Detailed Project Approach The project limits extend from State Street west to the Y-intersection of Larkin Avenue. The current cross-section consists of 4-lanes. These lanes are very narrow. The PROJECT will determine if a 3-lane configuration with a dedicated center turn lane is more realistic, and if incorporating a dedicated bike lane is viable. There are safety concerns at the intersection of Highland Avenue and Larkin Avenue. Modifications to this intersection will be made to address these safety concerns. The PROJECT will also address excessive cross slope of the existing roadway and ensure that all handicap ramps meet existing ADA requirements. 1. Preliminary Engineering Study 1.1 Project Initiation Meeting with City Staff - This initial task will consist of a meeting of key RHMG team members and City staff to discuss project requirements, design criteria, and milestone dates for submittals and review meetings. 1.2. Field Investigation - This phase will involve the following: • Evaluation of the existing roadway pavement to assess failures and defects. • Perform corings to identify the existing pavement cross sections and base materials/conditions. RHMG will subcontract with Soil and Material Consultants, Inc. for this work. • Documentation of existing trees within the right-of-way and identification of trees that are in conflict with existing curbs or sidewalks. • Documentation of existing signage and pavement markings. 1.3. Data Collection - This task will involve the collection and review of all existing data pertinent to the project including: • Existing IDOT plans • Right-of-way maps • Utility location maps A-1 • Traffic accident reports for the vicinity of the Highland Avenue and Larkin Avenue Intersection • The City of Elgin's Bikeway Master Plan 1.4. Roadway Assessment/Preliminary Design - This task will determine the appropriate means for rehabilitation, determine the proposed cross-section and address the intersection improvements at Highland Avenue and Larkin Avenue. A short report/letter will be prepared discussing the findings of the field investigation and data collected. Drawings will also be included showing the proposed roadway cross-sections and the various options available to improve the intersection at Highland and Larkin. 1.5. Prepare Preliminary Cost Estimates - Based on the findings from the assessment of the existing pavement/preliminary design, preliminary cost estimates will be prepared for the particular rehabilitation needs of each particular street. The estimates will include options for using asphalt vs. concrete as part of the rehabilitation. 1.6. Meet with City Staff - The findings and cost estimates will be reviewed with City staff. Comments from the City will be incorporated into the final design. 1.7. Resident Open House Meeting - Once the final project scope is agreed upon by City Staff, a resident open house meeting will be held. The purpose of the meeting will be to inform residents and businesses about the project scope and schedule. RHMG will acquire addresses and send out notices for the meeting. 2. Final Design Phase 2.1. Prepare Contract Documents and Specifications - It is assumed that only the intersection of Highland Avenue and Larkin Avenue will be completely reconstructed and reconfigured with respect to geometrics. The remaining length of Highland Avenue will maintain the same centerline alignment and profile, but will be reconstructed with respect to all new pavement, curb and gutter, driveway approaches, and the majority of the sidewalks. Depending on the findings of the pavement cores, the base may also need to be replaced for portions of the project corridor. RHMG will prepare contract documents, bidding documents, and specifications for the proposed project, utilizing the format typically prepared by in-house City staff. RHMG noted that this format is very similar to the format required by IDOT for Motor Fuel Tax projects. Required construction schedules will be identified. The construction contract will be set up on a unit price basis. All required bid items will be identified and their associated quantities estimated. Any A-2 exhibits, construction details and drawings will be no larger than 11-inch x 17-inch. A pavement striping plan will be prepared for the entire length of the PROJECT. Traffic control plans and/or detour plans will also be prepared. If it is determined that the reconstruction of Highland Avenue and Larkin Avenue is required, a drawing set in 24 x 36-inch format will be prepared for the work in the vicinity of the intersection. 2.2. Quantities and Final Cost Estimate - A detailed takeoff will be prepared and incorporated into the bid form. The PROJECT is to be bid assuming asphalt resurfacing, but an alternate bid will be prepared assuming concrete overlay of the existing roadway surface. Using these quantities, detailed construction and project cost estimates will be prepared. The construction cost estimate will be prepared in bid tabulation format. 2.3. Meet with City Staff - Review sets of the pre-final (90% complete) bid documents will be submitted to the City. A meeting will then be held to discuss the bid documents and the City staffs comments. 2.4. Independent In-House Review - As a final quality control measure, a final in-house review of the complete design will be performed. The final review will address such issues as coordination between plans and specifications, coordination between drawings, missing details, constructability, and potential for construction claims. 2.5. Prepare Final Contract Documents - Review comments from the City of Elgin and the other permitting agencies will be incorporated into the final plans and specifications. As required in the RFQ, 25 sets of drawings and specifications will be delivered to the City for issuance to prospective bidders. 2.6. Coordination and Administration - RHMG will provide the required project coordination and administration. 3. Bidding Phase Services 3.1 Bid Advertisement and Pre-Bid Conference - RHMG will prepare the Advertisement for Bids for solicitation of proposals. If desired by the City, RHMG will conduct one pre-bid conference to review the project in detail with prospective bidder's and highlight the unique features of the project. 3.2 Bidder Inquiries and Addenda - RHMG will field inquiries from prospective bidders and prepare addenda where required to make any necessary clarifications to the contract plans and specifications. Any addenda will be issued by the City. RHMG A-3 will coordinate with the City Purchasing Department to ensure that all plan holders receive the addenda. 3.3 Bid Evaluation and Award - RHMG will attend the bid opening for the project. RHMG will review the bids, prepare a bid tabulation, and make a recommendation for bid award to the City of Elgin. RHMG will assist the City with the preparation of six (6) copies of the final conformed contract documents and will coordinate their execution and delivery by the successful bidder and the City as stipulated in the RFP.
