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 justification as to why Spring and Douglas streets are notable as more architecturally significant than surrounding streets. E. Conclusions as to why Spring-Douglas Historic District is significant enough to be eligible for listing on the National Register. 5.

CITY OF ELGIN CONSULTANT Y` BY I ! B a • Joy A. arker Victoria Granacki City Manager Partner, Historic Certification Consultants Attest: Dolonna Mecum, City Clerk -8- ( L)) � — City of Elgin Agenda Item No. ►!' oar . 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 May 14 , 1999 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 May 14, 1999 Page 4 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. / FINANCIAL IMPACT The Elgin Heritage Commission has budgeted $6, 600 in its 1999 g budget, account number 010-0902-709 . 80-04, to pay for the project .

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. • page 9 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.
