RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City .Council approve Change Order #1 to allow for remedial structural work on the front fagade along with additional architectural and engineering services in the amount of$12,725.00 for the property at 217-219 National Street. BACKGROUND In October 2003, a Facade Improvement project was approved to restore the front and rear fagade of the property at 217-219 National Street, owned by Mr. Rodney Cavitt. The building is located in the National Street corridor between Raymond Street and Wellington Avenue and was built at the turn of the last century. The property was eligible for funding under the State & National Street Facade Improvement Program which offers property owners a grant of 50% of the cost of exterior fagade improvements up to a maximum of$100,000.00. The scope of work approved in 2003 included restoration of the front and rear fagade of the building, addressing such items as restoring the storefronts to their original configuration, masonry cleaning, tuckpointing, window and door replacement, exterior lighting, and canopy treatments. On the rear of the building a non-original addition to the building was proposed to be removed and the rear stairs and deck reinstated. The building was also proposed to be made accessible through the construction of a new ramp on the front elevation. The total cost of the project amounted to $146,626.70, with the City's participation at 50% amounting to $73,313.35. The City had also obtained the services of Greg Berna of Berna Architects and Design of Elgin to develop the drawings and specifications, along with a cost estimate for the project which would enable the property owners to bid out and obtain the minimum two required bids for the work. As part of the program, architectural services were paid for by the City($13,589.00). Facade—217-219 National Street—Change Order#1 September 17,2004 Page 2 Work is currently under way on the project. However, after removing the non-original front fagade that covered the original structure, it was determined that the masonry structure below grade holding up the fagade was considerably deteriorated and the structural steel columns and beams had failed. The architect, Mr. Greg Bema of Berna Architects and Design has provided a detailed report on the existing condition of the footing and recommended that a complete structural assessment for remediation be provided by a certified structural engineer. The total additional cost for reconstruction of the front fagade is estimated at $19,450.00, requesting an additional City participation at 50% of $9,725.00. The cost of additional architectural and engineering services amounts to $3,000.00, which is fully reimbursed by the Fagade Improvement Program. COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED The property at 217-219 National Street is located within the Elgin National Watch Historic District. The Elgin Heritage Commission's Design Review Subcommittee has reviewed and approved the work proposed to the property, and issued a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA). �.,FINANCIAL IMPACT The proposed change order for the project will be charged to Project No. 079832 and will amount to $12,725.00. The 2004 budget in the State & National Street Fagade Improvement Program funded in account number 275-0000-791.78-99, Other Rehab Loans/Grants, currently shows a balance of$50,000.00. If the change order is approved, the City's total participation will amount to $99,627.35. VyEGAL IMPACT /�The existing agreements between the City of Elgin and property owners at 217-219 National Street, along with the architect, Berna Architects and Design will need to be amended. ALTERNATIVES 1. Approve Change Order #1 to allow for additional structural work on the front fagade along with additional architectural and engineering services in the amount of$12,725.00 for the property at 217-219 National Street. 2. Reject the requested Change Order#1. Respectfully Submitted for Council consideration. e0o' SBS/sr Attachments BERNA ARCHITECTS & DESIGN 221 DuPage Street Elgin,Illinois 60120 (847) 697-0260 RECEIVED PROPOSAL AUG 3 0 1004 Planning Department August 16,2004 CITY OF ELGIN 150 DEXTER COURT Mr. Sarosh Saber ELGIN, ILLINOIS 60120 Urban Design and Preservation Specialist City of Elgin 150 Dexter Court Elgin,IL. 60120 RE: 217—219 National Street,Elgin, Illinois Dear Mr. Saber: In response to onsite conditions of the North wall after selective demolition, structural work on the existing fapde is required. I am submitting the following proposal to expand the Fagade Program for 217—219 National Street. This expansion would include the designing of the foundation wall, footings and detailing structural steel to the existing structure. The structural issue of the front wall includes existing masonry piers that have deteriorated and steel columns and beams that have failed. Rain water from the sidewalk has infiltrated and has deteriorated the structural elements causing the front brick and storefront to sag in the middle of the front fagade several inches. The condition has broken windows and bricks. Masonry has fallen out of the front faVade and window openings have become stuck shut because of the sagging conditions. This work should be done as soon as possible due to the nature of the poor condition of the existing structure which is temporarily shored up. This work coincides with the sidewalk work and ramp that was already proposed. The work on the sidewalk, ramp and fagade cannot continue until a new wall is constructed to hold up the failed columns,walls and beams. The existing columns are literally dangling at this time, because the beams they sat on have washed away. Please find photos enclosed of the existing conditions and note the deteriorated beams and masonry. A structural engineer must provide the detailing for the new steel connections to the old structure, design foundation and footing for the front of the building within the confines of the existing building. The engineer must analyze the roof,second floor, first floor and existing basement structure to calculate the loads involved in the whole front of the building,not just the front wall. These calculations and analysis should be done by a licensed structural engineer to insure a complete design of these major structural elements. 1. Greg Berna will be involved in coordinating the plans, specifications,and construction visits. Pease Borst Associates LLC are the structural engineers that will be providing the structural engineering. 2. The lump sum for these services is: $3,000.00. 3. The cost for the new foundation wall and footing is being estimated and will provide as soon as possible. 4. Additional Services: Not included are surveys, soils and EPA testing,permit costs, printing bid sets for contractors, and extensive redesigning due to major unknown structural conditions or vaults. 5. Qualifications: Services will be provided by a licensed and in architect and a licensed and insured structural engineer. This proposal is binding for 60 days.

As you are well aware,the deterioration of the steel beams,column.%and masonry oolumny supporting the entire second floor has made it ncces.wy to revise our initial construction plan involving the front wall and support for the 2nd floor steel beam. Upon rcviewing the plan provided by the structural engineer it was put out for a revised bid based upon the new work required. Total additional costs for the reconstruction work will result in an increase in costs of S 19,450.00. Mainly this is due to the support of the entire 2`"floor while the work is being completed and the costs of the concrete/steel reinforcing for the new front concrete wall. Instead of a temporary bracing to reinforce the front colunms while we in called the new masonry supports in the basement we had to bring in a house mover to support the entire front 2"floor since sidewalk,steel beams,and existing masonry columns have to be removed in their entirety. Instead of installing concretc block on the lower level bctwccn the existing masonry colun ms and reinforcing the two main support columns as originally propowd actual conditions require the entire removal of the TOMMY columns along with the horizonW steel beams supporting the storefront above and the front sidewalk. As per the s1ructtural engineers design we will have to install new footings and walls along with the steel reinforcing as required to support the front of the building. Demolition of the front sidewalk will have to be done in sections as we have to be carefull not to disturb the house jacks holding the front of the building. If you have any questions or would like any further clarification on the breakdown of costs feel flee to call. I would be happy to supply you with arty and all information you require.
