Parker, City Manager SUBJECT : Professional Services Agreement with ENSR International for a North Kimball Residential Land Use PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to present the Mayor and City Council members with information to consider a Professional Service Agreement with ENSR International for environmental consulting services related to City-owned properties at 35 Ann Street, 520 McBride Street and 500 North Grove Avenue. BACKGROUND The Riverfront Center City Master Plan, adopted May 24, 2000, recommends that the area adjacent to the Fox River, north of Kimball Street and west of Brook Street, be developed ae an upscale residential land use . Presently, the City of Elgin owns three major parcels of land within this area: 35 Ann Street - Public Works Facility; 520 McBride Street - Seigle' s Lumber Yard and 502 North Grove Avenue - Seigle' s Lumber Yard. With the construction of the new public library at the W.R. Meadows site and the vacation of the Ann Street Public Works site in 2003 , consideration should be given to begin the environmental assessment of the properties within the redevelopment area that the City owns and has access to. Due to the previous and current uses at the sites in question, they can be characterized as Brownfield Redevelopment sites . The State of Illinois Environmental Protection Agency sponsors a grant program for the purpose of evaluating the potential contaminates at Brownfield sites and suggesting potential remediation measures to allow for the remediation of the sites. The Illinois EPA defines brownfields as a site, or portion thereof, that has actual or perceived contamination and an active potential for redevelopment . MAY-23-01 WED 03:38 PM CITY OF ELGIN/CITY MGR, FAX NO. 18479315610 P. 10 PSA With ENSR International May 4 , 2001 Page 2 Brownfields sites vary in size, location, age, and past use. These properties can range from a closed gas station to a former multi- acre manufacturing facility. The Brownfields Redevelopment Grant Program (BRGP) funds projects contaminated (or suspected of being contaminated) by either petroleum, hazardous waste, or both. Grants are issued to municipalities to identify, evaluate, and prioritize former industrial and commercial property for cleanup. Grants are awarded for: • Extensive site assessments, • Preparation of cleanup plans, and • Development of cleanup objectives. BRGP funds cannot be used for actual cleanup activities . The BRGP is a reimbursement program. If awarded a BRGP grant, a municipality will be reimbursed for eligible and approved costs up to the specified grant amount. Municipalities that request funds under the BRGP for a specific site must enroll the site in the Illinois EPA' s Site Remediation Program (SRP) and proceed in accordance with the applicable regulations for that voluntary cleanup program - unless the site is regulated under the Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) Program. In that case, the LUST program will provide technical oversight of project activities. A municipality may also engage outside professionals to prepare the grant application; however, project statements and applications must be signed by a duly authorized municipal official. Grants shall be limited to a maximum of $120, 000 . A municipality may request an initial grant amount of less than $120, 000 and later amend the grant upwards to the maximum amount. Grant awards are distributed as reimbursement of costs incurred by the municipality. Grant amounts shall not exceed 70%- of the specific project amount , Specific projects may be a single phase of a larger project (i .e. , a Phase II environmental assessment as a prelude to a larger, project) . Municipalities are required to share in any grant award through a 70/30 match (70% grant, 30% match) . see examples below. MAY-23-01 WED 03:39 PM CITY OF ELGIN/CITY MGR. FAX NO, 18479315610 P. 11 PSA With ENSR International May 4, 2001 Page 3 BRGP Project Maximum Grant Costs Award $50, 000 $35, 000 $100, 000 $70 , 000 $171,400 $120, 000 The 30 percent match may be either a monetary match or in-kind. In-kind means that a municipality may count City personnel and equipment costs used for grant-eligible activities towards the match. A municipality has a maximum of three years to meet and report its match, however, match-eligible activities must correspond to the project schedule in the grant application approved by the Illinois EPA. Eligible Expenses Costs eligible for payment from the BRGP include those for brownfields site identification, investigation, characterization, inventory, development of remediation objectives and development of remedial action plans, and for materials or services provided or performed in conjunction with these activities. Such activities and services may include, but are not limited to: 1. Agency oversight costs of participating in the SRP, 2 . Reasonable environmental consultant oversight services, 3 . Remedial investigation and design, 4. Development and implementation of activities necessary to establish remediation objectives, 5. Laboratory services necessary to characterize the site and establish cleanup objectives, 6 . Installation and operation of groundwater investigation and monitoring wells, 7 . Development and implementation of a Boil sampling plan, S. Development of a groundwater corrective action system, 9. Development of a soil corrective action plan, 10 . Costs associated with seeking reimbursement from the BRGP including, but not limited to, completion of documentation for partial or final payment, and 11. Purchase costs for non-expendable materials, supplies, equipment or tools purchased and used for the BRGP project. In preparation for submitting an application for the