspection. The City of Elgin will then schedule negotiations with the top ranked consultant
leading to the preparation of the Agreement.
If the estimate in PART B of the proposal is shown by a review or other analyses to be improper,
or subsequent negotiations are unsuccessful in bringing the fee proposal to an acceptable range,
the City will cease discussions with the top rated consultant and initiate negotiations with the next
ranked consultant.

Negotiation
The successful consultant will be advised of the fee negotiating meeting if necessary. The
negotiation and discussion will cover the consultant's costs, including direct costs, indirect costs,
and any other costs that are considered reasonable by the City of Elgin. It is strongly
recommended that the consultant provide the City with a firm fixed fee for the complete
project. The City's Department of Code Administration and Neighborhood Affairs and the
professional consultant will also agree on the project schedule and any final adjustments in the
project requirements at this time.
Standard Agreement
When the fee and other parameters have been agreed upon, the Director of Code Administration
and Neighborhood Affairs will prepare a City Council Memorandum requesting permission to
enter into an agreement for the professional consultant's services. The Director of Purchasing will
inform the remaining consultants that the award has been made to another firm.
Compensation and Payment
The Department of Code Administration and Neighborhood Affairs will reimburse the
professional consultant as may be necessary to complete the requirements of this project
assignment as set forth in the agreements between the parties. The method of payment will be
negotiable.
The professional consultant will be responsible for submitting to the Department, reports
describing in detail the services rendered together with certified invoices as required by the
agreement.
