For the CITY: ATTEST: THE CITY OF ELGIN By By ACi &CI City Manager (SEAL) For the ENGINEER: Dated this 8___ti_day of Au t A.D., 2003_ ATTEST: By ec B 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 Av be funded b the enue_ The reconstruction of the roadwa y will y e 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. existing sanitary sewer and new watermain will be designed by others and constructed prior to the Frazier Avenue work. . sewer manholes and to fire hydrants will be included r nathe design work.�The length o Sanitary f of the improvement is approximately 700 feet and is to accommodate semi truck traffic. The City worlds 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 bid tabulations. Plans and specifications are to be prepared to MOT standards a and modified the City of Elgin. Plans are to be in AutoCAD format by Work will include evaluation of improvements for roadway profile, alignment an ..These tasks will be initiated during d geometry. ng 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 Property on the north side of the street. This shift will rrov de the est oys for the commercial the grade for trucks on Frazier Avenue and at the same time minimize the driveway o slopes.mmAt 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 field 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 Metra's contractor may require access via Frazier Avenue to both the north and south sides bridge during construction. of the 2-i 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 Work will be performed in accordance with the applicablg [DOT. enrequrrements of AASH`'O and 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 Site. Conduct field survey work to obtain relevant topographic and planimetric survey information of the subject property to verify the existin too y 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 in 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 ComEd for pole relocation_ include: IDOT for work on Route 31 curb returns, FRWRD for manhole adjustments, Public Works for fire hydrant adjustments and 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 fire project site and will consider alignment, geometries, curb cut confi coordination with Metra, traffic guration for commercial property, and stormwater drainage design pedestrian requirements, traffic on adjacent roadways 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.
