BIG TIMBER/TYLER CREEK INTERCEPTOR
CHANGE ORDER NO. 4
SCOPE: This Change Order No. 4 covers additional changes in the scope
of work at the Big Timber/Tyler Creek Interceptor that was not
reasonably foreseeable at the time the contract was signed and are in
the best interest of the City. The items covered in this change order
are for 1) sanitary sewer manhole and 2) additional cost for sanitary
sewer tunneling.
This contract for construction is with Szabo Contracting, Elmhurst,
Illinois.
REASONS FOR CHANGE:
Item 1.
The project was originally designed and bid with the installation of the
36-inch diameter sewer located in a straight east-west alignment from
MH#16 to MH#26. After the project was bid, the route had to be changed
to accommodate location conditions dictated by the owner of the Valley
Creek property. The new route, agreed to in the signed easement,
parallels the north bank of Tyler Creek from MH#16 to MH#24 (Lyle Avenue
to Randall Road) . The numerous changes of direction with the new route
resulted in the addition of a manhole in a depth range which were not
contemplated in the original bid. The alignment change is in the best
interest of the City in order to allow the Safety Kleen Corporation to
connect their new facility in an expedient manner. This will result in
a net addition to the contract.
Item 2.
The project was originally designed and bid with the installation of the
36-inch diameter sewer installed by bore and jack method with a 48-inch
diameter casing beneath the C&NW and Metra RR tracks at the Big Timber
Commuter Station on Lyle Avenue. After the project was bid, an
exploratory excavation on the south side of the tracks revealed wet sand
with 4-8 inch diameter cobble stone in the direct path of the bore and
jack. These soil conditions would prevent the casing pipe from
remaining at the proper elevation. The soil conditions encountered were
not discernible from the contract documents or site inspection. It was
decided that in order to ensure the pipe could be installed at the
correct elevation, a larger diameter casing was needed. Due to the
presence of the 4-8 inch diameter cobble stone, the City of Elgin
decided it would be in their best interest to install the 60-inch casing
with the tunneling method instead of bore and jack with the 48-inch
diameter casing. The tunneling method with the 60-inch diameter casing
will also allow the Safety Kleen Corporation to connect their new
facility in a timely manner. This will result in a net addition to the
contract.

Dear Marty:
Enclosed please find correspondence from the boring contractor
L.J. Keefe Co. , Inc. regarding the proposed bore under the metra
tracks.
He is requesting an additional $50.00 per LF to do this crossing
with a 60" tunnel boring machine. In view of the extremely
adverse soil conditions I respectfully request that his
recommendation is accepted.
Please review the enclosed and should you need any additional
information please do not hesitate to contact me.

Re: METRA Crossing
Big Timber/Tyler Creek interceptor
City of Elgin, Illinois
Dear Frank:
Since the soil conditions for the subject crossing are similar to
the "Big Timber Road Crossing", (i.e. wet sand and cobbles on
top of a clay lens) , conventional auger boring will not be
possible. We recommend using a 60" Tunnel Boring Machine (THM)
to construct the tunnel. However, the water table must be 1 foot
below the invert of the casing in order to avoid the loss of
overburden.
The advantages of using the TEM include:
1. Its partially closed face can limit the inflow of
wet flowing sands.
2. it is much faster than hand mining.
3. It can control line and grade much more easily
than auger boring.
We are willing to construct the tunnel using a TEM for $50 more
per foot than our hand mine rate.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: City Manager
SUBJECT: Big Timber/Tyler Creek Interceptor Sewer
Change Order No. 4
PURPOSE: This memorandum will provide the Mayor and Council
with information to consider the subject Change Order No. 4 to
the contract with Szabo Contracting, Inc.
BACKGROUND: The work on the crossing of the Metra and Chicago &
NorthWestern Railroad tracks was stopped based on the soils
materials encountered on the south side of the right-of-way and
between the tracks. The material encountered in the area of the
tracks includes 6" to 12" diameter cobbles that make the
traditional jack and auger planned for this area not possible.
The contractor has requested that he be allowed to use a 60"
casing and a mining machine. This method will take less time
and will enable the contractor to cut through the rock
referenced above.
In addition to the above, the realignment of the sewer through
the Valley Creek property made it necessary to add a manhole at
a depth not contemplated in the original bid. A price was
obtained from the contractor and it is in line with the prices
of manholes of similar depths.
Change Order #4 and copies of correspondence from the contractor
are attached for your consideration.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The additional cost for the machine mining
and new manhole will increase the cost of the contract by
$78,650. The current cost of the contract is $1,923,298.85. The
proposed new cost would be $2,001,948.85.
