3.2 — Scope of Constructioin Engineering Services:
It is expected that the construction engineering agreement will be completed with a notice to
proceed issued by approximately March 12, 2007. Construction Engineering work should be
completed within 4 weeks of the completion of the construction including punch list and clean
up. Construction engineering services will be for full time observation/inspection in accordance
with IDOT standard procedures and practices.
Traffic Control & Protection: Special attention must be paid to communication with the
motoring public on the project. Establishment of an effective traffic control and protection
system is critical to the safe operations of the project. Strict conformance to the contract traffic
control plans will be demanded from the contractor.
Public Information and Local Contact: Informing the public of construction activities is
critical to the success of the project. Reconstruction projects can have a serious impact on local
businesses along the project. It is therefore important to keep affected businesses and agencies
informed about the schedule and status of the project. BLA will meet with the local businesses
and residents on a regular basis to keep them informed of detailed work schedules on the project,
particularly plans for staging construction of entrances and exits.
It is also proposed that the police and fire personnel be kept informed of the project schedule and
status to ensure rapid and efficient emergency responses can be attained for areas affected by the
construction activities. Periodic handouts can be prepared for distribution to affected entities.
Monitoring Construction Progress: Periodic progress meetings will be conducted to ensure that
the project progresses on schedule and to ensure that all stake holders are kept informed of
project issues and progress. Progress meetings are especially important for this project because
of the participation of several organizations. It will be critical to the success of the project that
all parties be kept aware of project decisions and participate in the timely resolution of potential
delay issues.
Utility Coordination: Timely relocation of conflicting utility facilities is a critical factor in
maintaining the project's schedule. Utilities will be discussed at the preconstruction meeting and
any conflicts will be monitored at regularly scheduled progress meetings with the contractor and
the utility company.
Survey Work: BLA will provide work with the contractor and designer to establish critical
project control points, and perform periodic reviews of the contractor's work to ensure
substantial conformance with the proposed lines and grades of the project. It was noted that a
pay item for contractor layout was not on the current list of quantities.

performing on site and plant inspection/observation as necessary.
Project Close Out: A timely close out of this project is important to ensure prompt
reimbursement of state and developer funds to the CITY OF ELGIN. BLA has a significant
experience with project close out with IDOT PROJECTS. On a recent $33M IDOT contract
BLA completed final records well in advance of the normal time period required to close out a
project. The project manager, Bob Rollings was the IDOT Bureau Chief of Construction for 12
years and managed the close out of over 2,700 IDOT contracts. Bob and the construction staff
are well versed in the close out requirements for IDOT projects.

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;
pavement; lighting; and possibly sidewalk. Bollinger, Lach & Associates will be responsib e
directly to the City of Elgin's Department of Public Works. We will provide ro riate
and °fin 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 strture 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. The
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 r
temporary embankments and structures that are wider than the existing embankment equie.
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 Il abutment construction is complete

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 w 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-today 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 Metm 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
Metm if it is required at the bridge site. If so, we would recommend that it be initiated as
Carly 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 nd
laboratory testing,and preparation of a geotechnical desi r g
