Attachment A
Scope of Services
Many of the existing signs in the older areas of the City of Elgin are in poor
condition and require replacement. The City proposes that a sign inventory
be conducted to develop a coordinated program for the replacement of these
defective signs. In conjunction with this effort, the City also wishes to
upgrade their existing signs to meet current Manual of Uniform Traffic
Control Devices (MUTCD) standards.
By creating this inventory of City signs in their CASSWORKS database,
City staff will be able to track future sign work against existing assets. The
sign inventory and replacement program must be a seamless process, and
the completed database must work as intended without additional debugging
and reprogramming.
This proposal provides for engineering services for the inspection, design
and bidding services for the replacement of existing signing. The work
includes inventory of existing regulatory, warning and directional signage
and subsequent evaluation to determine required replacement. The program
is anticipated to be a multi-year program starting in 2005.
First Year Services (2005)
This following work is proposed as part of the First Year Services to be
performed in 2005. The scope of services for subsequent years in the sign
replacement program is listed below but not included in our fee.
Windshield Survey
Stanley Consultants, Inc will perform a windshield survey of all arterial,
collector, and local routes within the City to identify signs with obvious
visual damage. We will note the type of sign, type of damage, and collect
information relevant to its location (latitude and longitude as well as address
if easily identifiable). Upon completion of the survey, a meeting with the
City will be held to review which signs should be replaced in the first year
contract.
Pilot Program
A pilot program for the collection and processing of detailed database
information will be performed. This will give us an idea of what type of
production rate can be expected when collecting this information over future
5GCCL-7915.MGOV5.EIginSigns I
Attachment A
project years. Stanley Consultants will collect inventory data for a pilot
project area. A sample geodatabase will then be developed and the
inventory data will be downloaded into the CASS WORKS. RJN Group
will perform bench testing to make sure that required the data collection
process works smoothly. A meeting will be held with the City to review the
results of the pilot program and to establish required database elements for
subsequent year surveys.
Bid Documents and Bidding Assistance
Stanley Consultants will prepare bid documents for a contract to replace
damaged signs identified during the windshield survey. The number of
signs to be replaced in the contract will be according to available budget.
Bid specifications and standard details for replacement will be prepared in
accordance with IDOT guidelines, policies and standards, as well as in
accordance with the requirements of the City of Elgin. A table of sign
replacement locations will be included that indicates sign types and their
location according to approximate latitude and longitude that was recorded
during the windshield survey.
Special provisions included in the bid documents will supplement the
"Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction", adopted
January 1, 2002 by the Illinois Department of Transportation. A Project
Manual will be prepared that includes bid forms, instruction to bidders,
contract bid form, bonding and insurance requirements, State and Federal
compliance requirements (where and if necessary) and special provisions.
All contract documents will be prepared in accordance with City
requirements. Final quantities and an Engineer's Estimate will be submitted.
Stanley Consultants will assist City staff in bidding the project and awarding
the contract. We will also conduct the prebid meeting.
Subsequent Year Services
These services are not included in our proposal for First Year Services 2005
but are proposed for subsequent years
Data Collection
Stanley Consultants, in conjunction with City staff, will prioritize the order
of streets and finalize the list of attributes to be collected during the sign
inventory. A work plan for sign inventory work will then be developed
based on budgetary and schedule constraints. Existing Elgin geodatabase
information will be used in setting up the sign inventory geodatabase
5GCCL-7915.MGOV5.EIginSigns 2
Attachment A
Stanley Consultants will review signage for conformity with the Manual on
Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Missing signs that are needed
to meet safety requirements will be noted as well as signs that do not meet
standards. Inventory tags will be placed on each sign. Stanley Consultants
also proposes to photograph unique signs (i.e. stop signs are not unique and
probably would not need to be photographed) and include them in the ESRI
database.
Per our discussions with the City, street signs are to be excluded from the
sign inventory.
Field data will be collected using the Thales Mobilemapper equipped with
GPS and ArcPad. The GPS receiver attached to the Mobile mapper will
record the location of each sign using a signal broadcast by satellites. The
location will be differentially corrected with a beacon receiver to provide
submeter accuracy. Each Mobilemapper will be equipped with Arcpad and
will have City GIS layers installed so that sign locations can be immediately
verified when measurements are taken.
