1.0 Project Understanding
1.1 General Understanding
CITY has requested that ENGINEER prepare engineering plans and specifications for either
the repair or replacement of the culvert carrying Laurel Street over the Lord's Park Tributary.
The roadway has recently experienced significant settlement directly over the existing CMP
culvert leading to its failure and closure of traffic. The CITY has filled in the recent roadway
depression with gravel but is concerned about the remaining useful life of the culvert and
would like to schedule emergency repair and/or replacement. City will utilize general funds
and no other state or federal funding will be involved with this project.
Lord's Park Tributary is a mapped floodplain with designated floodway and is considered
Waters of the US. As such, any work within the stream will require permitting from Illinois
Department of Natural Resources, Office of Water Resources (IDNR-OWR) and Army
Corps of Engineers (ACOE).
ENGINEER will visit the site to complete an inspection of the culvert to determine feasible
recommendations for repair or replacement of the existing culvert. ENGINEER will
document its field observations and recommendation in an email for the CITY'S review.
Based on initial site review during scoping, it is likely that replacement of the culvert will be
a more realistic option given the shape of the culvert, location of the failure, and cost of
repair over lining and the life cycle costs. The scope and fee for this proposal is prepared
such that it will cover the design and permitting needs for a complete replacement option.
If repair option is feasible and preferred by the CITY, the scope of work and fee will be
reduced, and a reduced estimate of scope and fee will be provided to the CITY prior to
proceeding with preparing plans and specifications for the repairs.
The scope of work will include preliminary site investigations, topographic survey and
wetland delineation, preliminary and final design, utility coordination and permitting, bid
award and assistance and part-time construction assistance. It is assumed that all work
will be performed in the City right-of-way (ROW) and that no temporary or permanent
easements will be required.
1.2 Desiqn Criteria/Assumptions
A. The design criteria for the culvert size shall be based on matching or exceeding the
existing culvert opening size, unless hydraulic analysis indicates that a reduction in
opening size(if repair option such as culvert lining is chosen)is feasible without creating
more than 0.1 ft. increase in upstream water elevation for a 30-year design flood event.
B. The project shall be designed in accordance with applicable Bridge and Culvert design
standards per the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and permitting
requirements. In addition, temporary cofferdam for dewatering during construction will
not be permitted to block water elevations higher than a 2-year flood level, and plans
and specifications will contain dewatering criteria in conformance with local Soil and
Water Conservation District practices and ACOE criteria employed on similar projects
in the region.

C. If minimum allowable soil bearing criteria are relevant, ENGINEER design plans will list
the assumed capacities to be field verified at time of construction. No separate
geotechnical services are included under this scope of services.
2.0 Scope of Services
The CITY agrees to employ ENGINEER to perform the following services:
2.1 Preliminary Site Investigations
Preliminary Site investigations will include the following tasks necessary to complete an
email summary with ENGINEER's recommendations for repair or replacement of the
subject culvert.
A. Structural: ENGINEER structural staff will complete a site visit to collect site photos and
measurements of the existing culvert and to document existing culvert condition and
level of deterioration.
B. Email Correspondence: The ENGINEER will provide the CITY with a brief summary by
email summarizing the preferred alternative for repair or replacement option. A
conceptual level Engineer's Opinion of Probable Construction Cost (EOPCC) will be
prepared.
2.2 Preliminary and Final Desiqn
The following scope of services is anticipated for a replacement option.
A. Survey: ENGINEER will perform investigations to ascertain existing right-of-way limits
through office research and field survey. This will be used to verify existing right-of-way
limits that proposed improvements must observe, and to identify any easements that
may be needed for completion of the improvements. Field survey will be completed to
obtain topographic information for the hydraulic analysis and layout of the proposed
culvert replacement. It is assumed that all work will be performed in the City ROW.
B. Contract Plans and Specifications: ENGINEER will prepare Contract Plans and
Specifications (Engineering Drawings and Technical Specifications/Special Provisions)
for the proposed culvert improvements, including end sections(if applicable). The IDOT
Culvert Manual'and the most recent version of the IDOT Standard Specifications for
Road and Bridge Construction will be generally followed for the design and construction
documents. However, the ENGINEER will not include the estimate of time and other
documents IDOT would require if this project were to be let through the State of Illinois.
The ENGINEER also will not include time to submit the plans to IDOT, or any other
review agency other than the CITY, applicable utility companies, IDNR/OWR, ACOE
and North Cook County Soil and Water Conservation District.
ENGINEER assumes that culvert end sections will be either precast concrete, or
prefabricated metal end sections depending on the type of culvert improvements. The
Structural plans will include a general plan and elevation and end section details, but
may omit specific invert, grade and roadway elevations if notes such as"match existing"
are deemed appropriate.

