For the CITY: ATTEST: THE CITY OF ELGIN BY By City Clerk City Manager (SEAL) For the ENGINEER: Dated this 8th day of A9Mt , A.D., 2003. ATTEST: BY-2 B Secr to President (SEAL) ATTACHMENT A PROJECT UNDERSTANDING The City of Elgin is requesting design engineering services and most likely construction observation services for the lowering of Frazier Avenue. The reconstruction of the roadway will be funded by the City of Elgin. Metra will be rebuilding the existing structure over Frazier Avenue. The scope of work includes design and construction coordination with Metra and its consultant. The new roadway will be at least 25 feet wide with curb and gutter, sidewalk, storm sewer and new street lighting. The existing sanitary sewer and new watermain will be designed by others and constructed prior to the Frazier Avenue roadway work. Adjustments to sanitary sewer manholes and to fire hydrants will be included in the design work. The length of the improvement is approximately 700 feet and is to accommodate semi truck traffic. The City desires to use a consultant for the roadway design and construction work who has experience working with Metra. Design services are to include plans, specifications, permits, cost estimates, bid documents and bid tabulations. Plans and specifications are to be prepared to IDOT standards as modified by the City of Elgin. Plans are to be in AutoCAD format. Work will include evaluation of improvements for roadway profile, alignment and geometry. These tasks will be initiated during the preliminary design phase. For the purpose of this proposal we are intending to shift the alignment of the western portion Frazier Avenue as far as possible to the south and therefore maximize the length of the driveways for the commercial property on the north side of the street. This shift will provide the best opportunity to minimize the grade for trucks on Frazier Avenue and at the same time minimize the driveway slopes. At this time we do not foresee the need for any retaining walls. The work may also include construction observation for the roadway reconstruction. Construction work may include: earthwork; utility adjustments; storm sewers; curb and gutter; pavement; lighting; and possibly sidewalk. Bollinger, Lach & Associates will be responsible directly to the City of Elgin's Department of Public Works. We will provide appropriate field and office staff necessary for supervision of the roadway contractor's construction operations and for coordination with Metra's contractor. We have spoken with Metra's consultant regarding the proposed replacement structure over Frazier Avenue. At this time they anticipate that the replacement structure will be similar b the existing. The bridge may be a single span structure, most likely with new abutments. They anticipate maintaining the existing low steel elevation for the replacement structure. Aside from coordinating storm water collection, their major concern is how to build the new structure and maintain rail traffic. Building a new bridge while maintaining train traffic may require temporary embankments and structures that are wider than the existing embankment and bridge. Also, the new bridge will most likely be built in two main stages. Consequently, no roadway construction work can be done at the bridge until the Stage II abutment construction is complete. Metra's contractor may require access via Frazier Avenue to both the north and south sides of the bridge during construction. 2-1 KEY ELEMENTS OF THE PROJECT The planning, design and construction of the Frazier Avenue lowering will have to be responsive to a broad range of issues. Bollinger, Lach & Associates' project team has the required experience through our extensive involvement in the planning and design of many major transportation improvements. The project team's past projects have been successful because of our ability to communicate with, and meet the needs of, our clients as well as others in the community who are affected by the project. Coordination with Metra and its consultant will take place during all phases of the project. Once an appropriate bridge opening for the roadway is established, we will need to coordinate the horizontal and vertical clearance between the bridge foundation elements and the new storm sewer and drainage structures. We anticipate that pipe underdrains installed behind the new abutments will to need be piped into the roadway drainage structures. Particular attention will be given to the treatment of drainage from Metra's embankment, especially for the northwest ditch that presently empties onto Frazier Avenue. Conversely, Metra will require the proposed profile grade for Frazier Avenue in order to obtain design parameters for their bridge wingwall foundations. Coordination for construction will include details and scheduling to be shown in the roadway plans and specifications, as well as the day-to-day coordination that will be required in the field during construction. For example, if the bridge is built using staged construction a portion of pipes for draining the bridge backfill may need to be laid by the bridge contractor and then picked up in the future by the roadway contractor, with an appropriate split in the quantities. It may be advisable to provide a significant estimated lead-time in the roadway construction schedule to allow the Metra bridge work to progress to a point where the roadway contractor can mobilize and complete his work without incurring down time due to the bridge contractor. Although construction site storm water drainage is a standard consideration for any project, this site will present additional challenges because of the steep grades and coordination required with a separate contractor working in middle on another contractor's construction site. Though it will be addressed in design, this is an area