Sign Standards
Stanley Consultants will assist the City in developing standards for signing
school zones, crosswalks, parking and lane additions and deletions. These
standards will be used to evaluate required signing improvements as well as
provide guidelines for future development within the City
Project setup and Database Testing
Based on the pilot project performed during the first year, a geodatabase will
be developed and the inventory data will be downloaded into the CASS
WORKS Sign Inventory. RJN Group will perform additional bench testing
to make sure that required the data collection process works smoothly.
Upon satisfactory completion of the benchtest, the desired database fields
will be reviewed with the City and refined
CASS WORKS and the ESRI Database
Field data collected with the Mobilemapper will be downloaded into an
ESRI geodatabase. Once the data has been checked, it will be downloaded
into CASS WORKS. Information downloaded into CASS WORKS will
help track work orders on signs that need to be changed, installed, fixed or
just routinely inspected. Work done on the signs can also be tracked easily
for future reference. After inventory data is entered into the CASS WORKS
system, Stanley Consultants will run a series of queries and reports to ensure
that the database works. Hours have also been provided for our
subconsultant, RJN Group, Inc, to assist with this task. This work will be
5GCCL-7915.MGOV5.EIginSigns 3
Attachment A
done in the offices of the City and our staff would be glad to assist your staff
in the use of CASS WORKS during database startup and testing.
The ESRI geodatabase will also be delivered to the City and provide
additional information that may not be contained in the CASS WORKS
database. It will contain both spatial and non-spatial data including digital
images. This data, combined with the physical attributes of the sign, will
provide an accurate representation of the location and condition of each sign
in the inventory and will allow for prioritization of signs to be replaced.
Signs that were replaced in 2005 will be added to the database as new signs.
Engineering Analysis
Signs entered into the ESRI geodatabase will be analyzed for replacement.
A rating system for prioritizing sign replacement will be jointly developed
with the City. Sign deficiencies to be prioritized may include missing or
damaged signs, unsigned hazards, low legibility or retroreflectivity.
Essential signs with one or more deficiencies would be recommended as top
priorities. In addition, signs that do not meet City Standards would also be
recommended for replacement.
Sign prioritization will also consider the requirements of the MUTCD
concerning non-compliant devices on existing highways. These would be
brought into compliance with the 2003 edition of the MUTCD as part of a
systematic upgrading of substandard traffic control devices as required the
Highway Safety Program.
Bid Documents and Bidding Assistance
Stanley Consultants will prepare bid documents for a contract to replace and
install signage. Signs replacement will be prioritized as identified in the
engineering analysis and according to available budget. Add alternates will
be included to maximize the use of the available budget. Bid specifications
will include exhibits showing sign location and standard details for
replacement and will be prepared in accordance with IDOT guidelines,
policies and standards, as well as in accordance with the requirements of the
City of Elgin
Special provisions included in the bid documents will supplement the
"Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction", adopted
January 1, 2002 by the Illinois Department of Transportation. A Project
Manual will be prepared that includes bid forms, instruction to bidders,
contract bid form, bonding and insurance requirements, State and Federal
compliance requirements (where and if necessary) and special provisions.
All contract documents will be prepared in accordance with City
requirements. Final quantities and an Engineer's Estimate will be submitted.
5GCCL-7915.MGOV5.EIginSigns 4
Attachment A
Stanley Consultants will assist City staff in bidding the project and awarding
the contract. We will also conduct the prebid meeting and field check
representative areas of the project area to insure that sign sizes, types and
placement are in compliance with the specifications.
Deliverables
Deliverables for this portion of the project include a working CASS
WORKS sign database; an ESRI geodatabase sign layer and bidding
documents for the signs that are inventoried in 2005. All signs that are
identified for replacement in the bidding documents will be entered into
CASS WORKS and the ESRI database as new signs.

Consultants for related engineering services on the subject contract.
RECOMMENDATION
Alow
It is recommended that the City Council approve Amendment No. 1 in the amount of$85,000 to
the Engineering Services Agreement with Stanley Consultants for the Street Signage Inventory
and Upgrade Project and authorize the City Manager to execute the necessary documents.
BACKGROUND
At its meeting on April 27, 2005, the City Council authorized an agreement with Stanley
Consultants for a multi-year project to upgrade street signage throughout the City. The project's
purpose is to survey the signage throughout the City for condition and appropriateness under the
newly released edition of the Manual for Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and then
develop bid specifications for the removal, replacement, or relocation of the signs that do not
meet the standard. The first two year's scope was adjusted to include a visual survey of all signs
on City maintained arterial and collector streets so that an initial replacement contract could
address visually deficient signs. This adjustment was made because of the wide spread poor
condition of the signage and was included in the contract scope approved by Council. The
installation of those signs is scheduled to begin next week.
