as "CITY") and Trotter and Associates, Inc., an Illinois corporation (hereinafter referred to as
"ENGINEER").
WHEREAS, the CITY desires to engage the ENGINEER to furnish certain professional
services in connection with the Lord Street CSO Basin Green Infrastructure Retrofit Project
(hereinafter referred to as the"PROJECT"); and
WHEREAS,the ENGINEER represents that it is in compliance with Illinois Statutes relating
to professional registration of individuals and has the necessary expertise and experience to furnish
such services upon the terms and conditions set forth herein below.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants
contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged,it is hereby agreed by and between the CITY and the ENGINEER that the CITY does
hereby retain the ENGINEER to act for and represent it in all engineering matters involved in the
PROJECT, subject to the following terms and conditions and stipulations, to-wit:
1. SCOPE OF SERVICES
A. All work hereunder shall be performed under the direction of the Director of the
Water Department of the CITY, herein after referred to as the"DIRECTOR."
B. The PROJECT relates to the installation of green infrastructure features within the
Lord Street CSO Basin area pursuant to a grant to the CITY from the Illinois
Environmental Protection Agency through the Illinois Green Infrastructure Grant
program. The green infrastructure features will consist of stormwater best
management practices (stormwater BMPs) designed to intercept and infiltrate
stormwater runoff before it enters the combined sewers, which service the project
area. The BMPs will be sited along public rights-of-way in areas where combined
sewer separation is not planned for at least 10 to 15 years. The stormwater BMPs to
be designed and installed shall be either permeable pavers, bioretention basins, or
structural water quality devices (such as those manufactured by Filterra, Inc.). The
ENGINEER shall provide planning,design and construction engineering services for
the PROJECT.
C. A detailed Scope of Services, entitled"Scope of Services- Lord Street CSO Basin
Green Infrastructure Retrofit Project," is attached hereto as Exhibit A and
incorporated herein by this reference.
2. SCHEDULE AND PROGRESS REPORTS
A. An outline project milestone schedule is as follows:
The project is scheduled to begin upon approval and execution of this Agreement.
The project is divided into two phases. Phase I will begin immediately with neighbor
meetings to solicit adjacent landowner buy-in and conclude by June 30,2012 with the
design, permitting and construction of between four and eight BMP basins or
- 1 -
structural devices. Preliminary design of at least one of the two permeable alleyways
will be completed during this phase as well. Phase II will commence in Spring 2012
once construction of Phase I has begun. Phase II will include the additional
neighborhood outreach meetings to secure support for the remaining BMP sites (a
total of at least 34 BMP sites and 2 alleys will be completed between both phases).
Phase II will also include final design and permitting, which will be completed no
later than July 2013,and all construction of remaining green infrastructure features
shall be finished by August 1,2014. Final documents to the IEPA for grant reporting
shall be submitted to the IEPA prior to October 1, 2014.

THE CITY IN THE SUBURBS"
AGENDA ITEM: F
MEETING DATE: December 7, 2011
ITEM:
Agreement with Trotter and Associates for Engineering Services related to the Lords Street Ba-
sin Retrofit Project
($131,500)
OBJECTIVE:
Design and oversee construction of three types of stormwater best management practices in
the Southwest Area Neighborhood using grant funds.
RECOMMENDATION:
Enter into an agreement with Trotter and Associates for engineering services in the amount of
$131,500.
BACKGROUND
At its December 15, 2010 meeting, city council approved a resolution authorizing staff to apply
for funds through the Illinois Green Infrastructure Grant (IGIG) program administered by the
Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA). The city then entered into a financial assistance
agreement with the IEPA at the Sept. 28 council meeting which formalized the city's commit-
ment to complete the project.
The funded project consists of installing stormwater best management practices (BMP's) in the
Southwest Area Neighborhood (SWAN). The total project cost is $751,900 and divided as fol-
lows: $117,900 (city share) and $634,000 (state share). Sufficient funds to cover this match
have been identified in the Combined Sewer Separation project funds.
OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS
Trotter and Associates developed the initial grant application under the firm's existing grant
writing agreement. Under the agreement dated July 14, 2010, as compensation for their suc-
cessful grant writing services, the city agrees to select the firm to complete planning, design
and construction engineering services.
rik Trotter and Associates has submitted a draft contract for the above services. The agreement is
attached and proposes to complete the work for $131,500. This amount is consistent with the
1
amount found within the grant application for design/engineering, permitting and construction
oversight services. 44)
The proposed scope of engineering services provides for a number of activities that will ensure
the success of this project as well as its thorough documentation.
Scope Highlights
Prepare and give eight neighborhood To help interested property owners understand the project,
presentations in the SWAN its benefits and any required maintenance
Conduct pre-and post-project data com-
bined sewer flow monitoring in sewers Allows the city to measure the effectiveness of the green
adjacent to proposed BMP sites infrastructure installations related to runoff reduction
Prepare pollutant load/ runoff reduction Allows the city to measure the effectiveness of the green
analysis infrastructure installations related to water quality
Collect and interpret soil boring and infil-
tration testing
nf il-
trationtesting information to.be To ensure installations are done in appropriate locations
utilized in the design of the BMPs.
Project Timeline
Phase I—Neighborhood Meetings December 2011—June Solicit property owner buy-in for
30, 2012 installation sites
Phase I -Pilot Installations Spring 2012—June 30, Install 4 to 8 bio-retention basins
201.2 as pilots to "work out kinks"
Phase II— Neighborhood Meetings Winter 2011—Spring To secure additional support for
2012 remaining BMP installations
Phase II—Remaining Installations Summer 2012—Fall Construction of remaining BMP's
2014 (total of 24 to 36 bio-retention
basins and two permeable paver
alleyways
What will the bio-retention basins look like?
While project timelines are important, what may be more important is the aesthetic impact the
stormwater best management practices will have on the neighborhood. The nearby community
of Madison, Wisconsin is a regional leader in the installation of bio-retention basins in residen-
tial neighborhoods and in many ways Elgin's project is modeled after their Terrace (parkway)
Rain Garden Program. A recent site visit to Madison yielded important installation information
as well as the opportunity to view completed and under-construction basins.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The total cost of this project is $751,900, inclusive of this agreement with Trotter and Asso-
ciates for engineering services in the amount of $131,500. The city's share of the project is six-
teen percent or $117,900. The IGIG is a reimbursement grant. As such, the city is required to
pay all design and construction costs upfront and submit for reimbursement from the IEPA. The
grant terms allow for monthly reimbursements of incurred expenditures. Payments to Trotter

Lord Street CSO Basin area pursuant to a grant to the CITY from the Illinois
Environmental Protection Agency through the Illinois Green Infrastructure Grant
program. The green infrastructure features will consist of stormwater best
management practices (stormwater BMPs) designed to intercept and infiltrate
stormwater runoff before it enters the combined sewers, which service the project
area. The BMPs will be sited along public rights-of-way in areas where combined
sewer separation is not planned for at least 10 to 15 years. The stormwater BMPs to