IEPA Brownfield Redevelopment Grant Program, the City sought proposals from six qualified professional, consultants to prepare the grant application and conduct the approved environmental assessment. MAY-23-01 WED 03:39 PM CITY OF ELGIN/CITY MGR. FAX N0, 18479315610 P. 12 April 18, 2001 ENSR Proposal No. 9407-S33-Amendment No. 1 Mr. Ray Moller Director of Economic Development City of Elgin 150 Dexter Court Elgin, IL 60120 RE IEPA Brownfields Redevelopment Grant Program and Environmental Assessment Work—Proposal Amendment No, 1 Dear Mr. Moller: Thank you for the opportunity to discuss the City's Brownfields Redevelopment Grant Program with ENSR on April 17, 2001. We appreciate your consideration of ENSR for this important project. In response to your request, ENSR has developed an estimated project budget for all of the Work Tasks identified in our April 10, 2001 proposal. The budget encompasses all of the environmental investigation work that can be anticipated based on the available information. We have included costs for two phases of site investigation: soil sampling and groundwater assessment. All three parcels are included. As we discussed, the available documented environmental information concerning the three parcels is limited at this time. Therefore, the costs presented are based on assumptions of the nature and extent of contamination that may be present and the general progression of the project through the Illinois EPA. These assumptions are stated on the attached cost estimate. Accordingly, ENSR is presenting these costs as budgetary estimates and recommends that the City consider a reasonable contingency amount in its planning for this project. ENSR believes that the execution of this type of investigative work needs to be performed in a step-wise fashion where each step builds upon the information learned during the preceding steps. This approach keeps the investigation focused on the critical issues that are discovered and, in the long run, provides the basis for a sound and comprehensive site investigation. All of the Illinois EPA programs, including the Brownfields Redevelopment Grant Program (BRGP), Site Remediation Program (SRP), and Leaking Underground Storage Tank Program (LUST), utilize and promote such a step-wise investigation methodology. If the scope of the investigation needs to expand based on the environmental conditions discovered, the BRGP allows for the submission of amended budget plans to seek grant funding up to the grant limit. ENSR Corporation is committed to providing the City of Elgin the best professional value for the effort invested in the program, without regard to whether the funds are derived from the City's own sources or from state funded grant dollars. We will provide quality and professional services throughout the project.

Parker, City Manager SUBJECT: Professional Services Agreement with ENSR International for a North Kimball Residential Land Use PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to present the Mayor and City Council members with information to consider a Professional Service Agreement with ENSR International for environmental consulting services related to City-owned properties at 35 Ann Street, . 520 McBride Street and 500 North Grove Avenue. BACKGROUND The Riverfront Center City Master Plan, adopted May 24, 2000, recommends that the area adjacent to the Fox River, north of Kimball Street and west of Brook Street, be developed as an upscale residential land use. Presently, the City of Elgin owns three major parcels of land within this area: 35 Ann Street - Public Works Facility; 520 McBride Street - Seigle' s Lumber Yard and 502 North Grove Avenue - Seigle' s Lumber Yard. With the construction of the new public library at the W.R. Meadows site and the vacation of the Ann Street Public Works site in 2003 , consideration should be given to begin the environmental assessment of the properties within the redevelopment area that the City owns and has access to. Due to the previous and current uses at the sites in question, they can be characterized as Brownfield Redevelopment sites. The State of Illinois Environmental Protection Agency sponsors a grant program for the purpose of evaluating the potential contaminates at brownfield sites and suggesting potential remediation measures to allow for the remediation of the sites . The Illinois EPA defines brownfields as a site, or portion thereof, that has actual or perceived contamination and an active potential for redevelopment . PSA With ENSR International May 4, 2001 Page 2 Brownfields sites vary in size, location, age, and past use. These properties can range from a closed gas station to a former multi acre manufacturing facility. The Brownfields Redevelopment Grant Program (BRGP) funds projects contaminated (or suspected of being contaminated) by either petroleum, hazardous waste, or both. Grants are issued to municipalities to identify, evaluate, and prioritize former industrial and commercial property for cleanup. Grants are awarded for: • Extensive site assessments, • Preparation of cleanup plans, and • Development of cleanup objectives . BRGP funds cannot be used for actual cleanup activities. The BRGP is a reimbursement program. If awarded a BRGP grant, a municipality will be reimbursed for eligible and approved costs up to the specified grant amount . Municipalities that request funds under the BRGP for a specific site must enroll the site in the Illinois EPA' s Site Remediation Program (SRP) and proceed in accordance with the applicable regulations for that voluntary cleanup program - unless the site is regulated under the Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) Program. In that case, the LUST program will provide technical