The proposed amendment No. 1 authorizes the work for the third year of the project and returns
to the original scope of examining the correctness of sign installations through out the City,
placing an identity tag on each sign, testing its reflectivity, determining its location with GPS,
and downloading the information into our computerized management system. It is anticipated
,g"► that this work will take the remaining three years of the contract. In addition, the amendment

Scope of Services
Many of the existing signs in the older areas of the City of Elgin are in poor
condition and require replacement. The City proposes that a sign inventory
be conducted to develop a coordinated program for the replacement of these
defective signs. In conjunction with this effort, the City also wishes to
upgrade their existing signs to meet current Manual of Uniform Traffic
Control Devices (MUTCD) standards.
By creating this inventory of City signs in their CASSWORKS database,
City staff will be able to track future sign work against existing assets. The
sign inventory and replacement program must be a seamless process, and
the completed database must work as intended without additional debugging
and reprogramming.
This proposal provides for engineering services for the inspection, design
1011110, and bidding services for the replacement of existing signing. The work
includes inventory of existing regulatory, warning and directional signage
and subsequent evaluation to determine required replacement. The program
is anticipated to be a multi-year program starting in 2005.
First Year Services (2005)
This following work is proposed as part of the First Year Services to be
performed in 2005. The scope of services for subsequent years in the sign
replacement program is listed below but not included in our fee.
Windshield Survey
Stanley Consultants, Inc will perform a windshield survey of all arterial,
collector, and local routes within the City to identify signs with obvious
visual damage. We will note the type of sign, type of damage, and collect
information relevant to its location (latitude and longitude as well as address
if easily identifiable). Upon completion of the survey, a meeting with the
City will be held to review which signs should be replaced in the first year
contract.
Pilot Program
A pilot program for the collection and processing of detailed database
information will be performed. This will give us an idea of what type of
40P`'' production rate can be expected when collecting this information over future
5GCCL-7915.MGOV5.EIginSigns l
Attachment A
.r■A C
project years. Stanley Consultants will collect inventory data for a pilot
project area. A sample geodatabase will then be developed and the
inventory data will be downloaded into the CASS WORKS. RJN Group
will perform bench testing to make sure that required the data collection
process works smoothly. A meeting will be held with the City to review the
results of the pilot program and to establish required database elements for
subsequent year surveys.
Bid Documents and Bidding Assistance
Stanley Consultants will prepare bid documents for a contract to replace
damaged signs identified during the windshield survey. The number of
signs to be replaced in the contract will be according to available budget.
Bid specifications and standard details for replacement will be prepared in
accordance with IDOT guidelines, policies and standards, as well as in
accordance with the requirements of the City of Elgin. A table of sign
replacement locations will be included that indicates sign types and their
location according to approximate latitude and longitude that was recorded
during the windshield survey.
Special provisions included in the bid documents will supplement the
"Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction", adopted
January 1, 2002 by the Illinois Department of Transportation. A Project
Manual will be prepared that includes bid forms, instruction to bidders,
contract bid form, bonding and insurance requirements, State and Federal
compliance requirements (where and if necessary) and special provisions.
All contract documents will be prepared in accordance with City
requirements. Final quantities and an Engineer's Estimate will be submitted.
Stanley Consultants will assist City staff in bidding the project and awarding
the contract. We will also conduct the prebid meeting.
Subsequent Year Services
These services are not included in our proposal for First Year Services 2005
but are proposed for subsequent years
Data Collection
Stanley Consultants, in conjunction with City staff, will prioritize the order
of streets and finalize the list of attributes to be collected during the sign
inventory. A work plan for sign inventory work will then be developed
based on budgetary and schedule constraints. Existing Elgin geodatabase
APR., information will be used in setting up the sign inventory geodatabase
5GCCL-7915.MGOV5.ElginSigns 2
Attachment A
Stanley Consultants will review signage for conformity with the Manual on
Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Missing signs that are needed
to meet safety requirements will be noted as well as signs that do not meet
standards. Inventory tags will be placed on each sign. Stanley Consultants
also proposes to photograph unique signs (i.e. stop signs are not unique and
probably would not need to be photographed) and include them in the ESRI
database.