where the Resident Engineer will need to continually monitor construction progress and make adjustments in the field as necessary for proper treatment of stormwater drainage. Final plans and specifications will address all requirements for IEPA storm water discharge. A thorough analysis of temporary measures, permanent measures and required pay items will be needed for approval of the permit and plans. Implementation of the Stormwater Management Plan will prevent unnecessary delays during construction. As part of the improvement for lowering and reconstructing Frazier Avenue, the final configuration for vehicle movements in and out the commercial property to the north will be limited to a select number of curb cuts. The location of the cuts and traffic flow through the property will have to be evaluated. We anticipate that reconstruction on the commercial property will necessitate obtaining a temporary construction easement from 2-2 the owner. BLA understands the importance of limiting the_need for easements. The entire process for temporary easements takes time and adds cost to the project. Maintenance of traffic during roadway construction will also be a consideration. At the northwest portion of the project, access for the numerous commercial tenants, customers and delivery trucks will be coordinated and maintained as necessary to limit unnecessary criticism from the public. Construction at the intersection with Clifford Avenue must allow for continuous access to the FRWRD North Plant. BLA would assist in review of a maintenance agreement between the City of Elgin and Metra if it is required at the bridge site. If so, we would recommend that it be initiated as early as possible. The same can be said for intergovernmental agreements necessary for construction within each agencies right-of-ways. We understand that were it not for the involvement of Metra, lowering the roadway would.not by itself be a complex project. Not only should the alternatives for roadway improvements be cost-effective, but so should the engineering activities. Reducing unnecessary engineering activities will also contribute to an overall cost effective project. PROJECT SCOPE The following is an anticipated scope for work that may need to be performed: Soil Borings Obtain two roadway soil borings for use in pavement design. Drilling, sampling and laboratory testing, and preparation of a geotechnical design report with recommendations. Work will be performed in accordance with the applicable requirements of AASHTO and IDOT. Soil Boring Tasks: Determine location and type of sampling for boring Obtain utility clearances and permits Perform soil borings Locate borings by survey Prepare geotechnical report Field Survey Recover a benchmark from previous topographic survey and extend a level circuit to the site. Conduct field survey work to obtain relevant topographic and planimetric survey information of the subject property to verify the existing topographic survey. Appropriate spot elevations, rim and invert information will be obtained at the direction of the BLA Engineering staff. Two site benchmarks will be established if existing marks are not suitable. Field Survey Tasks: Establish site benchmarks Establish existing vertical and horizontal alignment Spot check roadway elements and establish elevations Topographic map verification 2-3 If ROW takes, permanent easements and/or temporary easements are required, we will perform a boundary line entrancement survey and prepare right-of-way acquisition plats and legal descriptions. Local Agency Coordination Local agency coordination will include: IDOT for work on Route 31 curb returns, FRWRD for manhole adjustments, Public Works for fire hydrant adjustments and ComEd for pole relocation. Pavement Analysis A pavement analysis will be performed based on the projected traffic and the geotechnical analysis supplied by the geotechnical consultant. Pavement Analysis Tasks: Geotechnical consultant to evaluate soils for pavement reconstruction Obtain traffic counts Provide analysis for flexible pavement design at a 20 year design period Prepare typical section Permitting Requirements NPDES Permit for erosion control during construction and for the permanent discharge point at Clifford Street. IDOT for work within their right-of-way at Route 31. Maintenance of Traffic Plan Frazier Avenue will be closed during construction except for local traffic at the west end. For the west end of Frazier Avenue and for the Clifford Street entrance to the FRWRD plant we would anticipate maintaining a single through lane during roadway construction. Preliminary Design Prior to initiating preliminary plans we will present a concept plan study to the City for review and concurrence. Preliminary design will encompass the entire project site and will consider alignment, geometrics, curb cut configuration for commercial property, coordination with Metra, traffic, pedestrian requirements, traffic on adjacent roadways and stormwater drainage design. Preliminary Design Tasks: Identify preliminary cross sections and alignments Collect data Utility Coordination: Nicor Electric Telephone Cable TV FRWRD Analyze existing conditions Determine reasonable alignments Identify recommended cross sections and alignment 2-4 Obtain detour approval (if required) Initiate local agency letters of intent/understanding Set pre-final geometry Select preferred cross sections and alignment Prepare preliminary plans and draft special provisions Submit for review and comment Final Engineering Plans Bollinger, Lach and Associates will prepare construction contract drawings and specifications in accordance with the preliminary plan review. The plans will reflect any necessary work to complete the roadway improvements along Frazier Avenue with respect to pavement structure and grades, earthwork, storm sewer improvements