Improvements will include upgrades to the traffic signals at McLean Blvd and Big Timber Road,
including the possible addition of traffic signal control to McLean Blvd and Timber Drive. The two
intersections will be operated by one signal controller, which will maintain its integration with the
existing railroad warning devices. Modifications to the traffic signal — railroad interconnect will be
determined via coordination between the City, Metra, the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) and the
Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC). The base proposal assumes that an ICC hearing will not be
required.
Proposed Scope of Services
HLR will complete the following tasks to obtain the required IDOT approvals needed for these
federally-funded safety improvements. We will coordinate our work with the City as is timely to
provide opportunities for discussions, reviews and approvals.
Project Initiation and Data Collection
• Prepare minutes of the Elgin / IDOT Phase I engineering kick-off meeting held at the Elgin
Public Works office on May 6.
• Order JULIE locates for utilities within the limits of the project.
• Obtain and review existing / as-built plans available from the City.
• Check existing right-of-way and easements using tax maps, on-line databases and subdivision
plats available from the City's records.
• Conduct a field inspection of the project site to observe existing traffic operations and view
locations of visible utilities and other features that must be accounted for in the proposed
design.
• Coordinate with Metra, the UPRR and ICC to determine their requirements for the extent of
improvements needed for the railroad crossing warning devices and for their preliminary
review of signal sequence-of-operation alternatives.
• Conduct a topographic survey sufficient to prepare traffic signal plans. The survey will include
pavement centerlines and edges, curb lines, pavement markings, traffic signal and railroad
signal equipment, signs, visible utilities, visible right-of-way monumentation and features
outside the r.o.w. that may affect the placement of signal equipment. Import the survey data
and prepare CADD files for plan sheets.
Proposed Scope of Services (continued) Page 2 of 3
• Coordinate with our geotechnical subconsultant, Rubino Engineering, to obtain soil borings
and a geotechnical report. We will review the findings to select proposed traffic signal mast
arm foundation designs.
O Collect soil samples during the soil borings operation and deliver them to Prairie Analytical
Systems for lab analyses. This will provide soil characterization sampling for Illinois EPA
LPC#663 for disposal of excess excavated soils. Due to the railroad and gas stations adjoining_
the intersections, it is assumed that contamination will be found.
Phase I (Preliminary) Engineering
• Prepare an analysis of signal phasing to operate the McLean Blvd / Big Timber Road signalized
intersection. A future Timber Drive signal evaluation will be considered.
• Prepare a project location map, existing and proposed typical cross sections and an aerial
photo exhibit as required for the IDOT Phase I submittal package.
• Conduct the Special Waste screening, including the environmental database search and
prepare a memorandum of our findings for the City's review and use.
6 Conduct further coordination with Metra, the UPRR and ICC for review of preliminary
engineering.
• Prepare IDOT's BLR 19100 Categorical Exclusion Group I approval form, assemble the Phase I
submittal package and submit to IDOT for District 1 approval.
Phase II (Design) Engineerina
O Design and prepare plans for temporary and permanent traffic signals including pavement
markings, pay items, quantities, cost estimates, specifications and special provisions. Prepare
the traffic signal sequence of operation, railroad preemption sequence of operation and
Emergency Vehicle Preemption (EVP) sequence of operation in a chart format.
9 Prepare the traffic signal / railroad signal interconnect plan. Prepare required details for any
modifications required by Metra, the UPRR or iCC for the integration of the traffic signals with
the railroad warning devices.
• Prepare the plan cover sheet, general notes, summary of quantities and schedules.
• Conduct further coordination with Metre, the UPRR and ICC for plan reviews.
o Assist City staff with the preparation and updates of the IDOT-Local Agency Agreement and
the Project Program Information forms.
Proposed Scope of Services (continued) Page 3 of 3
Optional Services Available Upon Request
Although not included in the base scope of services, HLR will provide the following optional services
upon the City's request.
If a traffic signal or right-in-right-out at Timber Drive is desired the following will be needed:
cObtain peak period turning-movement traffic counts at McLean Blvd / Big Timber Road
and McLean Blvd / Timber Drive, classified by vehicle type, bicycles and pedestrians.
This will include tracing counts of vehicle movements that cross the railroad tracks and
enter or exit Timber Drive. This information may be desired if the ICC or railroad
recommends restricting Timber Drive to right turns only as a safety measure. The data
will demonstrate that most large truck traffic enters Timber Drive from the McLean
Blvd north approach.
Analyze traffic flow through the intersection based on future traffic projections using
the Highway Capacity Software (HCS)
Prepare an Intersection Design Study (IDS) and submit to IDOT for approval
Prepare for and represent the City at an ICC hearing, if required for the modification to the
railroad warning system and/or modifications to the traffic signal plan and sequences of
operation. These hearings are typically held in Chicago.