Per our discussions with the City, street signs are to be excluded from the
sign inventory.
Field data will be collected using the Thales Mobilemapper equipped with
GPS and ArcPad. The GPS receiver attached to the Mobile mapper will
record the location of each sign using a signal broadcast by satellites. The
location will be differentially corrected with a beacon receiver to provide
submeter accuracy. Each Mobilemapper will be equipped with Arcpad and
will have City GIS layers installed so that sign locations can be immediately
verified when measurements are taken.
Sign Standards
Stanley Consultants will assist the City in developing standards for signing
school zones, crosswalks, parking and lane additions and deletions. These
standards will be used to evaluate required signing improvements as well as
provide guidelines for future development within the City
Project setup and Database Testing
Based on the pilot project performed during the first year, a geodatabase will
be developed and the inventory data will be downloaded into the CASS
WORKS Sign Inventory. RJN Group will perform additional bench testing
to make sure that required the data collection process works smoothly.
Upon satisfactory completion of the benchtest, the desired database fields
will be reviewed with the City and refined
CASS WORKS and the ESRI Database
Field data collected with the Mobilemapper will be downloaded into an
ESRI geodatabase. Once the data has been checked, it will be downloaded
into CASS WORKS. Information downloaded into CASS WORKS will
help track work orders on signs that need to be changed, installed, fixed or
just routinely inspected. Work done on the signs can also be tracked easily
for future reference. After inventory data is entered into the CASS WORKS
system, Stanley Consultants will run a series of queries and reports to ensure
that the database works. Hours have also been provided for our
4111110' subconsultant, RJN Group, Inc, to assist with this task. This work will be
5GCCL•7915.MGOV5.EIginSigns 3
Attachment A
done in the offices of the City and our staff would be glad to assist your staff
in the use of CASS WORKS during database startup and testing.
The ESRI geodatabase will also be delivered to the City and provide
additional information that may not be contained in the CASS WORKS
database. It will contain both spatial and non-spatial data including digital
images. This data, combined with the physical attributes of the sign, will
provide an accurate representation of the location and condition of each sign
in the inventory and will allow for prioritization of signs to be replaced.
Signs that were replaced in 2005 will be added to the database as new signs.
Engineering Analysis
Signs entered into the ESRI geodatabase will be analyzed for replacement.
A rating system for prioritizing sign replacement will be jointly developed
with the City. Sign deficiencies to be prioritized may include missing or
damaged signs, unsigned hazards, low legibility or retroreflectivity.
Essential signs with one or more deficiencies would be recommended as top
priorities. In addition, signs that do not meet City Standards would also be
recommended for replacement.
Sign prioritization will also consider the requirements of the MUTCD
concerning non-compliant devices on existing highways. These would be
brought into compliance with the 2003 edition of the MUTCD as part of a
systematic upgrading of substandard traffic control devices as required the
Highway Safety Program.
Bid Documents and Bidding Assistance
Stanley Consultants will prepare bid documents for a contract to replace and
install signage. Signs replacement will be prioritized as identified in the
engineering analysis and according to available budget. Add alternates will
be included to maximize the use of the available budget. Bid specifications
will include exhibits showing sign location and standard details for
replacement and will be prepared in accordance with IDOT guidelines,
policies and standards, as well as in accordance with the requirements of the
City of Elgin
Special provisions included in the bid documents will supplement the
"Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction", adopted
January 1, 2002 by the Illinois Department of Transportation. A Project
Manual will be prepared that includes bid forms, instruction to bidders,
contract bid form, bonding and insurance requirements, State and Federal
compliance requirements (where and if necessary) and special provisions.
- All contract documents will be prepared in accordance with City
requirements. Final quantities and an Engineer's Estimate will be submitted.
5GCCL-7915.MGOV5.EIginSigns 4
Attachment A
Stanley Consultants will assist City staff in bidding the project and awarding
the contract. We will also conduct the prebid meeting and field check
representative areas of the project area to insure that sign sizes, types and
placement are in compliance with the specifications.
Deliverables
Deliverables for this portion of the project include a working CASS
WORKS sign database; an ESRI geodatabase sign layer and bidding
documents for the signs that are inventoried in 2005. All signs that are
identified for replacement in the bidding documents will be entered into
CASS WORKS and the ESRI database as new signs.
