1.0 Project Understanding
1.1 General Understanding
HR Green, Inc. (CONSULTANT) is being retained by the City of Elgin. Illinois (CITY) to
provide professional engineering services to prepare contract plans and specifications for
drainage improvements to the City Hall parking within the City of Elgin. CONSULTANT
prepared a grant application in October 2023 requesting funds through the Illinois
Environmental Protection Agency's (IEPA) Green Infrastructure Grant Opportunity (GIGO)
program. The project was awarded $534,338.00 through the GIGO program. This
amount represented 75% of the total eligible cost in 2023 dollars. Certain items, including
HMA resurfacing, were not grant eligible and therefore not accounted for in the requested
grant amount. The project location is pictured in Figure 1 below.

1.2 Design Criteria/Assumptions
The following assumptions have been made in preparing this scope:
• The proposed improvements are funded utilizing the CITY's general funds and the
GIGO funds from the IEPA. No other grants are being utilized.
• The proposed improvements will outlet to the CITY's storm sewer system. The project
will not result in increases in flow and therefore no detailed modeling of the downstream
system will be required.
• CONSULTANT will submit a JULIE design ticket to obtain maps from applicable
franchise utilities. The design ticket will be used to reach out to existing utility
companies.
• CONSULTANT reviewed the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) and found that no
FEMA flood study exists for the project location. Therefore, floodplain permitting is not
included in the scope of the project.
• The work will be located in an existing right-of-way(ROW)and on CITY owned property.
• The parking lot will not be fully reconstructed. The existing reverse crown will remain
in place with minor modifications to direct runoff into the stormwater BMPs.
• The contract plans and specifications and construction pay items will generally be those
meeting the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) Standard Specifications for
Road and Bridge Construction in Illinois (SSRBC). CITY and Illinois Urban Manual
(IUM) details will be used where applicable.
• It is assumed that no temporary easements, permanent easements and/or property
acquisitions needed for this project prior to bidding.
2.0 Scope of Services
The scope of work for professional engineering services includes the following tasks and is
further detailed below:
• Project Administration and Meetings
• Topographic Survey
• Environmental Services
• Contract Plans and Specifications

2.2.b Base Map: A survey base drawing will be generated of the existing features collected
within the limits described above, and TIN including approximate one-foot contours, according to
IDOT standards. The base map will be completed in AutoCAD CiviI3D release 2023 for use in

(ASTM D 1586) or thin-walled tube samples on cohesive soils (ASTM D 1587) at 2 1/2 - foot
intervals to a depth of 10 feet. If unsuitable bearing soils are encountered within the borings will
be extended an additional 5 feet to attempt to end the borings in suitable soils. If unsuitable
soils persist at the end of an additional 5 feet the CITY will be contacted prior to demobilizing.
Unsuitable soils will be defined by field personnel using the following criteria:
• Cohesive soils with an N value less than or equal to 6.
• Granular soils with an N-value less than 10.
• Black cohesive or silty soil with visible signs of organic matter and /or organic odor and
low blow counts as described above.
Upon completion of drilling, the borings will be backfilled with soil cuttings and capped with
similar existing material. Some damage to ground surface may result from the drilling
operations near the work areas and along ingress/egress pathways. SUB-CONSULTANT will
attempt to minimize such damage, but no restoration other than backfilling the soil test borings
is included. It should be noted that over time, some settlement may occur in the bore hole.

The soil samples obtained during the field exploration program will be transported to the
laboratory for classification and a limited number of laboratory tests. The nature and extent of
the laboratory testing program is at the discretion of SUB-CONSULTANT and will depend upon
the subsurface conditions encountered during drilling.
The following soil borings and pavement cores are proposed:
• One soil boring and pavement core at the approximate location of the proposed oil
and grit separator
• Two pavement cores in various locations within the parking lot.
As a result of legislation enacted by the Illinois General Assembly and signed into law on July 30,
2010. by the Governor of Illinois, Public Act 096-1416, regulating disposal of Clean Construction
or Demolition Debris (CCDD), disposal of construction or demolition debris requires a certification
from an Illinois registered Professional Engineer that soils generated during construction activities
are uncontaminated. The proposed geotechnical borings be screened onsite using a Photo
Ionization Detector(PID) for presence of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's). Up to two (2) soil
samples will be submitted to a certified laboratory qualified to test the soil for the Illinois
Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) Site Remediation Program Target Compound List. The
laboratory results will be compared to Part 742, Tier Approach to Corrective Action Objectives
(TACO), Table A. Based on the results of environmental records review and soil sampling. SUB-
CONSULTANT will provide Professional Engineer (P.E.) certification for the soils generated
during construction activities that are appropriate for disposal at a permitted CCDD facility. The
P.E. certification will be provided on Illinois Environmental Protection Agency form LPC-663.
If contaminants are found, then additional testing may be required outside the scope of this
project. Additional testing may include additional borings, supplemental PESA and PSI which are
not included in this scope. Additional soils investigations can be provided for an additional fee.