oversight of project activities . A municipality may also engage outside professionals to prepare the grant application; however, project statements and applications must be signed by a duly authorized municipal official . Grants shall be limited to a maximum of $120, 0.00 . A municipality may request an initial grant amount of less than $120, 000 and later amend the grant upwards to the maximum amount . Grant awards are distributed as reimbursement of costs incurred by the municipality. Grant amounts shall not exceed 70% of the specific project amount . Specific projects may be a single phase of a larger project (i .e. , a Phase II environmental assessment as a prelude to a larger project) . Municipalities are required to share in any grant award through a 70/30 match (70% grant, 30% match) . See examples below. PSA With ENSR International May 4 , 2001 Page 3 BRGP Project Maximum Grant Costs Award $50, 000 $35, 000 $100, 000 $70, 000 $171, 400 $120, 000 The 30 percent match may be either a monetary match or in-kind. In-kind means that a municipality may count City personnel and equipment costs used for grant-eligible activities towards the match. A municipality has a maximum of three years to meet and report its match, however, match-eligible activities must correspond to the project schedule in the grant application approved by the Illinois EPA. Eligible Expenses Costs eligible for payment from the BRGP include those for brownfields site identification, investigation, characterization, inventory, development of remediation objectives and development of remedial action plans, and for materials or services provided or performed in conjunction with these activities . Such activities and services may include, but are not limited to: 1 . Agency oversight costs of participating in the SRP, 2 . Reasonable environmental consultant oversight services, 3 . Remedial investigation and design, 4 . Development and implementation of activities necessary to establish remediation objectives, 5 . Laboratory services necessary to characterize the site and establish cleanup objectives, 6 . Installation and operation of groundwater investigation and monitoring wells, 7 . Development and implementation of a soil sampling plan, 8 . Development of a groundwater corrective action system, 9. Development of a soil corrective action plan, 10 . Costs associated with seeking reimbursement from the BRGP including, but not limited to, completion of documentation for partial or final payment, and 11 . Purchase costs for non-expendable materials, supplies, equipment or tools purchased and used for the BRGP project . In preparation for submitting an application for the IEPA Brownfield Redevelopment Grant Program, the City sought proposals from six qualified professional consultants to prepare the grant application and conduct the approved environmental assessment . PSA With ENSR International May 4 , 2001 Page 4 The courtesy assistance with the grant application scope of services includes a determination of costs and time frames for performing the prepared environmental assessments, developing the clean-up objectives and preparing the remediation plans for the properties . RFQ' s were requested from the following firms : 1 . Enviro - Kinetics, Skokie, IL 2 . ENSR International, Warrenville, IL 3 . Levine-Fricke, Elgin, IL 4 . Patrick Engineering, Lisle, IL 5 . Harding ESE, Inc . , Chicago, IL 6 . BT2, Madison, IL All of the above-mentioned firms, with the exception of Enviro- Kinetics, submitted RFQ' s for consideration. The RFQ' s were reviewed by Ray Moller, Steve Bone and Rebecca Cors (Vandewalle and Associates) . ENSR and BT2 were selected to be interviewed. While both ENSR and BT2 are more than qualified to perform the requested scope of service, the review team feels that ENSR should be selected to develop the BRGP application and conduct the necessary environmental assessment of the three parcels of land. ENSR is a Chicago-area company and its staff has an excellent working relationship with the IEPA staff that administers the brownfield program. As mentioned earlier, if the City were to maximize the amount of the BRGP, the IEPA would fund $120, 000 and the City would be required to provide a local match of $51, 429 . The total expenditure on environmental services would be $171,429 . Currently, ENSR estimates a grant totaling $134, 9.62 . The BRGP portion of the cost would be $94 , 474 . and the City' s share would be $40, 488 . COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED Project Management Team for the Riverfront/Center City Master Plan Implementation. FINANCIAL IMPACT Expenses related to the construction of Phase I of the Riverfront/Center City Master Plan project would be charged to account number 275-0000-791 . 92-32 , project number 039518, where $4, 178, 008 . 37 remains . No expenses related to the BRGP were included in the riverfront project budget . PSA With ENSR International May 4 , 2001 Page 5 LEGAL IMPACT A Professional Services Agreement will need to be prepared. ALTERNATIVES 1 . Proceed with the development of the application for BRGP and authorize the preparation of a Professional Services Agreement with ENSR in an amount not to exceed $51, 429 . 2 . Do not authorize the BRGP application. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that a Professional Service Agreement be prepared with ENSR International, calling for the development of a Brownfield Redevelopment Grant Program Application submittal and the implementation of identified testing at 35 Ann Street, 520 McBride Street and 500 North Grove Avenue. Fees related to the environmental service shall not exceed $51, 429 . Respectfully submitted, a' Z - /�� L Parker City Manager RHM:sp Attachment
