The original project approach assumed that the bath house would be considered an appropnatc use in the floodway as an adjunct to the pool facility which is an appropriate use. After deliberation, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources — Office of Water Resources (OWR) ultimately ruled that the bath house was not an appropriate use. This revired that the floodway be remapped in order to allow the construction of the bath house in the location planned. Thi floodway remapping,in turn, necessitated application for, and receipt of a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Ultimately, we were seeking authorization from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, a floodway construction permit from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources — Office of Water Resources, a LOMR from FLIMA, and permits from the Kane County Soil and Water Conservation District and the City. On February 12, 1999 we issued a contract amendment in which we had estimated $12,000 over- and-above our billings through December 31, 1999 would be required to apply for the above permits and authorizations. This would have brought the total estimated project budget to $22,739.65. The budget amount was estimated because it is difficult to exactly predict modeling efforts or agency permit requirements. Unfortunately, permitting and supporting analyses were more involved than originally anticipated. As a result, we incurred total project billings through August 31, 1999 of$32,861.32, or$9,021.67 in excess of our February 12, 1999 estimate. The original amendment budget was exceeded for the following reasons: - • • Ms. Monica Meyers Wing Park Pool Contract Amendent November 4, 1999 Page 2 • Our initial assumption for the vehicular bridge was for an in-kind replacement. This would have not required analysis. Additional bridge analysis was required to evaluate the bridge Burbach subsequently proposed in their plans. • For this stream reach, the HEC-2 hydraulic model was unusually sensitive to minute changes in bridge geometry, overbank grading and channel roughness. In some instances, the model produced counterintuitive results (e.g. an increase in channel cross sectional area would cause the predicted water surface to rise). This resulted in a much greater modeling effort to meet LOMR and floodway construction criteria. • D&D required more information for the CLOMR submittal than was originally discussed our field meeting with FEMA. • The Corps reviewer required that the 404 permit be broken into phases to accommodate the bridge demolition. That the demolition is an activity requiring a permit was not consistent with Corps regulations. • A great deal of coordination with the agencies was required to shepherd the applications and processing in order to meet the City's deadline requirements. We, therefore, respectfully request a contract amendment for the amount of$9,021.67. Please do not hesitate to call if you have any questions or need additional information. _ a Hey and Associates, Inc. "of .

OF Etc, I14 City of Elgin Agenda Item No. November 5, 1999 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Joyce A. Parker, City Manager SUBJECT: Wing Park Family Aquatic Center Permit Services Amendment No. 2 with Hey and Associates, Inc . PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with information to consider approving Amendment No. 2 and final payment for Hey and Associates, Inc . in the amount of $9 , 021 . 67 for coordinating the permits for the Wing Park Family Aquatic Center. BACKGROUND In August, 1998 , the City Council awarded a contract with Hey and Associates, Inc. totaling $9, 500 to coordinate the permits from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) and the Army Corps of Engineers for the Wing Park Family Aquatic Center. The scope of Hey and Associates ' service was to work with Burbach Municipal and Civil Engineers to review plans, recommend changes to the plans based on floodway and permitting requirements, prepare permit applications and work with permitting agencies to acquire permits . The Illinois Department of Natural Resources - Office of Water Resources (OWR) ruled that the bath house was not an appropriate use in the floodway. This required that the floodway be remapped in order to allow the construction of the bath house in the location planned. The floodway mapping required a letter of map revision (LOMR) from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and permits from the Kane County Soil and Water Conservation District . These items were not elements of the initial scope . In February 1999, the City Council awarded a contract amendment of $12, 000 for a new contract total of $21, 500 for Hey and Associates to coordinate the additional permit requirements . re. Hey and Associates/Wing Park Aquatic Center November 5, 1999 Page 2 Additional work on the part of Hey and Associates, Inc . was required by the permitting agencies above the February 1999 contract amendment as follows : • Required change in vehicular bridge caused the need for an analysis of the bridge, overbank grading, channel roughness, and greater floodway modeling. • Dewberry and Davis (permitting consultant for DNR) required additional information for the CLOMR submittal than was originally discussed in the field meeting with FEMA. • The Corps permit reviewer required the 404 permit application be resubmitted as phases to accommodate the bridge demolition. Demolition is typically not an activity that requires a permit through the Corps . • Because of the above-requested changes, a greater amount of coordination was required to follow up with all of the permit agencies involved in order to complete permits within the City' s project time frame . The additional services required for the above issues were completed by Hey and Associates at an additional cost of $9 . 021 . 67 . All permits have been received for the project and construction on the new Wing Park Family Aquatic Center commenced in October. COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED None .
