Parker, City Manager SUBJECT: Engineering Services Agreement 2001-2006 Kimball Street Dam Inspections PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with information to consider entering into an engineering services agreement with Collins Engineers, Inc . to complete the required yearly inspections on the Kimball Street Dam. BACKGROUND As part of the requirement to obtain a permit from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) to complete repairs on the Kimball Street Dam, the City developed an operation and maintenance plan for the dam. One of the requirements of this plan is that the dam be inspected on a yearly basis . This engineering services agreement will provide for the completion of the required inspections over a six-year period. The annual inspections consist of a "minor" and "major" inspection of the dam performed in a three-year cycle . Two "minor" inspections will be performed followed by one "major" inspection. The "minor" inspection consists of an annual survey of previously established control points installed on the dam and adjacent to the dam to monitor horizontal and vertical movement . The dam will also be visually inspected for any concrete cracking or deterioration, any erosion that may be occurring around the dam and any visible seepage or leakage. The "major" inspection will include all of the items previously discussed as well as a tactile inspection of the dam. This will include an underwater inspection and/or soundings of the dam to determine if any erosion or sedimentation is occurring at the foundation of the dam. The engineer will also be required to complete and file all inspection forms with the IDNR. - . elok Kimball Street Dam Inspections October 5, 2001 Page 2 Request for proposals were sent to four firms, with proposals being received on August 17, 2001 from three firms : * Collins Engineers * MWH * Teng & Associates A staff selection committee of the three proposals was conducted, which resulted in Collins Engineers being the top-rated firm.

For the CITY: ATTEST: THE CITY OF ELGIN By %1% IL By - ity -r ity Manager (SEAL) For the ENGINEER: Dated this 24th day of September , A.D., 2001. ATTEST: COLLINS ENGINEERS, INC. B r� jf �7 '� y Vic ' 'resident y President (SEAL) Scope of Services In providing the necessary inspection and reporting services for this project, Collins will utilize the expertise and prior experience of its Project Team to present the structural importance of the dam's current condition, and to detail what remedial measures are actually needed to protect and preserve the dam and maintain its safety for the public upstream and downstream of the dam. The inspection will be conducted by a skilled and competent professional engineer and/or professional engineer-diver with considerable experience in the above water and underwater inspection of dams. This individual, whether it be the P.E. Team Leader or someone working closely under their direction, will: ♦ Utilize the appropriate equipment and safety procedures; ♦ Employ a careful systematic approach incorporating visual/tactile inspection techniques; and ♦ Rely on engineering know-how to insure that all notable conditions are found and properly recorded. The identification of all important conditions during the major inspections will include: ♦ The detection of significant deterioration and damage above and below water; ♦ Noting channel bottom make-up and conditions and the presence of any scour or infilling; • Identifying all dam foundation exposure or undermining; as well as ♦ Recording the presence of drift accumulations, the condition of appurtenant structures, the status of the channel banks and overall waterway, and the presence of any settlement or misalignment of the dam components. The identification of all important conditions during the minor inspections will - include: • The detection of significant deterioration and damage above water; ♦ Recording the presence of drift accumulations, the condition of appurtenant structures, the status of the channel banks and overall waterway, and the presence of any settlement or misalignment of the dam components. Collins' detailed underwater inspections will include a complete visual and tactile examination of the submerged portions of the dam and localized cleaning for random areas, structurally critical areas, and suspect areas of concern. A thorough review of all available design and prior inspection data, and in most cases, our intimate knowledge of the dam from prior inspection will be used to assess the current state of the dam and any progression of its deficiencies. The water depth soundings and channel bottom configuration will be compared with previous profiles to evaluate the channel for any aggradation and/or degradation, and its impact on the dam's overall stability. With the inspection findings fully documented in the field, the task of preparing an accurate and concise inspection report will be performed in the office, by or under the direct supervision of the Project Manager, Mr. Daniel G. Stromberg, S.E., P.E. The field documentation will include noting the structural importance of the conditions found and the need for repairs, along with developing any preliminary recommendations that can be made. The field inspection personnel will be actively involved throughout the report preparation process, and their intimate knowledge of the findings, coupled with the field data, pertinent photographic or video documentation, appropriate figures, and testing results, will serve to ensure that the dam conditions are completely presented and accurately evaluated, along with repair recommendations that are indeed necessary. Having previously reported on this dam will also provide for consistency and continuity with respect to condition assessments and repair recommendations, as well as assist in identifying any changed conditions or detrimental trends of structural or scour related importance.
