RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council approve an agreement with Hitchcock Design Group for the not-to-exceed lump sum amount of$35,800 for completion of a revision to the Gail Borden Library master plan and of a schematic design of the Veterans Memorial. BACKGROUND In 2007, the Hitchcock Design Group, at the direction of the Gail Borden Library, completed a master plan for library riverfront to establish Outdoor Learning Gardens and shoreline enhancements. Concurrently and independently, the Veterans Memorial Committee was working to complete the design of the Veterans Memorial to be constructed at another site. The City of Elgin, Gail Borden Library and Veterans Memorial Committee have agreed that the planned memorial will be constructed along the riverfront adjacent to the Gail Borden Library. The schematic design for the Veterans Memorial will be completed first at a cost of $21,500. Because of the new location, the completed library master plan will need to be revised to provide for the addition of the Veterans Memorial at a cost of $14,300. This additional work will be completed after the Veterans Memorial Schematic is finalized. The attached agreement lays out the work items needed to accomplish the schematic design. It is planned that the schematic design services will be completed in March of 2008. Upon completion of the schematic design, an appropriate construction strategy can be developed. Construction completion and dedication of the Veterans Memorial is anticipated for November Agreement with Hitchcock Design Group for the Veterans Memorial January 18, 2008 Page 2 11, 2008.

"# City of Elgin Date: July 17, 2007 To: Honorable Members of the Veteran's Memorial Committee From: William A. Cogley, Corporation Counsel Sean R. Stegall, Assistant City Manager Jerry Deering, Community Development Group Director Subject: Veteran's Memorial Project Introduction The purpose of this memorandum is to provide additional information to the members of the Veteran's Memorial Committee (`the committee') concerning several issues related to the Veteran's Memorial Project (`the memorial'). The memorial is slated for construction at the former public work site. Background dek For the past two years the committee was been working diligently on the memorial and has made significant progress in the areas of fundraising and project design. During this period, City Staff has also been engaged in the demolition of the former public works and salvage properties, environmental remediation of the site and conducted a preliminary analysis of the potential redevelopment of the larger area. As the committee prepared to solicit construction proposals for the memorial, additional information concerning scheduling issues including soil contamination has arisen which will alter the schedule for the project. Environmental & Site Configuration Concerns On June 28, 2007 the City received from its environmental consultant Terracon, Inc. the property investigation report for the former public works site. Portions of this report including a map identifying areas of contamination are attached. The report indicates that areas of elevated soil contamination must be addressed prior to development of the site. The City is seeking to clean-up this and other adjacent city-owned properties through a state program known as the Illinois Site Remediation Program. The Illinois Site Remediation Program will result in a no further remediation letter issued by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. The Site Remediation Program process involves the City investigating a property, submitting reports to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, physical clean-up of the property and subsequent reporting to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. The ry► City currently expects to complete the physical clean-up of the property in 2008 with the final sign-off from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency on this property to occur at the end r of 2008. The City has also previously retained a land planning consultant Land Vision to prepare a development plan for the former public works site and the other adjacent city-owned properties to the north. The city intends to proceed with further land planning activities for the eventual development of this property. The city intends to conduct these land planning activities concurrently with the environmental remediation of the public works and other adjacent properties and hopes to complete these land activities with the selection of a developer in 2008 with construction to begin in the spring of 2009. The proposed dimensions of the memorial (100x100) are in need of further review as it relates to its setting within the larger riverfront park development. According to the city's land planning consultant (Land Vision) the memorial would be prominent if it was located slightly further to north at the terminus of Cherry Street. By placing the memorial at this location, the memorial would be a prominent feature of the landscape for those traveling west into the neighborhood and park. For this reason and for the purposes of creating a pedestrian friendly park that will host the memorial, a more linear design (e.g. 50 feet x150 feet) may be necessary. This issue would not delay project and should not dramatically alter the previously approved design. Veteran's Memorial Project Construction Schedule Due to the environmental remediation issues and other issues described above, the following is a suggested revised schedule for the Veteran's Memorial Project: Selection of Design Build June, 2008 Construction Firm Ceremonial November, 2008 Groundbreaking for the Memorial City Council awarding of Spring, 2009 construction bids Memorial Ribbon-Cutting November, 2009 Alternative Option If the committee finds the revised schedule to be unacceptable the City Council remains open to recommendation from the Veteran's Memorial Committee that would relocate the project to a to- be-determined alternative location. While the Council remains committed to the present site, they also appreciate the strong desire by the committee to see the project begin as quickly as possible. There are several sites in the community where immediate construction is possible. Summary In conclusion, the staff and City Council are fully committed to the project and appreciate your understanding as it relates to the unavoidable environmental issues and other scheduling issues at the present site. The staff will continue with its effort to remediate the site as quickly as possible. If the committee would like to entertain the possibility of relocating the project—that recommendation should be brought forward by the committee. Thank you.

This Comprehensive Site Investigation Report (CSIR) summarizes the investigation procedures and the laboratory analytical results of the samples collected during the subsurface investigation conducted at the above referenced site. Also included is the Remediation Objectives Report (ROR) which establishes the remediation objectives (ROs) to be applied to the Site. This combination report has been completed in an effort to move the site toward a No Further Remediation letter under the Illinois Site Remediation Program (SRP). Based upon Terracon's field observations and the laboratory analytical data, elevated concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), polynuclear aromatics (PNAs), and inorganics were encountered in soil at the site above one or more of the Tier 1 Soil Remediation Objectives (SROs). Groundwater analytical results indicate minimal c roundwater impact at the site. Two metal constituents were found at concentrations slightly exceeding the Class I Groundwater Remediation Objectives (GROs). If you should have any questions regarding this report or project, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned at 630-717-4263. Sincerely, TES ON /44�,�,�Aar' Marcia R. Sivek hn M.
