Re: Michigan Street Redevelopment Area
Dear Mayor and Aldermen:
In accordance with instructions in a letter from Mary Buchheid, Planner,dated May 17,
1989, we will proceed with professional engineer services in connection with MICHIGAN
STREET REDEVELOPMENT AREA (hereinafter called the "Project"),in conformance
with the Michigan Street Redevelopment Area RFP,prepared by the Elgin Planning
Department, and with our Letter of Proposal dated April 20, 1989. We would expect to
start our services within ten (10) days after receipt of written authorization from you.
You are expected to furnish us with full information as to your requirements including any
special or extraordinary considerations for the Project or special services needed, and also
to make available pertinent existing data.
Our services will consist of preparing a Preliminary Design, as set forth in the printed
General Provisions as amended and supplemented in Exhibit A thereto, both of which are
attached to this letter, and such additional services as you may request.
You will pay us for our services a lump sum fee of$17,345.
We will bill you monthly for services. Payment is to be made within thirty (30) days of
receipt of our invoice. These financial arrangements are based on the orderly and
continuous progress of the Project.
The schedule for the performance of our services are set forth in Exhibit A to the General
Provisions.
It is necessary that you advise us in writing at an early date if you have budgetary
limitations for the overall Project Cost or Construction Cost. We will endeavor to work
within those limitations. If you request we will submit to you periodically during the
design phase of our services our opinions as to the probability of completing construction
within your budget and where appropriate, request an adjustment in the budget or a
revision in the extent or quality of the Project. We do not guarantee that our opinions will
not differ materially from negotiated prices or bids. If you wish greater assurance as to
probable construction costs or if you wish formal estimates, an independent cost estimator
should be employed.
Services are to be rendered in the customary phases which, together with the general
understandings applicable to our relationship with you, are set forth in the General
Provisions and Exhibit A thereto which are attached to and made a part of this proposal.
Your responsibilities are also set forth in the General Provisions.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: City Manager
SUBJECT: Greater Downtown Elgin Commission - Review
of Michigan Street Redevelopment Project
PURPOSE: The purpose of this memo is to provide information on
comments made by the GDEC on the Michigan Street Redevelopment
Project.
BACKGROUND: At its May 4 , 1989 meeting, the Greater Downtown
Elgin Commission was given a presentation by staff from Planning
and Public Works of the conceptual plan for the Michigan Street
Redevelopment Project. As you might recall , the Council reached
a consensus on this plan at a Committee of the Whole meeting on
February 22 , 1989 and directed staff to obtain estimates of
costs for the improvements . The Commission supported the need
for redevelopment in that area and the need to pursue an engi-
neering study. However, the Commission noted that the conceptu-
al plan was larger in scope than was originally presented. In
addition, the Commission expressed concern over the inclusion of
homes along Villa Street for demolition. The Commission could
not recommend support for the conceptual plan presented but
proposed that the engineering study examine the areas which were
addressed by earlier versions of the conceptual plan.
RECOMMENDATION: No recommendation - for informational purposes
only.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: City Manager
SUBJECT: Michigan Street Development
PURPOSE: This memorandum will provide the Mayor and Council
with information to consider an award for preliminary engineer-
ing services associated with the subject development.
BACKGROUND: The City Council considered various options for the
development of the Michigan Street area at the Committee of the
Whole meeting on February 22 , 1989. The Council then directed
the staff to obtain estimates of cost for the improvements. The
Planning Department sent a Request For Proposals (RFP' s) to five
engineering firms and four responded.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The four engineering firms that responded
with their respective fee for services are as follows:
Walker Parking Consultants $24 ,500. 00
Midwest Consulting Engineers 21 ,435 . 00
Hampton, Lenzini & Renwick, Inc. 18, 000. 00
Robert H. Anderson & Assoc. , Inc. 17, 345 . 00
There is in the Community Development Block Grant Program $7 ,500
for this project , plus $200 ,000 budgeted in the 1989 Capital
Improvement Program (385) .
RECOMMENDATION: The Greater Downtown Elgin Commission (GDEC) on
Thursday, May 4 , 1989 , discussed the project and the RFP' s which
were presented by staff and the Commission noted that the plan
presented was larger in scope than what they thought was neces-
sary and expressed a concern about including the properties on
Villa Street in the project. However, it is the recommendation
of the GDEC that the City Council award the work for preliminary
engineering services for the subject improvement to Robert H.
Anderson & Associates , Inc. in the amount of $17 , 345 .00 .
