Cogley, Corporation Counsel SUBJECT: Proposed Amendment to Professional Services Agreement with Robinson Engineering, Ltd. Regarding the City's Application for an Expansion of the Facility Planning Area PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to present to the Mayor and members of the City Council a proposed amendment to the professional services agreement with Robinson Engineering, Ltd. related to the proposed expansion of the City of Elgin and Fox River Water Reclamation District Facility Planning Area. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Mayor and members of the City Council approve the proposed amendment to the professional services agreement totaling $47,000.29 with Robinson Engineering, Ltd. BACKGROUND On October 22, 2003 the city and Robinson Engineering, Ltd. entered into a professional services agreement wherein the city engaged Robinson Engineering to furnish certain professional services in connection with the preparation of a Water Quality Management Plan Amendment Application for the expansion of the City of Elgin and the Fox River Water Reclamation District Facility Planning Area. The proposed Facility Planning Area Amendment related to the area known as the city's Northwest Expansion Area. The city's original contract with Robinson Engineering was in the amount of $21,775. The original agreement related only to Robinson Engineering preparing the Water Quality Management Plan Amendment Application to allow the filing of such application prior to December 1, 2003. Robinson Engineering successfully completed such services and the city was able to file such application with the Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission by the filing deadline of December 1, 2003. ! Proposed Amendment to Professional Services Agreement with Robinson Engineering, Ltd. July 23, 2004 Page 2 Due to the complexities of the issues presented and the then-conflicting multiple applications of different municipalities, the Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission categorized the city's application as a Level 1 hearing. A Level 1 hearing involves substantially more review by the Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission, a public hearing and supplemental filings and submittals by the city as applicant. NIPC conducted a day-long public hearing on February 24, 2004. The city thereafter submitted voluminous additional materials both in the form of technical documents and legal briefs in support of its application. Robinson Engineering provided additional services to the city to assist the city with these efforts. During the pendency of the city's application before the Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission the city and the Village of Pingree Grove reached an agreement on a new boundary agreement. As a result thereof the city was required to substantially amend its application for the proposed Facility Planning Area Amendment including recalculating and resubmitting a number of technical documents in support of its application. Robinson Engineering provided additional services to the city to assist the city with these efforts. On May 27, 2004 the Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission Water Resources Committee adopted a motion of support for the city's application. Such motion of support was conditioned upon three items consisting of. (1) submission of adequate information regarding capacity at the FRWRD wastewater treatment plant; (2) submission of a letter of support from the Illinois Department of Agriculture; and (3) submission of an updated facility plan. Robinson Engineering is continuing to assist the city in providing these additional materials to the Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission staff. Upon receipt of the necessary information the NIPC staff will be forwarding the matter to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency with a recommendation of support for the proposed amendment request. The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency will thereafter issue a decision on the city's application. Attached is a proposed amendment to the city's professional services agreement with Robinson Engineering. Such amendment would increase the scope of services under the agreement to reflect Robinson Engineering's additional efforts in support of the city's application for the Elgin Northwest Expansion Area. The proposed amendment also provides for the amount of compensation for the original and additional services in the new total amount not to exceed $68,755.29. COMMUNITY GROUPSANTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED None. FINANCIAL IMPACT The amendment to the original agreement with Robinson Engineering will total $47,000.29 bringing the revised agreement to a not to exceed $68,755.29.

A budget adjustment will be required. EGAL IMPACT The original professional services agreement with Robinson Engineering was entered into as an exception to the procurement ordinance.