and any utility adjustments, including the intersection with IL 31 and Clifford Avenue. Special consideration and attention will be given to constructability as it relates to coordination with Metra and any applicable permits, including the Storm Water Pollution Prevention permit. Final Plans Tasks: Monitor status of permit applications Prepare final plans and specifications Submit final plans and specifications for City and State review Respond to comments and prepare construction documents Cost Estimates Detailed construction cost estimates will be prepared for the recommended alternative in preliminary design and for final engineering plans that will include quantities and unit pricing for all items of work. Construction Cost Estimate Tasks: Prepare list of pay items and quantities for roadway Obtain latest bid tab information Prepare estimate Post-Design Activities Post-design activities will include preparation of bid documents and bid tab analysis. Construction Observation Bollinger, Lach and Associates, Inc. will provide an office and field staff of a construction manager, resident engineers, assistant engineers and technicians, as required. The resident engineer and assistant engineers can be at the work site on a full time basis with the construction manager making periodic visits to site. Construction observation work will include administration, scheduling, quality assurance and inspection. All contractor work will be monitored and weekly job meetings will be held to review progress, update City staff on upcoming work, and resolve any issues that need to be addressed. BLA will make sure that all the work is coordinated and the final documentation is closed out upon completion of the project by the contractor. 2-5 Standard construction reviews and submittals will be accomplished as the contractor's work progresses for the duration of the project. BLA will establish certain review processes with the contractor and the Department of Public Works that can be summarized as follows: Project Diary Permit Submittal Assistance Access Assistance Submittal Log Shop Drawing Log Request For Information Log Project Schedule Pay Request Review Two-Week Look Ahead Schedule Material Testing and Fabrication Information Weekly Progress Meetings Coordination of Metra's contractor Punch List Items Change Orders Extra Work Orders As-Built Drawings 2-6 ATTACHMENT B SEPTEMBER OCTOBER NOVEMBER Kick Off Meeting X Prefinal Plans City Review Final Plans Sept. 18 Oct.20 Nov. 3 Nov. 17 ATTACHMENT C Bollinger, Lach &Associates, Inc.

Dorgan, City Manager �, John M. Loete, Public Works Director SUBJECT: Engineering Services Agreement with Bollinger, Lach & Associates, Inc . for the Frazier Avenue Lowering Project PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with information to consider an agreement with Bollinger, Lach and Associates, Inc. for design engineering services for the completion of plans, specifications, and bid documents for the Frazier Avenue Lowering Project . BACKGROUND This project will provide for the lowering of Frazier Avenue under the Metra overpass (east of State Route 31) to allow truck access to the Fox River Water Reclamation District' s (FRWRD) North Plant . Currently, the trucks use Jerusha Avenue, further to the north, and then transit residential streets to access the plant because the overpass on Frazier does not have adequate clearance for them. The purpose of the project is to provide the residential neighborhood relief from the truck traffic. It is moving forward at this time because Metra is currently designing the replacement of the overpass structure to be constructed next year. FRWRD was approached about sharing in the cost of the roadway improvement, but declined. Funding for the design of the Frazier Avenue lowering was approved in the City' s 2003 budget ($16, 000) to allow the design of the two projects to be coordinated. Besides lowering the roadway approximately five feet, the improvements will include a full depth asphalt pavement, curb and gutter, storm sewer, and street lights . Besides the normal scope of work of preparation Engineering Services - Frazier Ave. Lowering Project August 22, 2003 Page 2 of design drawings, specifications, contract documents and billing assistance for the project, the engineer will have to coordinate the roadway design and construction schedule with Metra' s project . Requests for proposal were solicited from seven firms, with six firms submitting proposals on June 30, 2003 . The firms responding were: • Bollinger, Lach & Assoc. • Crawford, Murphy & Tilley • K Plus Engineering • Smith Engineering • Stanley Consultants • TKDA Engineering A staff selection committee evaluated the six proposals, with Bollinger, Lach & Assoc. being selected as the most qualified firm for the project . Evaluation of the proposals not only included the firms' ability to provide design engineering services, but also construction engineering services. Construction engineering services are not included in the agreement at this time, but will be added via amendment when a road construction contract is awarded. Upon selection, Bollinger, Lach & Assoc. met with staff to finalize the project scope and negotiate a project fee. The final negotiated fee is $34, 822 . 03 . This fee is approximately 14% of the estimated construction cost of $250, 000 . A typical design fee for a roadway project is 8% to 10% of the construction cost . The budgeted amount of $16, 000 for design engineering was based upon an original construction cost estimate of $200, 000 . Several of the firms indicated that retaining walls will be needed near Metra' s overpass because of the roadway lowering needed to get proper clearance.

Bollinger, Lach' s proposed fee is consistent with the fee submitted by the other engineers, which ranged from $40, 000 to $60, 000 .