If deemed appropriate form site visit observations, riprap stabilization will be noted on
the plans and will be sized as Class A4 or A5 riprap. There was observed bank erosion
on the north side of the culvert in the immediate vicinity upstream. ENGINEER will
consult with the CITY if limited bank stabilization is required.
Current design assumptions are that Laurel Road will be closed during construction with
local detour signs and routes the responsibility of the CITY. Any tree clearing, removal
necessary for the proposed culvert improvements will be done with no tree-survey, or
tree replacement requirements.
Engineering Drawings will consist of:
• Cover Sheet
• General Notes
• Summary of Quantities & Typical Sections.
• Laurel Street Plan and Profile Sheet.
• End Section Details
• Erosion Control Plan
• Details
A project manual including general instruction to contractor, bid form and Technical
Specifications/Special Provisions will be provided to the CITY for the purposes of
obtaining construction quotes from up to three (3) contractors of their choosing. No
public bid assistance by ENGINEER is included in the scope. Frond end documents
suitable for bidding purposes is therefore not included in the contract. Bid award and
assistance services are not included other than answering questions from contractors
during the quote solicitations by CITY.
Deliverables: The following deliverables will be provided to the CITY:
• Preliminary and Pre-Final Project Documents:
➢ PDF copy of the Plans for review by the CITY.
➢ PDF copy of the Engineer's Opinion of Probable Construction Costs (EOPCC)
➢ PDF copy of the Technical Specifications/Special Provisions
• Final Project Documents
➢ PDF copy of the Final Engineering Plans for use by the CITY.
➢ PDF copy of the Engineer's Opinion of Probable Construction Costs (EOPCC)
➢ PDF copy of the Project Manual
2.3 Permitting
Lord's Park Tributary is a mapped floodplain with designated floodway and is considered
Waters of the US. As such, any work within the stream will require permitting from Illinois
Department of Natural Resources, Office of Water Resources(IDNR-OWR)and Army Corps
of Engineers(ACOE)and the North Cook County Soil and Water Conservation District. The
following scope of services is anticipated for a replacement option.
A. Hydraulic Modeling: ENGINEER staff will request and obtain a copy of the regulatory
FEMA model for the hydraulic analysis and permitting. An allowance for fee

(approximately $350.00) is budgeted in the contract under Permit Fees. The
Illinois State Water Survey (ISWS) also prepared a model of the Poplar Creek and its
Tributary which includes the culvert under Laurel Street. ENGINEER will also request
a model from ISWS for comparison to the FEMA model and for use as best available
information. The models will be compared to the field survey. Using aerial mapping, it
will be determined if the culvert is a source of flood damage in accordance with the
IDNR-OWR Part 3708 rules. ENGINEER will complete a natural conditions, existing
conditions and a proposed condition hydraulic analysis of the existing crossing to
ascertain adequate culvert sizing for replacement options. The hydraulic analysis will .
utilize FIS flows and verified by using StreamStats for sizing of the culvert crossing.
B. Threatened and Endangered Species and Cultural Resource Consultation:
ENGINEER will complete the natural resource review using the Ecological Compliance
Assessment Tool (ECOCAT) through the IDNR web portal. The ECOCAT will
determine presence of threatened or endangered species under the Illinois
Endangered Species Protection Act [520 ILCS 10/11(b)] and Illinois Natural Areas
Preservation Act [525 ILCS 30/17] as set forth in procedures under Title 17 III. Admin.
Code Part 1075. An allowance for fee (approximately$127.00) is budgeted in the
contract under Permit Fees.
C. IDNR-OWR Permitting: ENGINEER will prepare a permit application in accordance
with the IDNR-OWR Part 3708 rules for work in the floodway. An expedited permit
review request will be made from the IDNR-OWR. An allowance for review fee
(approximately$3,290.00) is budgeted in the contract under Permit Fees.
D. Wetland Delineation and Permitting: Lord's Park Tributary is a Waters of the US and
will require permitting from ACOE and Soil and Water Conservation District. A wetland
delineation of the project area will be completed by Applied Ecological Services, Inc.
as a sub-consultant to the ENGINEER. An allowance for sub-consultant fee for
wetland delineation and report (approximately $3,500.00) is budgeted in the
